Beautyrest Black L-Class Plush Pillowtop Mattress Review

Updated June 25, 2024

L Class Plush Pillowtop mattress in a luxurious textured bedroom

The Beautyrest Black L-Class Plush Pillowtop is the softest, L-Class model from Beautyrest.  The L-Class models are the entry-level series in the brand and this model has many of the available and important Black Collection features.  It's the most expensive model in the L-Class collection.  We've reviewed the mattress in order to help you understand it better:

Comfort Scale Rating

The L-Class Plush Pillowtop mattress has a very soft feel; we rate it a 7 on our 10 point Comfort Scale (a 1 is hard, 10 is softest.)  This kind of mattress is a good compromise for sleep partners who have different comfort preferences. However, if you prefer a super soft or much firmer bed then you may want to choose a different model.

Pros & Cons

PROS CONS
  • Premium materials and construction
  • T3 Pocketed Coil system provides excellent support and contouring

  • The Softer mattress may not appeal to those seeking a firm or medium comfort

Pressure Test Results

We tested the L-Class Plush Pillowtop mattress with petite, average, and large body size models who laid on their side and back sleeping positions so we could see how this bed's comforts might meet your needs. (Learn how we test.) 

This model tested very well and is highly recommended for almost every body type and sleep style.  We did discover that there are considerable pressure points in the shoulder area of large-sized people who sleep on their sides.  Despite this fact, I do recommend this bed to all medium and small-sized people regardless of how you sleep on the bed.  Eight different comfort layers work together to provide you with conforming support and plush comfort.

In your decision-making, I'd suggest you consider our testing results as shown below in shopping for the L-Class Plush Pillow Top mattress:

The pressure test results for this mattress are not yet available but it will be available soon.  Below is just an example.

Conclusion

The Black L-Class Plush Pillowtop mattress is a tall mattress that's 14.5" high.  It's tall because of its pillow top design, and also because it has a lot of features packed into the bed.  Seven different layers of foam work with the pocketed coil system to bring you super soft, plush comfort that works for almost every sleep style and body type.

All the L-Class beds have BlackICE cooling material, Beautyrest Gel Memory Foam, and the Zoned T3 Pocketed Coils.  These are all premium features you'd expect in an expensive bed like this.

The C Plush Pillowtop has layers of Gel Memory Foam, one of the best foam layers used in mattresses.  Gel memory foam helps to conform under your body and it also helps to dissipate body heat.  And the model has several layers including the SurfaceTouch Memory Foam layer.  They all work together to make this mattress soft and give it a super plush feel.

The L Plush Pillow top will appeal to you if you are looking for an entry-level, super soft mattress.  You get thick layers of gel foam giving it a very soft feel.  The bed has lots of feature value included, so you are also getting a lot for the higher price.
