Beautyrest Black Series Two Firm Mattress Review

Updated August 13, 2024

Overview

The Series Two mattress is the first level in the Beautyrest Black mattresses to feature the Micro Diamond Memory Foam, which provides cooling and comfort. The firm comfort option has a bit of a cushiony top with firm underlying support. I would rate it a 3 out of 10 on our comfort scale.

My Testing Experience

I tested out the Series Two Firm mattress, with the help of my partner, to see how it held up to sitting on the edge, laying in different positions, and how motion transfers when someone else gets in and out of bed.

Right when I laid down, I felt the cushiony part but quickly sank through it and could feel a sturdy supportive layer beneath it. It didn't feel hard, just unyielding.

It was very comfortable for laying on your back and stomach, though I felt some pressure on my shoulder when I switched to my side. It wasn't too bad though, so if you're a side sleeper with a preference for firm, just get a thick enough pillow to keep your head propped up. That'll help prevent your shoulder from having to sink into the bed as much. 

I did not feel that the edge support was all that strong, I felt like I was sort of slipping off the edge when I sat down. However, it did hold up well when laying near the edge. 

I barely felt my partner moving, getting up, or getting in bed. There was hardly any motion transfer at all. The time I felt it most was if he sat down at the end of the bed while I was laying down.

Pros and Cons

PROS CONS
  • Includes diamond-infused foam for advanced temperature regulation
  • Great for back or stomach sleepers
  • Minimizes motion transfer extremely well
  • Very solid support that should hold up over time
  • Price is out of reach of many mattress-buyers
  • Sitting edge isn't the most sturdy
  • Pressure on shoulder if you are a side sleeper
