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.

My Testing Experience

I tested out the Series Two Plush Pillow Top mattress with the help of my partner, gauging the comfort, support, edge support, and motion transfer levels.

When I first laid down, it felt pretty cushy but I could feel a sturdy supportive base beneath those initial comfort layers. I would rate it a 6 out of 10 on our comfort scale.

Your heavier areas, like your hips and shoulders, will sink into the layers until they reach the more firm support layers. If you are a smaller person, you may not feel that happen at all, but heavier people will.

Motion transfer was pretty much nonexistent with this bed, I could barely feel it at all when my partner climbed in and out of bed, even if he flopped down.

The edge support was good when lying near the edge, however it wasn't very sturdy for sitting. I could feel myself slipping as I sat on the edge of the bed.

If you like a memory foam feel, this mattress is not for you. It has a very traditional innerspring feel.

  • Excellent motion transfer reduction

Conclusion

This is a traditional innerspring pillow top mattress, which is a good option for side sleepers. It has sturdy support you can feel and cushioning to provide pressure relief.

It has excellent motion transfer reduction capabilities, making it a good choice for couples. I was very impressed by how little I felt when my partner moved around or got in and out of the bed.

The edge support is good when lying down so that also helps make it an optimal choice for couples, especially if sharing a queen. However, it doesn't have the most sturdy sitting edge, so if that's important to you this may not be the bed for you.

I would feel comfortable recommending this bed to those who like a traditional innerspring feel that is soft but not too soft. The brand is very reputable for its quality and I know it'll last for a long time, providing a supportive sleeping experience.
