Wonderful video. I really hate shopping for a mattress because alot of these sales people try to BS me into what i DON'T WANT & NEED! So I have to study well before making a major purchase. And its so true most of these companies cheat the public. Years ago there was no such thing as buying a bed without a box spring, in fact the box springs were made of steel not like today cheap wood. And growing up in the late 1960s & 70s my parents never had to replace beds in our household. That may have occurred like after 10 years or more. So today unfortunately i must make very wise purchases

Cannot tell you how informative this video is. I purchased a mattress just over a year ago through matress firm. It was supposed to be a firm, but ended up being like a marshmellow and it is the worst mattress I've had the misforturn of sleeping on. After a month it sank in the middle leaving me to flail in order to get out of bed. The Black by Beautyrest was recommended, but after your tear down it looks like I'd be having the same issues trying to get out. Such a beautify with the coils in the Beauty Rest, but there is just too much foam on the top. Why not just have the coils do the job? I'm looking for a mattress that is firm but not rock hard. I absolutely want the coils. I'm old, I have arthritis, a bad back and knees. I recently slept on a Beautyrest Recharge - Trevor matress. It was wonderful, but I see it's discontinued. What mattress would you recommend for my broken old body?

[@davebowman5581]

Thank you Guys for doing this video, and getting the word out. We purchased a Beautyrest Black C class Mattress with the foam top layers for $3000.00 in July of 2022. In less than 6 months we were experiencing very noticeable sagging. We found that the warranty only covers sagging of at least 1-1/2”. We are already more than half way there. This mattress is suppose to last 7-10 years. We are so uncomfortable sleeping on this bed that we are going to go back to the mattress we had used prior to buying the Beautyrest. Now we are stuck with a very expensive mattress that we can not even sleep on. We are so disappointed and upset that we intend to tell everyone about the low quality and bad service we have received from both Beautyrest and Macy’s. STAY AWAY FROM MACY'S ! Any advice to resolve this issue would be Helpful.

[@WoodGuy]

I was a consultant to a major mattress manufacturer based in Southern Calif. for 5 years. They sold their beds to employees at cost. I had a friend ask me if I could get him a bed, so I said I'll check. He told me the bed he wanted and it retailed for $1200.00. This was back in the early 80's. I was really shocked when my employee price for that mattress was $180.00. The mattress industry has ridiculous markups. That 5000 dollar bed in this video probably cost them 600 to make. That's just a guess, but I'm probably not far off, might even be less. The hearing aid industry is just as bad, or worse. In my marketing class in college we were assigned to pick an item and research it and give a presentation about it in class. A kid gets up and talks about hearing aids and how a pair of hearing aids sells for $500.00 and the cost is $25.00. The professor stopped him right away and said, that can't be right, where did you get that information. The kid says, it's my mothers business, she sells hearing aids. The look on the professors face and the faces of the class were the same, total shock and it was audible. My first thought was, that's kind of disgusting to have that kind of markup on a item that people with a hearing problem can't live without. I'm sure my professor had the same feeling. So much so that it took him a few minutes to soak that all in before he was able to read out the name of the next student. This took place in 1971. If you disregard the shock of that markup you can sort of justify it by the fact that hearing aids weren't selling to mass markets. So if you had a retail building and sold just hearing aids, you needed a healthy markup to stay in business.

I’ve got the “firm” version of the Beauty Rest Black with a nice and affordable pillow top added on. I expect that we’ll replace the pillow top when it gets worn out, but I’m optimistic that the mattress will last a long time. We did this by accident, liked the firm mattress when we bought it but after sleeping on it for a week we decided that it was a bit too firm. Lots of different options for pillow tops allowed us to get something that was just right for us. If I ever need to buy another mattress I’ll do something similar, firm mattress with a separate pillow top.

Oh god, now I'm scared. Literally just purchased the C-Class Medium Firm/Lux Firm mattress... then I find this video :D I didn't see the K-Class model at our retailer, only the C-Class. And this mattress appears to be the Plush version. I'm a back sleeper, so I was leaning into a firm mattress. My wife preferred not to go with a firm as she sleeps on her side, so we went the middle version which is supposed to be rated for both back and side sleepers; named Luxury Firm at the retailer we have here in Canada, or Medium Pillow Top when looking at the US website. The margins can't be that thin as we got a $4k+ mattress for more less than half the price during Boxing Day promotions. Time will tell I guess, and hopefully the construction is better than the one in the video. Thanks for these types of reviews, it's pretty cool to see the guts of what we sleep on these days.

Hey @roryfeeney6972, that suck ... so the jury is still out as we've had the mattress for only 2 weeks, and it's on the floor while we wait for the new bed it will be set up on. Our mattress, even though a medium firm, it still has a pillow top to it. The pillow top is definitely remembering my sleeping form. I'm tempted to go back to the store to lay on the firm again as I thought it was still soft. The problem now is if we swap the mattress now, it will cost us an additional amount as the sale is over. So we're going to give it a good couple months before that decision has to be made. We're still struggling with sheets too. But otherwise the construction is holding up, unlike the one in this video.

It seems a lot of people have the same issues based on the reviews and your reviews show why.

I purchased a Beautyrest back in 2019 that was just below the Black series. It lasted less than 18 months before it completely sagged and springs could be felt. Then the utter BS of the Beautyrest warranty came into play. Because I got the mattress on sale, the Beautyreast warranty didn't replace with a comparable mattress, but one of similar price to the discounted price. The replacement is utter garbage.

I have had the new mattress for less than a year, and it already has a one and a half inch sag, and my back is starting to hurt again. I have a top quality solid foundation, so that is not the issue. So in my experience, it looks like the life of latex is one to two years, and quality Talalay latex is very expensive. Also, in my experience the latex has a very dense, rubbery feel even in the plush layers that I did not find comfortable, and often woke up with pain in my hip and shoulder even with their plushest firmness level mattress.

So far it looks like I might need to plunk down approx $500 (queen size) for a new cover and latex layer on top of the coils, which seems to me like a worthy gamble. It's just too bad my original cover didn't already have a zipper, but I could imagine how much cost it would add, given how they were already skimping so much on the glue!!!

We haven't found a bed that compares to that awesomeness since. We did get a Jamison from a factory warehouse place and it was NOT like the old quality. We both want some softness but not something that will put us in a hole after a few hours. I'm beyond frustrated. This BR was sooo expensive from Mattress Firm. We are side sleepers with some low back and shoulder pain. Not sure what to get now ):

Just purchased a beauty rest black exquisite edition, had no idea what i was looking for and strictly went for the besuty rest brand because of aesthetics and price , i assumed it must be good , i guess ill soon find out lol

Great Video ! We bought the King L- Class Plush Pillow Top from RTG. It sagged almost immediately. I implemented the RTG 90 Love it or Swap warranty. Upgraded to CX-Class Hybrid. So far Awesome, no sagging or shifting,, but we Just got it so we will see. Interesting note, on these Black Series Mattresses, they have a Color Stripe on top of them indicating what level they are. Black Stripe = L- Class, Red Stripe = C- Class, Gold Stripe = K Class. K Class being the 'best' with those little coils layer like we saw in the video. Mine is a CX-Class Hybrid, per the Box and TAG on the mattress. But, the mattress actually has a Gold Stipe on it...... Maybe a mis-label and I got lucky by buying a CX -Class but actually have a KX- Class? I will report back in a few months if this sags.

[@johnnicolas1847]

How is your mattress treating you after 4 months? We unfortunately bought one last month and I'm starting to have buyer remorse from watching videos like this one. So far no sagging though but we only have 2 more months to return it.

[@micheleduke2200]

I bought a Beauty Rest Black flat top medium firm. The black is known for its cooling properties. I have had it 7 months and I don’t think it is very cooling.

[@spencersmattress]

Thanks for sharing! Perhaps it’s all of that memory foam, at the end of the day polyurethane and foams aren’t going to breathe even if they feel cool to the touch. So it’s likely not cooling at all.

[@micheleduke2200]

I don’t want to feel the coils below me. I bought a Beautyrest Black CX medium firm. It is too firm. Wish I had bought a plush, but was told to buy the firmest mattress that. I could tolerate as a softer mattress would wear out quicker.

This was a awesome video and you guys are awesome. Thank you for being 100% honest. There aren't vids like this. I've been shopping for a mattress and this helped so much. Than You.

[@markdelao3346]

I had one of these. It began to sag in about 8 months.One of the things they told me that it had a better warranty so less sagging allowed. They were right and warrantied it without a problem. But the next one lasted just over a year. Same problem. For that price I was not going to just live with it. The store did warranty again but only gave me in store credit. I bought my 1st memory foam but a different brand. The store sold many brands. But I had to use up the rest of the store credit to buy pillows and sheets etc. In one way it sucked buying overpriced extras but in another way I was able to use the beds for almost 2 years without paying for it ( sort of ). Memory foam was great no problems lasted till I sold it because I was moving to another state. Bought another memory foam and am still happy. At least the store took care of me with the credit instead of nothing or too bad. I know we should not have to feel a person got lucky, but it seems like greed has made manufacturers that way now.

About 10 years ago I was in Sears having watch batteries put in and saw it in the matteress department. I laid on my back and was woken up a hour or so later. Too expensive but extreemely comfy. Maybe they need horse glue.

[@jenaccess4luv]

This is a very nice mattress the best in my opinion! They just need to come up with something to prevent the inner layers from shifting. My sister has this mattress and I purchased the Stearn and Foster Cassatt Ultra Plush the inner layers shifted into a big mound in the center of my bed. I opened it up and the glue failed, the memory foam failed and has only 2 layers of memory foam and those stupid coils. Overpriced!!!

[@Ripdizzle01]

This was a Black, but did you say what series this is? The higher lines are more expensive due to the 2nd row of springs. With the Series 1 or 2, you don't get the second set of micro-coils. I'm curious if you'd think that would be a better value, factoring in the build quality and likely similar materials. The Series 2 is ~$3500.

[@AndiS-dz4pq]

Wow, great information here. Thanks so much.

[@brianfuentes9950]

The question is what to buy or which brand?

Its probably too late but you could have kept the coils, upgraded the matress at the shop and gifted it to a needy local family.

[@XinLin1993]

@@brendameI have this mattress, it is good while it lasts. Firstly, this mattress is really really hot, so if you are a hot sleeper, you would not like this. In like a bit over a year, the top memory foam is not flat anymore and I think in a year and half, my husband (170lb) start to get back pain because where he slept, it sags and has no more support. It is not worth the money and I definitely would not purchase again…it did not even last longer than my college coil bed, lol

Hi Joe and Spencer, can you do a video about disassembling an all-foam in-a -box mattress? An all -foam mattress manufacture in China is negotiating with my father wanting him to be the sole sales agent in North America. my father want to know more about what the market is like for this type of mattress. Thanks!

[@liblib1815]

How about reversing the mattress ? Will it give more closer contact to the coils instead of cutting off the topper ?

[@retroelectrical]

No wonder BOTH of my hybrid black x mattresses failed in the past two years. The beds pretty much separated internally, and now I know why! They cheaped out on the cheapest part in the entire bed, friggin GLUE! lol. One of these days I'll be rich enough to order a custom bed.

[@trayvordemonslayer]

MAKE your own custom bed, DIY

[@SmallWonda]

It's kind of crazy, really isn't it? That we spend some of the MOST important times of our living in bed, yet we often are looking for a cheap, easy solution! I suppose in theory we should be looking for custom mattresses, especially with spinal injuries - & even before that I had the hardest time trying to get a comfortable night's rest... I'm desperate - so what to do?

[@eurekaelephant2714]

@@SmallWonda get access to a second hand mattress with good springs, and put your own layers on top, including latex.

[@SmallWonda]

@@eurekaelephant2714 Possibly a good idea - I need a step to climb in already! I did manage to get out & find a decent new replacement - it is hand-tucked and pretty comfortable. I found if the linen, like fitted sheets & protector, are too tight, that causes issues, too many layers over a crafted mattress & you lose the benefit of all that design. I have just discovered too, that if the pillows are laid flat rather than on their sides to support the spine when trying to sleep 'sitting up' makes a surprising difference. Getting a new back would probably be the best option! Thanks for your suggestion.😉

[@davidballance209]

Super interesting. We purchased a BR-B hybrid a few years ago before we found your videos. So of all the mattresses you manufacture - which one do you suggest we look at to replace our BR-B hybrid on the adjustable base?

[@spencersmattress]

In general the BRB hybrid is pocketed coils with memory foam or some other foam, it doesn’t look like it has much latex. In terms of lines we make.. we would suggest our “Loving Sleep”, “Churchill and Smith” or “Integrity Doctors Care” all three of these have latex with pocketed coils. Each one has a different feel though. Where are you located? Thanks so much for watching!!!!

What mattress should I get? Need a king size, firmer, non toxic material, and helps keep cool

[@moe47988]

Did he just say the mattress companies make pennies of profit on every mattress? There are so many mattress stores everywhere, and I heard that the reason for that is that they make so much money that they basically use them as billboards. So which one is it, it’s highly profitable or it isn’t?

[@spencersmattress]

@@moe47988 great question, we’ve had a few now on this comment- here’s an answer from Spencer. “Making mattresses is a highly specialized skill and in manufacturing sometimes we have to sell mattresses at our cost or just a little above to keep the staff busy when times are slow but all in all retail Mattress stores make a much higher margin than manufactures too. Don’t get me wrong manufactures make profit when times are good When times are bad we keep our skilled labor, workforce employed, turning goods until the profit structure improves. Sometimes it is pennies, but not all the time. Sometimes we sell them at a loss, but for the most part manufacturing mattresses is profitable.” Thanks for watching and commenting, we appreciate it!

[@danielnapoli649]

I have an adjustable bed. It's a full extra long so my choice of mattresses was limited. I wound up with a beauty rest. Though not a black, it is a thick, pillow top. For many reasons, I hate it. Its all deformed and uncomfortable. If I could afford to throw away a couple of thousand bucks, I'd rip mine apart too!

[@jamesdeluca3468]

I have a question.. I know the coils are based on a number.. but does that number translate to count directly? Like I found a supplier site listing BR models. but the coil density and coil count were completely different.. For example the 875 model harmony only had 672 coils in queen.. Is this correct? Do other brands with Quantum edge type coils list total count? ITs very confusing..

[@kcgunesq]

In any major city, you can likely find a mattress manufacturer. They will almost always build you a better mattress for a much lower price.

[@damham5689]

Curious as to whats actually inside the micro coil layers? Are their actually little coils inside it, or air ? Because it just looks like large bubble wrap ?

[@rmanbike]

Wait, is that a roll of low melt polyester fiber I see in the back!! ☹️ but I do see some latex foam, but it does not look like all natural latex? So where do you have a video of exactly how you build your mattresses?

Wath brand of mattress you make and sell??

[@maluminse6013]

All of these free returns are why mattresses are so ridiculously priced these days. Back in the day it would have been absurd to buy a mattress without first going to the store and laying on it. Returning a mattress after trying it out was a rarity...if it was allowed at all.
