Comfort Scale Rating

The C-Class Medium mattress has a medium-firm feel, we rate it a 3 on our 10 point Comfort Scale (a 1 is hard, 10 is softest.) This mattress is on the firmer side of medium, but not too hard, and will still appeal to a lot of people. Look into one of the other C-Class models with a different comfort if you think that this comfort will be too firm for you.

c-class medium features

1. Antimicrobial Mattress Protection

SurfaceTouch Gel Memory Foam is sewn into the quilt to work directly under the sleep surface to quickly unlock advanced pressure point relief from the moment you lie down.

4. Firm Comfort Foam

High quality comfort foams in different levels of plushness used in various constructions to create comfort preferences.

5. Self Response Latex 

Arguably the best comfort foam in mattresses, latex provides superior pressure relief for less tossing and turning while pushing back against the body for a more supportive feel. Anti-microbial and anti-dustmite properties contribute to a healthier sleep environment.

6. Alpaca, Cashmere and Silk Comfort Layer

This layer is 100% natural and will help wick away moisture and enhance the cooling features within the mattress.

7. GelTouch Foam

A soft gel foam that helps provide comfort, support, airflow and breathability.

8. T3 Pocketed Coil Technology

Exclusive to Beautyrest Black, this coil works to provide individualized back support, ease of movement, and pressure point relief throughout the night.

9. Energy Foam

This durable foam utilized below the coil unit helps create a supportive, durable foundation for the no-flip mattress design.

New Features

Compared to the old model, the new C-Class Medium uses some new materials. There is now SurfaceTouch Gel Memory Foam as well as Alpaca, Cashmere, and Silk Fibers in the comfort layers.

Beautyrest Black C-Class FAQs

Conclusion

The Black C-Class Medium mattress is on the firmer side of medium and is made by Simmons, one of the most innovative bedding companies in business today. It is medium-firm which means it gives strong firm support with slightly more support than the firm mattress, plus it's not the most expensive mattress they offer.

It has the same key features as all Beautyrest Black beds: BlackICE cooling material and the Zoned T3 Pocketed Coils. It also has GelTouch Foam which is an advanced cooling and conforming foam. RightTemp is an advanced, premium foam in C-Class and K-Class models. 

It's not a cheap bed and it's not something most people can afford. However, it does offer good value for the price if you are shopping in this price range. The premium cooling materials, the comforting and conforming foams, and the advanced pocketed coil design are all worthy features.
