Beautyrest Black C-Class Medium Pillowtop Mattress Review

Updated October 28, 2022

The Beautyrest Black C-Class Medium Pillowtop is a great, all-around luxury mattress. It's the sister model to the softer "Plush" Pillowtop model. We've outlined the features in our review below.  

Comfort Scale Rating

The C-Class Medium Pillowtop mattress has a firmer comfort feel; we rate it a 3 on our 10 point Comfort Scale (a 1 is hard, 10 is softest.) This mattress is sturdy but with some nice cushioning, due to the pillow top.

The Main Beautyrest Black C-Class Medium Pillowtop Features in Detail

1. Antimicrobial Mattress Protection

Keeps mattress fresh and clean from odor causing bacteria.

2. BlackICE 4.0 with Plant-Based Cooling Technology

Cooling materials just beneath the surface enhance heat dissipation that help provide up to 18% more cooling power to keep you comfortable while you sleep.

4. Firm Comfort Foam

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

5. GelTouch Foam

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

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. 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.

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

The new C-Class Medium Pillow has a couple of differences from the previous model. There is now SurfaceTouch Gel Memory Foam as well as Alpaca, Cashmere, and Silk Fibers in the comfort layers.
