Beautyrest Black L-Class Plush Pillowtop Mattress Review

Updated October 28, 2022

The Beautyrest Black L-Class Plush Pillowtop is the softest, L-Class model from Beautyrest.  The L-Class models are the entry-level series in the brand and this model has many of the available and important Black Collection features.  It's the most expensive model in the L-Class collection.  We've reviewed the mattress in order to help you understand it better:

Comfort Scale Rating

The L-Class Plush Pillowtop mattress has a very soft feel; we rate it a 7 on our 10 point Comfort Scale (a 1 is hard, 10 is softest.)  This kind of mattress is a good compromise for sleep partners who have different comfort preferences. However, if you prefer a super soft or much firmer bed then you may want to choose a different model.

Pressure Test Results

We tested the L-Class Plush Pillowtop mattress with petite, average, and large body size models who laid on their side and back sleeping positions so we could see how this bed's comforts might meet your needs. (Learn how we test.) 

This model tested very well and is highly recommended for almost every body type and sleep style.  We did discover that there are considerable pressure points in the shoulder area of large-sized people who sleep on their sides.  Despite this fact, I do recommend this bed to all medium and small-sized people regardless of how you sleep on the bed.  Eight different comfort layers work together to provide you with conforming support and plush comfort.

In your decision-making, I'd suggest you consider our testing results as shown below in shopping for the L-Class Plush Pillow Top mattress:

The pressure test results for this mattress are not yet available but it will be available soon.  Below is just an example.
