Beautyrest BR800 Mattress Reviews

Updated February 11, 2023

The Beautyrest BR800 collection is a 5-bed collection. They're an economically priced group of beds. While Beautyrest does make more expensive models, these will still represent reasonable quality and features you'd expect from a well-known company like this one. You can read on for more details on these mattresses in our expert review below:

Type of Construction

Beautyrest BR800 mattresses are spring mattresses built on an 800 Series Pocketed Coil. Even though these are lower-priced beds, they're still made with pocketed innerspring coils. These are good because they provide support with each coil independently for targeted, pinpoint support. And they also minimize motion disturbance if your sleeping partner is getting into or out of bed. The mattresses have foam layers on top of the springs for contouring and additional support.

Beautyrest BR800 - An Overview

The BR800 group of beds is the lowest priced in the Beautyrest Collection, as I mentioned above. The 5 beds provide a range of comforts from firm to softer feels. Those feels are made with different style tops from the firm, flat tops to plush, and even puffier pillow tops. All the mattresses have the 800 Series Pocketed Coil innerspring system, a Dual Cool Cover which is a feature that's also included on their more expensive beds.

The purpose of the Dual Cool Cover is to keep you cool when you're sleeping, which is important because you cannot sleep as well as possible if your bed gets too hot.  Except for the lowest-priced model, the other 4 mattresses all have some Gel Memory Foam in their construction. The gel is a high quality, premium material and they've added to these beds too. The gel within the memory foam helps to keep your bed cool and also does a good job of helping the mattress conform to your body curves.

There are different combinations of foams on these models designed to achieve different feels.  You can see those differences in the specs below. Another good feature is that all the beds have edge support, which helps you sleep up to the edge of the mattress with a consistent feel and minimize the chance of rolling off a floppy edge.

More about the Simmons Beautyrest Brand

Simmons Mattress Company has been a leader in mattress manufacturing for over 100 years. Their Beautyrest flagship brand has been a household name for many decades. Many people remember the “bowling ball” commercial where a bowling ball was dropped on a mattress to highlight their pocketed coils (a glass of wine would sit undisturbed when the ball bounced on the other side of the bed.)

A few years ago Simmons merged with Serta into the Serta Simmons Bedding Company becoming one of the 2 largest mattress companies in the world.  In 2018 they merged again with Tuft & Needle.  Simmons now markets the Black, Platinum, Hybrid, and Silver mattress collections.

Simmons is a large factory producer and they design and manufacture many of their own components in addition to assembling the mattresses. They have decades of experience and expertise in designing and making mattresses. Simmons makes millions of mattresses each year and they’ve maintained a positive reputation over the long run. So keep this in mind when you see some review sites call out consumer complaints.  Questions to ask yourself when looking at review sites are what is their sample size, how do they gather reviews, etc. Does it look representative of tens of millions of customers? The truth is Simmons has tens of millions of satisfied customers they've earned over the decades.
