The material in the quilt has cooling characteristics, so you won't be getting too hot during the night, and you'll fall asleep faster.
This foam provides pressure relief that will keep you comfortable the whole night.
The coils move independently, so they contour to the curves of your body providing precise support right where needed.

The Harmony Lux Carbon 1000 Medium Pillow Top mattress has a 10-year warranty against factory defects.
The Harmony Lux Carbon 1000 Medium Pillow Top mattress is a medium-feeling pillow top bed that is a part of the Beautyrest Harmony Lux collection of mattresses by Simmons. It's one of five available Harmony Lux Carbon Series models. There's also the Diamond Series, which has four models that are slightly more high-end.
This mattress comes in at a happy middle-ground, working well for just about anyone. It has great features, like edge support and advanced cooling technology. It makes an effort at being eco-conscious, including plastic reclaimed from ocean debris in the cover (this is what does the cooling). And it performed particularly well during pressure testing, as it has foams that are very pressure-relieving and an excellent back support system. The alternating coil in the center third will keep the spine in good alignment.
I'd feel comfortable recommending the Harmony Lux Carbon 1000 Medium Pillow Top Mattress to anyone, just looking at the materials, features, and construction. However, once we get the mattress in our facility and can test it out, I'll have more details.
