The results of our pressure testing on the Beautyrest Harmony Lux Carbon 1000 Medium Pillow Top mattress are below. We tested to see if the bed provides good support, pressure relief, and comfort for large, medium, and petite-sized people. Using models of each size we map their bodies while lying down on their side and back sleeping positions for a clear image of how well this mattress will perform for most people. (Learn how we test.) 

The HLC1000 Medium Pillow Top mattress performed exceptionally well during pressure testing. It exhibited excellent pressure relief and proper back support for all body types and sleep positions. It was a bit surprising to see a mattress with this type of comfort perform so well, earning five out of six 'recommended' scores for its ability to properly cradle all the contours of your body.

What you can see in the images below is that there's almost no areas shaded either yellow or red which would indicate excessive pressure on those parts of the body.
