Beautyrest Silver BRS900-C Plush Mattress Review

Updated September 7, 2022

The BRS900-C Plush mattress is the middle bed in the BRS900 "C" Beautyrest Silver collection and it's a top-rated model for pressure relief and conforming support. It's very similar to the BRS900C Medium mattress, except for one layer of material. This review will help you understand this mattress better if you're considering it for yourself.

Comfort Scale Rating

The BRS900-C Plush mattress has a soft feel; we rate it a 7 on our 10 point Comfort Scale (a 1 is hard, 10 is softest.) This mattress appeals to those who like a softer-feeling mattress. If you like a firmer/harder bed then you should consider a different Beautyrest model.

Pressure Test Results

Our pressure testing of the BRS900 Plush Pillow Top mattress has shown that the mattress provides excellent support and body contouring for proper spinal alignment and plush comfort. (Learn how we test.)  Using models of large, average, and petite sizes we have them lay down on each mattress in their back and side sleeping positions to give us an array of what most people can expect from each bed.

The test data for the BRS900 Plush Pillow Top mattress shows it has excellent pressure-relieving capabilities for everybody's body size and sleeping position. It's easy to understand the pressure data in the color-coded format below (blue and green are lower pressure and yellow or red show increased levels of pressure under a resting body.) These pressure map images show that there's very little excess pressure which is the primary cause of tossing and turning throughout the night. 

Another aspect of our testing is to ensure that you get the proper support in areas like the lower back, which this mattress provided very well. The importance of proper support cannot be overstated either. This bed performed exceptionally well in providing proper support for correct spinal alignment. Incorrect alignment of your spine would lead to discomfort or even lower back pain making for a terrible sleeping experience.

Conclusion

The BRS900-C Plushmattress has a softer feel, but still one that most people will like. It is very similar to the slightly firmer BRS900-C Medium mattress, basically the same bed except for one layer of foam.  Our experts have conducted their pressure testing and this bed comes very highly recommended for people of all sizes and sleep references  Based on the results of our pressure testing this bed has earned a recommended rating for all body types and sleep positions. 

Since it is a softer feeling mattress, it will work for most people except those that prefer a harder feel. It also has some better features like the moisture-wicking and temperature-cooling materials on the top of the bed to help you sleep cool and dry. There are generous layers of conforming foams, the key differentiator on this model being the 2" layer of GelTouch Foam to help give it the medium (soft) feeling.

Like all the BRS900 beds, it has individually pocketed coils which provide a very good foundation of support. Plus this design helps minimize the movement you'd feel when someone else is getting in or out of bed while you're trying to sleep.

At a reasonable price, it's a solid choice for a bed.  It has some premium features as mentioned above, and it comes from a very respected manufacturer with a 10-year warranty. It's a good buy and I positively recommend this mattress to anyone who wants a luxurious, softer-feeling bed with exceptional support and body contouring without the premium price tag.
