Pressure Test Results

We did a pressure test on the BRS900 medium-firm mattress. We tested the bed using petite, average, and large body size models who laid on their side and back sleeping positions to see what kind of support and comfort can be expected by most people. (Learn how we test.)

This mattress performed impressively well during pressure testing demonstrating outstanding back support and magnificent pressure relief. As you can see in the images below this mattress earned all six possible 'recommended' scores for its ability to properly align your spine with its back supportive pocketed coils and relieve peak pressure points (your hips and shoulders) with its various layers of comfort foams. A bed that relieves excess pressure on your body is one that will ensure you don't spend your night tossing and turning trying to find a more comfortable sleep position. A properly aligned spine is quite important as well, too much or too little back support will lead to lower back pain, neck stiffness, and muscle spasms. This bed exhibited excellent back support and pressure relief throughout testing.

What you're looking for in these images is how many green and light blue areas there are on the bodies, these show where the body is receiving good back support and pressure relief. Yellow areas exhibit an increase in pressure though not so much that the bed would cause discomfort. Red areas are where there's a large excess of pressure which can lead to tossing and turning at night. As you can see there are minimal red areas in the images below which is why we can call this bed recommended for all people, regardless of body size or sleep position.

The Main BRS900 Medium Firm Features in Detail

1. Dual Cool Cover

The cooling layer under the cover. These fibers help flow heat away from you.
2. Gel Memory Foam

This gel memory foam layer has cooling properties inherent in the gel - located on the center third of a foam layer.
3. 900 Series Pocketed Coil

Individually pocketed coils are great because they provide precise support on each part of your body.

Conclusion

We gave the BRS900 Medium Firm a solid rating. We like this mattress because it has some key features and it's offered at a relatively modest price.

This model has the pocketed coil innerspring support which is the best way to go in an innerspring mattress because you get pinpointed support under every part of your body. Pocketed coils also help minimize motion transfer, so you don't feel other people getting in or out of bed as much. All of the Beautyrest Silver models have the Gel Memory Foam Center Third Support which is placed in the lower back region of your body to add to this bed's excellent back support system which aligns your spine correctly.

The bed is the lowest-priced for Beautyrest Silver, so it’s a decent price for this mattress. The bed has a slightly firm feeling, but not too much, in fact, most people will find this mattress suitable. However, if you like a soft mattress you'll want to look at other BRS900 models with a different comfort type. There are more expensive options on the market if you want more luxury features. Beautyrest Silver is a mid-range brand and competes with a lot of other brands. It comes from a trusted brand so you can trust you'll get a good bed for a reasonable price. I do recommend this mattress as an affordable bed with several high-quality features.
