The Kenosha Place Extra Firm Mattress is a very firm-feeling bed in the Beautyrest Silver collection by Simmons Bedding.  This bed is so good at providing firm comfort that it earned the #10 spot on our Top Ten Beautyrest Mattresses of 2022 list!  If you're still interested in more information about this mattress please read our expert review below:

Comfort Scale Rating

The Kenosha Place Extra Firm mattress has a medium-feeling that we rated a 2 on our 10 point Comfort Scale (a 1 is hard, 10 is softest.)  This bed feels almost like you laid a blanket on the floor and laid down on it to sleep, it's that hard!  Those that like this kind of feel to their beds will love this bed, everyone else should consider one of the six other Kenosha Place models with more comfort.

Pressure Test Results

Using models with petite, average, and larger-sized bodies we've pressure tested the Kenosha Place Extra Firm mattress to learn if the bed provides good support, pressure relief, and comfort.  We had our models lie on their side and back sleeping positions on this mattress for a clear representation of how well this mattress will perform for most people. (Learn how we test.) 

It was no surprise that this mattress did not perform very well during our pressure testing.  Most mattresses that are very firm tend to cause excess pressure in the hips and shoulders because of the extra tension in the coils and firmer foams used to build them.  That said, this mattress did earn one 'recommended' score for average-sized people who sleep in their backs.  The back support that this mattress offers people in that weight range is quite good, you can expect this bed to properly align your spine and distribute your weight appropriately.  

It's worth noting again that this very firm comfort type will really only appeal to those who prefer that feeling.  If you're still collecting information about this mattress please consider our testing results in your analysis of the Kenosha Place Extra Firm mattress.

Warranty

The Kenosha Place Extra Firm Mattress has a 10-year warranty against factory defects.

Conclusion

The Kenosha Place Extra Firm Mattress feels almost like you're laying on a solid floor, it's very firm with little to no give.  You should really only be considering this mattress if you want a super firm bed to sleep on.  

While this bed does have the 900 Series Pocketed Coil system that is standard in all Beautyrest Silver models the coils are firmer than most of the other comfort types. You also get AirCool Foam in this bed that has a channeled design meant to draw heat from your body and channel it outwards to keep you cool all night.

I only recommend this mattress to people who like this type of comfort in their mattress.  The bed is a really good value at an affordable price with good construction.
