The Kenosha Place Medium Mattress is one of seven Kenosha Place models that are part of the Beautyrest Silver collections of beds made by Simmons Bedding.  It has a medium-firm feel and is reasonably priced. Please continue reading for more information including in-depth videos, recommendations based on science, and our expert opinion:

Comfort Scale Rating

The Kenosha Place Medium mattress has a medium-firm feeling that we rate a 3 on our 10 point Comfort Scale (a 1 is hard, 10 is softest.)  This type of feeling will appeal to those people that prefer a firm-feeling mattress that has some cushioning.  It will not, however, appeal to those who go for a softer feeling mattress, those people would be better off with one of the other Kenosha Place models with a plusher comfort level.

Pressure Test Results

Using models with petite, average, and larger-sized bodies we've pressure-tested the Kenosha Place Medium 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.) 

This mattress performed quite well during testing, earning 4 out of 6 'recommended' scores for its pressure-relieving capabilities and how it can support your back properly.  As you can see below the side sleepers are the ones who really benefit from this bed's back support and pressure relief the most.  A properly supported back means that your spine is properly aligned which avoids aches and pains the next day.  How the mattress disperses your weight is how it relieves the pressure on your hips and shoulders, both of which get excellent pressure relief from this bed.  How we're reading these images is based on the colors shown, green areas are good pressure relief, yellow are areas where pressure is built up, and red is where there's far too much pressure.  As you can see this bed does a really good job of relieving pressure.

Conclusion

The Kenosha Place Medium Mattress represents a great choice for a firmer-feeling bed that's very affordable. The Kenosha Place model name is specific to US-Mattress only, most mattress manufacturers offer their beds to retailers with unique names, it's a standard industry practice.  

This mattress has fewer materials than the higher-end models in the Beautyrest Silver collection, but it still offers good firmer comfort that has been rated very highly for its ability to relieve excess pressure on your joints and to provide good back support. The 900 Series Firm Pocketed Coils are part of where you get the firmer feeling from this mattress, they conform to your body while also isolating motion transfer from you and your sleep partner. Another nice feature is the AirCool Foam which has a channeled design meant to draw heat away from your body and channel it away so it can be expelled outwards. This foam works with the DualCool Technology in the cover to keep you cooler while you sleep.

I would recommend this mattress to all people who like a firm feel with a bit of cushioning. Not only do you get the comfort you prefer with outstanding support and pressure relief, but you also save a bunch of money in comparison to higher-end models with similar features. All said, this bed is an excellent choice if this is the comfort you're looking for in a mattress.
