Comfort Scale Rating

The Lydia Manor Medium Pillow Top mattress has a firmer feeling and is rated a 3 on our 10-point Comfort Scale (a 1 is hard, 10 is softest.) At this rating the bed will feel firm but not too hard, it definitely is a comfort that you'd want out of a mattress if you prefer a firmer bed. However, if you'd prefer a softer comfort the Lydia Manor comes in several other comfort types that might fit your needs better.

Pressure Test Results

We've put the Lydia Manor Medium Pillow Top mattress through pressure testing to see if the bed provides good support, pressure relief, and comfort for large, medium, and petite-sized people. Using models in each size group we've had them lie 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.) 

This mattress performed very well during testing, earning five out of six 'recommended' scores for its ability to properly support your back and give you great pressure relief. Perhaps the most important thing you can do for a good night’s sleep and your overall health is proper spinal alignment – making sure your spine is supported to rest in its natural curvature. This bed does an excellent job of supporting your back for proper spinal alignment.

It also relieves excess pressure on your peak pressure points, or your shoulders and hips, which is pretty crucial to good quality sleep as well. Too much pressure on your joints will cause you to toss and turn throughout the night making for a terrible night's sleep. The only obvious exception to this is the large-sized body in the side sleeper position that had a significant build-up of pressure in the shoulder area.

All this information is good stuff but it really doesn't explain what's going on in the images below. The color coding is pretty easy: green = good pressure relief, yellow = an increase in pressure, and red = too much pressure. The light blue areas in the lower back area exhibit where the body is receiving proper support for spinal alignment. Now that you know how we test and how we judge these photos you can take this information and use it in making your decision on purchasing your next mattress.

The Main Lydia Manor Medium Pillow Top Features in Detail

Lydia Manor Medium Pillowtop Mattress Cutaway Image

  1. 1. Dual Cool Plus Cover

    Moisture-wicking technology is built into the surface of this bed's cover which is ultimately designed to reduce your sleep temperature so you fall asleep faster and stay asleep throughout the night.

  2. 2. AirFeel Foam

    An important layer to help conform as well as support your body's natural curves, its open cell structure is designed to promote airflow through the mattress which helps move heat away from your body.

  3. 3. GelTouch® Foam

    This mattress has four inches of this foam, built to draw heat away from your body but also to give you the super soft feeling that this plush pillow top is made for.  

  4. 4. 900 Series Pocketed Coil

    Individually pocketed spring coils help provide pinpoint support under every part of your body.   They also help to keep down motion disturbance from your sleeping partner.

Conclusion

The Lydia Manor Medium Pillow Top Mattress is a very tall mattress at 16" that has a Medium-Firm comfort feeling and is part of the Beautyrest Silver collection of beds by Simmons.  This bed would be ideal for someone who wants a firmer feeling bed while also getting the benefits of a pillow top construction.  

The bed only has a couple of higher-quality materials built into it, the AirFeel Foam and the Dynamic Response Memory Foam.  These combine with various types of comfort foam for a decent comfort that relieves pressure and supports your back quite well.  Our pressure test results confirm this for most people though it's worth noting that this bed is not recommended for people with larger-sized who sleep on their sides.

While this bed did perform quite well during our pressure-testing I would only really recommend it to someone who prefers a bit firmer bed.  The foams used in the pillowtop portion of the bed are of a firmer feel and would not appeal to everyone.
