A soft, quality foam located at the surface, with an open cell structure that helps provide airflow, performance and durability for the life of the mattress.

4. SurfaceTouch Gel Memory Foam

SurfaceTouch Gel Memory Foam is sewn into the quilt to work directly under the sleep surface to quickly unlock advanced pressure point relief from the moment you lie down.

5. AirCool Memory Foam

This proprietary memory foam conforms to your body, provides pressure point relief, and freedom of movement.

6. Alpaca, Cashmere and Silk Comfort Layer

This layer is 100% natural and will help wick away moisture and enhance the cooling features within the mattress.

Beautyrest Black K-Class FAQs

What is new to the Beautyrest Black K-Class Ultra Plush Pillowtop mattress?

The new models use SurfaceTouch Gel Memory Foam as well as Alpaca, Cashmere, and Silk Fibers in the comfort layers.
Do I need to flip my Beautyrest Black K-Class mattress?
No, Beautyrest Black beds are built from the ground up and are not designed to be flipped. This has become the new standard for mattresses today. It often means more comfort materials can be packed in.

Conclusion

The Black K-Class Ultra Plush Pillowtop mattress is a premium, soft-feeling mattress. This mattress is really only intended for you if you happen to prefer a softer mattress, and like to sink into the top of the bed. We carry another option if you like a firm mattress.

This model is the top of the line for Beautyrest Black, which is the overall top-of-the-line brand for Simmons Beautyrest mattresses. It's loaded with features including its best-pocketed coil design, its best cooling materials (BlackICE with Plant-Based Cooling Technology), and a layer of nano coils. It also has generous layers of memory foams and gel memory foams that bring the total height to 16".

This is a very tall mattress, so make sure you are ready for that. You should consider getting a low profile (short) foundation (4.5") rather than a regular size (9") to keep the overall height manageable.

It is expensive so it's really aimed only at people with that kind of money to spend on a mattress. If you don't want to spend so much, consider their other lower-priced models. For those looking to find the softest, most premium mattress, this is the one for you.
