The Full size Simmons Beautyrest Silver Lydia Manor III Extra Firm takes the Lydia Manor II, an already fantastic mattress, and makes it an even more outstanding option for single sleepers. With improvements made to comfort, support, and cooling, it is an overall better mattress. With an extremely firm Comfort Scale rating of 2.5, this mattress may not be suitable for everyone, but if you sleep on your back or stomach and prefer an extremely firm feel, then you can’t go wrong with the Lydia Manor III Extra Firm. If you sleep on your side, you will almost certainly want to search for something softer, such as the Lydia Manor III Plush or Plush Pillow Top, to avoid waking up with achy limbs.

The first update from the previous version is the DualCool Technology Fiber. This is a very soft material enhanced with silver that helps move heat away from the body and prevents mold, mildew, and odor-causing bacteria to promote cool and clean sleep. A layer of AirCool Foam offers some initial padding, and it has an open cell design that helps promote good air flow. Two layers of Comfort Foam have been added to provide you with an extremely firm overall feel. The most noticeable upgrade is the new BackCare Support System. This is one of the best systems on the market today when it comes to enhancing comfort and support to the center third of the mattress, so you can expect to get more lower back support as well as better resistance against sagging. A full layer of AirCool Gel Memory Foam uses the unique properties of gel to provide you with plenty of pressure point relief as well as a comfortably cool sleeping environment. This helps promote better blood circulation and also reduces tossing and turning. The Beautyrest Pocketed Coil System provides conforming support with less motion transfer than tied systems, and it is also adjustable base friendly. If you like to sleep near the edges, it is no problem thanks to the beefed up 4-inch ventilated, foam-encased edge system.

To conclude, if you are a single sleeper looking for a fairly large option with an extra firm feel and you want one of the best values available today, the Full size Beautyrest Silver Lydia Manor III Extra Firm is a great choice. The comfort materials, the coil count, edge support, and quilt have all been updated, resulting in one of the best mattresses in this price range.
