The King size Simmons Beautyrest Silver Lydia Manor III Extra Firm takes the Lydia Manor II, an already fantastic mattress, and makes it an even better option for couples. With updates made to comfort, cooling, and support, it is a much better model overall. Scoring a 2.5 on our Comfort Scale, it is extremely firm and is certainly not for everyone, but if you sleep on your back or stomach and enjoy extremely firm support, then you can’t go wrong with this mattress. Side sleepers will most likely want to search for a softer model, such as the Lydia Manor III Plush or Plush Pillow Top, to avoid waking up with achy limbs.

The first improvement from the previous version is the addition of DualCool Technology Fiber. This super soft material is enhanced using silver that helps move heat away from the body and prevents mildew, mold, and odor-causing bacteria to promote cool, clean sleep. For a bit of initial padding, a layer of AirCool Foam is added, and this foam uses an open cell design to help promote good air flow. To ensure you enjoy an extremely firm overall feel, two layers of Comfort Foam have also been incorporated. The BackCare Support System is the most notable improvement. This is one of the top systems available today when it comes to enhancing comfort and support to the center third of the mattress, so you can expect better resistance against sagging and more support to the critical lower back area. A full layer of AirCool Gel Memory Foam uses the unique properties of gel to offer you a comfortable, cool sleeping space as well as essential pressure point relief. This aids in promoting better blood circulation and reducing tossing and turning. The adjustable base compatible Beautyrest Pocketed Coil System provides conforming support with less transfer of motion than tied systems, which makes it highly beneficial for couples sharing a mattress. You can comfortably sleep near the edges thanks to the beefed up 4-inch foam-encased, ventilated edge system.

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