Expert Review by Jed
In a day and age when spec trimming and cost cutting is becoming more and more the standard, the Queen size Beautyrest Silver Lydia Manor III Plush Pillow Top stands out as proof that some companies still invest in significantly improving their products. This mattress boasts nearly across the board upgrades from the previous Lydia Manor II model. With a soft yet supportive Comfort Scale rating of 7, I recommend this mattress for side sleepers searching for great pressure relief and for back sleepers who prefer a more enveloping feel.

Improvements from the prior Lydia Manor II edition start right in the quilt with the DualCool Technology Fiber, a super soft fiber enhanced with silver that helps move heat away from the body and prevents mildew, mold, and odor-causing bacteria so you can sleep fresh and comfortably. Two layers of GelTouch Foam, which is a very soft gel foam, have been added to provide you with numerous benefits. The gel helps reduce tossing and turning, provides comfort to ease pressure points, and offers exceptional conformability. One of the top updates is the expertly engineered BackCare Support layer. With hundreds of micro coils located in the center third of the mattress, comfort and back support have been enhanced in addition to long term resistance to sagging. A layer of premium AirCool Gel Memory Foam offers exceptional pressure relief to help improve blood circulation as well as promote deeper REM sleep. Support to the back is provided via the Beautyrest Pocketed Coil System, a high carbon steel coil system that is both supportive and forgiving. Its ability to reduce transfer of motion when movement occurs is an excellent feature for couples, and it is also adjustable base compatible. A 4-inch foam-encased, ventilated edge support system-- updated from 3 inches in the previous Lydia Manor II edition-- allows you to rest comfortably from near the edges, and the ventilated design promotes better airflow.

To sum up, Beautyrest did a fantastic job designing this mattress. Just about everything that could have been updated from the previous Lydia Manor II model has been improved. The Queen size Beautyrest Silver Lydia Manor III Plush Pillow Top is a wonderful mattress for couples who enjoy a soft yet supportive feel.
