We compared this Beautyrest Black series 3 in a medium firmness to several competitors products, and kept coming back to this mattress. It's a perfect middle of the road where its not too firm, and not too soft. It still has the innerspring coils, and about a 3" pillow-top but also isn't what they classify as one of the new hybrid models. I sleep on the warm side, and so far I don't wake up overheating in the middle of the night. So the combined composition of materials used seem to provide enough ventilation to move the heat away from My body. The remainder of the test will come down the road in several months, after the mattress breaks in. But for stepping into a "new" mattress in the mid-Summer months, it has been a good overall purchase to date. I would recommend You considering taking a look at the Beautyrest Black models, if Your in the market for a quality mattress for more than just a couple of years.

It was a little harder than what the mattress felt in the showroom

Maybe a little too soft after 6 months

The new beauty rest mattress has been the most comfortable mattress that I ever had..

Haven't used yet but the quality looks great. I really like the looks of the bed
