I've been reading the reviews here,and no one seems to say anything good about Simmons, however all the complaints seem to be on low end models. I have a SF that is only four years old and is killing my back. I found a returned Willow Brook still in the bag for only $1400.00, the only thing wrong withit is they scraped it on the truck and made a black mark on the side, so the customer refused it. So far this bed feels better than anything I have ever slept on, especially Temper pedic which I feel is just one big sink hole.
Also Simmons did upgrade ther coils this year on the exceptionals. The coils are now twisted like cableing for greater strength.

We purchased our top-of-the line Beautyrest mattress last February. It was our Valentine's Day gift to each other.

After visiting (2) different Sleepy's mattress stores, the model we selected was the Simmons' world-class "Druscilla". (In hindsight, we should have listened to the salesman at the second store. He told us, "If you buy this mattress, you'll be back here in a year, buying another mattress". We ignored his comment because his overall attitude was awful and we felt that he was trying to make us spend more money on a different brand.)

The king-size set's price ended up being around $1600. It was Simmon's BEST model and came with their highest number rating for their 'do-not-disturb' index.

The first few months, the mattress was a dream. But like so many other unfortunate Simmons owners, the dream was short-lived. You guessed it.....The craters developed and became increasingly worse, forcing you to remain in the same spot on the mattress. Both of us are side-sleepers and I truly believe that the coil support within in the mattress has weakened but one cannot see it because of the pillowtop.

6 months after owning this mattress, I began experiencing muscle spasms in my lower back and shoulders and have been visiting a Chiropractor ever since. I never considered it could be on account of this cratered torture device. A month ago, I went on vacation and during my week's stay sleeping in a different bed, all of my neck, shoulder and back pains went away. The first morning after being back home and sleeping in our bed brought the return of my nagging body aches. Within 30 minutes of laying in bed, my hip aches so bad that I have to turn over. This constant flipping to aleviate hip discomfort has prevented me from feeling like I've had a restful night of sleep, in ages.

If you are reading this review, PLEASE take my experience into consideration if you are contemplating purchasing a Simmons Beautyrest, no-flip, pillow-top mattress. You WILL regret your purchase and will find yourself in the market for a replacement.

After extensive research regarding mattresses, I have just placed an order with a company called, "Flobeds". I can't wait for our new latex bed to arrive.

Luckily, bulk trash pick-up in my neighborhood isn't far off and you can be assured that our Beautyrest is going to be curbside.

This was our first foray into pillowtops coming out of a 17 yr-old Perfect Sleeper set. I loved the soft feel of the pillowtop in the store, and for the first week, it was as fine a sleep experience as I'd ever had. Unfortunately, the P/T showed body indentations of about 1" in the 2nd week (which I personally believe is excessive). Worse, I started having problems in my upper back, which I've never had before. I don't know if this was just an adjustment issue, a problem with a too-soft P/T, or something about the Simmons pocketed coil that my back doesn't like. In light of information I came across later that Simmons' pocketed coils are neither durable nor long lasting, we've made the decision to return the product in favor of S&F. Just for the record, while I think the higher end Latitudes/Exceptionale products are superior to the Beautyrest World Class line, I just can't see paying in excess of $2K for anything but S&F.
