Simmons Beautyrest Black Calista Extra Firm Mattress Review

The Simmons Beautyrest Black Calista Extra Firm mattress review is broken up into two parts:

1. A comfort review from a Sleep City sleep expert.

2. A detailed interior breakdown which will explain where each component is located in the mattress and what each component does for your body.

Touching the top of the mattress the fabric feels velvety soft and it has an intricate design. Sitting on the edge of the Calista mattress I am not sinking in very much at all. It feels very firm and sturdy. I can tell the edge support is very sturdy too.

Laying on my back this mattress feels rock hard. It almost feels like laying on a plush carpet floor. In less then a minute my body adjusts to the mattress and I feel the comfort layer of the mattress conforming to my body. I also notice that my body alignment is even when I am laying down on this mattress . Even body alignment is when your head, shoulders, spine, hips, knees and ankles are in line with each other. Having even body alignment while asleep is important for reducing back and joint pain. If you are a back sleeper and you know you like a very firm mattress then the Calista Extra Firm Mattress would be a good choice.

When I rotate to my side I can tell instantly this mattress is too firm and would not be a good choice for most side sleepers. There are large gaps in between my body and the mattress creating uncomfortable pressure points. If you are a side sleeper and you know you like an extra firm mattress then this wouldn’t be a bad choice but for most side sleepers I would suggest something softer.

On my stomach, again it feels very firm. Generally I would suggest a firmer mattress for stomach sleepers. When you sleep on you stomach most of your weight drops to your mid section putting pressure on your spine. In order to ease that tension you need a firmer mattress so your stomach doesn’t sink creating more tension.

Overall this is a very firm, dense mattress. On our 10 point comfort scale (1 being the firmest and 10 being the softest) we have this mattress rated as a 2. This mattress is one of the firmest mattresses you will find in the Simmons Beautyrest lines. I would suggest this mattress mainly to back sleepers and stomach sleepers who know they like a very firm, dense mattress.

Next, the SurfaceCool Plus Fiber is designed to add comfort at the surface of the mattress and keep you cool and comfortable. These fibers are made of Tencel fibers and are vertically oriented for maximum breathability. Tencel is a natural fiber that is derived from wood pulp, and is designed to dissipate body heat so you can sleep comfortably thru the night.

Next is 3/4″ of Gel Touch Memory Foam. This uniquely soft gel foam conforms and contours the curvatures of you body providing soothing comfort and support to this extra firm mattress.

After the Gel Touch Memory Foam is 1″ of Comfort Foam. Comfort Foam adds firm yet soft cushioning support to this mattress.

Beneath the Gel touch Memory Foam is 1″ of Energy Foam. This foam adds extra contouring to this mattress for energizing comfort and support.

Surrounding the entire mattress is ventilated AirCool Beautyedge foam. This pin hole ventilated foam promotes airflow throughout the mattress and offers additional support on the edge of the mattress, preventing you from sliding or rolling out of bed.

One of our sleep experts will be happy to answer your questions and help you find the mattress of your dreams.
