I’ll go over my personal experience with the Beautyrest Harmony Lux mattress, including its firmness, feel, motion isolation, and more.

»

With today’s mattresses, it seems like everyone is trying to break the mold. Many brands promise that they have figured out the secret to getting the best sleep possible. But what if you want something a bit more traditional and old-school?

Well, Beautyrest has been kicking it old-school for more than a century. But they’ve also added some modern touches to their time-tested beds by developing proprietary materials to promote cooling and overall comfort. The Beautyrest Harmony Lux mattress is one of their newest innerspring mattresses and there’s a lot going on inside.

Is the Beautyrest Harmony Lux mattress right for you? Read on for our unbiased Beautyrest Harmony Lux mattress review.

Beautyrest Harmony Lux Mattress Overview

You have many options when shopping for a Beautyrest Harmony Lux mattress. First off, you can choose between the Carbon Series and Diamond Series mattress – they are both designed to promote cooling, but the Diamond Series is just a bit more advanced. This does add a few hundred dollars in price.

You can also choose whether you want a pillow top or not. Beyond that, you select which firmness you think will work best for you. To get more specific, we reviewed the Beautyrest Harmony Lux mattress with the Medium pillow top. While we enjoyed our experience with this high-end mattress, it will be a better fit for certain types of sleepers.

Beautyrest Harmony Lux Firmness And Feel

Firmness and feel are two of the first things you should think about when picking a mattress. Let’s see just how firm the Beautyrest Harmony Lux is and what it feels like to sleep on it.

How Firm Is The Beautyrest Harmony Lux?

The Beautyrest Harmony Lux has a firmness of about 7/10, just firmer-than-average. Remember this is the Carbon series model with a pillow top and medium firmness. The pillow top is quite plush, but the layers beneath that get progressively firmer. As we will discuss below, the mattress exhibits a great balance of comfort and support.

The Beautyrest Harmony Lux is available in several different firmness levels. Here’s a quick overview of who may like each option:

Choose Plush If:	Choose Medium If:	Choose Extra Firm If:
You’re a side sleeper who needs additional pressure relief	You are an average back or side sleeper	You are a stomach sleeper

Sleeping On The Beautyrest Harmony Lux

Back sleeping on the Harmony Lux mattress is extremely comfortable – the pillow top lets our hips sink in, and provides a good deal of contouring. Also, the supportive coils hold up our bodies and give us the right spinal support.

Side sleeping, the Beautyrest Harmony Lux is also a great match and we can feel little pressure around our shoulders and hips. Again, this is the Medium pillow top model, so if you need even more pressure relief, try the Plush pillow top model.

Stomach sleeping, the mattress is too soft for us, and we can feel our hips dipping down into the mattress. We would recommend trying the Harmony Lux model without the pillow top to ensure you get enough support under your hips.

What Does The Beautyrest Harmony Lux Feel Like?

The Beautyrest Harmony Lux has a feeling similar to what you would find in a high-end hotel. You get the bounce of coils and then some of the soft plushness of the pillow top. While there is memory foam in the top layers, the Beautyrest is a more responsive mattress and makes it easy to move around during the night.

Average-Weight Sleepers: 130 lbs–230 lbs

Average-weight back sleepers should get the balance of comfort and support required for back sleeping. If they want more support, they can go without the pillow top.

Side sleeping, the majority of average-weight people should feel little pressure around their shoulders and hips. Again, if they need even more pressure relief, they can opt for the Plush pillow top model.

Stomach sleeping, average-weight people won’t get the proper amount of support. They will want to go with the Harmony Lux model without the pillow top.

Heavyweight Sleepers: Over 230 lbs

The Beautyrest Harmony Lux is a deluxe mattress (no pun intended) and should be a supportive option for many heavy people. However, if you weigh over 300 lbs, you might want to look at our best mattresses for heavy people.

Side sleeping, a good number of heavy people should get the pressure relief they need from the Harmony Lux. If they need more pressure relief, they can go with the Plush model or find a mattress made just for someone their size.

Stomach sleeping, heavy people will want to either choose the non-pillow top model or find a firmer more supportive mattress altogether. This is especially true if they weigh over 300 lbs.

Lightweight Sleepers: Under 130 lbs

Lightweight sleepers should like the Beautyrest Harmony Lux when they are back and side sleeping. However, the pillow top model might still be too soft for them.

Beautyrest Harmony Lux Carbon Mattress

The Beautyrest Harmony Lux is a high-end innerspring mattress that offers great support, comfort, and cooling. It’s a particularly good option for side and back sleepers.

Beautyrest Harmony Lux Mattress Performance

There are plenty of other things you should consider when buying a mattress; this includes motion transfer, edge support, and cooling. We tested the Beautyrest Lux mattress for all these features – let’s see how it did!

Sleeping Hot Or Cold

The Beautyrest Harmony Lux mattress is all about cooling, and we can report it sleeps extremely cool. The top cover is indeed cool to the touch and we can feel the cooling properties of the RightTemp foam. Also, the coils are promoting airflow through the mattress, keeping the Beautyrest from trapping too much heat.

Motion Transfer

The Beautyrest Harmony Lux does not handle motion transfer extremely well. While it does feature memory foam it is, overall, a more responsive mattress. It does not cut down on motion transfer too much so, if you sleep with a partner, you could feel them moving around on their side of the mattress. And vice versa!

Edge Support

The Beautyrest Harmony Lux mattress has excellent edge support, and we feel very secure sitting and lying down near the edge. This is not surprising given that the coils are firmer toward the edge of the mattress, which is meant to fortify the edge. You and your partner should be able to sleep toward the edge of the Harmony Lux without feeling like you are going to roll off!

Durability

The Harmony Lux is a whole lot of mattress and contains multiple layers of high-density foam as well as high-grade coils. Just looking at its materials and construction, we estimate the Beautyrest will last for at least 10 years.

Off-gassing

The Harmony Lux comes delivered in its completely expanded state. Unlike some online mattresses, it will not come compressed in a cardboard box. Because of this, you won’t notice the normal off-gassing you would experience with a standard bed in a box mattress.

Noise

When we roll around on the Beautyrest Harmony Lux mattress, we do not hear any major squeaking or creaking from the coils. We will note that these coils might start to squeak after many years of use.

Sex

The Beautyrest Harmony Lux should be a good mattress for sex because it is bouncy and responsive. This means it should be easy for sexual partners to move around on the mattress.

Warranty Info

The Beautyrest Harmony Lux comes with a 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty.

How Does The Beautyrest Harmony Lux Compare To Other Mattresses?

Are you ready to do some comparison shopping? It’s always a good idea to see how a mattress will stack up against its competitors – let’s do that right now!

Beautyrest Vs Tempur-Pedic

Beautyrest and Tempur-Pedic are two giants of the mattress industry. While both have found great success in the stores, they have also moved into the ever-growing bed in a box market. Let’s see how the Beautyrest Harmony Lux mattress compares to the Tempur-Cloud mattress.

First off, there are some clear construction differences between these two mattresses. The Beautyrest Harmony Lux is an innerspring pillow-top mattress, and the Tempur-Cloud is an all-foam mattress. While both mattresses feature memory foam, their constructions couldn’t be more different.

Their constructions give the mattresses very different feels as well. The Beautyrest Harmony Lux has a classic innerspring mattress feel with some pillow top plushness on top. The Tempur-Cloud exhibits that slow-moving feel you expect from memory foam. It has no real bounce, and the Beautyrest Black is quite bouncy.

Speaking of price, the Beautyrest is the more affordable mattress and costs about $500 less for a Queen-size. If you go for the Harmony Lux model without the pillow top, it costs about $900 less than the Tempur-Cloud.

Based on these differences, the two mattresses will be a better fit for different people. The Beautyrest will be a good match if you prefer the feel of the traditional innerspring mattress and if you need more support. The Tempur-Cloud will be better if you are a side sleeper or prefer a slow-moving memory foam feel.
