FAQs

Beautyrest Black

Can you flip a Beautyrest black?

Flipping a Beautyrest mattress is not recommended. Its advanced design means that sleeping on the wrong side would provide less support.

Is Beautyrest Black a firm mattress?

The Beautyrest Black mattress has three layers of polyfoam on top of a layer of gel-infused memory foam, resulting in a medium firmness, or a 6 on the firmness scale. It is easy to move around on this mattress.

Is Beautyrest black good for heavy people?

Firm models of the Beautyrest mattress, falling around a 6-7 on the firmness scale, are best suited for heavier combination sleepers over 230 pounds, as well as back and stomach sleepers.

Live and Sleep Classic

Does the L&S mattress resist dust mites?

L&S mattresses are made from high-density foam which doesn't provide a conducive environment for dust mites to thrive. However, it's recommended to use a mattress protector to increase defense against dust mites and prolong the life of the mattress.

Where is the L&S mattress made?

L&S mattresses are designed and crafted in the USA, but they are manufactured overseas.

Will my mattress from Live and Sleep fit my current bedroom furniture?

Yes, as long as you purchase the same size bed you currently sleep on. The Live and Sleep mattress will fit in all standard-size bedroom furniture. However, it's important to note that the purchase of a new Live & Sleep Mattress does not include a box spring or foundation.
