How to Buy a Simmons Beautyrest Black

Lie down on the Simmons Beautyrest Black mattress you wish to evaluate. Position yourself on your back, and do not use a pillow. Have someone look at you from the side and determine whether your position is the same as your posture when you stand straight. If so, you have the proper coil density.

Move into your natural sleeping position and remain there for about five minutes. This will test the pressure relief ability of the bed. If you can stay in the same position for that period of time, then the pressure relief is appropriate and you have found your Simmons Beautyrest Black.

Select the size of your Simmons Beautyrest Black. The rule of thumb for selecting a bed size is to buy the biggest bed that your wallet and room can fit. This way the bed can grow with you over time.

Choose a box spring. There are different types of box springs you can get with a Simmons Beautyrest Black -- regular, low-profile and split. Regular is the standard wood and steel box spring, low-profile is built in the same manner as regular, but lower to the ground, and split is made of two smaller box springs that are put together to create a normal size box spring.

Stick to the price point you can afford, and find a retailer that offers the size and model of Simmons Beautyrest Black for the lowest cost.
