From Matt -
I am trying to shop for a new Simmons Beautyrest Classic queen bed, and based on what I have seen it will be plush, but though I haven’t seen one in person the plush-firm might be right. It seems like every retailer has their own specific version of the Beautyrest Classic. I even called Simmons and they said I have to get the information from the retailers!! What is with this? Your comparison chart is the only think like it I have been able to find, but even it does not include names I have seen at other stores and websites. So far I have seen these names: Bayval, Barton, Baron, Fernhook, Gabarone, Bamako
The Bamako is the only one on your chart, and I have note even seen the other ones are the chart elsewhere. Your prices look great on certain versions of these, but if I am going to buy online I need to have something to compare it to that I have actually tried out. Can someone help me sort this mess out?
Hi Matt,
As you are finding out, Simmons will create different names for different retailers for the same mattress. They call this “protecting the retaile,” but all it is designed to do is make you frustrated to the point of shopping with the first retailer you find. From the list of names you have below, we carry both the Bamako as well as the Gabarone by the same name. The Baron is the same as the Gabarone, but that was the only name I was able to cross-reference of those listed in your email. The best way for us to match what you tried locally to our site is by knowing the coil count, the mattress height without the box spring, as well as if the mattress uses any visco foam or latex. If you are able to obtain this info on the names that are still up in the air, I can use that to match them up as well. I hope this email helped answer your questions, but if you would like to speak with a member of our sales team, please feel free to give us a call at 1 800 455 1052.
