Simmons Beautyrest Black Roslyn Mattress Review

Hello again! Thanks for all the info and advice. We ended up with the Simmons Beautyrest Black Viola (I think) instead of the Roslyn. So far, so good. We've had it just under a week. No pillow top on this version, but firm enough and still comfy, as you describe. Hopefully, we won't have any problems with the thing. We bought at Sleep Train and they matched Macy's price, less 5% as is their price matching policy. Ended up with about $800 off SleepTrain's price. Still expensive, but we're hoping it will last for a long time. Definitely shop around, look for sales, and haggle! I'm not much for the strong-arm negotiating tactics, but this was easy. I may have even been able to get a lower price, but I felt like I made the salesman do plenty of work--was at the store 3 times, with the kids once, and spent a lot of time testing the mattresses and asking questions. I feel like I got a pretty fair deal...as long as the mattress holds up!

I am considering this bed and liked your review. Are you still happy with it? I'm deciding between this one and the Pembroke. What kind of store were you able to haggle on the price with? Macy's sells this bed and I can't imagine them doing that for me. Can you help?

ANEWDAY- Your mattress and our mattress (Roslyn) must have been manufactured on the same day. We have the same problem after one hour of laying in the bed -- on the day it was delivered. Fighting like hell to send it back. My husband is only 160 lbs. He even went back to the store we bought it at the next day and tried out the sample bed to make sure he wasn't crazy. The mattresses are defective.

Guess you were the lucky one! I also purchased the Roslyn by Simmons. After only 3 month my husbands side of the bed had a dip that he had to roll out of to get out of the bed! Good luck trying to get Simmons to do anything about it also!! The store I purchased the Simmons mattress from told me that a Simmons Rep had to come out to measure the dip. Simmons requires a 1 1/2 dip. The problem was that it was not a dip in the pillowtop it was a defect in the springs, you had to lay on the bed to FEEL the sink hole. LONG story short Simmons as a Class action law suit against them and if you do your homework on the website you will see that they do not back thier product.......They do not have nor care about customer service!!! I did get my money back from the company that I purchased it from, but only after I assured them that I was going to become a FREE salesperson for their company.....I was going to show up EVERY day to help customers with their selection for a mattress and who better than I who owed a SIMMONS!! They gave me my money back as they did not want me telling anyone how SIMMONS DOES NOT BACK THEIR PRODUCT NOR CARE WITH THERE CUSTOMERS!!!!

I'm pretty sure they don't even have $5000 mattresses around here (-: Really, I want to go check now. Thanks for the great review. That's good to let folks know they can negotiate on mattress prices.

Great review. And people wonder how they do the "1 cent" box spring sale. Rudi
