The Beautyrest Harmony Lux is a mid-range hybrid mattress. It has a quilted top and layers of polyfoam and memory foam in its comfort layers, while two kinds of pocket coils make up its support layer. The manufacturer says that the sleep surface is made with up to 60 plastic bottles diverted from the ocean.
This mattress has a medium firmness, making it well-suited to average-sized to lighter back and stomach sleepers as well as average-sized to heavier side sleepers. Lighter side sleepers may find it too firm, while heavier stomach and back sleepers may find it too plush. With a moderately bouncy and responsive feel, this mattress makes it easy to shift sleeping positions. You sink fairly deep into this mattress, and it contours your body closely, so you feel cushioned and tightly hugged.

The Beautyrest Harmony Lux isn't a durable mattress. None of the foam layers is dense enough to be considered good-quality. As a result, the mattress will begin to sag and lose its shape faster than models made with better-quality foam.

None of the foam used is good quality, which can cause indentations and sagging.

The Beautyrest Harmony Lux offers good cooling performance. It dissipates more heat at the beginning of the night, keeping you cool while you fall asleep. While it collects a bit more heat throughout the night, it's not enough to overheat you, even if you sleep hot. That said, if cooling is a top priority for you, whether you persistently sleep very hot or live in a hot climate, you may want something more cooling.
Superb edge support.

The Beautyrest Harmony Lux has impressive motion dissipation. You only feel larger movements, like when your partner changes sleeping positions or a pet jumps on the bed, but mainly nearby and less so throughout the rest of the mattress. The motion also dissipates quickly, so it's not likely to bother or wake you up.
Superb edge support.
Great motion isolation and dissipation.

The Beautyrest Harmony Lux delivers fantastic responsiveness. It bounces back extremely fast after being compressed, adapting to your movements so it's easy to shift sleeping positions. You don't feel constrained or 'stuck in place.'
Fantastic responsiveness makes it easy to switch sleeping positions.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
Within the Harmony Lux line, you find two categories: Anchor Island and Coral Island. According to the manufacturer, Coral Island is the more premium line, featuring more advanced pressure relief and proprietary cooling technologies. The Coral Island collection includes: the Coral Island Plush Pillow Top, Coral Island Medium, Coral Island Firm Pillow Top, and Coral Island Extra Firm. The Anchor Island collection includes: the Anchor Island Plush Pillow Top, Anchor Island Plush, Anchor Island Medium Pillow Top, and Anchor Island Firm. We tested the Queen-sized Beautyrest Harmony Lux Anchor Island Medium Pillow Top, and our results are only valid for that variant. Unusually, this mattress didn't come with an informational tag, and we're unable to say whether another unit would include one, as it may have been torn off during shipping or not included as a manufacturer error.
If you come across another variant or have experience with a variant that performs differently, let us know in the comments.

Beautyrest is part of Serta Simmons Bedding, North America's largest mattress manufacturer and distributor. In addition to Beautyrest, Serta, Tuft & Needle, and BeautySleep are their brands. Beautyrest offers mattresses at a wide range of prices and firmness levels.
The Beautyrest Harmony Lux delivers an excellent overall performance, even outperforming more expensive options like the Beautyrest Black. Compared to other hybrids, like the Beautyrest Silver BRS900, you feel like you're sleeping more 'in' than on top of the mattress. You sink quite far into the mattress while it contours your body closely, so you feel cradled and pretty tightly hugged. While it can't compete with the Casper Snow (Canadian Version) when it comes to cooling, it keeps you quite cool while you're falling asleep and keeps even hot sleepers from overheating throughout the night.

The Boring Mattress and the Beautyrest Harmony Lux seem well matched, but the Boring has an advantage that makes it the better choice for most users. That advantage is in the density of the foam, which correlates to quality and durability. The Beautyrest uses low-quality foam throughout the mattress, making premature indentations and sagging very likely. Conversely, the Boring uses good and high-quality foam, which extends the life of the mattress overall. So, if durability is a consideration, the Boring is the better choice. If you're not concerned about longevity, either mattress should suit you. The Boring has a slight advantage in cooling and motion dissipation, while the Beautyrest has better edge support, but there's not a huge difference in any of these areas.
The Beautyrest Harmony Lux is a better mattress than the Nectar Classic Hybrid for most people. It's a much more responsive option, with better edge support. Shifting sleeping positions, getting in and out of bed, and sleeping near the edge of the mattress are all easier and more comfortable on the Beautyrest. It's also slightly more cooling, though they are more evenly matched in this regard—the Beautyrest keeps you cooler as you fall asleep, but the Nectar transfers more heat throughout the rest of the night. The Nectar also offers better motion isolation, which is important if you or your sleeping partner toss and turn.
