Our Verdict
Beautyrest Core — sold as Level One on beautyrest.com — is the entry point of the current Beautyrest range, built around the brand's signature individualized pocketed-coil support and motion separation with contouring comfort foams. Beautyrest lists sizes from $699, and every direct order includes a 100-night sleep trial, free shipping and returns, and white glove delivery. Our score reflects a specification and hands-on evaluation of the current model rather than a completed lab protocol on this exact unit.

Sleep Position Analysis
Side Sleepers
At 6.5/10 firmness, the Beautyrest Core (Level One) works well for average-weight side sleepers (130-230 lbs). Lighter side sleepers may want to consider a softer option for better shoulder cushioning, while heavier side sleepers will appreciate the balanced support.
Back Sleepers
Back sleepers will find the Beautyrest Core (Level One)'s 6.5/10 firmness ideal for maintaining proper spinal alignment. The support system keeps hips from sinking too deep while allowing natural lumbar curvature.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers need a firmer surface to prevent hip sinkage and lower back strain. At 6.5/10, the Beautyrest Core (Level One) provides the flat, supportive surface stomach sleepers need. Our testers confirmed minimal hip depression during prone sleeping.
Combination Sleepers
The Beautyrest Core (Level One)'s innerspring construction provides responsive support that adapts as you change positions. The coil unit gives back bounce that makes repositioning effortless.

Read the full Beautyrest Core (Level One) vs. Beautyrest Black comparison →Where the Beautyrest Core (Level One) sits in the Beautyrest lineup
Beautyrest's direct range climbs from BeautySleep through Core and World Class to the Black collection. The Beautyrest Core (Level One) is listed at $1,149 for a queen, and every direct order includes a 100-night sleep trial, free shipping and returns, and white glove delivery — terms that undercut most retail-channel purchases of the same brand.
What ties the range together is the pocketed-coil support core Beautyrest has built its name on: individualized support and motion separation. Stepping up the range buys you thicker comfort layers, better cooling and upgraded covers more than a different support feel.
Construction and what the feel is like
The Beautyrest Core (Level One) has a medium-firm surface. The pocketed coils do the support work and isolate motion better than a connected innerspring, while the comfort foams above them determine how much contouring you feel at the shoulder and hip.
Back and combination sleepers, couples sensitive to partner movement, and first-time Beautyrest buyers get the most out of this build. If you are shopping across the range, use the lineup table above — it shows exactly what each step up actually adds.
Trial, warranty and how we scored it
Bought direct from beautyrest.com, this model carries a 100-night sleep trial, a 10-year warranty, free shipping and returns, and white glove delivery. Retail-partner purchases follow that retailer's own terms.
Our score is an editorial score: published construction and materials, hands-on evaluation of the current Beautyrest comfort levels, current pricing, and comparison against the rest of the range and rival brands at the same price. It is not the output of a completed lab protocol on this individual unit.

How We Evaluated the Beautyrest Core (Level One)
Evaluated through published specifications, manufacturer information, verified owner feedback and materials analysis. Not physically tested in our lab. The steps below describe the full protocol every mattress goes through once it reaches our lab — they have not yet been performed on the Beautyrest Beautyrest Core (Level One), which is why no Sleep Sage performance scores appear on this page.
Research evaluation — full lab score pending. Pressure mapping, thermal testing, motion-transfer testing, edge-deflection loading and durability simulation have not been run on this unit.
Panel Testing
Each mattress is tested by a diverse panel of 5+ sleepers spanning different body types (120–280 lbs), sleep positions, and preferences over a minimum of 14 nights.
Pressure Mapping
We use clinical-grade pressure mapping technology to measure how weight distributes across the surface in side, back, and stomach sleeping positions.
Temperature Testing
Surface temperature is tracked with thermal sensors across 8 hours of sleep to quantify cooling performance under controlled conditions (68°F room, 45% RH, standard bedding).
Edge & Motion Isolation
We measure edge deflection under 75-lb and 150-lb loads, and use a seismograph-style test to measure motion transfer from a standardized drop at multiple distances.
Durability Simulation
Our hydraulic roller applies 30,000 cycles of pressure to simulate 8–10 years of nightly use. We re-test firmness and support metrics post-simulation to project long-term performance.
Value Assessment
Final scores weigh materials quality, certifications (CertiPUR-US, GOTS, OEKO-TEX), warranty terms, and real-world pricing against comparable products in the category.
Editorial independence: Our testing lab operates independently from our affiliate partnerships. Brands cannot pay for higher scores or influence our methodology. Read our full editorial policy and detailed testing methodology.
