Our verdict
The Simmons Escape No. 2 is the medium 15-inch entry in Simmons' Escape collection, the first flagship line to carry the Simmons name itself in years. It pairs OptiFit Coil Technology with nested Pocketed Coil Technology for total-body support, and the comfort stack uses natural materials — cashmere, cotton, TENCEL fibers and responsive latex foam — finished with hand tufting. Simmons lists it at $5,599. Our score reflects a published specifications and research evaluation of the current model — construction, materials, published firmness, pricing and how it stacks up against the rest of the Escape range — rather than a completed lab protocol on this exact unit.

Sleep Position Analysis
Side Sleepers
At 6/10 firmness, the Simmons Escape No. 2 may be worth trying for side sleepers who prefer a medium surface. Body shape, shoulder width and individual preferences can change how the same mattress feels.
Back Sleepers
The Simmons Escape No. 2's listed firmness of 6/10 may suit back sleepers seeking a medium-to-firm surface. Spinal alignment and hip support have not been objectively measured for this model unless documented test results appear above.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers generally need sufficient hip support. At the published firmness of 6/10, the Simmons Escape No. 2 may suit some stomach sleepers, but a medium pillow-top model may be too soft for others. We have not recorded instrumented hip-sinkage or alignment measurements for this model.
Combination Sleepers
The Simmons Escape No. 2's innerspring construction provides responsive support that may make changing positions easier than with some slow-response all-foam designs. Pocketed coils can add responsiveness, but ease of movement varies with the comfort layers and the sleeper.
Which Simmons Escape No. 2 Model Should You Buy?
Simmons' Escape collection is the first flagship line to carry the Simmons name itself in years — 11 numbered models from extra firm to medium pillow top, all hand-tufted and built on OptiFit and nested Pocketed Coil technology with natural materials. We reviewed the three models that cover the range: the No. 2 medium, the No. 6 plush pillow top and the No. 11 flagship.

Read the full Simmons Escape No. 2 vs. Beautyrest Black comparison →Where the Simmons Escape No. 2 sits in the Simmons lineup
The Escape collection is Simmons' return to a namesake flagship line: hand-tufted, natural-materials innersprings sold through simmons.com and select retailers. The Simmons Escape No. 2 is listed at $5,599, which places it firmly in the ultra-luxury tier — the competitive set is Hästens, Vispring and Kluft, not bed-in-a-box brands.
Every Escape model shares the same foundation: OptiFit Coil Technology for primary support, nested Pocketed Coil Technology for conformability, and comfort layers of cashmere, cotton, TENCEL fibers and responsive latex. What changes as you move up the numbers is the surface feel and the depth of the upholstery.
Construction and what the feel is like
The Simmons Escape No. 2 has a medium, buoyant surface. Because the comfort comes from latex and natural fibers rather than memory foam, the feel is buoyant and breathable — you sleep on the bed rather than in it, and there is none of the slow-sink warmth of a foam top.
Back and combination sleepers, hot sleepers who dislike foam, and anyone replacing a traditional luxury innerspring get the most out of this feel. The dual coil systems keep support consistent edge to edge, and hand tufting locks the comfort layers in place, which is what historically separates a long-lived luxury innerspring from a glued budget build.
Trial, warranty and how we scored it
Escape mattresses carry a 10-year limited warranty. Trial terms depend on the retailer — simmons.com and retail partners set their own return windows, so confirm the trial at checkout rather than assuming a DTC-style policy.
It is not the output of a completed lab protocol on this individual unit, and we say so rather than implying testing we have not done.

Construction & Materials Review
We document the mattress's published layer construction, materials, densities and cover fabrics from manufacturer specifications and supporting documentation.
Specification & Certification Verification
We check published specifications, certifications and material claims against the manufacturer's own documentation, and flag anything we cannot confirm.
