Beautyrest Black Calista Extra Firm – Materials:

This 12.5″ thick mattress takes several layers, seven to be exact, to create this dense and durable bed. Starting with several comfort and contouring layers that provide just enough pressure relief. Along with an ample core foundation of coils surrounded by dense encasement for long term flexible support. Together the materials and construction of this mattress make for a true hybrid that offers an extra-firm feel. Pleasing please anyone needing that extra support and long term support.

Comfort Layer:

• Polyester Quilted Cover with SurfaceCool Fibers
• .75″ GelTouch Comfort Foam
• 1″ Luxury Firm Comfort Foam

The top layers of this mattress feature foams and quilting that provide just enough comfort. The density is still supportive and the enhanced materials allow for cool comfort. Making a slightly plush top that doesn’t get too hot while sleeping throughout the night.

Contour Layer:

• 1″ Energy Foam
• .5″ Micro Diamond Energy Foam

Under the initial comfort foams are the more contouring foams. Again, these slightly more dense foams will provide supportive contour. Letting your body sink in and relieve pressure just enough while maintaining that extra firm feel. the Micro Diamond Energy Foam also helps dissipate heat for pressure relieving memory foam that doesn’t let you get too hot.

Support Layer:

• 1.5″ Energy Foam
• Alternating Advanced Pocketed Coils

The coil system of the Beautyrest Black Calista Extra Firm are triple stranded coils for ultimate support and durability. This paired with the dense base Energy Foam provides the longevity and conforming back support sleepers need. As well as provides just enough movement to easily change sleeping positions on.

Edge Support:

• Ventilated AirCool BeautyEdge Foam Encasement

Around the perimeter of the bed is added edge support. This helps create not only a fully usable sleeping surface but also a more rigid support to use for sitting. The added encasement allows for a consistent feel across the entire surface and better durability for larger sleepers, anyone who sits on the edge and just to make sure you get the most life out of your mattress.

Beautyrest Black Calista Extra Firm – Comfort & Support:

This mattress certainly is for a specific sleeper. The extra firm support and comfort is definitely meant for someone who likes to sleep on their back and stomach. As well as feel more “on” the bed and less cocooning contour and feeling “in” the bed. This mattress is great for someone who is on the heavier side too and wants extra support, especially on the edges.

The consistency and lack of significant give make it a true firm feeling mattress. Falling around an 8 on a firmness scale, with 1 being the softest and 10 the firmest. If you like your mattress on the firmer side and want long term durable support the feel of this bed will certainly appeal to you.

Beautyrest Black Calista Extra Firm – Temperature Regulation:

There are several materials that help keep this mattress from sleeping too warm throughout the night. Starting at the surface of the mattress you get a Polyester Cover that uses SurfaceCool Plus fibers to keep a cool to the touch feel. Under the cover are several comfort layers of foam. All on the firmer side to help you from sinking in too much and trapping heat. But also incorporate the latest technology to pull heat away from the body and wick away moisture. Making for foams that are less heat retaining.

With any hybrid always comes the advantage of a coil system that readily lets any built up heat easily dissipate. Making for a design that rarely sleeps too warm because of this. The ample air flow between the coils helps any heat trapped in the foams above a place to escape. Making for the Beautyrest Black Calista Extra Firm mattress to sleep temperature neutral for almost any sleeper, even the warmest.
