The Beautyrest Black Hybrid Series Two Medium Apex Top is the pressure-relief upgrade inside Beautyrest’s Black Hybrid family, listed at $3,249.00 on the brand’s own site. It is built for sleepers who want deeply contouring pressure relief, enhanced cooling, and enhanced edge support, and it carries a Medium Apex Top feel with three additional inches of memory foam encased into the surface. The short version: this is a premium-priced hybrid with a specific comfort mission, backed by a 100-Night In-Home Trial and a 10-Year Limited Warranty. Whether the Apex Top surface justifies the list price depends on how you weigh the trial window, the warranty term, and the alternatives in this bracket.

Who is the Beautyrest Black Hybrid Series Two Apex Top for?
This mattress is for sleepers who prioritize deep contouring pressure relief and want a cool-to-the-touch surface, and who are comfortable buying at a $3,249 list price. It suits shoppers who value a Medium Apex Top feel with an added three inches of memory foam in the surface, plus the edge support the Apex Top Design is credited with enhancing. It is less suited to budget buyers or those who want a long trial window, since Beautyrest lists a 100-night trial and a 10-year limited warranty. The official specifications describe the Series Two Medium Apex Top as made for all sleepers, and the feel is listed as Medium Apex Top, one of three feel labels Beautyrest shows for this model alongside Firm and Plush.
In practice, that profile points at four kinds of buyer:
- Side and combination sleepers who want a surface that cradles pressure points rather than staying lifted.
- Hot sleepers who weigh cooling features heavily, since the brand lists a cool-to-the-touch Sleep Climate Surface and Micro Diamond Memory Foam.
- Couples who care about motion separation, which the brand attributes to Triple-Stranded Pocketed Coil Technology.
- Showroom-minded shoppers who want White Glove Delivery with free mattress removal, both listed as included.
If you fall outside typical sizing, confirm the current specifications on the official site before ordering, since no weight rating or sleeper-count limit appears on this page.
What does the construction actually include?
The build centers on three documented systems. Triple-Stranded Pocketed Coil Technology provides what the brand calls its most advanced individualized support and motion separation. The Apex Top Design adds three additional inches of Beautyrest Gel Memory Foam for enhanced pressure relief, working with FORM HD Material, which the brand describes as deeply contouring to relieve pressure as it cradles every curve. The surface uses ContourFit Design, described as a smooth, contouring surface made to nestle you directly into the specialty foams.
Beautyrest also claims 3X better airflow with FORM HD Material, with a footnote stating this is compared to the same mattress using a non-open cell memory foam in place of the FORM HD Material. That comparison is the brand’s own, and the footnote is part of the official page.
Foams are CertiPUR-US certified, which the brand states means they are made without formaldehyde, flame retardants, prohibited phthalates, and heavy metals, and meet low-VOC standards for indoor air quality.
How does the Series Two Apex Top compare across sizes?
The official page lists one price, $3,249.00, and shows Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, and Cal King as available sizes. The table below records what the brand’s page documents.

For a price read across the wider premium hybrid market, the Queen figure is the one to match. Our Saatva vs Beautyrest comparison explains why a collection-wide entry price is not a fair stand-in for a specific Black model.

How does the feel and support read on paper?
The feel is listed as Medium Apex Top, and the brand describes Series Two as having a special surface that helps you experience the foams underneath quicker. The surface and the foams beneath it both deeply contour to your body, and the Apex Top Medium model especially helps with pressure relief because it has three additional inches of memory foam encased into the surface. Beautyrest positions this as a step up from Series One, stating Series Two is designed for a more contouring feel because it has a foam upgrade that deeply contours.
Support comes from the Triple-Stranded Pocketed Coil system, which the brand calls its most advanced individualized support. No firmness number, indentation load deflection figure, or sleeper weight rating appears for this model on the official page. If a numeric firmness rating matters to your decision, confirm the current specifications with the brand or the retailer before ordering.
Buyers comparing across brands should note that feel labels are not standardized. A Medium Apex Top at Beautyrest is not the same measurement as a Luxury Firm or Plush Soft at another brand. Our Saatva Classic vs Beautyrest Black guide covers how to match configurations fairly.
What does the brand say about cooling?
Beautyrest states that all Beautyrest Black models are designed to help you sleep cool, and that Series Two models have a cool-to-the-touch cover and a diamond-particle-infused memory foam. The cover is designed to help you sleep comfortable, and the memory foam is positioned as part of the heat-transfer story. The documented features are the Sleep Climate Surface and Micro Diamond Memory Foam, plus the FORM HD Material airflow claim of 3X better airflow against a non-open cell memory foam substitute.
Cooling claims on mattress pages are brand statements rather than independent test results, and no third-party temperature measurement appears for this model. Shoppers who weigh cooling heavily should read what the airflow footnote actually compares before treating the 3X figure as a real-world result.
How do motion separation and edge support read?
The brand attributes its most advanced motion separation to Triple-Stranded Pocketed Coil Technology, and lists edge support as one of the areas the Apex Top Design enhances. Those are the documented claims, and no measured motion transfer figure, edge sag data, or durability test result appears for this model.
For buyers, this means reading the 10-year limited warranty terms for what is covered on the edges, and confirming the return window with the retailer if you order through a partner rather than Beautyrest.com. Motion isolation matters most for couples, and edge support matters most for sleepers who sit on the side of the bed daily or who sleep close to the perimeter.
What are the trial, delivery, and warranty terms?
The official page lists a 100-Night In-Home Trial, with a full refund available if you reach out during the trial to initiate a return. Delivery is complimentary White Glove Delivery, with a call confirming your delivery window on the day of delivery, and free mattress removal is listed. The warranty is a 10-Year Limited Warranty. Financing options are listed as available. These terms apply to Beautyrest.com orders, and retailer terms may differ, so if you buy from a partner store, confirm the trial length, return process, and warranty registration with that seller.
Our Saatva vs Beautyrest comparison sets out how the two brands’ published trial and warranty terms differ side by side.
Where does the Series Two Apex Top sit in the Black family?
Beautyrest publishes a clear ladder across the Black Hybrid range, and the Series Two Medium Apex Top sits in the middle of it. The brand’s own descriptions read as follows:
- Series One offers the most advanced individualized support and motion separation with a contouring feel for exceptional pressure relief and a cool-to-the-touch cover.
- Series Two adds the Series One benefits plus upgrades for enhanced cooling, deeply contouring pressure relief that cradles every curve, and an Apex Top Medium model designed for overall upgraded pressure relief and edge support.
- Series Three adds responsive pressure relief and 2K Micro Coils in the Medium model for increased individualized support.
- Series Four adds 4K Micro Coils for increased support and an Apex Top design in all models for overall upgraded pressure relief and edge support.
The brand also draws a line between the Hybrid and Quilted Innerspring constructions: Black Hybrid models have the same support system as Black Quilted Innerspring models, but Black Hybrid features different cooling and pressure relieving foams. The main difference is that Black Hybrid models have a smooth surface with foams that deeply contour to your body, while Black Quilted Innerspring models have a traditional quilted surface with responsive foams designed to stay lifted as you move.
Beautyrest’s own guidance on choosing is direct: pick this option if you want the pressure-relieving benefits of Black Hybrid with enhancements for better cooling and deeper contouring. For readers weighing Series Two against its siblings, our Series One review and Series Three review cover the adjacent steps in the same family.
Who should NOT buy the Series Two Apex Top?
Three buyer profiles should look elsewhere. First, budget shoppers: at a $3,249 list price, this model sits well above entry-level hybrid pricing, and our Beautyrest BR800 review covers the brand’s lower-priced end. Second, trial-first buyers: the 100-Night In-Home Trial is a third of the 365-night window Saatva publishes, which matters if you want a full year to decide. Third, shoppers who want a long written warranty: Beautyrest lists a 10-Year Limited Warranty against Saatva’s lifetime coverage.
A fourth group should pause as well: sleepers who want a responsive, lifted surface rather than a contouring one. Beautyrest itself draws that line, describing Black Quilted Innerspring models as having responsive foams designed to stay lifted as you move, while this Hybrid surface is built to nestle you into the foams. If you dislike sinking into memory foam, the Apex Top Design works against your preference by design.
How does it compare with the Saatva Classic?
The Saatva Classic is the natural cross-brand alternative for buyers who weigh trial length and warranty term above an Apex Top surface. The two models publish very different terms, and the table below sets them side by side.
| Item | Beautyrest Black Hybrid Series Two Medium Apex Top | Saatva Classic |
|---|---|---|
| List price shown | $3,249.00 | $2,229, currently $1,904 with a $325 saving |
| Trial | 100-Night In-Home Trial | 365-night home trial |
| Warranty | 10-Year Limited Warranty | Lifetime warranty |
| Delivery | Free White Glove Delivery and free mattress removal | Free white-glove delivery and setup, with free old-mattress removal |
| Feel options | Firm, Medium Apex Top, Plush | Plush Soft (3/10), Luxury Firm (5-7/10), Firm (8/10) |
| Heights | Not listed on this page | 11.5 inches or 14.5 inches |
| Support design | Triple-Stranded Pocketed Coil Technology | Dual-coil design of over 1,000 recycled carbon steel coils in full size and up, tempered three times |
| Certifications | CertiPUR-US certified foams | CertiPUR-US certified foams, GREENGUARD Gold certified, endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association |
Who should buy the Beautyrest: shoppers who want the Apex Top surface with three additional inches of memory foam, a cool-to-the-touch cover, and the Beautyrest brand experience, and who are comfortable at a $3,249 list price with a 100-night trial.
Who should buy the Saatva Classic: shoppers who want a 365-night trial, a lifetime warranty, three named firmness levels with published firmness numbers, two heights, and Lumbar Zone Technology for spinal alignment, at a lower listed price.
The verdict between the two is clear on terms and on price: the Saatva Classic publishes a longer trial, a longer warranty, and a lower price, while the Beautyrest publishes the Apex Top surface and its specific pressure-relief mission. Our Saatva Classic vs Beautyrest Black and Beautyrest vs Sealy guides extend that comparison further.
Verdict: the Beautyrest Black Hybrid Series Two Medium Apex Top is a premium-priced hybrid built for deep contouring pressure relief, with a cool-to-the-touch surface, an Apex Top Design credited with enhanced edge support, and a 100-night trial behind a 10-year limited warranty. Buy it if the Apex Top feel is the specific thing you want. Look at the Saatva Classic if trial length, warranty term, and price matter more than the three extra inches of memory foam.
World Sleep Almanac score: 7.6/10
Our editorial score for the Beautyrest Black Hybrid Series Two Medium Apex Top, judged on five criteria: price at size parity, trial and return terms, warranty length, materials and construction, and public customer feedback. The score reflects how the published terms and build compare in this price bracket, not a physical test.
- Price at size parity: 7/10. A single $3,249.00 list price with no per-size breakdown published.
- Trial and returns: 7/10. A 100-Night In-Home Trial with a full refund, shorter than the 365-night windows in this bracket.
- Warranty: 7/10. A 10-Year Limited Warranty against lifetime coverage offered by the closest cross-brand alternative.
- Materials and construction: 8.5/10. Triple-Stranded Pocketed Coil Technology, an Apex Top Design with three extra inches of gel memory foam, FORM HD Material, and CertiPUR-US certified foams.
- Public customer feedback: not factored. No public review count appears for this model on the official page, so this criterion carries no weight in the score.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Medium Apex Top feel the same as a medium firmness?
Not necessarily. Beautyrest lists Medium Apex Top as a feel label alongside Firm and Plush, and the label describes a contouring surface with three additional inches of memory foam encased into it.
What does the 3X better airflow claim actually compare?
The brand’s footnote states the 3X figure is compared to the same mattress with a non-open cell memory foam in the place of the FORM HD Material. It is a comparison between two versions of this mattress, not a comparison against other brands or an independent laboratory measurement. Read the footnote before treating the figure as a real-world cooling result.
Does the Apex Top Design change how the edges feel?
No measured edge sag data appears for this model, so the claim rests on the brand’s own description.
Can I order this mattress in a Twin?
The sizes listed on the official page are Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, and Cal King. A standard Twin does not appear in that list.
How is Series Two different from Series One?
Beautyrest describes Series Two as carrying all the benefits from Series One plus upgrades for enhanced cooling and deeply contouring pressure relief that cradles every curve, with an Apex Top Medium model designed for overall upgraded pressure relief and edge support. The brand states Series Two is designed for a more contouring feel than Series One because it has a foam upgrade that deeply contours to your body, along with an upgraded cooling foam designed to help transfer heat away from your body.
What happens if I buy from a retailer instead of Beautyrest.com?
The 100-Night In-Home Trial, the White Glove Delivery, the free mattress removal, and the 10-Year Limited Warranty are listed on the brand’s own product page, and Beautyrest notes that retailer terms may differ. If you buy from a partner store, confirm the trial length, the return process, and the warranty registration with that seller before you order.
