There are many nocturnal nuisances that come in between you and the restful sleep you need. For each one, there is a cause. For example, if you’re a back sleeper and suffer with lower back pain, this is a sign you aren’t getting the contour you need in that area. Today, we’re going to be taking a look at a mattress designed with you in mind.
Most of the newer mattress companies out there feature a medium firmness, and this makes sense considering they’re new to the market and looking to attract a broad section market. However, you may not fit the mold. If you sleep on your side or don’t carry much weight, a plusher firmness is often the way to go.
Simmons offers their Beautyrest Silver Lydia Manor III line, and we looked at the extra firm model a few weeks back. Today, we’re switching gears and taking a look at their plush version. Keep reading our full Silver Lydia Manor III queen mattress review to see if this could be for you!

Mattresses aren’t one-size-fits-all. It’s our goal to lead you to the right one in a sea of so many great options. Here’s a quick look at how the Simmons Beautyrest Silver Lydia Manor III Plush mattress worked out:
Every mattress has their own unique way to provide both comfort and support. To see how this works, we always take a layer-by-layer look at what’s inside the cover. The total thickness is 13 ½ inches and is split up into three main sections:
The comfort zone provides the soft plushness you rely on and serves as a buffer between your body and the support system. It’s broken up into the following layers:
The Correct Back Support System contains two layers designed to stabilize body weight and ensure correct posture.
I like the design of the quilted cover. It’s stretch knit and offers a fire resistant barrier. Inside, it encases two important layers that compose the quilted cover that adds a lot of plushness to the equation:
I am encouraged to see more seasoned players in the mattress industry stepping up and offering an online option. Your mattress doesn’t arrive in a box. Instead, you get to take advantage of in-home white glove delivery. My delivery team was very professional. They will take your mattress inside, set everything up, and even remove packaging and your old mattress. Delivery includes up to two flights of stairs.
While online shopping eliminates a lot of hassle from the mattress shopping experience, the fact remains that you can’t lie on the mattress before you buy. That’s why we’re here to help you get a reliable virtual feel. Throughout the course of our complete Lydia Manor III Plush queen mattress review, just some of the areas we’ll touch on include:
It was a little bit confusing reading online reviews. I heard from some people who felt the mattress was too plush and others saying it was too firm. This seemed odd to me considering it’s advertised as plush, so let’s clarify.
Compared with a standard medium mattress, this product is definitely much plusher. Although the indentation load deflections are proprietary, we do get a look at the coil gauge. This number usually ranges between 12 and 15 with the higher number being plusher. In this case, the coil gauge is 15 ½. This is very plush, and the firmness makes it a good fit for anyone with a body mass index of less than 19.
If you’ve ever had trouble engaging with the layers of your mattress, you’re in for a treat with this product. I love the contour offered in the quilted cover. You will notice a feeling of sinking into the mattress to a certain degree. If you don’t like that feeling and/or carry a lot of weight, this could make it difficult to move. On the other hand, it can work very well to accommodate side sleepers and people who don’t carry a whole lot of weight.
It can be difficult to arrive at a product that effectively combines solid support with a plush feel. I think Simmons did an excellent job through the inclusion of the coil unit with such a high coil gauge. You get the advantage of that sturdy support that only coils can provide while still enjoying great contour.
I like that each layer is designed to aid each other in balancing support and comfort. If you suffer with pressure points, you will likely benefit from the plush firmness. It’s a breath of fresh air for people who don’t benefit from the medium firmness that’s so popular in the market. The Lydia Manor III plush mattress does a great job at maintaining plushness without sacrificing on support.
It’s not uncommon for plusher sleep products to sleep hot. When you sink deeper into your mattress, it can be easy for the body to warm up. When you throw in multiple memory foam layers that are known for hot sleeping, it can seem you’re out of luck when it comes to breathability in a plush mattress.
Simmons took multiple efforts to help this product breathe, and I had no trouble with hot sleeping while using it. These include:
If you suffer with hot sleeping and also need a mattress with a plush setting and plenty of support, I think the Lydia Manor III plush mattress could prove to be just what you’ve been looking for.
Volatile organic compounds, more commonly known as VOCs, are released for a certain period of time after a product has been manufactured. When you buy a bed-in-a-box that’s quickly vacuum-sealed following production, most of the offgassing happens when you open it up.
The Simmons Beautyrest Silver Lydia Manor III plush mattress is delivered via white glove delivery. It’s already had a lot of time to air out. When I received mine, I didn’t notice much of a smell at all. If you’re bothered by offgassing, this could be a good alternative to the growing number of boxed mattresses on the market.
A plush mattress can often cause hindrances when it comes to intimacy. When you sink too much into the comfort layers, it can make it difficult to move around. For some positions, this can be true with this product. If you carry a lot of weight, you may have some difficulty.
However, in other positions where the edge of the mattress is utilized, I think you’ll find intimacy is well accommodated. The coil unit effectively extends the sleep surface, providing ample edge support.
There are three primary sleep positions. While some people fluctuate positions through the night, others have that one that puts them to sleep every time. That’s why it’s so important to understand how a mattress will accommodate each position:
You want to be ready when your mattress arrives. Not only will this allow you to get the most out of your in-home delivery, but it also helps ensure your mattress lasts as long as possible. If you think this is the right mattress for you, be ready with one of the following:
Looking at the big picture with all things considered, the Lydia Manor III plush mattress can provide an excellent sleep surface for people who don’t weight much. The plusher firmness allows them to sink more deeply into the comfort zone and take advantage of contouring effect.
I like that Simmons has been in the mattress business since 1900. Not only has this given the company over a century to perfect their craft, but it also allows them to address a more diverse set of specific needs. If you’ve struggled to find a plush mattress in a sea of so many medium options on the market, this is among the plushest mattresses I’ve reviewed.
As someone who often struggles to pick up on the feeling of deeper comfort layers, I was very happy with the plushness. If you’re in the market for a truly plush mattress for under $1,000, the Lydia Manor III plush mattress by Simmons is a great option. It could also work well for:
o People who prefer a very firm sleep surface
o Side sleepers
o People with scoliosis or arthritis
o People who have trouble moving around
o People who sleep hot
o Shoppers looking for a good balance of support and plushness
