The Heavenly Bed was redesigned in 2024 for the first time since 1999, and the mattress Westin now sells is that 13.25-inch Next Generation build, made by Simmons/Beautyrest. This Westin Heavenly Bed mattress review reports what one independent lab measured on it, then puts the numbers next to the terms that decide the purchase: no trial, no returns, and a box spring Westin says you must buy.
Updated · By SleepUnpacked Research Team
For side sleepers who already know they like the hotel feel, yes — the lab measured a medium 5/10 with 9/10 pressure relief and 8/10 cooling, and recommended side sleeping at every body weight it tested. For everyone else the terms are the problem: the mattress is made to order and final sale with no sleep trial, Westin says its own box spring is required, the 10-year warranty is short for the price, and back and stomach sleepers over about 250 lb are not recommended at all. If you have not slept on the 2024 bed in a Westin, buy something with a trial instead.
The retail mattress sold through the Westin Store, which now redirects to Marriott Bonvoy Boutiques. It is the 13.25-inch pillow-top build introduced in 2024, the first full redesign since 1999; the earlier 12.5-inch Heavenly Bed is a different mattress and owner data about it is excluded here. Sold mattress-only or as a set with a 5.5-inch low-profile or 9-inch standard Westin box spring. Also stocked by Pottery Barn under its own terms.
Westin describes reinforced pocketed-coil technology under layers of foam with air pockets and a plush pillow top with silver fibers for an antimicrobial finish. The independent teardown lists a 2.25-inch Euro pillow top, 0.5 inch of gel memory foam, 2 inches of memory foam, 8 inches of pocketed coils, and a 0.5-inch fiber pad. Made in the USA by Simmons/Beautyrest for Westin.
Westin uses no numeric scale; its language is "plush pillow-top" and "the perfect balance of comfort and firmness." The independent lab measured 5 of 10 on the 2024 build. There is one feel only, so a poor fit cannot be fixed by choosing a different option.
Add 5.5 or 9 inches for the Westin box spring, which Westin says is required. A queen on the standard box spring sits at roughly 22 inches before the frame, so check bed height and deep-pocket sheet fit before ordering.
Marriott lists a single range spanning every size and set configuration rather than a per-size price until you configure the product, and it also accepts Bonvoy points. Independent reviewers recorded queen figures between roughly $2,495 and $2,945 in 2026, so treat any single number as a snapshot. Pottery Barn prices the same mattress separately.
Mattresses and box springs are made to order and sold as final sale. There is no comfort period of any length, which is the single biggest difference from the online brands this site usually reviews. The only way to try the mattress first is a night in a Westin hotel.
Delivery, in-home setup, packaging removal, and old-mattress haul-away are included in the service. On the checked date the product page said white-glove delivery was included while the shipping policy page listed a $195 flat white-glove fee for mattresses and box springs, so confirm the charge in your cart before treating it as free.
The policy lists mattresses and box springs among items that cannot be returned or refunded. Damage on arrival or a quality concern is handled as a warranty claim through customer support, and the delivery team asks you to inspect the mattress and base before signing.
Runs from the delivery date and covers manufacturing defects Marriott lists as loose, broken, or protruding coils, fabric tears around handles, stitching damage, and excessive body indentations or sagging. The indentation depth that qualifies is not published on the FAQ page, so request the written warranty before relying on it, and expect proper support (Westin says its box spring) to be a condition.

The original Heavenly Bed launched in 1999 as a 12.5-inch Simmons pillow top and is the mattress most older reviews and owner surveys describe. In May 2024 Westin began installing the Next Generation Heavenly Bed, a 13.25-inch pillow-top pocketed-coil innerspring with silver fibers in the cover, and that is the mattress the retail store now sells. Westin states the retail version uses the same design and construction as the hotel bed.
Every measured result on this page comes from a test of the 2024 build whose height and layer sequence match the current listing. Owner data on the 12.5-inch bed — including its sagging-complaint rate — is disclosed in the sources but not applied here, because it describes a different mattress. A hotel stay only previews this mattress if the property has the new bed.
Each result is labeled by evidence type. A measurement is not converted into a 10-point rating, and an untested metric stays unscored.
Medium (5/10)
Plusher than the "balance of comfort and firmness" language implies. The tufted pillow top gives an immediate cushion, then the pocketed coils push back — which is why it reads as medium rather than soft despite the deep first impression.
NapLab test (2024 build)9 / 10 lab rating
The strongest result on the mattress and the reason it suits side sleepers. A 4.75-inch comfort stack (pillow top plus two foam layers) spreads load at the shoulder and hip before the coils take over.
NapLab test (2024 build)8 / 10 lab rating
Good for a pillow top. The memory-foam layers are thin enough that most of the body sits above the coil unit, and Westin’s foam-with-air-pockets design and the silver-fiber cover do not appear to hurt airflow.
NapLab test (2024 build)7.30 m/s² transfer acceleration
A physical measurement rather than a score: lower is better, and the lab classed this as good for a coil mattress. Individually wrapped coils absorb more movement than the older continuous-coil hotel beds, though an all-foam bed would still transmit less.
NapLab test (2024 build)0.2 s to mostly recover, 0.6 s to fully recover
Quick. The coils dominate the response, so changing position is easy and there is no sense of being held in the foam — the trade-off is the noise noted below.
NapLab test (2024 build)3.25 in seated edge sinkage
A measurement, not a rating. The perimeter foam rail keeps the edge usable for sitting, but a 2.25-inch pillow top will always compress more than a tight-top under a seated load. Adequate rather than a strength.
NapLab test (2024 build)Audible coil noise under vigorous movement
Sleep Unpacked assessment based on the independent lab’s reported observation; no decibel measurement was published. The lab described a substantial amount of noise from the coil unit during intimate activity, which is worth weighing if discretion matters.
NapLab test (2024 build)These fit calls interpret one independent lab's position-by-weight recommendations and its sinkage measurement for the 2024 build's single medium feel. Because there is no firmer option and no trial, a poor fit here cannot be corrected after purchase.
The lab recommended side sleeping in this band. A 5/10 pillow top yields at the shoulder without needing much body weight to engage it.
The best-matched combination on the mattress: 9/10 pressure relief, 2.77 inches of sinkage, and coils that stop the sink from becoming a trough.
The lab still recommended side sleeping here, but sinkage grows with load and the 8-inch coil unit is doing more of the work; the box-spring requirement matters most at this weight.
The lab rated this a "maybe." Lighter back sleepers stay reasonably level, though the pillow top offers less lumbar pushback than a tight-top innerspring.
Workable, but the lab warned that deeper sinkage could be too much for many back sleepers. If you want firm support under the hips, this is the wrong feel.
The lab did not recommend back sleeping above 250 lb: hip sink on a plush top at higher load pulls the spine out of line.
A "maybe" from the lab even at lower body weight. A pillow top is rarely the first choice for stomach sleepers, who need the hips held level.
Sinkage of 2.77 inches at the lab’s test load is deep for this position, and there is no firmer option of this mattress to switch to.
The weakest cell on the mattress: the lab did not recommend stomach sleeping above 250 lb, and there is no trial to discover the problem safely.
Recovery in 0.2 seconds makes repositioning easy, and the side-sleeping phases are well served; back and stomach phases are the compromise.
The coil response keeps movement effortless, but combination sleepers who spend most of the night on their stomach should read the row above.
Side phases remain fine; back and stomach phases are not recommended at this weight, so the more time spent off the side, the worse the fit.
Fit calls are editorial interpretations of cited third-party testing. They are comfort and alignment judgements, not clinical recommendations, and the absence of a return option makes them worth reading more carefully than usual.
Westin describes reinforced pocketed coils under layers of foam with air pockets and a plush pillow top with antimicrobial silver fibers. The independent teardown fills in the depths: a 2.25-inch tufted Euro pillow top, 0.5 inch of gel memory foam, 2 inches of memory foam, 8 inches of pocketed coils, a 0.5-inch fiber pad, and a foam perimeter rail, totalling 13.25 inches. That 4.75-inch comfort stack explains the 9/10 pressure relief; the thin foam layers over an open coil unit explain the 8/10 cooling and the quick 0.2-second recovery. It also explains the noise finding — a lively coil unit under a thin foam layer has less material to damp it.
There is no sleep trial. Mattresses and box springs are made to order and final sale; only damage or a quality concern is handled, through a warranty claim. Delivery is white-glove in four to six weeks with setup, packaging removal, and haul-away — but on the checked date the product page called delivery included while the shipping policy listed a $195 flat fee, so confirm the charge in your cart. Westin says its 5.5-inch or 9-inch box spring is required to support the mattress. The warranty is ten years from delivery and covers excessive indentation, at a depth the FAQ does not publish.
Modeled, not observed. Assumptions: nightly use by one or two adults, the Westin box spring as the foundation, occasional rotation, and no liquid damage. Inputs are the layer depths from the independent teardown and Westin’s coil description; foam densities are not published, and denser foams would slow the trajectory below. This is directional material reasoning — not a failure probability, a service-life guarantee, or a review score.
A tufted 2.25-inch pillow top over 2.5 inches of memory foam is where softening shows first on this kind of build, typically as a body impression under the hips rather than a coil failure. Because the surface starts at 5/10, a modest loss of loft is felt sooner than it would be on a firmer bed, and side sleepers over 250 lb load that layer hardest.
An 8-inch pocketed-coil unit Westin describes as reinforced, a foam perimeter rail, and a construction the company says is built for hotel-grade use. Marriott’s FAQ states its products are tested to withstand increased usage; that is the manufacturer’s claim, and no independent long-term result exists to confirm it on the 2024 build.
Low confidence: one lab test, no foam densities, and owner data only for the previous construction. This section will be revised when a construction change is published, when a second compatible test or long-term retest appears, or when meaningful owner evidence on the 2024 build accumulates. Until then, treat the 10-year warranty and its unpublished indentation threshold as the practical floor.

The Classic is the safer purchase for anyone who has not already slept on a Heavenly Bed: three firmness options, a year to decide, and an adjustable-base-ready height. The Heavenly Bed wins only if you know the hotel feel is exactly what you want.
Westin says yes: the company states the direct-to-consumer mattress uses the same design and construction found at Westin properties, and Marriott’s FAQ says its retail products are designed to reflect the comfort of the hotel versions. Two caveats. First, the 2024 Next Generation build began rolling into hotels in May 2024, so a stay at a property still using the 1999-era 12.5-inch bed is not a preview of the current retail mattress. Second, the hotel experience includes Westin’s box spring, pillows, and bedding, and the mattress alone will feel different on a different foundation.
Westin’s product page says the box spring is required to properly support the mattress, offered in a 5.5-inch low-profile or 9-inch standard height. Marriott’s FAQ lists excessive sagging as a warranty defect, and mattress warranties in general condition coverage on proper support, so using a platform bed, slats, or an adjustable base is a risk to both alignment and any future claim. Budget for the set price, not the mattress-only price, and note that the standard box spring puts a queen at roughly 22 inches before the frame.
No. Marriott’s shipping and returns policy states that mattresses and box springs are made to order and final sale, and lists them among items that cannot be returned or refunded. Only damage on arrival or a quality concern is handled, as a warranty claim through customer support. There is no comfort trial of any length, which is the biggest difference between this mattress and the online brands reviewed elsewhere on this site. Pottery Barn sells the same mattress under its own return terms, so compare policies before choosing where to buy.
An independent lab measured the 2024 build at 5 out of 10, a true medium with a plush first impression from the 2.25-inch tufted pillow top. Westin uses no numeric scale; its language is "plush pillow-top" and "the perfect balance of comfort and firmness." There is one feel only, so if it is too soft for you there is no firmer Heavenly Bed to exchange for, and no trial in which to find out.
Yes, and that is its clearest strength. The lab measured 9/10 pressure relief and recommended side sleeping in every body-weight band it tested, from under 150 lb to 250–300 lb. Back and stomach sleepers get a "maybe" below 250 lb and a not-recommended above it, because the pillow top lets the hips sink further than alignment in those positions can tolerate.
No version-matched long-term evidence exists for the 2024 build, so this is a modeled outlook, not a measurement. The pillow top and the 2.5 inches of memory foam beneath it are the parts most likely to soften first; the 8-inch pocketed-coil unit and perimeter rail should outlast them. Older owner data on the previous 12.5-inch Heavenly Bed reported meaningful sagging complaints within three years, but that is a different construction and is not applied here. The 10-year warranty covers excessive indentation, though the qualifying depth is not published on the FAQ page.
