How is Westin Heavenly Bed Different?

The Westin Heavenly Bed has an overall performance score that is 0.04 lower than average, as well as a price tag that is significantly higher than average.

Comparing all coil mattresses tested to date, the average price is $1,172, but Westin comes in hot, over twice the average price ($2495 for a queen).

Advantages

This mattress has lower levels of motion transfer than average as well as faster material response time. Edge support is also better than average, with 3.25″ of sinkage when seated at the edge (compared to 4.05″ average).

The Westin has a 4.75″ comfort layer, which is thicker than average and certainly contributes to the better pressure relief score, another real advantage of this mattress.

Neutral Factors

This mattress has very deep sinkage and moderate levels of bounce. Both of these factors are considered “neutral” since different sleepers may have different preferences in this area.

Disadvantages

The biggest disadvantage of the Westin Heavenly mattress is the lack of trial period and no returns. This factor doesn’t even have anything to do with the actual performance but can be a huge downside for sleepers who aren’t 100% sure that they want this mattress. The price may also be another big con for sleepers on a budget.

Looking at performance, the biggest disadvantage is limited cooling performance. Coil mattresses usually excel in this area, but that’s not the case for Westin.

The Westin Heavenly Bed has a good level of cooling performance, though it didn’t quite rise to the “excellent” or “outstanding” level. During our tests, I felt a slight level of heat retention around my body.

• Baseline Temperature – the temperature of the mattress before anyone lies on it
• Maximum Temperature (0 minute) – the temperature of the mattress after lying on it for 15 minutes
• Ending Temperature (5 minute) – the temperature of the mattress after being lied upon and having no one on it for 5 minutes

From a material and design perspective, we have a fairly classic coil mattress with a euro top cover. The coil unit is definitely helping to bring plenty of airflow into the mattress.

However, the mattress also creates a very deep level of sinkage. This causes the euro top and other foam layers to more intensely wrap up around the sides of the body. It feels a bit like lying with blankets and pillows around the sides of the body.

While this feel does help to create great pressure relief, it’s not doing any favors for cooling performance.

In our objective temperature tests, we measured a max surface level temperature of 90.2° F. This is 0.6° more than the average of 89.6° F, based on all of our tests to date.

When we consider the combination of objective data, my subjective experiences, and an analysis of the materials, I’m confident in my view that cooling is good, but also not amazing.

Heat Dissipation Over Time

The Westin Heavenly Bed has a very deep sinkage level. During our tests, we measured a pressure point sinkage depth of 2.77″. This is 0.63″ more sinkage than the average sinkage depth of 2.14″, based on all of our tests to date.

Despite the deeper sinkage, the mattress doesn’t create an exacting or significant body contouring hug. While the Heavenly Bed does use a foam comfort layer, it’s restrained by relying heavily on the 2.25” euro top cover to provide much of the comfort dynamic.

The level of sinkage is documented in the image below.

The mattress has a more classic pillow top feel, which is to say lots of sinking down “in” the mattress and plenty of softness and cushioning in the top layers.

While it does contain foam, the foam layers aren’t as dense feeling and don’t dramatically contour to the body like many other modern mattresses do. As a result, the Heavenly Bed feels more like other traditional coil and innerspring mattresses.

The Westin Heavenly Bed has a very low level of motion transfer. During our tests, we measured a total acceleration range of 7.30 m/s². This is 17% less motion transfer than the average of 8.78 m/s².

Typically, coil mattresses have more motion transfer. However, the soft and thick euro top cover on the Heavenly Bed is doing a great job at reducing motion.

In addition, we have 4.75” of comfort material, a high-quality coil unit, and foam encasement running around the perimeter, all of which help to keep motion in check.

The level of motion transfer is also documented in the video below.

In our motion transfer chart, which visualizes our accelerometer data, we can see the highest motion peaks from 0 to 0.14 seconds.

Motion remains moderate from 0.14 to 0.94 seconds. By 1.30 seconds we return to near-zero levels of energy.

The motion duration on the mattress is far from ideal and is more typical of coil mattresses. That said, the motion intensity is still kept well below average levels.

Overall, I’m pleased with the level of motion transfer and don’t expect it will be an issue for most sleepers.

The Westin Heavenly Bed has an extremely fast mostly recovered response time and a very fast fully recovered response time.

In our mostly recovered test, we measured a recovery speed of 0.2 seconds, which is 0.20 seconds faster than the average of 0.40 seconds, based on all of our tests to date.

In our fully recovered responsiveness test, we measured a recovery speed of 0.6 seconds, which is 0.30 seconds faster than the average of 0.90 seconds.

Most coil mattresses have faster-than-average maternal responsiveness and that’s exactly what we measured with the Heavenly Bed.

The level of responsiveness is documented in the video below.

The combination of coil base layer, limited use of memory foam, and primarily poly foam comfort layer are all helping to create the conditions for faster material responsiveness.

The faster response ensures sleepers will never feel stuck on the mattress and the mattress remains easy to move around on.

The Westin Heavenly Bed has a moderate level of bounce. During our tests, we measured a total bounce height of 9.44″. This is 0.09″ less bounce than the average of 9.53″, based on all of our tests to date.

Coil mattresses typically have higher levels of bounce than average, but the Westin fell slightly below average.

That said, when we consider the thick euro top cover and thick 4.75” total comfort foam layer, it’s easy to see why bounce is more restrained.

The level of bounce is also documented in the video below.

Perhaps most importantly the mattress has a very deep level of sinkage. This combination of factors means it’s easy to sink in, but harder to bounce back up.

While I did expect a higher level of bounce, bounce at these levels is still perfectly reasonable. It’s enough to improve sex and ease of movement, but not so high as to create problems for motion transfer.

Overall, I’m pleased with the level of bounce and expect it to be a non-issue for most sleepers.

The Westin Heavenly Bed has excellent sitting edge support and excellent lying edge support.

In our sitting edge support test, we measured a sitting sinkage compression of 3.25″. This is 0.79″ less sitting sinkage than the average of 4.04″, based on all of our tests to date.

The level of edge support while seated is documented in the images below.

While sitting directly on the edge I felt well-supported and there was no collapse of materials.

Lying edge support was equally as impressive. While lying directly on the edge of the mattress I felt that the support was excellent in all sleeping positions.

The level of edge support while lying is documented in the images below.

The mattress uses a 4.0” support foam layer that runs along the entire perimeter of the mattress. This foam helps to notably improve edge support for both sitting and lying.

Overall, I’m pleased with edge support performance and expect most sleepers will find it to be sufficient.

The Westin Heavenly Bed has good sex performance. On the positive side, there is enough bounce, edge support is robust, pressure relief is excellent, and cooling is good. The Heavenly Bed has 9.44” of total bounce height, which is just slightly below the average of 9.53”.

Sex Factor	Factor Weight	Score	Rating
Bounce	65%	8.4	High
Edge Support	20%	9.7	Excellent
Noise	5%	4.0	Very high
Pressure Relief	5%	9.0	Excellent
Cooling	5%	8.0	Good

While bounce could definitely be higher, it’s high enough to earn a good score and provide sufficient pushback. Edge support is excellent with just 3.25” of sitting edge compression.

This enables couples to use the edge of the mattress with greater confidence and support.

The only serious weak spot is noise. This is a more traditional coil mattress and quite frankly creates a substantial volume of noise.

For couples trying to have a stealthier dance without pants the noise level could prove to be problematic.

The Westin Heavenly Bed has an excellent level of pressure relief. During our tests, I felt no significant level of pressure points anywhere on my body.

The mattress creates a deeper level of sinkage with a high-performance euro top. This combination creates an amazingly comfortable feel. The mattress is equipped with 4.75″ of comfort material.

The Westin Heavenly Bed has 0.62″ more comfort material than the average comfort layer thickness of 4.13″, based on all of our tests to date. The comfort layer is a 2.25” euro top, 0.5” gel memory foam, and 2.0” poly foam. The layers all look and feel high quality.

In our pressure mapping tests, we measured a max PSI of 1.35. A PSI of 2.0 is considered a high pressure point and we are nowhere near those levels.

While we did measure slightly more pressure along the side, specifically in the shoulder and hips, it’s still nothing I would consider troubling.

When I consider our objective pressure maps, the material thickness, material quality, and my subjective experience on the mattress, I’m confident most sleepers will find the pressure relief to be excellent.

Pressure Map – Side Sleepers

Pressure Relief (PSI)	Average	Maximum
Side Sleepers	0.19	1.35

Pressure Map – Back Sleepers

Pressure Relief (PSI)	Average	Maximum
Back Sleepers	0.09	0.97

Pressure Map – Stomach Sleepers

Pressure Relief (PSI)	Average	Maximum
Stomach Sleepers	0.11	0.60

Off-gassing on the Westin Heavenly Bed is moderate and the smell lasted for only 1 day.

Comparing all mattresses tested to date, the average off-gassing duration is 6 days so the Westin off-gasses 5 days faster than average.

It definitely helps that the Heavenly Bed ships uncompressed in a plastic bag. Many other competitors vacuum-seal the mattresses and roll them into a box.

The process of being compressed tends to trap material odors for a bit longer compared to mattresses that are not compressed.

Westin has a poor company score that does not do consumers any favors. The mattress does not come with a trial period, there are no refunds, and there are no returns.

This is a huge red flag, in my opinion, considering that the majority of mattresses provide at least a 100-night trial (average is 178 nights.) Buying a mattress without any trial, refunds, or returns is incredibly risky, especially when you consider many other mattress companies offer generous return and refund policies.

Company Factor	Factor Weight	Score	Data
Trial Period	15%	0	0 nights
Warranty	10%	8.0	10 years
Shipping	5%	10	$0
Returns	20%	0	No / Very limited returns
Trust	50%	8.0	Good
Country of Origin	0%		USA

Aside from the lack or trial and returns, the Westin does have the benefit of free shipping and a 10-year warranty.

But even that warranty is shorter than the average. Comparing over 270+ mattresses tested to date, 25% of mattresses have lifetime warranties and the average of the other 75% of mattresses is 13 years (3 years longer than the Westin warranty).

The Westin Heavenly Bed is available in a single firmness of 5 out of 10 (where 10 is the most firm). This gives the mattress a medium feel.

Support on the Westin Heavenly Bed is excellent. During our tests, I felt well-supported in all sleeping positions.

The mattress is equipped with an 8.5″ support layer. This is 0.62″ thicker than the average support layer thickness of 7.88″, based on all of our tests to date. Equally importantly, the mattress also has a 4.75″ comfort layer.

For a mattress to be supportive, it must be capable of creating sufficient comfort so sleepers can lie in the same position, while also achieving a neutral spinal alignment for sleepers.

Check out the table below to see the sleeper weights and sleeping positions that would be best suited for this mattress.

Sleeper Weight	Stomach Sleepers	Side Sleepers	Back Sleepers
Under 150 lbs.	Maybe	Yes	Maybe
150-250 lbs.	Maybe	Yes	Maybe
250-300 lbs.	No	Yes	No

The mattress has a design, material thickness, and material quality all at sufficient levels to create good support. The one polarizing attribute of the mattress is the very deep level of sinkage.

While this deeper sinkage helps to create better pressure relief, it can simply be too extreme for many back and stomach sleepers.

Stomach and back sleepers could feel that the spine simply sinks down too deep, which could cause pressure points to build up during the night.

All that said, that same very deep sinkage level is ideal for many side sleepers. To be well supported in the Heavenly Bed sleepers will need to prefer the medium feel, very deep sinkage, and more classic coil feel.

Design

The Westin Heavenly Bed is a 13.25″ coil mattress with a medium feel. This mattress requires the use of Westin’s box spring and delivers a traditional coil mattress feel.

Materials

There are five layers that make up the Westin Heavenly Bed, including a mix of both foam and coils. From top to bottom, those layers include:

• 2.25” Eurotop Cover
• 0.5” gel-infused memory foam
• 2.0” poly foam
• 8.0” pocketed coil
• 0.5” fiber pad

The Cover

The cover of the Westin Heavenly Bed is a 2.25″ Euro-top cover. It is plush to the touch and has tufted detailing along the surface.

This cover offers very deep sinkage and high levels of contour when sitting or lying on the mattress.

The Comfort Layer

Beneath the cover is the comfort layer, made up of 2 layers of foam. The top layer is a 0.5″ gel memory foam (blue) that is designed for cooling, contour, and viscoelasticity.

Beneath the gel foam is a 2.0″ memory foam layer (yellow). This foam lacks the gel but retains the feel of traditional memory foam.

The Support Layer

The support layer of the Westin includes an 8.0″ coil system followed by a thin 0.5″ fiber pad.

Along the perimeter of the mattress, there is a thick 4.0” perimeter support foam.

As the name suggests, this foam is designed to support sleepers sitting or lying at the edge of the mattress.

Product Evolution

The Westin Heavenly Bed mattress was released in 1999 when it first became available for purchase and was also used within Westin hotels.

Westin now calls this mattress released in 1999 their “legacy Heavenly bed”. Unfortunately, information is limited on any precise material or design changes over the years.

However, we do know that in 2024 Westin made updates to the mattress, calling this new mattress design the “Next Generation of Heavenly Bed”. The 2024 Heavenly Bed mattress is the one we tested for this review.
