Got a call today (Tuesday) that they want to deliver on Thursday. Ordered October 21st and delivery set for November 6th. A little over 2 weeks which isn't bad considering I am in rural Michigan. I'll try to post more when it comes.

Why don't you click the tag pic link and let your eyes tell you? We are not in Matrix

BTW, you can also tell from numbers of springs. All classic king have 800 springs and King beds have about 1000. Apparently W Hotel bed fall in world class standard.

Yup...My Plush King that I had delivered yesterday is a World Class, although it doesn't have the 360 foam encasement along the edge like other World Class models. It does have the lower gauge pocket coils along the edge though, like the Classics.

If I had to categorize it, I would but it right in between World Class and Classic, despite the label. Regardless of that, my wife and i had a great first night's rest on ours.

Hi,

I bought a W-Hotel Plush Top queen size mattress and box spring last month. While it is comfortable, I've noticed the impressions or indentations left on top of the mattress from my body are permanent. In other words, they don't spring back to make the top of the mattress nice and flat. If you run your hand across the top of the mattress there will be dips, for instance, where your butt is, where your shoulders are, etc. Is this normal???

Thanks,
Bobby

It is normal for softer top mattresses to show body imprints to some extent. Are they causing a problem or are they just cosmetic? When you say permanent they are there the next night when you lay down? Indentations must be 1.5" or greater in order to get replaced by the warranty.

Thanks knightc2,

The indentations are about 3/4" deep and they stay there the next night, probably permanently. I'm just wondering are others experiencing the same thing with their W mattresses?

Does anyone know if you have to show proof that you're an employee to use this 40% off discount? Is it allowed for non-employees or "friends of employees"?

Just the usual word of caution to mattress shoppers: just because this is a decent deal (see my post below linking you to an essentially the same mattress sold at Macy's for the about same price), does not mean that it is the right deal for you. When it comes to mattresses people's comfort preferences vary WIDELY, so many mattresses that work for some people will cause excruciating pain to others.

These are good quality mattresses in the Simmons Classic line (not Worldclass, as has been incorrectly noted in some of the previous threads). This does not take anything away from the mattress, however, since there is no direct correlation between the amount of money that you spend and the comfort that you achieve in a mattress. At the same time, I find the W mattresses to be far too soft and not sufficiently supportive for my taste and, personally, much prefer the extra firm and cushion firm mattresses in the Simmons Worldclass line with 1260 coils and a memory foam layer (the memory foam layer on these mattresses does not have the slow sinking feeling which I hate of regular memory foam mattresses and is significantly more durable than regular foam, so it reduces permanent body impressions that make mattresses uncomfortable).

Again, this does not take anything away from this deal -- just make sure that you'll be comfortable on these mattresses or it won't matter how good of a financial deal you got. Otherwise, you may find yourself in this situation.

Roy2001 said:Look at the picture posted in FAQ. Also the number of coils indicates that it belongs to world class instead of classic. No, the number of coils indicates that it belongs to the Classic line. Simmons uses the coil count in the Queen sized mattresses(here is a link to Simmons' website, which confirms this) to assign it to the Classic versus Worldclass lines. As such, a Queen W mattress has 825 coils, which puts it in the Classic line. To confirm, just take a look at this Simmons Beautyrest Classic "Adrian" Plush Mattress Set sold at Macy's -- it is a Beautyrest Classic with 800 coils.

As you can see from this link taken directly from Simmons' website, a Simmons Worldclass mattress has 980 coils in queen sized mattresses. W Hotels have the "worldclass" label on them because their queen mattresses have 825 coils, which puts them ever so slightly above the Classic line (by 25 coils). In other words, in this case the label is somewhat or a marketing trick to cause people to think that they are getting more mattress for their money. Please note that Macy's price is very similar to the price at which the W mattresses sell and further discounts are pretty easy to obtain off the Macy's price with things like 20% off giftcards.

Again, this doesn't take anything away from this deal or from this mattress and if it is comfortable, you won't care about the label on it.

knightc2 said:The specs on this mattress are inline with moderately priced Beautyrest Classic models BUT the the tag on mine (and many others) clearly states that this is a Worldclass model. While the specs would place this mattress closer to the Classic line saying that this is not a Worldclass model would be incorrect. I think it is misleading for Simmons to tag this mattress a Worldclass model since quality and feature wise it is closer the Classic line.Please take a look at my post directly above yours. What allows Simmons to put the "Worldclass" label on the W mattress is the fact that they put 825 coils in a queen whereas their traditional Classic line has 800 coils (the Worldclass line has 980 coils in a queen). So, the extra 25 coils take this mattress outside of the definition of "Classic" and the next category up is "Worldclass," which is where Simmons puts it even though the coil count is nowhere near the coil count found in other Worldclass mattresses.

Hence, it is somewhat of a marketing trick on Simmons' part, which causes a lot of people to conclude that they are getting more mattress for the money.

P.S.
As you can also see from the Macy's link above, Macy's also sells essentially the same mattress for about the same price as the W price after the discount. You can also get additional discounts at Macy's through things like 20% off gift cards but that requires you to know how to use Dealpass, which is YMMV.
