Beautyrest Black Hybrid Series Five XCS Plush review

Series Five XCS Plush sits at the top of the Black Hybrid XCS range. It keeps everything from Series Four XCS and adds 4K Micro Coils above the Triple-Stranded Pocketed Coils, which Beautyrest calls its most premium level of individualized support, plus FORM HD and FORM HD Max Material wrapped in a High-Density Foam Encasement for edge support. BlackICE Max Cooling Technology, which Beautyrest says delivers 30% more cooling power, and split-head sizing carry over from the XCS line. It comes in one feel, Plush, and Beautyrest lists it for side sleepers. On November 11, 2026, Beautyrest.com listed the queen at $4,999, down from a $5,699 compare-at price, and a Twin XL from $4,349. It has the longest feature list in Beautyrest's store, but it costs about $3,200 more per queen than our top pick, so it ranks lower on value.
