Value-Minded, Capitol Bedding

Capitol Bedding Suttons Bay Cushion Firm

Feel: Firmer cushion-firm

Best for: Back sleepers, stomach sleepers, firm-bed shoppers, and people who want support with only a little surface give.

Why we show this mattress:
The Suttons Bay Cushion Firm is one of the better firm values on our floor, but the name can be a little misleading. Despite having a good amount of upholstery, it has what we sometimes call a “sneaks-up-on-you” firm feel. It feels more cushioned at first than a traditional hard mattress, but the underlying feel is decidedly firm. That being said, it’s still one of the more popular beds in the store.

The firmer Suttons for shoppers who don’t want a lot of sink

The Suttons Bay Cushion Firm is one of the best firm values on the floor, but it needs to be described clearly: it has been come to known as a “deceptively firm”. The word “cushion” can make shoppers expect something softer than it really is.

For the right customer, that firmness is the reason to buy it. This is a mattress for people who want a flatter, steadier surface with just enough give at the top to keep the bed from feeling completely bare.

Comfort and feel

The Suttons Bay Cushion Firm has a cushion-firm feel, but it leans firm. It feels steadier and less plush than many customers expect.

It is not a soft mattress. It is better described as firm with just a bit of surface comfort.

Best for

  • Back sleepers
  • Stomach sleepers
  • Firm-bed shoppers
  • People who want a flatter sleeping surface
  • Customers who want a Capitol mattress at a strong value
  • Shoppers who dislike the feel of thick pillowtops

Construction highlights

  • Quilted cover
  • Milliken silica-based fire barrier
  • 1.8 lb comfort foams
  • Firm convoluted foam layers
  • High-density base foam
  • Handcrafted in Grand Ledge, Michigan
  • Adjustable-base compatible

Support system

The Suttons Bay Cushion Firm uses a Quantum Edge® wrapped coil unit. The coil system gives the mattress a cleaner edge and a more stable overall feel than many lower-priced innerspring beds.

The wrapped coils also help reduce the bouncy feel associated with older connected-coil mattresses.

Important details

  • Cushion-firm feel
  • Firmer-than-it-seems-at-first cushion firm
  • Michigan-made
  • Strong value in the Capitol lineup
  • Better for shoppers who want firmness than shoppers who want plushness
  • Good everyday adult mattress
  • RV Queen size shown on the product page

Our take

The Suttons Bay Cushion Firm is a very useful mattress because it does not pretend to be something it is not. It is firm, locally made, and priced well. For the right person, that combination is hard to beat.
