RC Willey is best known as a regional furniture retailer, but its mattress lineup—especially the Blue Burrito and Health Care models—gets a lot of attention because the prices look approachable. The real question is whether the comfort and support hold up once the new-mattress excitement wears off.
To answer that, we tested four popular RC Willey options side by side and scored them the same way we score other mattresses in our how we test mattresses process: support, pressure relief, cooling, motion isolation, responsiveness, and edge support. We also paid attention to day-to-day usability—how each bed feels when you sit on the edge, how easy it is to move on, and which sleepers are most likely to like the feel.
Our testing group covered different sleep styles and body types, including Marcus (a heavier back/side sleeper), Jenna (a lighter side sleeper), and Ethan (a combination sleeper). We rotated time on each mattress and compared notes to reach a clearer verdict than a quick store tryout.

Product Overview
| Mattress | Pros | Cons | Ideal For | Price* (queen) | Overall Score |
| Blue Burrito Supreme Hybrid 2.0 | Balanced support with an easy-to-move-on feel; cooler than the all-foam models in this lineup. | Usually the priciest pick here, and the taller profile can feel bulky on some frames. | Active sleepers, heavier bodies, combo sleepers | Mid-range; pricing and promos vary. | 4.6/5 |
| Blue Burrito Visco Gel Memory Foam | Deep, quiet contouring with strong motion isolation; the gel foams help it run cooler than typical memory foam. | Less bounce and a softer sitting edge than the hybrid. | Side sleepers, average-weight couples, guest rooms | Budget to mid-range; pricing varies. | 4.4/5 |
| Health Care Comfort Gel Memory Foam | Comfortable foam hug at a lower price; good motion control for shared beds. | Warmer than the hybrid and the perimeter feels softer when you sit or sleep right on the edge. | Side sleepers under 220 lb, teens, apartments | Budget-friendly; pricing varies. | 4.2/5 |
| Health Care Premier Memory Foam | Simple, firmer feel with the lowest price point in this group; works well for short stays. | Thin comfort layer can feel too firm for pressure points, especially for heavier side sleepers. | Kids, lighter stomach sleepers, occasional guest use | Entry-level; pricing varies. | 3.9/5 |
Scores reflect our hands-on tests across the same criteria. Pricing changes often, so treat any price mentions in this guide as a rough snapshot rather than a guarantee.
Testing Team Takeaways
If you want one RC Willey mattress that can cover the most sleep styles, the Blue Burrito Supreme Hybrid 2.0 was the clear standout. As a hybrid mattress, it stayed supportive under Marcus while still feeling quick to move on—no stuck-in-foam feeling.
If you prefer a memory foam hug, the Blue Burrito Visco Gel was the strongest all-foam performer in our group. It delivered deeper pressure relief and noticeably calmer motion for partners, with the trade-off of a softer edge when sitting.
Health Care’s Comfort Gel felt like the practical middle ground: more contouring than the Premier, but not as balanced as the Supreme Hybrid. The Premier is best viewed as a budget pick for guest rooms, kids, or occasional use rather than a long-term primary bed for most adults.

Use this chart to pick the construction and feel first, then narrow down by sleep position and budget. The hybrid is the most responsive option; the memory foam models lean more into contouring and motion control.
What We Tested and How We Tested It
We treated this lineup like a real rotation, not a quick demo. Each mattress spent multiple weeks in the mix so we could compare feel (including firmness) for different sleep styles and body types, using our how we test mattresses framework.
We scored each bed using consistent criteria: Support for all-night alignment; Pressure relief for shoulder/hip comfort during long side-sleep stretches; and Cooling for heat buildup under bedding, plus quick surface checks after timed rests.
We also tested motion isolation with partner movement and simple bench tests, Responsiveness by tracking how quickly the surface recovered after position changes, and Edge support by sitting, shoe-tying, and sleeping near the perimeter.
For durability and value, we looked at how deeply each mattress compressed in real use and compared that against its construction and price tier. RC Willey’s 100-night comfort guarantee adds a safety net by allowing a one-time reselection after a minimum break-in period.
RC Willey Mattress: Our Testing Experience
Blue Burrito Supreme Hybrid 2.0
Our Testing Experience
This was the most “normal” mattress in the bunch—in a good way. The surface feels supportive right away, with a little cushion on top, and it’s easy to roll and reposition without fighting the bed.
Marcus felt the difference immediately. He got a steadier, more lifted feel through his hips than he did on the all-foam options, and the edge held up better when he slept closer to the perimeter.
If you want the most balanced RC Willey option for a primary bedroom—especially for combination sleepers or hot sleepers—this is the one that made the strongest case in our tests.
Pros & Cons
| Aspect | Pros | Cons |
| Support | Strong lift under hips and lower back | Can feel firm for very light side sleepers |
| Cooling | Airy feel from coils and breathable foams | Hot sleepers may still want lighter bedding |
| Motion | Easy movement, good for active sleepers | Some bounce transfer between partners |
| Edge | Firm edge for sitting and sleeping | Height may feel tall for shorter users |
| Value | Premium hybrid feel at mid-range price | Costs more than RC Willey entry-level foam options |
Blue Burrito Visco Gel Memory Foam
Our Testing Experience
When we unboxed the Blue Burrito Visco Gel Memory Foam, the slower expansion already signaled a different vibe. I pressed my palm into the top and watched the foam hold that print for a moment, then smooth out. For my first night, I started on my side to stress that visco layer. My shoulder settled into a soft pocket, and my neck stayed aligned without extra pillow fuss.
Marcus approached this all-foam bed with suspicion. Heavy, hot sleepers usually distrust thick memory foam. He lay down on his back, then moved to his side. After a few minutes, he said, “This feels dense, not marshmallow soft, and I’m not swimming in heat yet.” Later in the night he did mention some mild warmth, yet nothing like the older memory foam beds that used to roast him.
Jenna and Ethan loved the included pillows as an odd little bonus. Ethan stacked his under his shoulder and started on his side. He described the feel as, “I fall into this, but the middle holds me up.” When he rotated to his back, his hips stayed level, with the deeper core foam resisting extra sink. During couple testing, Jenna lay near the edge while Ethan rolled through his usual patterns. She reported barely any disturbance, especially when he just shifted rather than fully exiting the bed.
Edge support told a different story. When Marcus sat near the corner to tie his shoes, the foam compressed more than on the hybrid. He never touched the floor, yet commented, “This kind of soft edge feels fine for sleeping, not ideal for long sitting.” As far as my lower back, longer nights on my back felt stable. However, when I sat upright to type on a laptop, the soft top let my tailbone slide slightly, which nudged our edge and responsiveness scores.
From the perspective of sleeper fit, this mattress hits a sweet spot for average-weight side sleepers and couples who value pressure relief plus motion isolation more than firm edges or springy bounce. Heavier users who demand maximum hip support may prefer the hybrid.
Pros & Cons
| Aspect | Pros | Cons |
| Pressure Relief | Deep contour around shoulders and hips for side sleepers | Heavier bodies may prefer stronger core lift |
| Cooling | Gel foam and breathable cover help manage heat | Very hot sleepers may still feel mild warmth |
| Motion | Strong isolation for couples and restless sleepers | Limited bounce for people who like springy feel |
| Edge | Comfortable for sleeping near the side | Softer sitting edge, more sink at corners |
| Value | Includes pillows and solid specs at mid-range price | Not the cheapest RC Willey foam option |
Health Care Comfort Gel Memory Foam
Our Testing Experience
Comfort Gel sits between the two Blue Burrito models and the thinner Premier. You get a noticeable foam cradle on your side, especially at the shoulder, without the mattress feeling unstable underneath you.
It also scored well for motion control. Once the surface settled, it stayed quiet, which made it easier for partners to share the bed without feeling every small movement.
If you want a lower-cost foam mattress with a more relaxed, contouring feel, Comfort Gel makes sense—just keep in mind it doesn’t feel as cooling or as strong on edge support as the hybrid.
Pros & Cons
| Aspect | Pros | Cons |
| Pressure Relief | Plush top layers cradle shoulders and hips well | Some sleepers may feel too much sink |
| Support | Adequate core support for light to mid-weight bodies | Heavier users may desire firmer structure |
| Cooling | Gel foam and breathable cover moderate heat | Deeper sink can hold warmth under heavy blankets |
| Motion | Very quiet surface during partner movement | Limited bounce for people who like a springy feel |
| Value | Strong comfort level for a mid-tier price | Sits between budget and premium without flagship features |
Health Care Premier Memory Foam
Our Testing Experience
Premier is the simplest build here, and it feels like it. The surface is firmer and the cushion layer is thinner, so you don’t get the same deep pressure relief as the thicker foam models.
Marcus said it worked best for his stomach-sleeping nights, but felt cramped when he stayed on his side for long stretches. Ethan had a similar take: fine for a night or two, but not his pick for an everyday bed.
This is best treated as a budget solution for kids, guest rooms, and occasional use—or for sleepers who genuinely want a firmer, flatter feel.
Pros & Cons
| Aspect | Pros | Cons |
| Support | Firm, stable feel helpful for stomach sleepers and kids | Limited depth for heavy side sleepers |
| Price | Very accessible price for full and queen sizes | Fewer comfort features than higher lines |
| Cooling | Shallow sink keeps temperature fairly neutral | No advanced cooling tech beyond basic foams |
| Use Case | Works well for guest rooms or short stays | Daily use for heavier adults may feel unforgiving |
Compare Performance Scores of These Mattresses
| Mattress | Overall Score | Support | Pressure Relief | Cooling | Motion Isolation | Durability | Responsiveness |
| Blue Burrito Supreme Hybrid 2.0 | 4.6 | 4.8 | 4.5 | 4.6 | 4.2 | 4.6 | 4.8 |
| Blue Burrito Visco Gel Memory Foam | 4.4 | 4.3 | 4.7 | 4.4 | 4.6 | 4.3 | 3.9 |

| Health Care Premier Memory Foam | 3.9 | 3.9 | 3.7 | 3.8 | 4.0 | 3.9 | 3.8 |
The pattern is simple: Supreme Hybrid is the most balanced all-around, Visco Gel leans into pressure relief and motion control, Comfort Gel is the budget-friendly contour option, and Premier is the firm, entry-level pick for short stays or lighter sleepers.
Best Picks
- Best for active sleepers: Blue Burrito Supreme Hybrid 2.0. This hybrid stayed the easiest to move on in our tests while still keeping the body supported.
- Best cooling foam value: Blue Burrito Visco Gel Memory Foam. For an all-foam memory foam feel, it delivered strong pressure relief and very low motion transfer, without feeling as heat-prone as many foam beds.
- Best budget guest room pick: Health Care Premier Memory Foam. Its firmer, low-profile feel works well for guest rooms, kids beds, and some stomach sleepers, especially for short stays.
How to Choose the RC Willey Mattress?
Start with two questions: do you want bounce or a foam hug , and do you need extra support through your hips and lower back? From there, match thickness and budget to how you actually sleep—side sleepers usually want more contouring, while combination and back sleepers often do better on a steadier, quicker surface.
If you’re a light-weight side sleeper, Visco Gel and Comfort Gel were the easiest fits in our group. They offered the kind of shoulder pocket and hip contour that tends to keep joints calmer through long nights.
For a hot sleeper—or if you share the bed and want a steadier edge—Supreme Hybrid 2.0 is the safest starting point. If you’re a heavier sleeper, the coil core simply held up better in our rotation than the foam-only options.
If you’re furnishing a kid’s room or a guest room and want to keep spending down, Premier Memory Foam is the straightforward, firm option. It’s not the plushest choice, but it did fine for lighter sleepers and short stays.
Limitations
These four models cover the most common Blue Burrito and Health Care feels, but they won’t match every sleeper. If you want an ultra-firm, high-cushion bed for a higher body weight, or a very springy traditional innerspring feel, this lineup may feel limited—even with the hybrid in the mix.

RC Willey’s comfort policy for mattresses is designed around a one-time reselection window rather than an open-ended return.

Always confirm local store details, especially around minimum nights, delivery charges, and foundation requirements, and warranty terms.
FAQs
Are Blue Burrito and Health Care mattresses actually good quality?
In our testing, the Blue Burrito models felt a step more refined, especially the Supreme Hybrid. The Health Care beds are simpler and more budget-driven, but they can still work well if you match the firmness and thickness to the sleeper.
Which RC Willey mattress is best if you’re heavier or need extra support?
Start with the Supreme Hybrid 2.0. The coil core held up better under a heavier tester and kept hips from dropping as much as the foam-only options.
Which option is best for couples?
For the least partner disturbance, Visco Gel had the strongest motion isolation. If you want more bounce for changing positions, Supreme Hybrid is the better compromise—just expect slightly more movement than an all-foam bed.
Do these mattresses sleep cool?
The hybrid ran coolest overall thanks to better airflow. The foam models can still work for many sleepers, but they’re more sensitive to bedding and room temperature—expect a warmer feel than the hybrid.
How does RC Willey’s comfort guarantee work?
RC Willey offers a 100-night comfort guarantee that allows a one-time reselection after a minimum break-in period. Exact requirements and any fees can vary by location, so confirm the details with your store before purchasing.
Is the Health Care Premier Memory Foam good enough for a guest room or kids’ room?
Yes—this is where it made the most sense. It’s firm and straightforward, which works well for short stays and lighter sleepers. For everyday adult use (especially side sleepers with pressure points), the thicker models are usually the safer pick.
