Essential vs. Complete: Which Black Diamond Sleep System Is Right for You?
Two paths to better rest — choose the one that fits your life today, and build toward your dream setup over time.
Why “System Thinking” Matters for Sleep
Great sleep rarely comes from one change — it comes from a smart combination of comfort, support, and environment. The Black Diamond Sleep System is built around that idea. Start with the mattress engineered for IceFlex™ cooling and pressure relief. Then, when you’re ready, pair it with the BedTech BT3000 Adjustable Base for weightless alignment and personalized positions. Finish with breathable bamboo bedding to keep your sleep climate fresh and balanced.

Complete Path Adjustable System |
Pair the Black Diamond Mattress with the BedTech BT3000 Adjustable Base for Zero-Gravity positioning, head/foot elevation, gentle massage, USB charging, and under-bed lighting. Elevation supports circulation, reduces lower-back pressure, and may ease snoring — while IceFlex™ regulates temperature all night. | Recovery-minded sleepers, readers, reflux/snore relief seekers, and anyone who wants personalized comfort at the touch of a button. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the adjustable base to enjoy the Black Diamond Mattress?
No — the mattress alone is a major upgrade thanks to IceFlex™ cooling, pressure relief, and motion isolation. The adjustable base adds personalized elevation and zero-gravity comfort if you want more support.
Will my existing frame work with the BT3000 base?
Most platform or slat frames work as long as the adjustable base fits inside or replaces the rails. Many customers place the BT3000 directly on the floor with its included legs.
Which firmness should I choose for the Black Diamond Mattress?
Side sleepers often love Plush or Medium for shoulder/hip relief. Back sleepers typically prefer Medium or Firm for spinal alignment. If you’re between sizes, Medium is the most versatile.
Which bamboo bundle should I pick?
Start with the Starter Bundle (pillows + sheet set) for an instant climate upgrade. Choose Essential for added duvet comforter, or Complete for a full hotel-level setup with duvet cover and extra pillowcases.
Is everything non-toxic?
Yes. The Black Diamond Mattress uses CertiPUR-US® certified foams and is fiberglass-free. Our bamboo bedding is crafted for breathable, hypoallergenic comfort.
