I've slept on some pretty hard beds at Disney (AKL DVC Jambo House) and on some pretty super comfy great beds (Grand Floridian).
What have been your experiences with the beds at Disney? Does the comfort of the bed make a difference when you chose a hotel?
To me most of the beds are comfy and I can not say I really notice much difference in them. The only two that have stuck out in all our visits are... one in Animal Kingdom Jambo House (DVC one bedroom) that squeeked every time one of us moved, and the beds in the Contemporary would get my vote for the best for comfort.
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks the beds at Jambo House are hard
This past trip we stayed at AllStar Music and I remember reading someone saying the AllStar resort beds are harder and not as comfty, so I was a little worried about sleeping comfortable. However, I have to say, I did not have any problems! I slept comfortably and really well every single night. Maybe it was because I was extremely exhausted by the time my head hit the pillow, but I have no complaints about those beds! 
The beds in Alligator Bayou at POR are super noisy. I had some insomnia and I was really uncomfortable one night and was tossing and turning just trying to get comfortable, wondering what my parents in the adjoining room were thinking. Thankfully, DH can sleep through ANYTHING, so it was not a bother to him.
As far as comfort, I can't say that I have ever thought about it one way or another.
I have been wondering if all the pull out beds are the same. We have only used one at SSR, and it was not your standard flimsy mattress. You couldn't feel the bars in the bed at all. I am hoping that the same thing is true at BWV.

Twice I've actually slept on the couch twice rather than in those beds. I just could not get comfortable, it felt like I was laying on the floor only higher.
I like a fairly firm mattress and a pillow that's flat as a pancake. It's been years, but I think the mattress covers at the Dolphin were too cushy for my tastes. Old Key West was better, but still a little too cushy. Maybe I would like those hard beds at Jambo House.
My biggest complaint at most hotels/resorts, including those at WDW, is the pillows. So big and fluffy. I hate that. I usually sleep face down with my forehead barely on the pillow, just enough so my nose is slightly elevated off the mattress and I can breathe properly. Can't do that with a big old fluffy pillow.

You might! However you would still have the big fluffy pillow. Now, I like a big fluffy pillow, but these are sort of firm and fluffy so your head doesn't really sink into them much. It's just kinda weird. Bring your own.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates these pillows. I like to "mash" my pillows around and get them into just the right shape - that's not happening with Disney pillows. We fly, so I can't bring my own. 
I've heard that the mattresses at Pop are hard - can anyone confirm that? DH will be thrilled if they are, me, not so much. This will be our first time at POP in May - I can't wait. Oh - and we got Mickey Mail yesterday!!

Time marches on. Eventually you realize it's doing it across your face.
I would have to say the worst beds were the pirate themed room ones at carribean beach. They are not meant for adults. The matresses are thin with no box spring. We barely slept at all. We also had a bit of a problem with the cabins at Fort wilderness. The double bed in the bedroom was horrible BUT believe it or not the murphy bed in the living room was wonderful. I think it had a memory foam mattress. We found the beds at all star music to be quite comfortable. Both of us had a great nights sleep there. I also like the beds at Port Orleans french quarter. We had a king size bed at Coronado and found it not so great.
When we stay at any Disney resort, if the bed is too firm, we request these egg-crates sponge type padding's & extra pillows, it really makes a difference!

Not true! I love a cushy plush mattress and I slept great at Pop. Nothing to worry about.

I feel the exact same way! Everyone thinks I'm crazy with the pillow thing; at home I sleep on these old pillows I've had for years and my fiance keeps trying to get me to throw them out 
But I really don't like fluffy hotel pillows (or really new pillows at all): so hard for me to sleep on!

Usually I'm so exhausted I could sleep standing up, so I never really notice the beds. My wife checks em for cleanliness and critters and that's all she wrote. 20 seconds of Must-Do Disney and I'm asleep.

You'll have to let me know! We're planning on staying there on our next trip and my sisters will be using the pull out bed.

Our beds at the Beach Club were very hard but the pillows were nice and mushy. I think the beds at Port Orleans French Quarter were much more comfortable than the Beach Club (which is way more expensive)........go figure! Still wonderful resort but bed was rock hard........ugh!

I certainly will! We aren't going until Sep/Oct, so you may have to remind me. I am old and my memory is not my friend.

Just got home from Jambo, and the bed was OK, but not as good as the ones I have experienced in Marriott hotels. However, I am with you guys...I am so beat at night that it does not matter for very long. And the awesome Jambo room made up for it. 
I think the beds at POFQ are super comfy and I love that they are queen size now!
I am glad you made it safely to your GA home. Just think in no time you will be back at your Disney home.

This is good news, as I'm staying there next February. I've only stayed at Pop and we've never had a problem. Just sort of average. Beds have always been somewhat creaky though.

thank you Pirategirl! It was an incredible trip, and I will get a trip report of some kind out soon. It took a LONGGG time to get home yesterday with all the spring break traffic. A trip that I can usually do comfortably in 8 hours, counting stops, took over 10. But worth it!
The best bed I have slept on is the one in our RV while parked at Fort Wilderness!!
The Contemporary beds are like sleeping on a cloud! I do think they are the most comfortable we ever slept on at WDW.
Boardwalk Villa beds are awesome. Just back from our trip and hubby said it's the best hotel mattress he's ever slept on...anywhere. I agree. There is a major difference in the All Star Resorts beds vs. BWV. All Star bed was small (double), hard, and the sheets were so stiff they must've sprayed them with a bottle of starch!!! Sheets at BWV were fluffy and soft...
I vaguely remember beds at POFQ and Caribbean Beach....
The Wilderness Lodge Villa beds were ok, a little firmer than I like but not bad. I think I've decided that the more exhausted I feel, the more comfortable ANY bed is. LOL!

Do we have any additional WDWFG intelligence on the quality of the BWV pull out beds? We got a one bedroom for April when we take my parents and we're certainly not going to make them sleep on the pullout, so we'll be enjoying those accommodations. 
I was going to book a 2BR, but it's a lot of points to go in April, so I figured we can slum it on and pullout for four nights. I can sleep anywhere and I've never met a hotel bed I didn't sleep like a rock on, but DH is a very fussy sleeper, so I'm a little nervous about this situation! LOL.

We just got back from staying at the Wilderness Lodge. Lovely resort but the beds are hard as rocks. So far, their beds and the Beach Club's have been very uncomfortable. Why would a deluxe resort have such awful beds?

I don't have any first hand experience with the BWV pull out. However if you have trouble, you can always give the front desk a call and see if there is anything they can do. Maybe some extra blankets to cushion it, or a couple more pillows.
When we stay at any Disney resort, if the bed is too firm, we request these egg-crates sponge type padding's & extra pillows, it really makes a difference!
Just wanted to throw my 2 cents into this discussion! I am not an expert on Disney resort beds (having never stayed on property...until later this year!!), but I am slightly picky about mattresses in general. Because we are staying in the Ft Wilderness Cabins, I read some reviews on their sleeping arrangements and found that a few people thought some of these beds were not the comfiest. However, after reading through this thread, I called housekeeping (mousekeeping?) and asked if eggcrate foam pads were available for all beds on property and was told that they were...you just have to request them Not that this will make a rock-hard bed into a heavenly cloud, but it made me feel much better!
So keep this in mind, and when in doubt, just call housekeeping!
And thanks Emilio for the tip!
