PlushBeds Mattress Review: All-latex Option for Those Who Prefer Organic Beds (Winter 2022)

PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Mattress Review

The botanical bliss is an all-natural latex mattress that comes in several different heights and firmness levels. The 12-inch medium model is the tallest PlushBeds model available. This eco-friendly mattress could be a great fit for natural and organic shoppers.

Botanical Bliss, a latex bed in a made-to-order box from the PlushBeds factory in California is shipped right to your doorstep. Due to weight restrictions, King and California King sizes may arrive in separate boxes and may require assembly.

The company recommends using only flat surfaces such as platforms or slatted bases due to the weight of the mattress. There should be no more than 2 inches between the slats. You can order the Queen size or larger to allow each side to adjust independently or customize for different levels of firmness.

The cotton knit cover is soft and you can feel the Dunlops elasticity under the wool layer by pressing it lightly. You’ll be able to feel how soft and responsive the comfort layer is, and how it conforms to your body without being too tight like other memory materials.

Latex has some softness, which can be correlated with sagging. Softer layers of latex will hold you deeper than firmer layers. The medium firmness of this model will give you a soft and rocked feeling. It should relieve your pressure points and not make you feel stuck.

We are going to put it through some tests for quality and feel and tell you which sleepers we’d recommend it to at the very end of our review.

Overall Impressions

This is an organic bed. It was handcrafted in the United States and it’s GreenGuard Gold certified.

The bliss is also antimicrobial which is a nice perk as well. The cover is an organic cotton material. The cotton is Global Organic Textile Standard certified. It feels nice and soft to the touch it’s also quilted with some organic New Zealand wool. Wool is naturally temperature regulating and moisture-wicking.

And then below that is a comfort layer of aerated hole-punched Talalay latex. This latex is Global Organic Latex Certified latex so you know that it’s naturally hypoallergenic and it feels soft and springy to the touch.

Then below that is a transition layer made of Dunlop latex. This latex is also aerated and hole punched. The layer is a little bit firmer and going to help ease you down onto the base below that which is also Dunlop latex.

Altogether, these materials give the mattress a nice springy feel and also are naturally cooling. So, hot sleepers should really like this bed. Latex is already naturally cooling. All those hole punches in the mattress are going to promote airflow.

So, we think health-conscious or eco-conscious sleepers might also really like this bed. Overall, we’re impressed with the construction of this mattress.

Firmness

Botanical Bliss can be purchased in two levels of firmness: medium or medium-firm. Medium is a balance of soft, bouncy cushioning with solid support. Mid-firm increases support to make sure you don’t sink into the mattress while providing enough padding to support your body comfortably.

These firmness levels apply to the entire mattress. However, each layer can be made firmer depending on the desired feel. The middle layer is made up of medium, soft and medium-firm layers. Medium-firm layers are soft, medium, and medium firm. Ultra-firm layers are medium, mid-firm, and ultra-firm layers. You can change the order of these layers to suit your preferences.

Motion Transfer

Motion transfer shouldn’t be a problem as the latex in Botanical Bliss is first turned into a foam that molds to your body. This means that you won’t feel bothered if your partner moves during the night or changes their sleeping position. This will prevent your partner from moving to another side of the bed.

Temperature Regulation

Latex mattresses are naturally cool because they don’t retain heat like memory foam. Botanical Bliss is made from 100% natural Dunlop latex. This should help keep you cool overnight. Cooling properties are also provided by the materials used for the cover. The organic cotton cover does not block airflow and absorbs moisture. For example, organic wool regulates your body temperature and is naturally breathable.

Pressure Relief

To cradle heavy areas and prevent joint pain and pressure points, pressure relief is essential. A bed that is too firm can make you feel like you are sleeping on hard rock. It can cause morning pains and even aches and pains. Foam has a reputation for conforming to your body and relieving pressure.

Latex foams are very responsive and envelop your body without feeling restricted. You can adjust the pressure relief you need based on your body type, sleeping position, preferences, and other factors.

Bounce

Memory foam is what most people associate with mattresses that bounce or conform to the body. However, latex mattresses can adapt to your body just as well. Latex mattresses won’t sink or sag as memory foam does. Your Botanical Bliss will hug your body like memory foam mattresses, and it will be bouncy enough for lovemaking.

Edge Support

Botanical Bliss has less edge support than a box spring mattress because there is no metal in memory foam and latex mattresses. It is possible to feel a little sink while sitting or sleeping on the edges of your mattress. This is common with all latex mattresses and all-foam mattresses. However, reviewers noted that the edges are strong and should provide more support than other latex mattresses.

Construction

The following section discusses the most frequently asked questions about Botanical Bliss’s construction, that is the material of construction of the fill, cover, and how the foam is layered.

Materials

Key Features

Some of the key features of the PlushBeds are listed and explained in the following:

• Made from eco-conscious materials

PlushBeds was created to create environmentally friendly, toxin-free products that will make the world a better place. This bed is certified organic cotton, organic latex, and organic wool.

• Several Firmness Options

The Botanical Bliss is available in Medium and Medium-Firm comfort levels. Each level is available in three thicknesses: from 23 cm to 25 cm to 30 cm. You can change the inner layers to change the firmness and feel.

• Bed In A Box

Botanical Bliss, a bed in a box, is custom made and delivered right to your door. Due to weight restrictions, King and California King sizes may arrive in separate boxes and may require assembly.

• Cooling properties

You sleep closer to the surface of the bed, so more of your body is exposed. It helps you stay cool when you sleep on the mattress. To wick away moisture and regulate temperature, the naturally breathable foams have been ventilated and topped with breathable wool and cotton.

• Support edge extraordinaire

The majority of bed-in-a-box brands do not excel in this category. However, the Botanical Bliss is slightly above industry expectations for all-foam mattresses. If you put all of your weight on the edge, the comfort layer will compress onto the support foams below. If you lie on your side, there should be no difference in support compared to lying down in the middle.

• Great motion isolation

In general, memory foam mattresses are rated higher than spring mattresses in this category, while foam beds generally perform better. While not as effective as traditional memory foam, the all-latex mattress does a great job of isolating movement. This bed is ideal for light sleepers who need to share their space with someone who moves a lot.

• High rebound

Latex is much more buoyant than traditional memory foam. This is useful for repositioning sleepers with reduced mobility. This means that you shouldn’t feel stuck in your mattress.

• Ecological certifications

Multiple certifications have been awarded to this mattress, including OEKOTEX. This certifies textiles for safe levels of flame retardants and hazardous chemicals at all processing levels. It also has a GREENGUARD Gold Certification which reflects the world’s strictest emissions standards, an eco-INSTITUTE certification which signifies low levels of hazardous chemicals, and other certifications from the Forest Stewardship Council or Control Union.

Several certifications are also available for materials including USDA organic cotton, wool, latex, and GOTS certified latex. Cotton and wool are GOTS certified, while latex is GOLS certified.

Who Should Get This Mattress?

The Botanical Bliss is customizable so that it can be used by anyone, regardless of their sleeping position or weight. The medium firmness option is for side sleepers and anyone under 125kg. The mid-firm option is suitable for stomach and back sleepers, as well as those who weigh over 130 kg. You can adjust the mattress to be thinner or thicker if you need to.

Botanical Bliss is also recommended for those who find it difficult to stay cool at night due to latex, wool, and cotton. However, they don’t want to sacrifice the comfort of memory foam mattresses. The Botanical Bliss is a great choice for ethical buyers looking to purchase products that are made sustainably. It is suitable for sensitive and allergic skin thanks to all of its non-dangerous and green certifications. Latex is supportive and comfortable, so it is ideal for those who suffer from back pain or joint pain while sleeping.

Below is how the mattress supports sleepers depending on their favorite positions:

• Side sleepers

Because their weight is concentrated in a small area, they are more at risk of developing pressure points. The Medium features a soft comfort layer that hugs the curves to relieve pressure.

• Back sleepers

The comfort layer should fit and support their lower back, while the support layer keeps their spine straight. The Medium may be suitable for light sleepers. However, medium to heavy people may find the Medium too soft. The medium-firm can offer more support to the lumbar spine by removing the first and middle layers. However, dedicated back sleepers may feel more comfortable with the medium-firm.

• Stomach Sleepers

Belly sleepers need a good mattress that supports their hips and spine. The Medium should support most stomach sleepers. However, those with a wider midsection and a heavier stomach will need to be comfortably supported by the Medium.

• Combination sleepers

The natural bounce of the latex and the denser backing layer make it easier to move across the surface. The Medium is ideal for mixed sleepers who prefer to alternate between different sleeping positions.

• Couples

The bed has been designed for couples. These materials are excellent for regulating temperature and wicking away moisture. Latex is known for its ability to absorb movement while providing optimal rebound.

One of the most attractive features for couples is the ability to divide the bed inside. This allows each partner the freedom to customize their bed according to their preferences and sleep needs.

• Big sleepers

The durability of Dunlop latex makes it a popular choice for big sleepers. The Medium will be too soft for most heavy sleepers regardless of their sleeping position. The Medium Firm 30cm model is recommended for those who weigh over 104kg. It offers the best support and durability.

• Light sleepers

The Medium is suitable for people weighing less than 54kg. It allows you to sink deep enough to feel pressure relief and cradle support. Medium is suitable for all sleeping positions. However, stomach and back sleepers may want to try changing the top and middle layers.
