**Would you recommend this mattress to a friend?** Absolutely! The duality of plushness and support is exceptional, and after years of using a classic spring mattress, I’m a happy convert. I look forward to sinking into the mattress each night, but I never feel like it’s swallowing me or too plush. It offers solid motion retention, so I’ve rarely woken up when my husband gets up for work or goes downstairs to get our toddler out of his crib. The plushness of the mattress is a testament to the brand’s commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing, and the comfortable feel of the quilted top is a major draw. The advanced firmness of the mattress is a definite plus, and I’m excited to experience the luxurious experience of a certified organic mattress.

I look forward to sinking into the mattress each night, but I never feel like it’s swallowing me or too plush. It offers solid motion retention, so I’ve rarely woken up when my husband gets up for work or goes downstairs to get our toddler out of his crib. The sides also have good edge support, so while it feels plush where I’m laying, I’ve never felt any sagging or sinking while sitting on the edge of the mattress.
I would just tell them to splurge on in-home delivery (especially if they have a two-story journey like we did!).
**Does the PlushBeds mattress offer any specific luxury details?** Made in my home state of California, PlushBeds has become known for creating luxury mattresses with sustainable materials and manufacturing practices. The brand has a number of certifications, including Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS), Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) cotton and wool, and GreenGuard Gold. This latex mattress received rave reviews for support and comfort, and I was eager to try the medium firmness, which 80% of PlushBeds customers considered “ideal.” There are an impressive six layers packed into this mattress, each of which is made with organic cotton, organic wool, and organic and natural latex. While this was my first foam mattress, I’ve loved the feel overall and appreciate the peace of mind that comes with the certified organic materials.
**What bed frames does this mattress pair best with?** Since it’s a softer bed, we recommend laying this mattress on a flat, solid frame (like a wooden bed frame) or with a box spring atop any frame of your choosing. This typically helps prevent sagging or dipping in the middle.

This mattress is ideal for back sleepers or anyone who doesn’t like their mattress too soft. Contributor Katarina Kovac can attest that this bed hits all the right spots for back sleepers and then some. “Often gravitating toward a more firm sleeping experience, this mattress was perfect—not the firmest, but it wasn’t too soft to where I sank in,” she says. “The back support was there, and as someone who’s five eleven, that was sincerely appreciated.” As for additional perks? The American Chiropractic Association has endorsed Avocado mattresses since 2020 and the mattress is 100% organic from its materials to production process, which gives Kovac all the more reason to give the bed a five-star approval from me.

Another option for hot sleepers, the Mint mattress from Tuft & Needle uses T&N Adaptive foam with 30% extra heat-wicking graphite and cooling gel beads for additional breathability. On top of all of that, it’s super comfy. “I am a side sleeper and personally prefer a medium-firm, supportive feel, so I went into this test expecting an overly squishy mattress. But the Mint did not disappoint,” says contributor Anna Fixsen in her mattress review. “The invisible support layer is made of cushy gel beads that are distributed evenly. It has just enough give, however, to (dare I quote Goldilocks?) feel just right.” Overall, Fixsen found that she fell asleep faster and better on this mattress than her old innerspring mattress—despite being someone prone to tossing and turning—making this a great option out of all the memory foam mattresses out there.

The Purple Hybrid mattress keeps it a little more lean with only three layers. One of the layers includes Purple’s own proprietary GelFlex Grid, aimed to feel both soft and firm—molding to your pressure points, while still offering optimal support. This balance shone through to contributor Shoko Wanger. “The first time I sat on it, I was shocked at how squishy it felt,” Wanger says. “My toddler son even hopped on with me and immediately said, ‘Bouncy!’ But then, when I lay down, I was surprised again—I wasn’t sinking into it the way I expected I would; instead, I felt buoyant.” In fact, Wanger recommended it felt perfect for someone who prefers a firmer bed, saying “that aforementioned combo of cushiness and extra support is almost addictive.”
