The PlushBeds Botanical Bliss mattress specs are really unique because we have finally come across an all-natural mattress! Now by the number of mattresses that advertise themselves as organic, eco-friendly, etc, you must be asking yourself, “how can that be?” Well, one of the big tricks in the mattress industry is that these advertisements aren’t […]

When shopping for a mattress, many people look at both Casper and Tuft & Needle. I think both can be great offerings for the right person, and once you understand more about each mattress and your preferences it’s easy to decide between them. I will highlight the most important differences to make the decision process as easy as […]

I wanted to extend to everyone a happy New Year. I’m so thankful for everyone’s interest in and support for this website. It has certainly been a crazy year for the mattress industry, and it has been a lot of fun to be a part of it. What were the highlights of the year for me? […]

The PlushBeds Botanical Bliss mattress is 100% natural latex, so we expect a good bit of spring in the feel. The video shows that this is the case, with the mattress taking shape very quickly after removing my hand. This means that it will be very easy to move around in the mattress at night, […]

The PlushBeds Botanical Bliss mattress holds up well under the motion transfer test. You can see that the object barely moves at all as I roll around on the mattress and push down next to it. The mattress does not perform as well as a high-end memory foam mattress, but significantly better than most spring mattresses. […]

Motion transfer is an important consideration if you sleep with a partner. Most foam mattresses perform well under this test, but we decided to put the Eve mattress on video so that you could see for yourself. As you can see, there is very little motion transfer with the Eve Mattress. This should be a […]

As for firmness, the Eve is actually a bit firmer than I expected, I’d put it at a 7/10 on the firmness scale. The firmness comes with great support, so I think that this mattress would be a great option for back and stomach sleepers, though it may not be the best option for side […]

The Eve Mattress Unboxing is simple and straightforward. My big tip is to start with the mattress on the frame so that you don’t have to move the mattress after it is decompressed (which is more difficult). After that, it’s really just a matter of getting the plastic off the mattress and letting it expand. […]

Many of us who travel frequently have simply become accustomed to sleeping poorly (or not at all) during flights. We’ve gotten used to the mediocre movies showing and the deep envy we feel as we look around the cabin and see our fellow passengers in a deep REM state. However, most people don’t fully explore […]

As you can see, the unboxing process is quite simple! Really just set the mattress on your bed frame, remove the plastic, and let it unfold. Just be careful with those scissors and don’t cut into the mattress. The biggest thing to note is that the Botanical Bliss mattress (100% natural latex) is incredibly heavy. […]

With the ever-increasing number of online-only mattress options coming out, it’s only natural for people to wonder how they compare to one another.

The Lull mattress is slightly firmer than average, offering great comfort and even better support. This is one of the few mattresses that I have tested that I think could work for all sleeping positions (side, stomach, and back). The mattress has a top memory foam layer, so that is the general feel (think Tempurpedic). […]

Though we mostly focus on mattress reviews, we decided to review the Ooroo bed because it is so unique. The Ooroo Bed acts more as an alternative to a futon or air mattress. It folds up to become an ottoman chair, then unfolds to become a mattress. So if you don’t have that guest bedroom, […]

Avena foam is the top layer (comfort layer) of the Leesa mattress.

You can see that the Leesa has a fairly good response time for a foam mattress. The standard “hand print” made famous by Tempur-pedic is a little visible, but it springs up much more quickly. Why is this good? Well the response of the foam makes it so that you can move around in the bed […]
