PlushBeds The Royal Bliss European Handcrafted Luxury Mattress Review

Product Description

PlushBeds crafts mattresses featuring a supportive design and plush fibers.  Its Botanical Bliss mattress is one such luxury latex mattress, which I’ve reviewed recently. It doesn’t come with coils though, so I thought of reviewing one of its hybrid mattresses this time. PlushBeds has added a new product to its offering this April 2024 – Royal Bliss Luxury mattress, and this is one that caught my attention. I’ll explain why.

It’s Unique Features

This is handmade in USA displaying European craftsmanship and durability. It’s an all-natural hybrid mattress featuring GOTS-certified organic fibers – alpaca wool, cashmere, Arpico latex, horsetail hair, organic wool and cotton. Further, it has a Calico Coil Spring System that ensures spinal alignment and minimal motion transfer. Finally, the use of horse tail and alpaca layers promotes breathability, airflow and moisture control.

That’s about its unique features. Now I’ll talk about its variants.

Royal Bliss comes with 2 variants and two firmness options—Medium and Medium-Firm. This is so as to align well with various sleep preferences.

It’s offering a lifetime warranty and a 100-night money-back guarantee, and that’s quite a deal to me for an eco-friendly latex mattress. As for safety concerns and quality Royal Bliss holds certifications from GreenGuard Gold and eco-INSTITUT, ensuring a healthy sleep environment.

Now that you know about this mattress in short, I’ll be providing a detailed mattress review below.

I’ve framed this in a Question-and-Answer format. Let’s start with the first question.

Q1. What is unique about PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress? Does it provide superior cooling, comfort, back support, and pressure relief?

Cooling

• PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress provides cooling, thanks to its carefully selected natural materials. The GOTS-certified organic wool acts as a natural temperature regulator, ensuring you stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
• Additionally, I find the horse tail layer serves as a natural ventilator, promoting airflow and channeling away moisture. These features work together to create a dry and comfortable sleep surface, ideal if you sleep warm.

Comfort

• Royal Bliss is crafted with comfort in mind, with layers of luxurious fiber and hypoallergenic materials. I find its combination of cashmere, organic cotton, and alpaca commendable as it delivers softness and a plush sleeping surface.
• Each mattress is custom-made with European craftsmanship, including ‘hand side stitching’ and ‘compression tufting’. This is to minimize pressure and enhance your sleeping experience.

Back Support

• There’s something unique that caught my attention when I was reviewing this mattress.  It has a Calico Coil Spring System, and this can deliver back support effortlessly.
• Each coil in this system is individually hand-wrapped and reacts independently to your weight and body movement, providing targeted firmness where needed.
• I recommend this design as it can ensure optimal spinal alignment and correct postural support. These are crucial for a healthy back and if you are experiencing recurrent back pain. Its structural design and the inclusion of organic Arpico latex layer, can deliver precise support tailored to your body’s needs.

Pressure Relief

• If you seek a pressure relieving mattress, this mattress does provide a well-balanced solution.
• Its medium variant is made for side sleepers, to provide pressure relief near their shoulder and hip areas.
• Additionally, a combination of organic latex and calico coils helps it to conform to your body’s contours. This works by distributing your weight evenly thereby alleviating all your pressure points. Thus it reduces your likelihood of feeling discomfort and pain, and you wake up to a more relaxed self.

Q2. How firm is PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress?

I have mentioned this in the introduction that PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress is available in two firmness options – Medium and Medium-Firm.

I’ll discuss on them separately.

• Medium Mattress Model

Its Medium variant, rated 5.5 in firmness is made typically for side sleepers. There’s a soft, conforming feeling that offers maximum pressure relief in the shoulder and hip areas. This option is favored by a majority of side sleepers for its balanced combination of softness and support.

So,, if you are a side sleeper, you should opt for this variant’s firmness.

• Medium-Firm Mattress Model

Its Medium-Firm variant, rated 7-8 in firmness, is mostly made for back and stomach sleepers who need more support.  If you are a back sleeper this firmer option will maintain spinal alignment and provide robust support. In my option this firmness is for those who prefer a more responsive sleep experience.

You can try out from either of these firmness options to find a perfect balance of comfort and support for your specific sleep style.

Q3. How thick is PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress?

PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress has a thickness of 14 inches, offering a substantial profile that contributes to its plushness and support.

Q4. Is PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress safe?

Yes, with all its certifications, I find that Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress does provide a healthy sleep environment.

First, I’d like to detail on its certifications and explain what each certification refers to.

This hybrid mattress makes use of GOTS-certified organic materials, including organic wool, organic cotton, and organic latex. This means that the mattress meets stringent standards for purity and non-toxicity.

Additionally, the mattress is GreenGuard Gold certified, ensuring that it emits low levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and is safe for indoor air quality.

These certifications and standards make Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress a safe choice for a healthy sleep environment.

Q5. What sizes are available for PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress?

PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress is available in the following sizes:

• Twin: 38” x 75”
• Twin XL: 38” x 80”
• Full: 54” x 75”
• Queen: 60” x 80”
• King: 76” x 80”
• Cal King: 72” x 84”

These size options cater to a range of preferences and bedroom dimensions, ensuring that customers can find the right fit for their needs.

Q6. Briefly discuss PlushBed’s policy on shipping, delivery, risk-free trial, and warranty.

I’ll be talking about serious matters here. Before you get a new mattress, I recommend you always have a thorough read about its warranty and policies.

PlushBeds offers these policies to ensure its customers remain satisfied.

Pros & Cons

Q1. Who would you recommend PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress to?

Pros

• Side sleepers who prefer a softer, pressure-relieving surface (Medium variant).

• Eco-conscious individuals looking for mattresses made from organic latex and sustainable materials.
• Those who prioritize cooling and airflow for a comfortable sleep environment.
• Customers who value a generous lifetime warranty and 100-night risk-free trial for making the best of their investment.

Q2. Who should avoid PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress?

Cons

• The mattress is priced at a premium level compared to some other latex hybrid options in the market.
• May not provide the hugging sensation typical of memory foam mattresses, which some sleepers prefer.
• The mattress’s weight may be a consideration during setup or moving.

Firmness

What do you understand from a mattress’s firmness? Is it that important a factor to consider?

By firmness it means how soft or firm a mattress feels when you lie down on it. It’s like how a bed responds when you press down on it. The feel of a mattress is how it feels against your body, like if it’s hugging you or if you feel more on top of it.

Yes, I’d say firmness is an important factor. Typically, because it affects how comfortable your mattress feels when you’re sleeping in your preferred sleeping position. Mattresses can have different feels, from plush and soft to firm and supportive, and finding the right firmness/feel is important for your sleep.

It’s Variants

In this mattress review I’ll detail on the two distinct firmness options that Royal Bliss offers to cater to different sleeping styles.

1. Medium Variant

• Firmness Rating: Rated approximately 5.5 on the firmness scale
• Suitable Sleeping Style: Ideal for side sleepers who prefer a softer, more conforming surface. This variant provides maximum pressure relief in the shoulder and hip areas, promoting a comfortable sleep posture for side sleepers.

2. Medium-Firm Variant:

• Firmness Rating: Rated between 7-8 on the firmness scale
• Suitable Sleeping Style: Suited for back and stomach sleepers who require firmer support without sacrificing comfort. This variant maintains spinal alignment and provides robust support, making it ideal for those who need extra support in these sleeping positions.

With these 2 firmness options, PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress ensures that different sleepers can find the right balance of comfort and support based on their preferred sleeping style.

Material & Construction

Q1. What are the unique technology, design, and materials used in the construction of PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress?

I’ve acknowledged this before in this mattress review that PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress incorporates several unique technologies in this mattress design.

I’ll breakdown the layers and eco-friendly materials used in its construction.

Rating

Repositioning

Q1. How would you rate PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress from a repositioning & responsiveness perspective? 

From a repositioning and responsiveness perspective, PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress performs remarkably well.

Repositioning

Royal Bliss’s design, including the Calico Coil Spring System and organic latex layers, allows for easy repositioning without feeling stuck. This is beneficial for sleepers who tend to change positions during the night.

Responsiveness

The mattress responds well to body movements, providing support and comfort in various sleeping positions. The combination of organic latex and Calico Coils ensures that the mattress contours to the body’s curves while maintaining a supportive feel, enhancing overall responsiveness.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

Q2. How would you rate PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress for providing comfort and pressure relief to sleepers? 

I’ll rate Royal Bliss Luxury pretty good when it comes to providing comfort and pressure relief to its sleepers.

Comfort

It features a combination of GOTS-certified organic wool, cashmere, and organic latex layers to create a plush and luxurious feel. Sleepers often experience a comfortable and supportive surface that conforms to their body contours, promoting a restful sleep experience.

Pressure Relief

Royal Bliss’s smart design and its European craftsmanship is noteworthy here. By including the Calico Coil Spring System and organic latex layers, offers excellent pressure relief. The coils conform to the body’s natural shape, while the latex provides cushioning and support, particularly in areas like the shoulders and hips.

This targeted pressure relief is beneficial for reducing discomfort and promoting better sleep quality.

Cooling & Temperature Control

Q3. How would you rate the cooling and overall temperature control characteristics of the PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress?

Cooling

I’ll now jot down the features that contribute to this mattress’s cooling properties.

• GOTS-Certified Organic Wool: Acts as a natural temperature regulator, helping to keep you cool in summer by wicking away moisture.
• Organic Calico Coils: Enhance airflow within the mattress, reducing heat buildup and promoting a cooler sleep surface.
• Horse Tail Layer: Channels moisture away, contributing to improved airflow and a cooler sleeping environment.

Temperature Control

A combination of organic wool, breathable materials, and design contributes to effective temperature control throughout the night.

The mattress’s design allows for unrestricted airflow and moisture absorption, ensuring a cool, dry, and comfortable sleep experience regardless of the season.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

Q4. Does PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress provide reasonable motion isolation when sharing a bed with others?

Yes, PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress offers reasonable motion isolation, especially compared to traditional innerspring mattresses. The combination of its Calico Coil Spring System and organic latex layers helps to absorb and minimize motion transfer across the mattress.

This means that movements on one side of the bed are less likely to disturb a partner on the other side, promoting better sleep quality for couples or individuals sharing the bed.

However, it’s worth noting that while the mattress provides good motion isolation, it may not completely eliminate all motion transfer, especially with more significant movements.

Edge Support

Q5. How would you rate the edge support of PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress?

The edge support of PlushBeds Royal Bliss Luxury Mattress is rated as above average. The mattress features a design that includes hand-side stitching and reinforced edges, contributing to enhanced edge support.

This means that when sitting or lying near the edges of the mattress, there is less likelihood of feeling like you might roll off or experience significant compression.

The sturdy construction and supportive materials used in the Royal Bliss mattress provide a stable and consistent sleep surface across the entire mattress, including the edges. This mattress’s edge support is pretty reliable and supportive, adding to overall comfort of the mattress.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

When choosing the ideal mattress firmness, I recommend you to consider both your sleeping position and body type.

Sleeping Style

• Side Sleepers: Typically benefit from a softer mattress (medium to medium-soft) that allows for better contouring to the hips and shoulders, reducing pressure points.
• Back Sleepers: Need a balance between support and comfort, often finding medium to medium-firm mattresses suitable for maintaining proper spinal alignment.
• Stomach Sleepers: Generally require a firmer mattress (medium-firm to firm) to prevent the hips from sinking too deeply and causing spinal misalignment.

Body Type

• Lightweight Individuals: Tend to prefer softer mattresses as they may not sink as much into firmer surfaces, finding medium to medium-soft mattresses comfortable.
• Average Weight Individuals: Have more flexibility but often find medium to medium-firm mattresses suitable, providing a balance of support and comfort.
• Heavyweight Individuals: Benefit from firmer mattresses (medium-firm to firm) to prevent excessive sinking, maintain proper support, and avoid spinal misalignment.

You must always consider both factors to choose a mattress. That way you’ll choose a mattress that provides adequate support, proper spinal alignment, and optimal comfort based on your individual preferences and needs.

Side Sleepers

• Medium Variant: I’d advise this mattress model for side sleepers due to its softer feel (rated around 5.5 in firmness). It provides well-balanced pressure relief to your shoulders and hips, aligning the spine properly and reducing discomfort.
• Medium-Firm Variant: While not the first choice for side sleepers, the medium-firm option (rated 7-8 in firmness) can still be suitable for side sleepers who prefer a slightly firmer surface. It offers good support to prevent sinking too deeply into the mattress.

Back Sleepers

• Medium Variant: For back sleepers this variant offers a balance of softness and support, making it suitable for many. It cradles your lumbar region while supporting the rest of the body. This helps to alleviate your back pain on prolonged use.
• Medium-Firm Variant:  If you are a back sleeper who requires more support to maintain proper spinal alignment then I’ll ask you to opt for this firmer variant. The firmer surface prevents excessive sinking, providing adequate support to your lower back.

Stomach Sleepers

• Medium Variant: I would not recommend this for most stomach sleepers, as it may allow the hips to sink too much, causing spinal misalignment.
• Medium-Firm Variant: I would highly recommend this firmness option if you are a stomach sleeper. You would then need a firmer surface to keep the spine aligned. It prevents excessive sinking of the midsection, reducing strain on the lower back.

To sum up this mattress review, I found PlushBed’s new Royal Bliss model a versatile and well-designed eco-friendly mattress. I find that it’s suitable for a wider range of sleeping styles. Its Medium variant is especially meant for side and back sleeping, while Medium-Firm Variant is better suited for back and stomach sleepers who need firmer support.

It was released on this year’s Earth Day 2024, and with its European craftsmanship and organic product line it does due justification as an Earth-friendly mattress.
