Construction

At 11.75 inches tall, the flippable Plank extra firm mattress contains 4 layers. High density foam and quilted top layers combine to create support and comfort. An optional cooling layer adds temperature control and prevents overheating.

Extra Firm Side

The extra firm side of the Plank mattress has a .75-inch quilted top layer with patterned stitching. This construction provides an ultra-firm sleep surface. On a firmness scale of 1 to 10, the extra firm side has a rating of 9.5 to 10.5. The next step up in firmness would be sleeping directly on the floor with no comfort cushioning.

Firm Side

The firm side of the mattress has a 1.5-inch quilted top layer with tack-and-jump stitching. Just below the quilted layer is a 2-inch layer of TitanFlex comfort foam. These layers combine to provide a traditional firm sleep surface, with a rating of 7.5 to 9 on a firmness scale of 1 to 10.

Flatter Sleep Surface

Both sides of the Plank mattress provide a firm, flat sleep surface that keeps your spine in a neutral position. This level of support lets your spine stay aligned and prevents pressure on your shoulders and hips. An extra firm or firm mattress helps prevent back pain and posture problems by providing support and pressure relief in these key areas.

High Density Base Foam

After years of use, a mattress can sag in the middle and edges, creating an uneven sleep surface. A 7-inch layer of high density base foam adds stability and durability to your Plank mattress. This layer helps maintain a flat, even surface that keeps your spine in a neutral position.

Optional Cooling Panel

An extra firm mattress absorbs less body heat in the first place, but the Plank mattress goes a step further. An optional TitanCool cooling panel is available for either side of the mattress. Made from premium phase change molecule (PCM) fabric, the breathable cooling layer is stitched into the top mattress panel. When your body rests on the mattress, the PCM fabric combines with the open-cell foam to keep the surface cool on contact.

Part of choosing the right mattress is considering the size of your bedroom and bed, and whether the mattress is for a single sleeper or a couple. The Plank extra firm mattress is available in the following range of sizes:

Lifetime Warranty

A generous limited lifetime warranty covers manufacturer defects according to specific coverage, exclusion, and responsibility details of the related company policy. The warranty begins on the date that you purchase your Plank mattress as the original purchaser, as defined in the policy. You can read for the latest details about the warranty on the company website.

120-Night Trial

The only way to know if a mattress will help you get a good night’s sleep is to actually sleep in it over an extended period of time. The Plank extra firm mattress comes with a 120-day sleep trial. If you decide it’s not the right mattress for you, just let the company know within 30 to 120 days after you receive it. You will be able to return the Plank mattress or exchange it for another mattress.

Plank Extra Firm Mattress Review: Pros and Any Limitations

After our research and review, we believe that the Plank mattress has the following advantages as well as minor limitations.

Support for Your Spine

Does back pain keep you tossing and turning all night? Do you wake up stiff and sore every morning? The right mattress can make a big difference. The Plank extra firm mattress keeps your spine properly aligned and relieves pressure on your hips, neck and shoulders. The extra firm surface can also help promote blood circulation and improve posture.

Customizable Firmness

The mattress firmness that you need today may be different next year. For example, the back pain that led you to choose an extra firm mattress may be gone in a few months. With the flippable Plank mattress, you don’t necessarily have to buy a new mattress when your sleep preferences change. Simply flip the mattress and enjoy the comfort of a firm sleep surface.

Having customizable mattress firmness is also helpful if you have changed sleep position. For example, if you have switched from sleeping on your side to sleeping on your back or stomach, you may need to switch from firm to extra firm for support and alignment.

Sleep Cool

The optimal skin temperature for sleep is 88 degrees. With the average skin temperature at 91 degrees, it’s not surprising that many people feel too warm in bed. The Plank mattress helps keep you cool in two ways. First, the foam layers have an open cell structure that prevents heat retention. Secondly, the optional cooling layer is made from breathable PCM  fabric. These materials combine to keep the mattress at a neutral temperature so that you can sleep comfortably.

Convenient Delivery

The Plank mattress is conveniently delivered to your door in a box. You don’t have to schedule an appointment or take time off from work to wait for a furniture delivery team. After you order your Plank mattress, you can get on with your life and know that the mattress will be in a box on your doorstep when you get home.

Risk-Free 120-Night Trial

A risk-free trial takes some of the pressure off choosing a mattress. With the Plank mattress, you get a 120-night trial period to decide if you want to keep it. You can return the mattress 30 to 120 days after you receive it. Since it can take weeks to fully break in a mattress, the trial period is a valuable feature.

Mattress Decompression and Airing Out

When the Plank mattress is shipped, it is compressed and rolled up to fit inside the box. When you receive the mattress, you will have to wait up to 24 hours for it to decompress and air out. To speed up aeration, you can gently walk across the mattress and keep the mattress in a well ventilated room for the first 24 hours.

Concluding Thoughts on Plank Extra Firm Mattress

The Plank mattress offers customizable support and cooling technology for a comfortable night’s sleep. The flippable mattress has an extra firm side for maximum support for your spine and pressure relief for your joints. If you don’t need extra support, you can flip the mattress to the firm side. The optional cooling layer combines with Plank’s open cell foam layers to prevent overheating.

The mattress is available in a full range of sizes, from twin to king/California king. It is suitable for most foundations that have little or no flex, such as wood or metal foundations, slatted metal and solid wood or metal boxes.

Shipped in a box, the Plank mattress is conveniently delivered to your door. You don’t have to deal with scheduling an appointment for delivery. The only inconvenience is having to let the mattress air out and decompress for 24 hours before you can use it.

The 120-night trial period provides ample time to try the mattress in your home. If it just isn’t working out for you, you can return the mattress within 30 to 120 days after it is delivered. The included limited lifetime warranty is generous in the industry, showing the confidence of the manufacturer in its product. That may help give you peace of mind.

After our research and review, we believe that the Plank extra firm mattress is a quality product of value.
