Lull Premium Mattress Construction
The Lull Premium Mattress is designed to offer ample support without sacrificing comfort. Read on to learn more about the construction of this mattress.
Quilted Memory Foam Cover
First, there’s the 1” quilted memory foam cover with hexagonal top-tick. The open-cell foam enhances the contouring and cushioning effects of the other comfort layers. It also prevents overheating by allow air to circulate through the foam. The cover has a neutral color that is easily concealed by sheets.
Cooling Comfort Layer
Speaking of keeping cool, the next layer of memory foam is infused with cooling gel beads. This 2” layer draws heat away from your body and provides pressure relief. It also helps maintain proper spine alignment.
Fast Response Transition Layer
A 2” layer of medium-firm foam adds support and durability. This highly responsive foam evenly distributes motion and eases the transition to the high-density base layer. Like the previous layers, the transition layer helps maintain spinal alignment.
Durable Base Layer
A foundation layer of high-density foam prevents sagging and enhances the lifespan of the mattress. This 7” layer adds support to the comfort layers and durability to the Lull Premium Mattress.

Premium Cover
The Premium cover gives the Lull Premium Mattress an attractive finish. With channel stitching and a neutral color, the cover won’t show beneath sheets.
Medium-Firm Feel
The Lull Premium Mattress combines support and comfort for a medium-firm feel. That’s a rating of 5-7 on a firmness scale of 1 to 10, with 10 the firmest. A medium-firm mattress is generally a good choice for back and stomach sleepers. It may be a bit too firm for lighter weight side sleepers, but that ultimately depends on personal preference.
Premium Mattress Size Selection
All sizes of the Lull Premium Mattress measure 12” high. The mattress is available in the following standard sizes:
- Twin: 38” x 75”
- Twin XL: 38” x 80”
- Full: 54” x 75”
- Queen: 60” x 80”
- King: 76” x 80”
- California King: 72” x 84”
Lull Premium Mattress Review: Pros and Any Limitations
Our team has researched and reviewed the Lull Premium Mattress. In our opinion, it’s advantages and any limitations are as follows:
Contouring Comfort Without Sinking
Four layers of foam provide contouring comfort along with plenty of support. The quilted memory foam cover and comfort layer cradle your body and relieve pressure in your spine and joints.
Made of medium-firm foam, the transition layer keeps your spine properly aligned. This firmer layer is important because it prevents your hips, shoulders, and midsection from sinking into the mattress and throwing your back out of alignment.
Finally, the high-density base layer adds durability and more support. As it prevents sagging, it maintains the evenly distributed support and comfort of the previous three layers.
Lets You Sleep Cool
Advanced cooling technology lets you enjoy ultra-comfortable memory foam without waking up hot and sweaty. First, the quilted cover is made of breathable, open-cell foam. Unlike traditional memory foam this layer won’t trap body heat. Air flows through the breathable foam, carrying heat away from the mattress.
Just below the quilted cover is a memory foam layer that keeps you cool. Infused with gel beads, this comfort layer draws away heat. We like how the comfort layers keep you cool as they cradle you to sleep.
Great for Back and Stomach Sleepers
The Lull Premium’s medium-firm feel is ideal for those who sleep on their stomach or back. These sleep positions require enough support to prevent the midsection from drooping lower than the rest of the body. Thanks to the responsive transition layer and high-density foam base, the mattress keeps your spine and midsection aligned.
If you sleep on your side, you may find the mattress a little too firm. Of course, the best firmness level for an individual is a matter of personal preference.
Safety Certifications
It’s good to know that the mattress you sleep on is made of planet-friendly, nontoxic materials. The Lull Premium Mattress has received multiple safety certifications and sustained memberships. The CertiPUR-US® certification means that the foams in the mattress are free of ozone depleters as well as harmful chemicals and heavy metals.
Lull is a member of the Sustainable Furnishing Council® and the Mattress Recycling Council®. These memberships show a commitment to reduced carbon footprint, lower emissions, and efficient packaging.
Conveniently Delivered In a Box
Who doesn’t appreciate a little convenience when shopping for the best mattress in a box? Instead of driving from store to store and waiting around for a delivery team, all you have to do is wait for your Lull Premium Mattress to arrive in a box.
According to their website, Lull uses innovative compression technology when preparing the mattress for shipment. The process preserves the integrity of the foam and ensures optimal bounce-back after unboxing.
You may have to wait a bit before using your new Lull Premium Mattress. Most foam mattresses require up to a few hours to expand to full size. There may also be a slight, harmless odor that should dissipate after a few hours of airflow out.
Generous 365-Night Sleep Trial
It can take at least 30 days to adjust to a new mattress — much longer than a few minutes in a furniture showroom. We’re impressed with Lull’s 365-might trial period. You get an entire year to try your mattress at home, taking much of the stress out of buying a mattress.
Lull recommends a 30-day break-in period before you decide whether to keep the mattress. If the Premium Mattress just isn’t working for you during the 365-night trial, Lull will arrange a free pickup and give you a refund.
Lifetime Warranty
We also think you’ll like the Lifetime Warranty that comes with the Lull Premium Mattress. The warranty covers manufacturing defects such as a damaged cover or visible indentations deeper than 1.5”. Defects must not be caused by improper use or handling of the mattress.
If Lull finds that your mattress has a qualifying defect, the company will repair or replace the mattress. We recommend reading the warranty terms before buying, because a warranty policy can change at any time.
Concluding Thoughts on the Lull Premium Mattress
The Lull Premium Mattress combines four foam layers of varying firmness to create a medium-firm mattress. Using advanced memory foam and cooling technologies, the mattress stays cool as it offers comfort and support.
We like the combination of memory foam with responsive transition foam and high-density base foam. The result is a medium-firm mattress that helps maintain spine alignment as it cushions your body. We think that back and stomach sleepers will find this to be an optimal combination. The supportive transition and base layers offset the contouring layers with support and stability.
As the memory foam contours to your body, cooling materials prevent overheating. The quilted memory foam cover is made with breathable, open-cell foam, while the memory foam comfort layer contains cooling gel beads. The layers of foam draw away heat and regulate temperature all night.
These foam layers are good for the planet as well as for your comfort. CertiPUR-US® certification means that the foams need strict safety and environmental standards. Lull is also a member of the Sustainable Furnishing Council® and Mattress Recycling Council®.
Convenience is always welcome, so we think you’ll appreciate having your Lull Premium Mattress shipped in a box, directly to your door. Receiving your mattress in a box means less hassle for you. Within a few hours, a foam mattress is usually fully expanded and ready to use.
Lull stands by their mattress in two ways: a 365-night sleep trial and a limited lifetime warranty. The sleep trial is much longer that mother trial periods and gives you a chance to be sure about your purchase. The lifetime warranty recognizes that even the best mattress in a box can occasionally have manufacturing defects. We applaud Lull’s willingness to back their product in this way.
Our research and review leads us to believe that the Lull Premium Mattress is a quality mattress in a box. In our opinion, it offers value to consumers.
Titan Plus Luxe Mattress Review
Main Features
We have researched the Titan Plus Luxe hybrid mattress. In our opinion, the mattress has the following main features:
- Supports up to 1,000 pounds
- Gel memory foam layer
- Energex transition layer for enhanced support
- TitanCaliber coil core
- High-density foam base
- Optional cooling panel
- Shipped in a box to your door
- 120-night trial
Construction
Designed with the plus-size sleeper in mind, the Titan Plus Luxe hybrid mattress measures 13 inches high and supports up to 1,000 pounds. Layers of foam, gel and coils provide support, contouring and temperature control. The following sections explain how the mattress is constructed.
Firmness
The Titan Plus Luxe hybrid mattress provides medium support. On a firmness scale of 1 to 10, it has a rating of 5 to 7. This firmness level allows contouring along with pressure relief to create a comfortable sleep experience for plus-size and non-plus-size sleepers.
Quilted Gel Memory Foam Layer
The support and comfort begin with the 1-inch quilted top layer. Gel memory foam prevents the top layer from retaining body heat as it prevents body impressions. Temperature control and support from this layer help keep you cool and comfortable.
TitanFlex Comfort Foam
Next, a 2-inch layer of patented TitanFlex foam responsively contours to the shape of your body. The medium firm memory foam relieves pressure in areas that need it most, such as shoulders, back and neck. For couples, each partner will have the contouring and pressure relief that they need.

See Buyer Reviews
Energex Transition Layer
Energex transition foam provides one more layer of contouring and support. The 1-inch layer is an additional source of pressure relief for your joints. It enhances compression support while maintaining a medium firmness sleep surface. Again, this feature helps create a comfortable sleep surface for a plus-size sleeper and a non-plus-size partner.
TitanCaliber Coil Core
At the heart of the Titan Plus Luxe hybrid mattress is an 8-inch core of up to 1,032 encased coils. Around the perimeter of the mattress, the coils have a higher gauge for edge support. Since all of the coils are individually encased, the core layer provides motion isolation. The coil system also allows air flow, which helps keep the mattress cool.
High-Density Foam Base
Additional durability is provided by a 1-inch high density foam base. Along with added edge support, this layer supports the coils as they compress. The high-density foam helps prevent sagging in all areas of the mattress, including the edges.
Optional Cooling Top Panel
You can choose to include an optional cooling panel with your Titan Plus Luxe mattress. The panel is sewn onto the surface of the mattress to help moderate temperatures and keep the surface cool on contact. To select this feature, check the box next to “add cooling top panel” on the Titan Plus Luxe product page.
Sizes
The Titan Plus Luxe mattress is available in a full range of sizes. You can choose the right mattress size for your home from this selection:
- Twin
- Twin XL
- Full
- Queen
- King
- California King
- Split California King
Works With Many Types of Foundations
A variety of foundation systems will work fine with the Titan Plus Luxe mattress, as long as they have little or no flex. The right choice will also depend on your personal taste. The following types of foundations will support the Titan Plus Luxe hybrid:
- Wood or metal platforms
- Box spring
- Slatted with no more than 4 inches between slats
- Wood or metal box foundations
Delivered in a Box
The Titan Plus Luxe mattress is shipped to your home in a box. There’s no need to make an appointment with a delivery driver or set-up team. As you go about your day, the mattress will be delivered directly to your door.
120-Night Trial
It can take weeks to get used to a new mattress. For example, a mattress can feel too firm until you’ve had about 30 days to break it in. That’s why the Titan Plus Luxe mattress comes with a 120-night trial. The risk-free trial period begins on the day you receive the mattress, but you must try the mattress for at least 30 days. If you decide not to keep the Titan Plus Luxe, you can return it within 30 to 120 days after the delivery date.
10-Year Warranty
The Titan Plus Luxe mattress is backed by a full 10-year warranty. Besides manufacturing defects, coverage includes early deterioration and wear that occur despite proper handling, such as
- Deteriorating cell structure in foam layers
- Splitting or cracking of mattress materials
- Impressions greater than 1 inch deep
You can read up-to-date, detailed terms of the 10-year warranty on the company website.
Titan Plus Luxe Mattress Review: Pros and Any Limitations
After our research and review, we believe that the Titan Plus Luxe hybrid mattress has the following advantages and limitations.
Enhanced Support
The Titan Plus Luxe mattress is constructed to provide both comfort and support to the plus-size sleeper. The top gel memory foam layer combines with the TitanFlex memory foam and Energex transition foam to relieve pressure and prevent back and joint pain. These features help keep your spine aligned so you can sleep comfortably and wake up without feeling stiff.
Temperature Control
Thanks to a breathable coil core and a cooling gel top layer, you don’t have to wake up overheated or sweaty. For even more temperature control, you can select the optional cooling top panel on the product page. This feature keeps you cool on contact as it moderates the mattress temperature.
Comfort for Plus-Size and Non-Plus-Size Sleepers
Non-plus-size sleepers can also benefit from the Titan Plus Luxe contouring and pressure relief features. The Energex transition layer combines with the high density foam layer to prevent compression and sagging. The medium firmness and memory foam create a balance between support and cushioning that will help both the plus-size sleeper and partner get a good night’s sleep.
Motion Isolation
The Titan Plus Luxe mattress core provides motion isolation. which is a helpful feature for couples. When one partner moves, the individually encased coils limit the motion to a small area of the mattress. With the Titan Plus Luxe mattress, you don’t have to worry about waking your partner when you get out of bed at night.
120-Night Trial
It takes at least 30 days to break in a mattress and decide if it’s comfortable for you. The 120-night trial period takes some of the pressure off choosing a mattress. You and your partner can take your time testing the support, contouring and temperature control features of the Titan Plus Luxe mattress. If it’s just not working for you, just contact the company and return the mattress within 30 to 120 days after delivery.
Convenient Delivery to Your Door
Speaking of delivery, the Titan Plus Luxe is conveniently shipped in a box to your door. On delivery day, you can go to work and run errands as usual. There’s no need to wait at home for a delivery and setup team. All you have to do is take the box from your doorstep to your bedroom.
Decompression and Aeration Wait Time
After you take the Titan Plus Luxe mattress out of the box and remove the plastic wrap, you’ll have to wait at least a few hours before you can use it. The mattress will need at least 3 to 5 hours to decompress and aerate. You’ll need to keep the room well-ventilated to allow the mattress odor to dissipate. You can sleep on the mattress after several hours, but it won’t be completely decompressed and odor-free for 24 hours.
Final Thoughts on the Titan Plus Luxe Hybrid Mattress
The Titan Plus Luxe hybrid mattress, which supports up to 1,000 pounds, has features specially designed for heavier sleepers. The transition layer and high-density foam base provide ample support while the memory foam and gel layers provide pressure point relief. The medium firmness rating means that you’ll have a sturdy mattress without sacrificing contouring. These features can keep non-plus-size sleepers comfortable as well.
The mattress core contains individually encased coils that do much of the work to keep you comfortable. The coils provide support and allow air flow to help keep the mattress cool. Heavier gauge coils around the perimeter provide edge support. For couples, motion isolation is an important feature of the coil core.
Besides the coil core, the Titan Plus Luxe has other temperature control features. The gel top layer prevents body heat retention and the optional cooling panel helps keep you cool on contact.
The Titan Plus Luxe is conveniently shipped to your door in a box. It can take up to 24 hours, however, for the mattress to fully decompress and air out.
Another convenience is the risk-free 120-night trial. If the mattress isn’t a good fit, you can return it 30 to 120 days after you receive it. The mattress is also backed by a 10-year warranty that covers manufacturing defects and early deterioration despite proper handling.
After researching and reviewing the Titan Plus Luxe hybrid mattress, it is our opinion that it is a quality product of value.

The Perfect Fit memory foam layer contours to the unique shape of your body, providing pressure relief to your spine and joints. Your body will feel cradled and your spine will stay aligned.
Extra Chill Hybrid Upgrade
Advanced cooling is available with an Extra Chill upgrade. With the upgrade, the memory foam layer is infused with cooling Phase Change Material. Advanced cooling yarns are woven into the mattress cover.
Fabric-Encased Coil Layer for Support
The next layer features fabric-encased coils that provide targeted support. Using Active Support Technology, the coils support your body shape and sleep position. For couples, the individually wrapped coils prevent motion transfer and squeaking when you move or get out of bed. You’ll also enjoy additional temperature control from the breathable Bolsa coils.
Reinforced Coil Layer for Edge Support
The reinforced steel perimeter gives the Cocoon Chill Hybrid sturdy edge support. The result is uniform firmness from edge to edge, which makes the surface seem bigger. The edge support also helps prevent sagging along the sides, which means that you’ll have an easier time getting out of bed.
Medium Feel
With a medium feel, the Cocoon Chill Hybrid provides support without feeling too firm. The responsive foam and coil layers combine to create a medium firmness level with a just a little bounce.

After our research and review, we believe that the Cocoon by Sealy Chill Hybrid has the following benefits and minor limitations:
Balance of Comfort and Support
You’ll love the balance of comfort and support in the Cocoon Chill Hybrid. You’ll feel cushioned and cradled without that sinking feeling. The Perfect Fit memory foam contours to the shape of your body while the coil layer provides targeted support.
Cooling Technology to Keep You Comfortable

If you really like to chill, you can upgrade to Extra Chill Hybrid. In addition to the already cool-to-the-touch mattress cover, the memory foam layer gets a cooling infusion of Phase Change Material. You’ll feel cool and comfy for a restful sleep.
Edge Support Helps Prevent Sagging
With the Cocoon Chill Hybrid, you can stretch out and enjoy consistent support from one edge of the mattress to the other. Reinforced steel support prevents sagging, especially around the perimeter.

Motion Isolation Lets Couples Sleep Undisturbed
If you share a bed with a spouse or partner, you’ll appreciate the motion isolation feature of the Cocoon Chill Hybrid. It’s tough getting out of bed knowing that you’ll wake up your partner. Thanks to the fabric-encased coils, you won’t disturb your partner if you have a restless night or have to get up earlier than they do. Less motion transfer means you can both sleep easier.
Mattress-In-a-Box Convenient Delivery
Your Cocoon Chill Hybrid will be delivered to your door in a box. Unlike buying a mattress in a furniture store, you don’t have to deal with transporting it home. There’s no delivery team to meet, no appointment that forces you to rearrange your day. Before shipping the mattress, Sealy compresses it in a plastic sleeve and rolls it up to fit in a box.
Although the box is designed to be carried by one person, it can weigh more than 90 pounds, depending on the mattress size. To be on the safe side, ask someone to help you carry the box to your bedroom.
Waiting for Mattress “Off-Gassing” and Decompression
You’ve unboxed your Cocoon Chill Hybrid and can’t wait to try it out. But before you can sleep on your new mattress, you’ll have to wait for it to decompress and get rid of an unpleasant odor. Decompression takes at least a few hours. That “new mattress” smell is caused by the foam breaking open and will go away after a few days to a week.
100-Night Trial
Even top hybrid mattresses need a breaking-in period. Sealy knows that it takes at least 30 nights to get used to a new mattress, especially if your old mattress was soft or sagging. That’s why the Cocoon Chill Hybrid comes with a risk-free 100-night trial that begins on the delivery date. That gives you more than three months to relax, rest and sleep on it. If the Cocoon Chill Hybrid is just not right for you, contact the company within 100 days of delivery. If they can’t resolve the issue another way, you can return the mattress for a full refund.
10-Year Warranty
A new mattress is a major purchase, so it’s important to have peace of mind about the decision. Sealy provides a 10-year limited warranty for its Cocoon Chill Hybrid. The warranty covers manufacturer-caused defects that occur despite normal use and care of the mattress. Examples of covered defects include
- Impressions deeper than 1 inch
- Physical defects such as torn mattress cover

Plank Mattress Review
Main Features
After our research, we believe that the Plank mattress has the following main features:
- Extra firm and firm mattress in one
- Approved by the American Chiropractic Association
- Reduces spinal stress, improves lumbar support, and alleviates back pain
- Quilted top layer
- Optional cooling layer
- High density foam
- 120-night trial
- Shipped in a box to your door
- 10-year warranty
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.
Does the Plank Mattress sound like a good fit for you? See what else buyers have to say.

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:
- Twin
- Twin XL
- Queen
- King/California King
Works With Most Beds

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.

Birch by Helix: It is a Bed in a Box
The 11-inch-thick Birch model is a “bed in a box,” which is a popular concept for a good reason. Essentially, bed in a box means that it is available only online and ships directly to your home.
The chief benefit here is that you have time to try out the Birch Organic Mattress in what is called a “sleep trial” over a series of nights in your home, rather than only a couple of minutes in a mattress showroom. Furthermore, there are no salespeople hovering over you as you test out the bed.
For Birch, the sleep trial is 100 nights, which is a generous amount of time to see if it’s the right bed for you. In the unlikely case that you’re not happy with it, simply ship it back and receive a full refund.
In other words, there is no risk in trying this mattress to see if it can provide you a deep sleep. It even comes with a lengthy 25-year warranty.
Firmness of the Top Rated Organic Mattress
This Birch Organic Mattress has a medium-firm feel, according to several reviewers online. On a scale of 1-10, where 10 is the firmest, many users rate it as 6.7 or 7.
A medium firmness provides the best of both worlds in many ways; it is both comfortable and has resiliency. Firstly, the firm feel offers support as you rest on it, which is terrific if you have sore points, such as an aching back or shoulder.
Secondly, the comfort comes from the bouncy quality of this all-natural mattress. It has enough spring that it is cozy, all without bouncing so much that it’s hard to get off and on. As one reviewer explains, it is like resting on a cloud that has a bit of spring to it.
A Hybrid Mattress: What Does That Mean?
As a “hybrid,” the bed features memory foam overtop core of individually wrapped coils. The comfort discussed earlier comes from the top layer of natural and organic wool, as well as the layer beneath that of natural Talalay latex that comes from a tree source.
This latex is what provides that bounciness we described in the last section of this Birch Organic Mattress review. As for the wool, it is naturally flame retardant for one of the safest fibers available if a fire were to occur in your residence.
Not only that but the wool also provides a spring to help the mattress retain its shape for a mattress with a long lifespan. The fibers are quite durable.
Below the cozy layers are supportive coils; Birch has both lower-gauge and higher-gauge coils. This hybrid style is terrific for side, back, and combination sleepers, all of whom provide positive web reviews for the bed.
The lower-gauge coils help prevent the mattress edges from sinking with use and time, so that it is longer-lasting and durable. Meanwhile the higher-gauge kind sit directly underneath the body, gently supporting your pressure points, such as hips, shoulders, and lower back.
Finally, at the base layer is wool batting that is both organic and natural. This batting is highly sustainable and is made dense to provide great support.
Tip: Birch offers a long up to 25 year warranty plan. Check it out.

All This and Sleeps Cool Too
In addition to having several green certifications to its name, the Birch top rated organic mattress also is highly breathable. The design and type of materials enable a cool sleep for a deep slumber.
The New Zealand Wool within the mattress naturally wicks away sweat, which is great for a hot sleeper. Otherwise, you might sweat during the night and a rise in body temperature often is enough to wake you up if you’re like most people.
This wool is a natural temperature regulator. Not only that but the top layer is highly breathable to encourage a cool sleep surface against your body.
All of which adds up to an uninterrupted sleep. A good rest makes for a feeling of satisfaction and alertness the next morning as you take on the new day.
Final Words on the Birch Organic Mattress
From the durable wool fibers to the supportive coils and soft organic cotton, this model is among the leaders in our eyes for the title of top rated organic mattress. Whether you are an environmentally-conscious shopper or seek a mattress that is cozy while also supportive, the features of the Birch model are sure to appeal. We recommend it highly.

Everything You Need to Know about ‘Mattress in a Box’
This term “mattress in a box” gets used a lot lately but what exactly does it mean? A mattress in a box is a modern way to buy and ship a mattress to you.
At the center of this revolutionary concept is the convenience of being able to buy a mattress online, just as you would a smaller item, and then it arrives right at your doorstep in a box. It’s the ease of this process and quality of certain brands that helps explain the growing trend called mattress in a box. Our reviews help you decide which model is worth your hard-earned dollars.
What is a mattress in a box?
The mattress is rolled or compressed before shipping to fit into a box. When you receive the mattress, simply remove it from the box and unwrap; the mattress will regain its full shape. The time it takes to regain volume can ranges from a few minutes to several hours or even a few days.
Is a mattress in a box high quality?
As every mattress differs, read reviews of models that interest you to find out what real users think about them. Our reviews tell you the top features and include feedback from users so that you can make up your mind about whether it is high quality and right for you. There are quality options for almost any budget.
Are there many brands to choose from?
Yes, there are a growing number of mattress in a box manufacturers, which means you have a lot of options available. While it can seem overwhelming at first, making a decision is easier with the help of the handy table on this page and reading the related reviews in full.
Does Mattress in a Box and Bed in a Box Mean the Same?
Most people use these terms interchangeably. But we prefer mattress in a box as Bed In A Box is an actual company. In general, mattress in a box refers to any model from an online company that is compressed to fit in a box for shipping. It is a modern approach that saves time and money for both the company and the consumer, rather than going from one physical store another to find a mattress.
How does a Mattress in a Box Work?
The mattress in a box model simplifies the mattress buying process by cutting out the hassle of going from one store to another one to try out beds. Once you buy the mattress online, it ships to your home in a reasonably-sized box, rather than in the traditional “ready to sleep” form.
You might wonder how a big item like a mattress fits into a box. The process at the factor typically begins by compressing the mattress into less than half of its thickness using a powerful machine. The mattress is then folded and rolled into a box.
When you receive the box, simply open it up and unroll the mattress in the room where you plan to setup the bed. Remove the packaging too.
Then, watch as this special mattress slowly expands back to its original form in your bedroom. The process of returning to its original form varies between models, from only minutes to a few hours or even 48 hours.
As the mattresses contain memory foam, they are bendable, so there’s not the worry that your mattress is damaged when it is put into a box. With that being said, reading the company’s warranty and return policies in full before making an important purchase like this one is in your best interests. Many leading brands offer mattress in a box models as part of their lineup, which speaks highly of the popularity of them and the high quality available.
But Isn’t It Better to Test a Mattress In-Store?
Many people tell us it’s more convenient for them to simply shop for a new mattress from their computer or phone than going from one showroom to another one. Also, you won’t have salespeople breathing down your neck while choosing a new mattress in a box; instead, online shopping is pressure-free.
Another big benefit of choosing mattress in a box over in-store is the included sleep trial. This risk-free trial, which comes with every mattress in a box, enables you to try out the mattress in the comfort of your own home for a certain number of nights, depending on the brand, such as 100 nights.
This lengthy period lets you decide if the mattress meets your sleep needs for the entire night, over an extended period. That’s far superior to a few minutes lying down on a showroom mattress to decide if it’s “the one” for you for every night over the next few years.
What are the Advantages of Putting a Mattress in a Box?
Your next question might be, “why do mattress companies ship mattresses in a box, rather than the traditional way?” There is a two-part answer.
Firstly, the compression method saves space versus shipping it full-size, so companies shave on shipping fees. Secondly, the condensed mattress in a box is easier and faster to send to customers, so you get it sooner.
By the way, companies can pass on their shipping savings to you by lowering the price of the mattress in a box or offering free shipping. Also, when you get the mattress, you’ll likely appreciate that it is easier to move the box inside and unbox it than if it were full-size already.
Pros and Cons of Mattress in a Box
We already described the cost savings and convenience. The mattress in the box process is also one with very little risk. Some people even say it is risk-free. Why? That’s because you typically can try out a mattress for a limited amount of time after purchase.
This period is called a sleep trial. The length varies between mattresses, ranging from a few months to as long as a year, in some cases. Generally, the terms of a sleep trial are such that you can try out the mattress for the set time, and if you are not fully satisfied, you can get a refund. As each sleep trial differs, always read the policy in full to understand its conditions.
While some people rather try out the mattress in the store before making the purchase, we think the sleep trial that comes with most online mattresses overcomes this limitation. Still, we understand that some people prefer the traditional approach, regardless.
It’s important also to point out that some people notice an off-gassing smell when opening the box. This odor occurs as part of the foam decompression process. But it usually goes away within a few days. To help the process, unpack the mattress in a well-ventilated space.
Rest assured that you won’t have to try to fit the mattress back into the box if you return it. But, you will have to work with the company to arrange pickup, which is a reasonable request, in our opinion.
There’s a lot to be said for being able to try out the mattress at home for a generous amount of time, rather than just laying on it for a few minutes in a showroom. It removes the hesitation that might otherwise be part of the mattress buying process.
Another great thing about the mattress in a box category is that there is a lot of variety. Given the convenience and affordability of the mattress in a box, many shoppers are looking for this type. Thus, many leading brands now offer at least one mattress in a box option in their lineup.
These mattresses contain memory foam, which allows for compression into the box. Memory foam is well-known for conforming to the body like a hug to provide custom support. Some people also find it lessens their back pain and provides great pressure relief.
There are also differences in their construction, which gives you choices. For example, some models have cooling gel layers that appeal to people who sleep hot. They also vary by size. While most are medium-firm, there are slight variations in firmness too.
Do I Need a Box Spring?
If you’re looking at mattress in a box reviews here and don’t see mention of a box spring, that’s because many models today don’t require one. Many mattresses have become more supportive and comfier than in the past and thus a box spring is often not necessary.
In fact, certain manufacturers tell you not to use a box spring with the mattress as it might be too heavy or lessen the amount of support the mattress provides you. If in doubt as to whether you need an additional box spring or not, ask the manufacturer. Reputable companies provide ways to contact them with your questions and respond to you, such as through their website or by phone.
What to Consider When Buying a Mattress in a Box?
The “best” mattress is subjective, of course. But there are certain qualities that people commonly look for in a mattress in a box.
You’re likely looking for a mattress that is comfortable, supportive, and durable, among other things. The mattress qualities that are the most important to you will depend on why you’re searching for a new mattress, as well as budget, sleep preferences, and potentially other points.
You’ll also want to decide what size of mattress is best for you. Will your bedroom fit a Queen, for example, or is that too big?
To help you determine which mattress in a box can provide the top sleep experience for you and your partner, each of our mattress in a box reviews evaluate how the specific model rates on a range of important factors, from the construction to the sleep trial and warranty.
