I’ll share my personal experience with the PlushBeds Latex Sofa Bed Mattress, including its firmness, feel, cooling, features, and ease of use.

»

Pull-out couches are convenient, but they aren’t always comfortable to sleep on. If you want to upgrade the mattress in your sleeper sofa, you may want to consider getting the PlushBeds Latex Sofa Bed mattress. 

I personally tested this mattress and assessed its comfort, support, price point, and ease of use. Keep reading for my unbiased review. 

PlushBeds Latex Sofa Bed Mattress: General Overview

Pros of the PlushBeds Latex Sofa Bed

• Because it’s made out of latex, it’s durable and long-lasting. If used regularly, I expect it to last about 10 years.
• It’s made with high-quality and eco-friendly materials, such as organic latex and cotton. 
• It’s backed by a 100-night sleep trial period and 10-year warranty, which is not common for many sofa bed mattresses. 
• It’s breathable, so it works well for people who tend to overheat at night.

Cons of the PlushBeds Latex Sofa Bed Mattress

• It’s pricier than most sofa bed mattresses, so it may not work for everyone’s budget. 
• It’s quite thick, so it may not work with everyone’s sofa bed. 
• Even though it’s more comfortable than most sofa beds, it may not be suitable for long-term use. It lacks the support of a traditional latex mattress, which could lead tolower back pain over time.

What Does the PlushBeds Latex Sofa Bed Mattress Feel Like?

I always pay close attention to a mattress’s firmness and feel. Let’s take a closer look. 

PlushBeds Latex Sofa Bed Firmness and Feel

The Mattress Clarity firmness scale ranges from 1-10, with 1 being the softest and 10 being the firmest. I rated the PlushBeds Latex Sofa Bed Mattress a 6.5/10, which is the industry standard of medium-firm. 

When I rested on my back, I felt supported and comfortable. The latex foam hugged my hips and gently cushioned my lower back. 

Because the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Mattress isn’t as thick as a traditional mattress, it didn’t offer a lot of pressure relief when I rested on my side. I felt my shoulder sink through the latex foam, which put a bit of strain on my joint. If you’re a side sleeper, you may want to put a mattress topper on this mattress to get more cushioning. 

If you weigh less than 130 lbs, you may feel comfortable while stomach sleeping. I weigh more than this, and I didn’t get the support that I needed when I rested on my stomach. I felt my hips sink out of alignment, which put some pressure on my lower back. 

PlushBeds Latex Sofa Bed Construction

The PlushBeds Latex Sofa Bed Mattress is surrounded by an organic cotton cover. The outer layer not only feels soft and luxurious – it also promotes airflow and helps you stay cool. 

Beneath the cover sits a 4.5” piece of organic latex foam. This material offers a nice balance of comfort and support, and it’s naturally breathable.

PlushBeds Latex Sofa Bed Mattress Performance

I put the PlushBeds Latex Sofa Bed Mattress through a number of tests to assess its cooling features, durability, and more. Let’s take a closer look. 

Sleeping Hot or Cold

When I slept on this mattress, I didn’t feel hot at all. The responsive latex foam kept me from “sinking inside” the mattress, so it didn’t trap body heat. If you tend to overheat at night, this is a good option. 

Motion Transfer

Sofa bed mattresses, in general, don’t isolate motion well. That’s because they typically sit on top of shaky foundations, and the mattresses aren’t very thick. When I tested this mattress with my partner, I felt his movements come over to my side of the bed. For this reason, it may not be the best mattress for couples. 

Edge Support

When I sat along the side of the PlushBeds Latex SofaBed Mattress, I felt the foam compress quite a bit. It doesn’t have great edge support, which is to be expected. It’s only 4.5” thick, so it won’t offer the same edge support as a 10-15” mattress. 

Durability

For a sofa bed mattress, it’s quite durable. Latex foam is one of the most dense and durable mattress materials on the market. If used on a regular basis, I expect this mattress to last about 10 years.  

Noise

This mattress doesn’t contain coils, so it doesn’t make sound whenever you move around on it. That said, the foundation underneath it might make sound if you move around a lot during the night.

How Do You Set Up the PlushBeds Latex Sofa Bed Mattress?

First, you’ll need to unbox the mattress by removing the outer plastic cover. Because this mattress contains eco-friendly materials, I didn’t notice a strong off-gassing odor. Traditional mattresses usually take about 48 hours to fully expand, but because the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Mattress is much thinner, it only took about two hours to reach its full form. 

After I unboxed the mattress, I placed it on top of my couch’s pull-out foundation. This mattress is much thicker than the one the couch came with, so it was a little bit difficult to push back into the sofa. I had to wedge the mattress back into the interior compartment and use some muscle. I noticed the latex foam bulging out a little on the sides, but because latex is so durable, I’m not worried about that compromising the overall quality. 

PlushBeds Company Policies

Now, let’s take a look at PlushBeds’ company policies. 

Trial period

The PlushBeds Latex Sofa Bed has a 100-night sleep trial period. That means you have about three months to test the mattress and decide whether you want to keep it. PlushBeds requires customers to try out the mattress for 30 days before issuing a return, though, because it can sometimes take people a few weeks for their body to get used to a new bed. 

Returns

You can issue a return between days 30 and 100 of owning the mattress. After your return is accepted, you’ll receive a full refund. 

Warranty

The PlushBeds Latex Sofa Bed mattress is backed by a 10-year limited warranty. If, during the first five years, you discover a manufacturing defect, PlushBeds will replace your mattress for free. During the last five years of the warranty, PlushBeds may repair the defective mattress at their discretion. 

Shipping

PlushBeds offer fast and free shipping for all orders. 

FAQs

Can you make a sofa bed more comfortable?

If you don’t want to purchase a new sofa bed mattress, you can make your current bed feel more comfortable by adding a mattress topper. Toppers help cushion joints and offer pressure relief.

How thick should a sleeper sofa mattress be?

The most comfortable sofa mattresses are between 4-5” thick. Thinner mattresses usually don’t offer enough comfort and support.

Do you need a special mattress for a sleeper sofa?

Yes, you do. Sofa bed mattresses are designed to fit on pull-out couch foundations and fold away easily. If you put a traditional mattress on a pull-out couch, it won’t work well.
