PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress review 2025: Cooling and customizable support for all sleepers
Whether you sleep on your back, side, or stomach, you'll find the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress comfortable and supportive. While it's usually sought out by eco-minded buyers for its organic and toxic-free latex layers, many customers purchase this mattress for it customization options. Not only can you choose between three different heights, but you can choose two different firmness options and even split the firmness on a Split Queen or King mattress. Customizable support is a hallmark of some of the best mattresses of the year, with our overall top choice, the Saatva Classic, offering three sleep feels to choose from. Type: Organic LatexMaterials: Organic cotton, wool, natural latex, organic latexFirmness: 6.5 out of 10Height: 9, 10, or 12 inchesTrial period: 100 nightWarranty: LifetimePrice: From $1, 349 from PlushBeds If you've never slept on a natural latex mattress, you might not realize that latex is exceptionally breathable and wicks away moisture and heat as you sleep, thereby regulating your temperature overnight so you sleep neutrally. This is why couples love the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress. That – and its motion isolation capabilities are exceptional, making it so that you won't feel fidgeting partners or kids jumping into your edge support isn't great, but it's likely better on the 12-inch-height option than the 9-inch-tall mattress. At least it does a standout job in keeping your hips supported and spine aligned, and frees you from aches, pain, and pressure. Keep reading for our full review on the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress and see how it compares to other organic mattresses feature on our best organic mattress list. At first look, PlushBeds mattresses appear expensive, but they're usually on sale, making them one of the more affordable organic mattresses you could buy. It's not uncommon to see the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress $1,350 off, reducing a queen size of the 9-inch height from $3,349 to $1,999. Currently, the brand still has up to 50% off sale for their extended Memorial Day mattress sale, plus a further $100 off when you use the code MEMORIAL100 at checkout, which brings a queen Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress down to $1,749 for a 9-inch queen from $3,349. Here's the current MSRP and sale pricing for a 9-inch-tall PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress: There are quite a few organic hybrid latex mattresses on the market like the Birch Luxe, but the best comparisons for the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress would be the Essentia Tatami Organic Mattress and the Turmerry Organic Latex Mattress. The Essentia Tatami is quite pricey and doesn't have the same customization options as the PlushBeds and Turmerry organic latex mattresses. While we've seen some of the best luxury mattresses offer a year-long trial, PlushBeds' 100-night sleep trial is fairly standard. Shipping is free, but if you prefer in-home set up, you can schedule it for a fee. PlushBeds offers a lifetime warranty, making it better overall value than the Turmerry or Essentia, as they 'only' offer 20-year warranties. Sure, Turmerry is more affordable, but PlushBeds offers more bed size options like split beds and split firmness levels to best serve couples. PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress: was from $2,849 now from $1,349 at PlushBedsMost of the year, the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattresses is discounted by $1,350. Currently, the brand is offering up to 50% off mattresses as part of an extended Memorial Day mattress sale, plus an additional $100 with the discount code MEMORIAL100 (this deal is due to end any day now, though.) As part of this sale, you can get a GOTS organic sheet set, GOTS organic mattress protector, and GOTS organic pillows (which have a $799 value) for an additional $99. It's unlikely the mattress will be priced any lower than this, though it doesn't hurt to keep your eye on big holiday sales, like for the Fourth of July. You'll also get free delivery, a 100-night sleep trial and a lifetime warranty. Not many mattress brands offer as much customization as PlushBeds does for the Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress. Buyers can order it in 9, 10, or 12 inches. PlushBeds suggests that the 9-inch option will suit up to two people who weigh up to 225 lbs. The 10-inch option is better for up to two people with a combined weight of 250 lbs., while those that have a combined weight of 275 lbs. or more should go for a 12-inch mattress. Our reviewer tested the 9-inch-tall PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex mattress in a king size, and it suited her 5'5' height and weight of 175 lbs. That said she believes a 10-inch or 12-inch-tall mattress would look better on her bed frame and offer more support along the edges. Customers can also choose between two main firmness levels – medium and medium firm. There is also a dual firmness option of medium and medium firm for split beds. PlushBeds rates the medium as a 5-6 on a 10-point scale, and the medium firm as a 7-9 on a 10-point scale. We tested the medium-firm option and found it to have a 6.5 or 7 firmness rating. The PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress has an organic cotton cover that's soft to the touch and breathable. A small layer of GOTS Certified Organic Wool from Britain helps to naturally wick away moisture and heat along the top of the mattress. Below that thin layer is a GOTS certified organic cotton panel that prevents the wool from bunching. A natural organic latex layer provides pressure relief and cushioned support. It's free of blends, synthetic latex, and chemicals, making it Eco-Institut Certified. If you order a 12-inch mattress, it will come with an additional GOLS Certified Organic Latex Comfort Layer that's designed to offer pressure relief. The mattress' final layer is a GOLS Certified Organic latex support core. This Dunlop latex layer provides lower back support and structural integrity so you can enjoy the mattress for years to come. While there are handles along the sides of the mattress, if you ever need to move the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress, it's a cumbersome task. Not only is the mattress exceptionally flimsy but it's heavier than other mattresses because latex is naturally heavier than the materials found in foam and hybrid mattresses. At least you can unzip the mattress and remove layers if necessary to make moving it easier. If you've never slept on an organic latex mattress like the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress, you'll be surprised to know that it's exceptionally supportive. While the mattress is flexible, when laid flat on a bed frame, the latex does a superb job of keeping areas like your lower back and hips supported. Upon first receiving the medium-firm option of the mattress in 2021, our reviewer rated the firmness as a 7 out of 10. Since then, she's tested a wider range of mattresses and feels it would be more accurate to adjust the firmness rating to a 6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale. The phenomenal pressure relief of the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex cannot be overstated Our reviewer sleeps on her back, stomach, and side, and finds all three positions well supported and comfortable when sleeping on this mattress. Although the top layer feels soft and cozy, her body remains atop the mattress and doesn't sink in. When lying on her back or stomach, her hips and lower back are supported. Even when lying on her side, there is enough give to the latex layers to allow her hips to dip in slightly and keep her spine aligned. The phenomenal pressure relief of the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex cannot be overstated. Our reviewer has suffered lower back pain and often is sore from extensive workouts or yard work. One night of sleep on the mattress, and she awakes feeling renewed and free of aches and pains. Our reviewer hasn't noticed any significant softening of the mattress or breakdown in terms of firmness since first receiving it. Perhaps this is because she regularly turns the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress. Pressure relief score: 5 out of 5 At Tom's Guide, we review our mattresses in line with our mattress testing methodology, which involves carrying out a number of objective tests to see how well a mattress might perform in terms of motion isolation, temperature regulation, and edge support. When it came to testing the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress, our lead tester has been sleeping on a king-size, medium-firm, nine-inch-tall version of the mattress since 2021. Not only could the reviewer run a number of tests on the mattress, but they could offer insight into how the mattress has performed overtime. Here's what we learned: It's unlikely that you'll wake in the middle of the night when your partner changes positions or gets in and out of bed with an organic latex mattress like the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress. Although our reviewer typically sleeps in her bed alone, there have been many times where friends, partners, or family members have had to share her bed. Each and every time, she marveled at how undisturbed she was by other peoples' movements. To verify her personal experiences, she ran a motion isolation test by placing an empty wine glass in the center of the mattress before dropping a 15-lb. weight 4, 10, and 25 inches away. No matter the distance, the wine glass stood firmly in place. This mattress handles motion isolation better than most on the market. Motion isolation score: 4.5 out of 5 Mattress brands have invested a lot in searching for cutting edge materials to keep their customers cool and dry all night long with many brands utilizing the best hybrid designs for more airflow or crafting cooling gels from a range of chemicals in laboratories. PlushBeds went the more natural – and organically clean – route, and the results are impressive. Natural latex has always been and will always be cooler and more breathable than any kind of foam or memory foam (or hybrid mattresses that utilize foam). This is because memory foam retains heat, while the open-cell structure of natural latex does not. So you'd be right to think that the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress, which has two to three latex layers, is one of the most naturally breathable mattresses you could buy. It also helps that the mattress is outfitted with organic wool, which has superb moisture-wicking properties and an organic cotton cover, one of the most breathable materials on the market. All of this results in sleepers remaining dry and neutral in terms of their temperature. Although our reviewer is not a naturally hot sleeper, she slept on the mattress during Texas summers where temperatures can reach 110 degrees. It's not uncommon for her house to remain at 78 degrees in the summer due to a poor air-conditioning system. Even then, she's able to sleep with pajamas on and under a thick comforter without getting sweaty or growing warm because of the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress's breathability. She's even saved on her electricity bill by not having to turn on the air conditioning until June! Rather than upgrading a memory foam mattress to come with a cooling cover or investing in a mattress that uses toxic chemicals to create cooling properties, you can enjoy cool and dry nights with natural organic materials like the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress has to offer. Temperature control score: 4.5 out of 5 A mattress with great edge support ensures you remain supported when sleeping near the edge, getting in and out of bed, and sitting along the sides. It also ensures long-term integrity and structural support. This is the one area in which the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress does not perform as well as we'd like. When placing a 15-lb. dumbbell in the center of the mattress or along the sides, the mattress only dipped half an inch. It should be noted that the dumbbell began to roll off when placed near the edge. When our tester sat on the sides or the front edge of the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress, it nearly dipped to the bed frame. For reference, our tester is 175 lbs., and she tested a nine-inch-tall mattress. The edges aren't reinforced so these results aren't a surprise. That said, she is able to sleep near the edge of the mattress and still feel supported without any fear of rolling or slipping off the mattress. Not to mention, in the past four years, our reviewer hasn't noticed any structural issues or breakdown along the edges. Edge support score: 3 out of 5 Customers overwhelmingly have positive feedback when it comes to the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress. In fact, there are over 4,460 reviews on the PlushBeds site and a 4.9 out of 5-star rating (May 2025). Perhaps a better perspective of how much people love this mattress is the fact that at the time of publication there was only one one-star review, one two-star review, and three three-star reviews from over 4,000 reviews. There aren't many critiques of the mattress though we saw a number of reviewers who describe themselves as having larger weights pointing out that the 9- or 10-inch mattress options weren't thick enough. At least, these customers were able to replace their 9- or 10-inch mattress with a 10- or 12-inch mattress through customer service. Despite our tester's feedback on the poor edge support, reviewers are split on their opinion of whether or not the edges are supportive enough. The split might be due to customers providing feedback on mattresses with different height options. Those who provided five- and four-star ratings agree that the bed is supportive of all body types and sleep styles, with many noting that the mattress improved the hours of sleep they got each night, and relieved a lot of pain in their body, especially in relation to their back. Others pointed out how they remained cool and dry throughout the night. The PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress is an ideal mattress for any kind of person. Sleep hot? It's comprised of organic latex, cotton, and wool layers, which are incredibly breathable and do a fantastic job at wicking away heat and moisture. Hate being awoken by your partner? The motion isolation capabilities are unmatched. If all that wasn't enough, it's incredibly comfortable, supportive of the lower back, and well suited to stomach, back, and side sleepers. According to our reviewer, the mattress relieves pressure and pain in ways that many other mattresses she has tested does not. While the edge support isn't that great, at least the mattress is completely free of toxic chemicals. You can sleep each night on this mattress without worrying that you're inhaling harmful things. At first look, the price may seem high, but considering it includes free shipping, a 100-night trial, and a lifetime warranty, we think it's more than fair. Currently, a queen is discounted to $1,849, making the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress one of the more affordable all-latex mattresses on the market. All in all, the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress is the perfect investment for those seeking a clean and eco-friendly mattress that will improve their sleep for a lifetime. The Essentia Stratami boasts a similar organic latex design, though unlike the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress it's free of wool or any animal by products, making it vegan too. In addition to being supportive for back and stomach sleepers, it's also naturally cooling and has great motion isolation. The price might make some customers pause, especially considering it only comes with a 20-year warranty. The Birch Natural Luxe is a medium-firm mattress made up of individually wrapped coils and layers of GOLS-certified natural latex, layers of Birch wool and an organic cotton cover. With a similar price point to the Botanical Bliss, the Natural Luxe is a mattress you'll sleep on top of as opposed to sinking into, providing just enough 'give' to accommodate side sleepers while being supportive enough for back sleepers too.

In our PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex mattress hands-on review, tester Alex says, "You won't feel cool or cold when sleeping on this mattress, but you won't be hot either — resulting in a phenomenal sleep." It comes in two firmness levels: medium and medium-firm. According to Alex, who's slept on the medium-firm version, it provides an ideal level of comfort regardless of her sleep position, and it was also helpful for her occasional lower back history: At full MSRP, the Botanical Bliss comes at a premium price — but a regular 50% off mattress sale means you'll never have to pay that.

Why you should switch to waterless beauty products: skincare and other items from Kate McLeod, Kosmatology, Beauty Favours and Sbtrct are easier to travel with, less likely to spoil
Navigating airport security with a carry-on is a high-stakes – and potentially expensive – game. The 100-millilitre rule turns favourite beauty products into banned substances, and there's the added 'thrill' of wondering if a mid-flight spill will ruin everything inside your case. Enter waterless beauty products – the low-key heroes for travellers and sustainably minded consumers. Waterless cosmetics come in more formats than you'd expect, covering all the basics and then some. Powdered cleansers and exfoliators kick things off with formulas that activate at the first splash of water, turning into gentle scrubs and cleansers. Solid shampoo and conditioner bars do away with the need for bulky bottles, making hair care refreshingly compact. For the face, cleansing balms and oils deliver all the hydration and glow you need, melting into the skin without a trace, while solid moisturisers pack the hydrating punch of your usual cream into suitcase-friendly sticks or bars. Kosmatology Botanical Bliss Lotion Bar. Photo: Handout Advertisement For travellers, the perks of waterless beauty hit immediately. Solid formats breeze through liquid restrictions, reducing security stress – no more desperate digging for overlooked items, and last-second product sacrifices. And with leakproof, spill-free formulas, those dreaded conditioner explosions are a thing of the past. The waterless movement started in Korea around 2015 and quickly went global. However, it wasn't the eco-factor that stole the show but the turbocharged formulations. Ditching water as the main ingredient opens up plenty of space for active ingredients. Standard beauty products are often 60-80 per cent water: remove 'aqua' from the top of the list, and suddenly it's all actives. Aesop Bathing Ritual and Bath Soaps. Photo: Handout They're also a jackpot for longevity and value. As cosmetic scientist and founder of Beauty Favours Dr Leanne King says, 'Waterless products are often highly concentrated with luxurious oils, butters, cleansers and actives, meaning that a small amount can go a long way.' She explains that because of the large volume of water in traditional formulas, much of the product ends up wasted as we fail to judge how much is needed, washing extra product down the sink. 'In contrast, waterless products – such as shampoo bars – can deliver a potent dose of active ingredients that are more effective per application.' King further explains that certain ingredients thrive in waterless formats. 'This compatibility can enhance the effectiveness and sensory appeal of the product.' Oils like shea butter, coconut oil, jojoba oil and cocoa butter provide hydration and nourishment without requiring water as a carrier, retaining their benefits over time in a solid format. Dip bar shampoo and conditioner. Photo: Handout Janis Covey, pharmacist and founder of Kosmatology, highlights another key benefit: 'Waterless beauty products boast longer shelf lives than their traditional, water-containing counterparts.' This longevity is largely due to the absence of water, which can encourage the growth of fungi and bacteria. Kate Assaraf, founder of sustainable hair care brand Dip, agrees. 'Waterless formulas have an advantage in maintaining potency and effectiveness over time compared with water-based products,' she says.
