About plush mattresses

Prefer a mattress with more cushioning at the surface? Plush mattresses are designed to give you a softer, more cushioned first feel while the support system works underneath. Try a few, because "Plush" can mean something quite different from one range to another.

What makes a mattress plush

A plush mattress uses deeper or softer comfort layers, such as memory foam, gel-infused foam, latex, natural fibres or a pillow-top, so you sink in a little further when you lie down. Underneath, the support system, often zoned pocket springs or a coil unit, keeps doing its job. Plush describes the first feel, not the amount of support, so a well-made plush mattress cushions you without letting you sag.

Who tends to prefer a plush feel

Side sleepers often choose plush because the extra cushioning lets the shoulder and hip settle in. Lighter sleepers may also find plush more comfortable, because they do not press as far into a firmer surface. If you like to feel cradled when you get into bed, plush is a good place to start; if you prefer to lie on top of the mattress, try medium or firm instead.

Plush mattress brands at Forty Winks

Plush comfort options come from King Koil, Crown Posture Bedding, Sealy and Sealy Posturepedic, Silent Partner, Active Sleep, MLILY and Aireloom. The range includes the Crown Posture Bedding Physio with its 5-zoned pocketed coil system, the all-foam MLILY PowerCool Ultimate, the Silent Partner Baroque Articulated built to move with an adjustable base, and luxury ranges from King Koil and Aireloom. Plush mattresses come in every size from single to super king.

Choosing your plush mattress

Try plush mattresses in your usual sleep position for a few minutes each and notice whether the mattress feels comfortable at your shoulders and hips. If you want even more softness, compare an ultra plush mattress. A trusted Sleep Advisor can run Forty Winks bedMATCH® in-store to recommend a support level, and selected ranges are covered by the Forty Winks 90 Night Comfort Guarantee.
