BedInABox Eco-Lux Overview

Pros

• Eco-friendly: The Eco-Lux is made with 34% renewable materials, including organic cotton and wool. It is also Bio-Preferred® certified, which means it meets strict environmental standards set by the USDA.
• Medium-firm: The Eco-Lux is a medium-firm mattress, which is a good choice for most people. It provides enough support for back and stomach sleepers while still being comfortable for side sleepers.
• Bio-Preferred® certified: The Eco-Lux is certified by the USDA's Bio-Preferred® program, which means it meets strict environmental standards. This means that the materials used to make the mattress are grown and processed in ways that protect the environment.
• Offers ample pressure relief: The Eco-Lux has a thick layer of memory foam that provides good pressure relief for all body types. This can help reduce pain and improve sleep quality.

Cons

• All foam: The Eco-Lux is an all-foam mattress, which some people may not prefer. Foam mattresses can trap heat, which can make them uncomfortable for some hot sleepers.
• Fewer size options: The Eco-Lux is available in fewer size options than other BedInABox mattresses. This may make it difficult to find the right size for your bed.

Who do we Recommend the BedInABox Eco-Lux for

• People who are looking for an eco-friendly mattress: The Eco-Lux mattress is made with a blend of natural materials, including 34% organic cotton and wool.
• People who have back pain: The Eco-Lux's thick layer of memory foam conforms to the body, distributing weight evenly and relieving pressure points. This can help reduce pain and improve sleep quality.
• People who are sensitive to motion: The Eco-Lux has low motion transfer, which means that you are less likely to feel your partner moving around in bed.
• People who prefer a medium-firm mattress: The Eco-Lux is a mattress that is neither too soft nor too hard, which makes it a good fit for most people. It provides enough support for back and stomach sleepers, while still being comfortable for side sleepers.

Unboxing the BedInABox Eco-Lux

BedInABox was the first company to introduce the concept of a compressed, rolled-up mattress that could be delivered in a box. This made it possible for people to buy a mattress online and have it delivered to their door without having to worry about the hassle of transporting a large, bulky mattress.

The BedInABox Eco-Lux mattress is easy to set up. It weighs between 62 and 124 pounds, which is heavy, but you can easily manage it on your own. Simply remove the mattress from the box and unroll it onto your bed. The mattress will expand quickly and evenly, with the corners filling out nicely, indicating excellent corner expansion. The mattress doesn't look like the other BedInABox mattresses; it truly looks luxurious, given its different green color scheme that represents its eco-friendliness.

One of the things we like about the BedInABox Eco-Lux mattress is that it does not have a strong chemical odor. This is a common complaint with other bed-in-a-box mattresses, but the BedInABox Eco-Lux mattress is different. Since it is made with eco-friendly materials, the mattress has a slight, non-irritating natural odor that dissipates within a few hours. This makes the unboxing experience much more pleasant.

Firmness, Feel, and Comfort For BedInABox Eco-Lux

BedInABox Eco-Lux Firmness

The BedInABox Eco-Lux mattress is a medium-firm mattress, a 6 on our scale.

This means that it is neither too soft nor too hard, which makes it a good fit for most people. It provides enough support for back and stomach sleepers, while still being comfortable for side sleepers.

BedInABox Eco-Lux Feel

Upon the first touch, the Eco-Lux feels soft and luxurious. The top layer of the mattress is made of organic cotton, which is known for its soft, breathable qualities.

The BioLux memory foam comfort layer feels soft and plush, like sinking into a cloud. It gently cradles your body and relieves pressure points, especially in the shoulders, hips, and lower back. The high-density BioLux support layer feels firm and supportive, providing the necessary lift to keep your spine aligned. It does not feel too firm, though, so you won't feel like you're sleeping on a rock.

BedInABox Eco-Lux Comfort

We wanted to test how a luxury mattress would provide comfort for different sleepers, so we tested it with our reviewers, who have different sleeping styles and body weights. The table below summarizes our results.

We'll go into more detail on the pressure-relieving capabilities of this mattress later in our review.

Constructions, Materials, and Design

Materials and Design

The BedInABox Eco-Lux is an all-foam mattress that is made with eco-friendly materials. It is 11 inches deep and contains 34% renewable content. The mattress is CertiPUR-US® certified, which means that it meets strict standards for content, emissions, and durability. It is also OEKO-TEX® certified, which means that it has been tested for harmful substances. The Eco-Lux is the first and only USDA Bio-Preferred® memory foam mattress, which means that it is made with materials that are grown and processed in a sustainable way.

Layers

1. Organic Cotton Cover: This is a 100% organic cotton cover that is soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking. It helps keep the mattress cool and comfortable, even in hot weather.
2. Plush BioLux® Layer: This is a 3-inch memory foam comfort layer that gives the bed a medium feel. The memory foam conforms to your body shape, providing pressure relief and a comfortable sleep.
3. High-Density BioLux® Layer: This is an 8-inch support foam layer that provides the necessary support to keep your spine aligned. The support foam is firm, but not too firm, so you will still feel comfortable.

Performance of BedInABox Eco-Lux

Cooling

The BedInABox Eco-Lux mattress is made with a moisture-wicking cotton cover that helps keep you cool and comfortable. The mattress also has a loose conforming structure, which allows for more airflow. This helps to prevent heat buildup and makes the mattress feel cooler than most all-foam mattresses.

We tested the cooling performance of the BedInABox Eco-Lux mattress by lying on it for 20 minutes. We felt cool at first, but the area we were lying on did warm up slightly over time, which is normal.

Overall, the cooling performance of the BedInABox Eco-Lux mattress is good. It is not the coolest mattress on the market, but it is a good choice for people who are looking for an all-foam mattress with good cooling performance. So, we gave it 4.3/5 for its cooling performance.

Responsiveness

The BedInABox Eco-Lux mattress has a medium-firm feel. This means that it is supportive enough to prevent you from sinking too deeply into the bed, but it is also soft enough to be comfortable. The high-density support core in the mattress helps to provide this balance of support and comfort.

We measured the responsiveness of the BedInABox Eco-Lux mattress by placing a 20-pound ball on it and timing how long it took for the mattress to return to its original shape after the ball was removed. The mattress rebounded in about 0.9 seconds, which is considered a good responsiveness time.

A responsive mattress is important for people who move around a lot in their sleep. It also helps to prevent motion transfer, which is when the movement of one person in the bed disturbs the other person. The Eco-Lux mattress has good responsiveness, so it is a good choice for people who move around a lot or who share a bed with a partner. Accordingly, we gave it 4.5/5 for responsiveness.

Motion Isolation

Motion isolation is important for couples who share a bed, as it helps prevent one person's movement from disturbing the other.

We tested the motion isolation of the Eco-Lux mattress by placing a glass half full of water on top of the mattress and dropping a 20-pound ball on the other side. The water barely sloshed, which is a good indication that the mattress is good at absorbing motion.

We also had our partner lie on one side of the mattress while we rolled around on the other. Our partner reported that they felt no movement. This is because the foam layers in the Eco-Lux mattress are designed to absorb motion and prevent it from transferring to other sides of the bed.

Overall, the BedInABox Eco-Lux mattress has excellent motion isolation. This makes it a great choice for couples who share a bed and want to sleep undisturbed.

We gave it 4.6/5 for motion isolation.

Edge Support

The BedInABox Eco-Lux mattress has good edge support. This means that you will not feel like you are going to roll off the edge of the mattress when you are sitting or lying on it.

We tested the edge support of the Eco-Lux mattress by sitting on the edge and measuring the amount of compression. The mattress compressed only minimally, which is very good. This means that the mattress is able to provide support even when you are sitting or lying on the edge.

This is because the Eco-Lux mattress is made with a combination of memory foam and support foam. The memory foam layer is soft and conforms to your body, while the support foam provides firmness and structure.

We also tested the mattress by applying firm pressure to the edges with our hands. The mattress did not spring back as quickly as some other mattresses, and we were able to push more into it before feeling any resistance.

Overall, the edges of the Eco-Lux mattress may sink in a bit upon applying pressure. This is because the mattress is all foam, and foam is not as supportive as other materials, such as springs. If you are a heavy person, you are more likely to sink into the edges of the mattress. We gave it a 4/5 for edge support.

Noise

The mattress is made with a combination of memory foam and support foam. The memory foam layer is soft and dense, which helps absorb sound. The support foam layer provides structure and prevents the mattress from shaking, which can also help reduce noise.

We dropped a 20-pound ball on the BedInABox Eco-Lux mattress to test its noise isolation performance. The mattress did not make any noise, suggesting that it was silent. We gave the mattress a 5/5 rating for its noise isolation performance.

Sex

A mattress that is suitable for sex should ideally have the following qualities: it should be bouncy, cool, provide good edge support, and be quiet.

The BedInABox Eco-Lux mattress is a good choice for couples who want a comfortable and supportive mattress that is also eco-friendly.

The memory foam conforms to the body and provides pressure relief, which can improve the overall sleep experience for both partners. However, the mattress is not as cool or responsive as some other mattresses. We gave it a 4.6/5 rating.

Pressure Relief

The BedInABox Eco-Lux mattress is designed to provide pressure relief for all sleep positions. The top layer of memory foam conforms to the body and helps to alleviate pressure points, while the support layer provides firmness and prevents the body from sinking too much.

To test the pressure-relieving capabilities of this mattress, we conducted a pressure mapping test. The test measured the pressure applied to different parts of a reviewer's body while they lay on the mattress for 20 minutes.

The results showed that the Eco-Lux mattress effectively reduced pressure on the shoulders, hips, and lower back, which are common areas of discomfort for side sleepers.

The Eco-Lux mattress also provides good pressure relief for back sleepers. The memory foam layer conforms to the spine and helps keep it in alignment. The support layer provides the necessary firmness to prevent the body from sinking too much.

Stomach sleepers may experience more sinkage on the Eco-Lux mattress, but they should still find it comfortable. The memory foam layer will conform to the body and provide some pressure relief. Accordingly, stomach sleepers may prefer a mattress with a bit more firmness.

We gave it a 4.8/5 for pressure relief.
