Unboxing the Birch Luxe Natural Mattress

The Birch Luxe Natural Mattress comes compressed in a box for ease of handling and unpacking.

All you have to do is unpack it by cutting the tape and the wraps, and the mattress will begin to deflate. It took approximately 30 minutes for it to be fully expanded. Additionally, the edges expanded right away, exhibiting excellent edge expansion.

Once the package is opened and the plastic wrapping is removed, you may notice a non-chemical off-gassing odor; therefore, we advise you to leave the mattress in a room that is ventilated for a day or two until the fragrance completely goes away. And don't worry, since Birch Luxe is made from all-natural and organic material, the off-gassing odor has zero toxins.

Firmness, Feel, and Comfort For Birch Luxe Natural Mattress

Birch Luxe Natural Mattress Firmness

Because it varies depending on an individual's body weight and preferred sleeping position, firmness can be subjective. The Birch Luxe Natural is considered a medium-firm mattress. We gave the Birch Luxe's firmness a 7/10.

Birch Luxe Natural Mattress Feel

Once your hands touch the Birch Luxe, you can immediately feel the luxurious, plushy feeling of its surface as it contains layers of wool and cotton padding in addition to spring coils and latex, which are designed to offer a layer of springy support.

The softness and breathability of the mattress encourage ventilation and keep the mattress from overheating, making it an excellent option for couples and hot sleepers.

Birch Luxe will not make you feel like you are sinking too deeply into the mattress; instead, you'll feel like you're "on top" of the mattress.

Because of the individually wrapped coils, the Birch Luxe's comfort and impeccable support became evident to us as we continued to use it. We felt more support in all sleeping positions, and there was no buildup of heat.

Birch Luxe Natural Mattress Comfort

The quilted Euro top cover should hug you as soon as you drop into the mattress, easing you into the cashmere and wool comfort layer. Below the top cover, you'll find two comfort layers and a layer of natural latex provides deep pressure relief.

One thing to keep in mind is that, despite the surface of the mattress seeming soft and cozy, the reinforced coil structure beneath makes the bed somewhat firmer.

Below is a table that further demonstrates the comfort the Birch Luxe Mattress provides for sleepers of all types and weights.

Constructions, Materials, and Design

Materials and Design

The Birch Luxe Natural Mattress is a hybrid mattress with latex and spring coils that work together to provide a layer of springy support, as well as extra layers of wool and cotton padding.

Layers

1. Cover: The natural, organic cotton used to create the quilted cover for the luxurious and breathable Birch Luxe Natural Mattress has a lovely texture to it.
2. Fire Retardant Layer: Rather than using hazardous or artificial fire retardants, each Birch Luxe Natural Mattress uses organic wool to provide natural fire prevention.
3. Luxurious Comfort Layer: These wool fibers give a layer of luxurious softness and help your mattress breathe and not trap heat.
4. Comfort Layers: The elasticity and hygroscopic qualities of our organic wool offer superior comfort, moisture wicking, and temperature control. This layer offers additional cushioning and loft.
5. Pressure Relief Layer: To ease your pressure spots and provide exceptional support, this layer is 100% natural latex.
6. Support Layer: Up to 1,000 individually wrapped coils with enhanced support beneath your hips to assist your spine's alignment, cradle your body, and offer superior edge and lumbar support.
7. Base Layer: In addition to keeping you safe, a second fire-resistant layer composed of organic wool gives the mattress firmness and longevity.

Performance of Birch Luxe Natural Mattress

Cooling

The organic and natural materials used in the Birch Luxe Natural mattress encourage ventilation and temperature management. Cashmere, hygroscopic wool, and natural latex are combined in the soft cotton cover to cool down the mattress, while the coil base keeps heat from being retained.

We tested the Birch Luxe Natural Mattress's cooling capabilities by sleeping on it for 20 minutes and keeping an eye out for any indications of heat retention.

Our test showed no evidence of body heat accumulation, demonstrating the excellent cooling properties of the Birch Luxe Natural Mattress.

The Birch Luxe Natural Mattress is the best option for people who tend to overheat when they sleep, thanks to these qualities.

The Birch Luxe Natural Mattress scores a 4.7/5 for cooling performance.

Responsiveness

We conducted a test in which we set a 20-pound ball on the Birch Luxe Natural Mattress and waited for the ball to settle for one second to test the mattress's responsiveness. Following the ball's removal, we timed how long it took the mattress to fully regain its form.

During our test, the Birch Luxe Natural Mattress's response time was observed at 0.2 seconds. It suggests that the responsiveness of the mattress is above-average.

We rate the responsiveness of the Birch Luxe Natural mattress at 4.7/5.

Motion Isolation

When looking for a mattress, couples typically want one with excellent motion isolation to minimize the noise of their partner getting in and out of bed.

Since the Birch Luxe Natural mattress is a hybrid mattress that lacks foam layers, motion transmission may be a little more noticeable than it would be in a conventional hybrid mattress.

We put a glass half full of water on top of the Birch Luxe Natural Mattress and dropped a 20-pound ball on the other side to see how well it could isolate motion. The water moved slightly during the test, demonstrating average motion isolation of the mattress.

To find out how well the mattress would block out motion from a partner, we ran another test. One individual was made to sleep on one side of the mattress, and the other was allowed to roll around on the other. Some movement was felt on the side of the mattress, according to the individual who was sleeping still.

We gave the Birch Luxe Natural mattress 4.2/5.

Edge Support

A mattress with strong edge support is what those who like to sleep or sit on the edges of the bed search for, and it gives you additional space to sleep on.

It's common knowledge that hybrid mattresses offer superior support, and the Birch Luxe Natural mattress is no exception. Thanks to its coil unit, which offers zonal support and a strengthened border, it excels in the support category. Because your body is heaviest around the hips, shoulders, and knees, these areas are the focus of the support zones.

By exerting pressure on the edges and keeping an eye out for compression levels in the mattress, we tested the edge support. We felt strong counterpressure while pushing, and when we released the pressure, the edges promptly reformed.

Additionally, we sat on the mattress's edges and experienced neither extreme sinking nor a roll-off feeling.

We gave the Birch Luxe Natural mattress 4.7/5.

Noise

A mattress's ability to not transfer noise is necessary for a calm and relaxing night's sleep. It is especially important for couples who share a bed since any noise you or your partner make at night might cause disruptions to your sleep schedule.

We used a 20-pound ball to test the Birch Luxe Natural Mattress's noise reduction capabilities. We listened for any squeaks or noises using very sensitive microphones, but no noises were detected.

The drop hit the surface with a predictable thud, and Birch Luxe Natural Mattress's Euro top of the bed helped to absorb some of the noise and did a good job of isolating any noise because of the coil system.

We discovered that the Birch Luxe Natural Mattress was silent during our testing.

In terms of noise performance, we give the Birch Luxe Natural Mattress a 5/5 rating.

Sex

The Birch Luxe Natural mattress has all of the features that couples often look for bounce, motion isolation, edge support, and a universally pleasing firmness level.

If you sleep in your bed with someone who gets hot easily, you shouldn't worry since Birch Luxe Natural is also cooling and breathable. Its edge support, which enables it to sprawl out across the whole surface of the bed, should also appeal to many couples.

The average bounce levels displayed by the Birch Luxe Natural Mattress are sufficient for comfort and ease of mobility. The mattress is almost noise-free and doesn't make any unsightly creaks or squeaks that might keep you up at night.

The Birch Luxe Natural Mattress provides great edge support, which is crucial for intimacy since it lessens the chance of roll-off and expands the mattress's usable surface area. For added protection, it also gives you a strong and steady perimeter.

In terms of sex performance, Birch Luxe Natural Mattress receives a 4.5/5.

Pressure Relief

In addition to a latex layer specifically made for pressure alleviation, the Birch Luxe Natural boasts three comfort layers. The initial comfort layer molds the pressure spots with a soft sensation that mixes cashmere and wool. Two wool comfort layers and a latex layer that relieves pressure are located farther down.

We performed a pressure map test to see how effectively the Birch Luxe Natural Mattress relieves pressure. In this test, we had a volunteer lie down on the mattress for 20 minutes while we assessed pressure at various body pressure sites.

The pressure map is a visual depiction of pressure distribution throughout the body. The bluer the region, the less pressure is exerted. The redder the region, the more pressure is exerted.

Below is an image that summarizes our results.

• Back Region: The Burch Luxe is a great option for people with back pain because it offers excellent lumber support and maintains the spine's proper alignment while you sleep. The pressure map for the back region showed a relatively consistent blue color throughout all three sleeping positions.
• Shoulders Region: In the pressure map for the side sleeping position, the mattress had a blue hue with a tinge of green in the shoulder area. The Birch Luxe has minimal sinkage because of the organic materials and zoned lumbar support.
• Hips Area: The blue color that covers the hip area on the pressure map indicates how well this mattress relieves pressure because of its bounce. It sinks the hip just enough to maintain appropriate spinal alignment. Stomach sleepers will find great assistance from this feature.

All in all, the Birch Luxe Natural Mattress offers excellent pressure relief for back sleepers. It is also suitable for stomach sleepers, but some may prefer a firmer mattress. This is why we rated this mattress 4.8/5 for pressure relief.
