Performance of PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sofa Sleeper

Cooling

If you tend to sleep hot or live in a warm place, then the cooling performance of your sofa bed is an important factor to think about.

We tested the PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa mattress’ cooling performance by running our standard test.

We took a 20-minute nap on the mattress. We found that the PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa maintained a cool feel, regardless of the sleeping position.

Thanks to having breathable properties in its construction, the PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa remained cool and comfortable all night.

Therefore, we rated the PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa’s cooling performance a solid 5/5.

Responsiveness

Responsiveness refers to how bouncy and buoyant your bed is. Therefore, responsiveness is very important, as it means that your mattress is easy to move and changes sleeping positions on. To evaluate the PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa’s responsiveness, we did our standard test.

Our test involves dropping a 20 lb ball onto the mattress surface and then removing it. This helps us examine how fast the mattress recovers into its original form, after being subjected to pressure. When we did this test, we found that the mattress regained its original form in 0.4 seconds, making it a good responsive mattress

The PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa’s good responsiveness didn’t come as a surprise to us, as it has a comfort layer of plush memory foam, which is a highly responsive material. Therefore, moving on the surface of the PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa mattress should be smooth and easy. This makes it a great option for combination sleepers.

We rated the PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa’s responsiveness a solid 4.7/5.

Motion Isolation

Motion isolation is essential, if you share the bed with a partner. It refers to the ability of the mattress to absorb motion, allowing you not to feel your partner’s tossing and turning on the mattress. To evaluate the the PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa’s motion isolation performance, we ran a couple of our standard tests.

The first test involves placing a glass full of water on one side of the bed and dropping a heavy ball on the other side. This test helps us examine how much motion is propagated from one side of the bed to the other. When we did this test, we found that the water inside the glass was hardly affected by the ball drop.

Another test that we did consisted of rolling on one side of the bed and having our partner report the motion felt on the other side. Similarly, our partner felt very little motion on the other side of the bed.

Being a foam mattress, the PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa does a great job of absorbing motion. This makes it an excellent option for couples who have different sleeping styles.

We rated the PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa’s motion isolation performance a solid 4.5/5.

Edge Support

Mattresses with strong and supportive edges allow you to use up the entire sleep surface of the bed, which makes it feel bigger. It also allows you to sit and sleep near the edges of your mattress, and not be forced to sleep near the center, which prevents early sagging. We tested the edge support of the PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa by running two of our standard tests.

The first test we did consisted of applying pressure to the edges of the mattress and examining how much it skins. This test indicates if the mattress has strong edges that make you feel supported while sleeping. When we did this test, we found that the edges sunk slightly. However, you shouldn’t feel worried about rolling out of your mattress.

The second test we did involved sitting on the mattress’ edges and seeing how well it holds body weight. The result of the test was similar, as the mattress did a decent job holding up the weight.

For an all-foam bed, the ****PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa’ has decent edge support. Yet, it is not as good as hybrid mattresses that have coils near their perimeter.

Therefore, we rate the PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa’s edge support a 4.3/5.

Noise

We did our standard noise test to see if the PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa causes any noises or squeaks while you are sleeping on it. Our test involves dropping a heavy ball onto the surface of the bed and reporting if it makes any noises by using highly sensitive mics.

When we did this test, we found that the PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa is within the “silent mattresses” category. This is another plus, especially if you are a light sleeper who is easily disturbed by noise.

We rated the PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa’s noise performance a solid 5/5.

Sex

We decide if a mattress is a good option for sex based on a number of factors: responsiveness, cooling, and edge support. Given the results of our tests so far, the ****PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa would be a good option for sex.

It is made with memory foam, which gives it a bouncy feel that allows you to move freely and change positions on it. It also has an excellent cooling performance due to the gel-infused memory foam. Moreover, the bed also provides decent edge support that would allow you to utilize the entire sleep surface.

We rated the PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa’s sex performance a solid 4.5/5.

Pressure Relief

Pressure relief is an important factor to consider when choosing a new mattress. This is because pressure points, which are areas of the body where pressure concentrates, can be painful and disrupt sleep.

We tested the PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa’s pressure relief by taking a 20-minute nap on the mattress and reporting the pressure caused by different body parts. The pressure map below shows how the mattress responds to each sleeping position.

For back sleepers, the mattress would provide excellent pressure relief. It is medium-firm, so it strikes a perfect balance between being supportive and soft, which supports the weight of back sleepers and eases their pressure points.

Side sleepers should also get good pressure relief from this bed. Its medium-firmness hugs their shoulders and hips, which eases pressure on these areas, and keeps side sleepers in a healthy sleep posture.

Stomach sleepers also should feel very comfortable sleeping on this bed. It is firm enough to support their hips and prevents excessive sinkage, which protects stomach sleepers from lower back pain.

However, heavy sleepers would sink too much into this mattress, as an all-foam bed wouldn’t provide them with the necessary support. Therefore, a firmer or hybrid bed would be a better option for sleepers above 250 lbs.

We rated the PlushBeds Gel Mattress for Sleeper Sofa’s pressure relief a 4.6/5.
