Unboxing the PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex

The PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Mattress is shipped compressed and rolled in a box. This ensures a smooth and hassle-free delivery experience.

Upon delivery, you can easily unbox the mattress and place it on your child's bed frame. The mattress is just 6 inches thick and weighs between 74 and 94 pounds, so it is easy to lift.

Once you remove the plastic wrapping, the mattress will expand to its full size almost instantly. The corners will also fluff up nicely, indicating great corner expansion.

You may notice a slight odor when you first unbox the mattress. This is because the mattress is made of organic latex, which is a natural material that off-gasses for a short period of time after being compressed. The odor is similar to the smell of new rubber, and it is not harmful. It will dissipate within a few days, and you will be able to sleep on the mattress comfortably.

Firmness, Feel, and Comfort For PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex

PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Firmness

The PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Mattress is a firm mattress with a firmness rating of 8 out of 10. However, the actual firmness may vary depending on your child's weight, age, and sleeping style. For example, a heavier child or a child who sleeps on their side may feel the mattress as being a 7.

The mattress is made with dense Dunlop latex, which is a naturally firm material. The latex provides good support for your child's growing body while also providing some cushioning. This helps to prevent pressure points and ensures that your child gets a good night's sleep.

PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Feel

The PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Mattress feels luxurious and comfortable. The soft, smooth, and breathable organic cotton cover is cool and refreshing to the touch, and it helps to keep your child cool and comfortable throughout the night. The firm yet conforming latex layer provides good support without sinking in too much. It is also soft and enveloping, hugging your child like a gentle embrace.

PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Comfort

The PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Mattress is designed to provide comfort and support for children of all ages. ****The mattress is made with certified organic latex, which is a naturally soft and conforming material. The latex layer is also firm enough to provide good support without being too firm.

As adults, we tested the PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Mattress and were surprised at how comfortable it was for a child's mattress. While we felt that it didn't provide enough support for us due to the lack of coils, we found that it was firm enough to provide good support and cushioning for children. We think that most children would find the mattress very comfortable.

Constructions, Materials, and Design

Materials and Design

The PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Mattress is made with the world's finest certified organic materials, including 6 inches of GOLS-certified solid ARPICO Organic latex, GOTS-certified British Wool, and GOTS-certified Organic Cotton. The mattress is free from harmful chemicals and toxins, making it a safe and healthy choice for your child.

Layers

1. Organic Cotton Cover: The Plushbeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Mattress features a soft and breathable organic cotton cover that is stretched, not woven, to provide the softest, most welcoming sleep surface for your child.
2. British Organic Wool: This fire barrier is made from organic British wool, which is naturally fire-resistant and temperature-regulating. It helps keep your child safe and comfortable while they sleep.
3. ARPICO Organic Latex: A 6-inch layer of ARPICO organic latex absorbs motion transfer and provides a cooler, more comfortable sleep. ARPICO organic latex is a healthier and more durable option than Talalay latex, and it is naturally antimicrobial, making it a great choice for children with allergies.

Performance of PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex

Cooling

Latex is a naturally cooler material than memory foam, making it a good option for hot sleepers. The PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Mattress is made with 6 inches of GOLS-certified Dunlop latex, which is a naturally breathable material that helps regulate temperature. The mattress also has a 100% organic cotton cover, which is another breathable material that helps to keep the sleeper cool.

Although the PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Mattress is made of latex, which is a naturally breathable material, it does not contain any coils or springs. These are often used in hybrid mattresses to improve airflow and cooling. As a result, the mattress may not be as cool as some hybrid mattresses.

The PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Mattress performed well in our cooling tests. After lying on the mattress for 20 minutes, we measured the heat buildup and found that it remained cool overall. However, we did notice that the mattress felt warmer in the area where we slept.

We think kids, however, will not feel as warm as we did on this mattress. We gave it a 4.2/5 for cooling.

Responsiveness

The Dunlop latex layer in the PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Mattress provides a springy, responsive feel that will allow your child to easily adjust positions. This is because latex is a naturally bouncy material that quickly returns to its original shape after being compressed.

To test the responsiveness of the PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Mattress, we placed a 20-pound ball on the mattress and waited for it to settle. We then removed the ball and measured how long it took for the mattress to fully recover its shape. The mattress took about 0.9 seconds to fully recover

This indicates that the mattress is responsive and will suit children who are very active and move around a lot on their beds. However, hybrid mattresses are generally considered to be more responsive than latex mattresses. This is because hybrid mattresses often contain coils or springs, which help provide more bounce and support.

We gave it a 4.5/5 for responsiveness.

Motion Isolation

The PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Mattress has average motion isolation. This is because the mattress is made with Dunlop latex, which is known to have a little bounce. So, motion transfer is a common issue for beds made entirely from this material.

To test how well the PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Mattress isolates motion, we conducted a simple test. We placed a glass half full of water on top of the mattress and dropped a 20-pound ball on the other side. The impact of the ball caused the water in the glass to slosh slightly, which suggests that the mattress does not have the best motion isolation.

To further test the motion isolation of the mattress, we had our partner lie on one side while we rolled around on the other. Our partner reported that they did feel some movement on their side, but it wouldn't wake them up. This indicates that the mattress has average motion isolation.

We also had our partner lie on one side while we rolled around on the other. They reported feeling some movement, but it was not enough to wake them up.

However, since children typically don't share beds, this average motion isolation won't be a deal-breaker for most kids. We gave the mattress a 3.5/5 for motion isolation.

Edge Support

The PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Mattress has solid edge support, which is especially evident when compared to memory foam mattresses. This is because latex sinks less and provides more springiness than foam.

Dunlop latex is a dense and durable material that is resistant to premature sagging and deep impressions. This means that your child can lie on the edge of the mattress without you having to worry about them rolling off.

In our testing, we pushed the edges of the mattress with our hands and were able to push in slightly before feeling any resistance. We also sat on the edge of the mattress and sank in slightly, but not enough to feel like we were going to fall off. Overall, we gave the mattress a 4/5 for edge support.

Children who sleep near the edge of their bed will likely find the PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Mattress to be comfortable and supportive.

Noise

The PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Mattress is very quiet. This is because it is made of Dunlop latex, which is a dense and relatively noise-free material. When you move around on the mattress, it does not make noise.

We tested the noise isolation of the mattress by dropping a 20-pound ball onto it and listening for any squeaking. We were able to hear the ball drop, but it was not a loud noise.

Based on our test, we gave the mattress a 5/5 for noise isolation.

Pressure Relief

Pressure relief is a key factor in ensuring that growing children get the rest they need to grow. The PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Mattress has good pressure relief thanks to its supportive and cushioning Dunlop latex.

To assess the pressure relief of the mattress, we had a reviewer who weighs around 100 pounds, the average weight of a child, take a 20-minute nap on the mattress. We then measured the pressure in different body zones to create a pressure map. The pressure map below shows the results.

As you can see, the pressure map showed that the mattress provided good pressure relief for the back and stomach sleeping positions, as the pressure map was mostly blue in these areas. However, the pressure map was slightly green for the side sleeping position, indicating that the mattress may not be as comfortable for side sleepers.

Overall, the PlushBeds Healthy Child Organic Latex Mattress is designed to provide superior pressure relief for growing children. We gave it a 4.9/5.
