PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam Mattress Overview

Pros

• Breathable: The PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress features highly breathable materials, such as its cotton cover and its unique memory foam layers. Such breathable materials allow for steady airflow through the mattress' internals.
• Eco-Friendly: PlushBeds takes pride in manufacturing environmentally friendly mattresses, and the Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress is no exception. It features CertiPUR-US® memory foam and is backed with a GREENGUARD Gold certificate.
• Good Value for Money: The PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress is one of PlushBeds' cheapest sofa mattresses. Yet, it features the high-end materials that PlushBeds use in their luxurious, high-end mattresses.
• Pain Relief: The PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress has a medium-firm feel, making it both comfortable and supportive. This helps distribute sleepers' weight evenly on the bed's sleep surface and prevents any sinkage, which eases pressure points.

Cons

• Not Suitable for Heavy-weight Sleepers: Heavy-weight sleepers often choose a highly supportive bed that can lift their bodies and keep them in good alignment. However, the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress is not a good option for these folks, as it is an all-foam bed. An innerspring or hybrid mattress would be a better choice for heavy-weight sleepers.

Who we Recommend the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress for

• Combination Sleepers: Combination sleepers need a bouncy bed that allows them to move and switch sleeping positions freely. Due to its layers of unique memory foam, that doesn't sink too much, you shouldn't face any problems tossing and turning on your bed all night, as it is bouncy and buoyant.
• Budget-Shoppers: If you're looking for a durable sofa bed that will give you the sleep experience of a high-end mattress, the Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress from PlushBeds is an excellent option. It's made with long-lasting, premium materials, yet it has the price tag of a budget-friendly mattress.
• Environmentally Conscious Shoppers: The PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress is made with eco-friendly materials and GreenGuard Gold certified.

Unboxing the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam Mattress

The PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress arrived to us compressed in a box. When we received it, we found that the box was easy to carry and set up by two people, so make sure you get some help with it. To set up the mattress, place it on your desired sofa, carefully cut the plastic wrap, and leave it to fully expand.

Like most bed-in-a-box mattresses, the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam Mattress took a few hours to fully expand to its full 4.5" size. We also noticed that the mattress expanded all the way to its very edges. Good edge expansion makes your bed look more sleek and indicates that it has supportive edges.

Moreover, the majority of newly unboxed mattresses release a potent odor, which is called off-gassing. Yet, the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress only had a new product smell that faded with strong airflow. This didn't come as a surprise to us, as this sofa mattress is GreenGuard Gold certified, which means that it is free of harmful chemicals. So, you can rest assured that your sofa bed won't emit any toxins in your room.

Overall, the unboxing experience of the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress was a smooth and hassle-free one, which is definitely a plus for PlushBeds.

The PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress scored a 6/10 on our firmness scale, with 1 being the softest, and 10 being the firmest. This means that it is a medium-firm bed, which usually meets the needs of most sleepers.

Back and side sleepers would find this level of firmness very comfortable, as it would strike the perfect balance of support and comfort. This provides them with a great spinal alignment and restful sleep. Similarly, lightweight stomach sleepers would enjoy the medium-firm feel of the Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress. It would cradle their pressure point and offer them a healthy sleep posture.

PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam Mattress Comfort

The amount of comfort you get from any mattress depends on your body weight, preferred sleeping position, and the kind of materials you like. This medium-firm memory foam sofa mattress is comfortable for most sleepers who weigh less than 250 lbs.

It gives back sleepers the perfect mix of comfort and support, and equally distributes their weight on the sleep surface. Similarly, it allows stomach sleepers to maintain a healthy sleep posture and prevents them from sinking too much into it. Side sleepers would get optimal comfort from this sofa bed, as its medium-firm feel would help cushion their hips and shoulders.

Performance of the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam Mattress

Cooling

If you tend to sleep hot, or simply don’t like the feeling of a hot sofa bed, then getting a mattress with good cooling performance is essential for you.

We ran our standard test to evaluate the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress’ cooling performance. The first test consists of sleeping on each side for a 20-minute nap. When we did this test, we found that the mattress remained at a neutral temperature while sleeping on each side.

Such good cooling performance is expected from a memory foam bed, as it is a breathable material that allows the air to flow through the layers of the mattress. This makes the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress a great option for those who sleep hot.

We rated the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress’ cooling performance a 4.7/5.

Responsiveness

Looking for a mattress with good responsiveness performance is very important. Good responsiveness means that it is easy to move and switch positions on your mattress surface, without feeling stuck in it.

We did our standard test to evaluate the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress’ responsiveness.

Our test consists of placing a 20 lb ball onto the surface and then removing it. This test helps us evaluate how quickly the mattress responds to pressure. While doing this test, we found that this sofa bed takes about 1.2 seconds to recover to its initial form. This indicates that the mattress is averagely responsive as memory foam typically is less responsive.

We rated the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress’ responsiveness a 4.3/5

Motion Isolation

If you are a light sleeper who is easily disrupted by your partner’s tossing and turning all night, then a mattress with good motion isolation performance would be ideal for you.

We assessed the PlushBeds Latex Sofa Bed mattress’ motion isolation by running a couple of our standard tests.

The first test consists of placing a glass of water on one side of the mattress and dropping a 20 lb ball on the other side. This helps us examine how much motion is propagated to the glass of water. While doing this test, we found that the water glass was hardly affected by the drop of the ball.

The second test involves rolling on one side of the mattress and having our partner report to us the motion felt on the other side of the mattress. This test also indicated that the mattress allows for little motion transfer.

Being an all-foam bed, the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress does an excellent job of isolating motion, so you shouldn’t worry about being disturbed by your partner’s movement on the mattress.

With that being said, we rated the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress’ motion isolation performance a 4.8/5.

Edge Support

A mattress with strong edges that don’t compress easily allows you to use up the entire sleep surface of the mattress, and sleep near the edges without feeling that you will fall out of bed. This would make your bed feel bigger, and prevent premature sagging, as you won’t be forced to sleep only towards the center of the mattress. We tested the PlushBeds Latex Sofa Bed mattress’ edge support by performing two tests.

The first test we did consisted of applying pressure to the edges of the mattress and observing how much it sinks. When we did this test, we found that the edges of the mattress did compress a little.

The second test we did involved sitting on the mattress’ edges and seeing how well it holds body weight. When we did this test, we found that we could sit on the edges of the bed, and still feel supported.

It is expected that an all-foam bed wouldn’t have exceptionally supportive edges. However, the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress provides decent edge support, so you shouldn’t worry about rolling out of the bed at any point.

We rated the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress’ edge support a 4.3/5.

Noise

We did our standard noise test to see if the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress makes any noises or squeaks. Our test consists of dropping a heavy ball on the surface of the mattress, and examining how much noise it causes through highly sensitive mics.

When we performed our noise test, we found the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress is within the “silent” mattress category. It doesn’t cause any noises or squeaks, which is not a surprise for an all-foam bed that has no coils in its construction.

Given our results, we rated the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress’ noise a well-deserved 5/5.

Sex

We determine if a mattress is good for sex based on a number of elements, such as cooling performance, edge support, responsiveness, and more. Based on our test results, the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress would be a good option for sex.

It has a good cooling performance due to featuring breathable materials such as cotton and memory foam in it. It also has a comfort layer of responsive plush foam, making it a bouncy and buoyant sofa bed. Moreover, the mattress provides a decent edge support that would allow you to use up the entire sleep surface of the mattress, without worrying about rolling out of bed.

Therefore, we rated the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress’ sex performance a solid 4.5/5.

Pressure Relief

We tested the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress’ 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.

Back sleepers - The mattress’ medium-firm feel would keep back sleepers in a perfect spinal alignment. It is soft enough to hug their shoulders and fill in their lumbar area, and firm enough to prevent them from sinking into the bed.

Stomach sleepers - Stomach sleepers would also be in a perfect sleep posture while sleeping on this mattress. It would properly support their hips, which prevents lower back pain.

Side Sleepers - Side sleepers would feel that this sofa bed cradles their hips and shoulders, and keeps them well supported. This would ease their pressure points and give them a comfortable, healthy sleep.

Yet, it is noteworthy that this sofa bed is comfortable and pressure-relieving for sleepers who weigh less than 250 lbs. Heavy-weight sleepers would sink too much into this memory foam sofa bed, which would cause pressure buildup. An innerspring or hybrid mattress would be a better option for them.

We rated the PlushBeds Sofa Bed Memory Foam mattress pressure relief a solid 4.7/5.
