Unboxing the Titan Plus Elite

The Titan Plus Elite mattress arrived in a neatly compressed large box, which made it easier to maneuver through doorways and hallways than a fully expanded mattress. With two people, we carefully lifted the box to the bedroom and laid it down near the bed frame. Opening the box was straightforward, and sliding the rolled-up mattress out was manageable with minimal effort.

We used scissors to carefully cut through the outer plastic, making sure not to damage the mattress itself. As soon as the plastic was removed, the mattress began expanding immediately. The center of the mattress reached its full shape in just a few minutes, while the corners took slightly longer, about 8–12 hours, to fully expand and firm up.

During this process, we noticed a faint chemical odor—common with foam products—which is known as off-gassing. Although the smell was present initially, it wasn’t overwhelming and dissipated within a few hours, especially after opening windows for ventilation. The off-gassing wasn’t a major issue, and by the end of the day, the room smelled fresh, and the mattress was fully expanded and ready to use.

Firmness, Feel, and Comfort For Titan Plus Elite

Titan Plus Elite Firmness

The Titan Plus Elite is rated as a medium-firm mattress, with a firmness level of 6.5/10. This balance between firmness and softness makes it supportive enough for heavier sleepers while still providing a layer of comfort.

Titan Plus Elite Feel

The feel of the Titan Plus Elite strikes a balance between responsiveness and support. The TitanFlex Comfort Foam offers a gentle contouring effect, adapting to your body shape without creating a sinking sensation.

The micro-coils, combined with the firmer support from the TitanCore individually encased coils, provide a slightly bouncy and responsive feel, ensuring ease of movement across the mattress.

Overall, the Titan Plus Elite feels firm, but the top layers deliver just enough cushioning for a comfortable night’s sleep, especially for heavier sleepers who benefit from the extra support.

Titan Plus Elite Comfort

The comfort of the Titan Plus Elite mattress is defined by its balance between support and pressure relief, making it a solid choice for plus-size sleepers and those needing extra durability. We evaluated the Titan Plus Elite’s comfort by performing tests on individuals with different weight categories and sleep preferences.

For back sleepers, the Titan Plus Elite offers excellent support, ensuring the spine stays aligned while evenly distributing body weight. The TitanFlex Comfort Foam provides just enough cushioning to prevent discomfort in the lower back without causing the body to sink too much into the mattress.

For stomach sleepers, the Titan Plus Elite may not be the best option. While the mattress provides firm support, some stomach sleepers might find that their hips don’t get enough elevation, potentially leading to spinal misalignment. This can cause discomfort, especially for lighter individuals who may not press into the mattress as much.

For side sleepers, the Titan Plus Elite might feel too firm, particularly for those who are lighter or prefer more cushioning at pressure points like the hips and shoulders. The mattress offers support but lacks the deep contouring that side sleepers typically need for proper alignment and comfort. Heavier side sleepers might find it more tolerable, but it’s generally not the best choice for those seeking soft pressure relief in this position.

The results of our test are summarized below:

Performance of the Titan Plus Elite

Cooling

We tested the cooling performance of the Titan Plus Elite mattress for 20 minutes by lying on it and monitoring its heat retention.

The Titan Plus Elite showed no significant signs of body heat build-up on its surface, demonstrating its effective cooling abilities. The top layer features the GlacioTex+ Cooling Cloud Pillow Top, which is designed to dissipate excess body heat and maintain a temperature-regulated sleep environment, reducing the risk of overheating.

The GlacioTex+ cooling cover incorporates GlacioTex technology, known for its superior cooling and moisture-wicking properties, providing a cool and dry sleep surface for those who tend to sleep hot. Furthermore, the individually wrapped TitanCore coils help enhance airflow and ventilation by creating natural air channels, promoting air circulation throughout the mattress.

The Titan Plus Elite mattress scored 4.8/5 in our cooling test, confirming its ability to keep sleepers cool throughout the night.

Responsiveness

To evaluate the responsiveness of the Titan Plus Elite mattress, we conducted a test by placing a 20-pound ball on the mattress and allowing it to settle for a second. After removing the ball, we measured how long it took for the mattress to fully return to its original shape.

The Titan Plus Elite mattress took approximately 0.5 seconds to recover completely, which falls in line with the typical response time for medium-firm mattresses. This indicates strong responsiveness, allowing the mattress to quickly adapt to movements, which is important for combination sleepers who shift positions during the night.

The TitanFlex Comfort Foam in the mattress enhances this responsiveness by adjusting rapidly to pressure and movement. This makes it easier for sleepers to change positions without feeling stuck in the mattress, ensuring a more dynamic and responsive sleep experience.

Overall, the Titan Plus Elite scores 4.7/5 in terms of responsiveness, providing good adaptability for sleepers who prioritize ease of movement.

Motion Isolation

To evaluate the motion isolation of the Titan Plus Elite mattress, we conducted a test by placing a half-filled glass of water on one side of the mattress and dropping a 20-pound ball on the opposite side. During the test, we observed that the water in the glass remained steady, indicating the mattress’s ability to absorb and isolate motion effectively, even with a significant impact.

We further assessed the motion isolation by having two people share the mattress. One person lay still on one side, while the other person moved around on the opposite side. The person lying still reported only minor movement from the other side, demonstrating that the mattress significantly minimizes motion transfer between partners.

Despite its strong responsiveness, the Titan Plus Elite performs well in preventing motion disturbances, thanks to the individually encased TitanCore coils. Each coil reacts independently to pressure, allowing for localized motion absorption and ensuring minimal disturbance when one partner shifts or gets in and out of bed.

We rate the Titan Plus Elite a 4.5/5 for motion isolation, providing excellent performance for couples who prioritize undisturbed sleep.

Edge Support

To evaluate the edge support of the Titan Plus Elite, we applied pressure to the edges of the mattress and closely monitored the compression response. The mattress provided strong counterpressure, and the edges regained their original shape quickly after the pressure was released, indicating reliable structural integrity.

We also performed a sitting test along the edges and found minimal sinkage. There was no roll-off sensation, making the edges feel secure and stable, which is essential for sleepers who prefer sitting or sleeping near the edge of the bed.

The TitanCore coils, made from reinforced steel, are strategically placed around the perimeter of the mattress. This reinforcement increases the edge support, maximizing the usable surface area, and allowing sleepers to feel stable when sitting or sleeping near the edge.

The Titan Plus Elite scored 4.5/5 in our edge support performance test, proving it offers solid support along the edges, making it suitable for those who value stability and security on the sides of the mattress.

Noise

We conducted a noise test on the Titan Plus Elite mattress by dropping a 20-pound ball onto its surface and using sensitive microphones to detect any sounds. The test revealed no squeaks or creaks, confirming that the mattress was silent.

The noise-free design is attributed to the individually encased TitanCore coils, which prevent metal-on-metal friction that can cause noise. Additionally, the high-quality foam layers help absorb sound, ensuring a quiet sleep environment. This makes the mattress an excellent option for those who are sensitive to noise disturbances at night.

We give the Titan Plus Elite a 5/5 for noise performance.

Sex

When assessing the suitability of the Titan Plus Elite for sex, we took into account factors such as bounce, edge support, noise level, and responsiveness.

The mattress offers moderate bounce, which is sufficient for couples without being too excessive. The strong edge support allows couples to use the entire surface area without fear of roll-off, making it comfortable for intimate activities.

The TitanFlex Comfort Foam contributes to the mattress's responsiveness, ensuring that sleepers can move without feeling stuck.

We rate the Titan Plus Elite a 4.5/5 for sex performance.

Pressure Relief

We used a pressure mapping test to evaluate how the Titan Plus Elite mattress distributes weight and alleviates pressure in different sleeping positions. The pressure map shows areas of low to high pressure, with colors ranging from blue (indicating low pressure) to red (indicating high pressure).

The results of the test can be seen below:

• Back Sleepers: The pressure map showed predominantly blue and green colors in the lumbar region, indicating good pressure relief. There were some slight areas of yellow around the shoulders and hips, which shows that pressure in these regions is slightly higher but still within a comfortable range. Overall, back sleepers experience good support and alignment with minimal pressure build-up.
• Side Sleepers: For side sleepers, the pressure map displayed more areas of green with some yellow around the shoulders and hips, which are common pressure points in this position. While heavier side sleepers may find the pressure relief adequate, lighter side sleepers might experience a bit more firmness, leading to noticeable pressure at these points. There were no red areas, which indicates that while pressure exists, it's not excessive.
• Stomach Sleepers: The pressure map for stomach sleepers revealed mostly green with a small amount of yellow around the hips, showing that the mattress provides moderate pressure relief. The medium-firm feel of the mattress helps keep the hips elevated and aligned, preventing excessive pressure in the midsection. No red areas were observed, meaning stomach sleepers will receive sufficient support without extreme discomfort.

Overall, the Titan Plus Elite earned a 4.3/5 for pressure relief, providing good support for back sleepers and reasonable relief for side and stomach sleepers, particularly for heavier individuals. The absence of red areas on the pressure map indicates that the mattress distributes pressure evenly without any significant hot spots or discomfort zones.
