Titan Plus Luxe Mattress Overview

Pros

• Excellent Pressure Relief: The Titan Plus Luxe mattress includes a combination of materials that allows it to effectively minimize and eliminate pressure points, particularly in sensitive areas such as the hips and shoulders.
• Withstands Heavy Weights: Titan mattresses are built to accommodate to heavier loads, without affecting their comfort or performance. The Titan Plus Luxe mattress is an ideal choice for plus-size sleepers seeking a plush and comfortable mattress that can still provide sufficient support and durability.
• Perfect for Side Sleeping: Side sleepers tend to find comfort in mattresses with a softer and more plush surface. The Titan Plus Luxe differs from the Titan Plus in terms of firmness and comfort. It incorporates materials that better contour the body and allow it to slightly sink, providing great pressure relief around the hips and shoulders for a comfortable and pain-free sleep experience.
• Effective Cooling: This mattress incorporates a premium quilted top cover infused with gel foam. This gel-like substance promotes temperature regulation by effectively dissipating body heat away from the mattress, maintaining a cool sleep environment. Sleepers can also choose to add the optional GlacioTex™ cooling cover, which is known for its excellent cooling and moisture-wicking abilities. These features make the Titan Plus Luxe a worthwhile investment for individuals who tend to get night sweats

Cons

• Too Firm for Lighter Sleepers: The Titan Plus Luxe mattress is specifically designed for heavier sleepers and to hold heavy loads. Despite its upgraded surface that provides a more comforting and plush surface, its firmness profile still may feel relatively too firm for lighter sleepers. Other alternative options may be more fitting for sleepers of less body weight.

Who we Recommend the Titan Plus Luxe Mattress for

• Side Sleepers: The Titan Plus Luxe’s surface allows the body to comfortably sink, relieving pressure around the hips and shoulders areas while providing adequate support. The TitanFlex™ Comfort and Energex™ Transition foams, combined, promote body contouring and conform to the body’s natural curves. This allows side sleepers to enjoy a plush and comfortable sleep surface, without waking up with a morning stiff.
• Those who Suffer From Joint or Back Pain: The Titan Plus Luxe mattress is the go-to option for individuals dealing with joint pain. Its plush yet supportive surface delivers optimal comfort and eliminates pressure points in critical areas such as the hips, shoulders, and back. Its ability to provide proper spinal alignment and targeted support helps reduce strains, offering sleepers pain-free and restful sleep.
• Plus-Size Sleepers: The Titan Plus Luxe bed can withstand up to 1000 lbs. This is because it is engineered to fit the needs of heavier sleepers while providing comfort and stability. Sleepers can rest assured that their Titan Plus Luxe mattress will last them a fairly long time thanks to its robust construction that prevents it from sagging or losing its original shape.

Unboxing the Titan Plus Luxe Mattress

We received the Titan Plus Luxe mattress compressed in a box. Titan makes pretty heavy beds, which is why we suggest you get the help of a friend, as handling it on your own may be quite a struggle.

We placed the mattress onto our sleeping surface and unrolled it, monitoring its expansion time as well as its edges. The Titan Plus Luxe lasted a full day to completely reach its intended size and firmness. The edges of this mattress are reinforced around its perimeter, which leads to it taking a bit longer to fully expand. However, once expanded, they filled nicely with no dents, indicating good corner expansion.

The Titan Plus Luxe mattress surprisingly did not give off a strong initial odor upon unpacking it. We waited for the mattress’s smell to completely dissipate, and the off-gassing period recorded was 3 days. This is considered shorter than the average off-gassing period of 4 days.

Firmness, Feel, and Comfort For Titan Mattress

Titan Plus Luxe Mattress Firmness

The Titan mattress has a medium-firm feel, scoring 6/10 on the firmness scale. This means it prioritizes comfort and plushness while still providing the required level of support.

This firmness profile appeals to mainly side, stomach sleepers, and people looking for a softer, yet supportive mattress surface. The Titan Plus Luxe is specifically designed to withstand heavier weights, which means it can effectively promote spinal alignment.

This mattress incorporates the TitanFlex Comfort and Energex Transition foams, which give it the perfect balance of comfort and support. The TitanFlex Comfort foam adds a significant degree of plushness that offers sleepers a comfortable and pressure-relieving surface. As for the Energex Transition foam, it creates a smooth transition between the comfort and support layers, for a seamless and consistent sleep surface.

Titan Plus Luxe Mattress Feel

When lying down on the Titan Plus Luxe, we experienced an initial soft feel and plushness from its top layers. The TitanFlex Comfort Foam and quilted cover infused with gel both enable the mattress to gently envelop the body, relieving pain in sensitive areas and allowing sleepers to enjoy the cloud-like feel.

This does not affect the mattress’s support delivery, as it incorporates a system of up to 900 individually wrapped TitanCore coils that are considered to be the mattress’s supportive core. This and the bottom-most high-density base foam provide the mattress with adequate support and great durability, preventing excessive sinkage, especially for plus-size sleepers.

Overall, the Titan Plus Luxe mattress gives off a cushioning feel through its responsive top layers without compromising the level of support provided. This caters to a wide range of sleep preferences, ensuring the satisfaction of most sleepers.

Titan Plus Luxe Mattress Comfort

The comfort level of a mattress is influenced significantly by a sleeper's weight and their preferred sleeping position. We evaluated the Titan Plus Luxe’s comfort by performing tests on individuals with different weight categories and sleep preferences.

We found that this mattress performed best in terms of comfort for side sleepers, specifically ones of heavier body weights. The plush and soft sleeping surface of this mattress allows it to cradle the hips and shoulders, promoting a healthy and pressure-relieving posture, leading to a much more comfortable sleep experience.

On the other hand, our tests revealed a slightly less comfortable experience when it came to lightweight sleepers. Although this mattress comes with top layers that add plushness and comfort to its surface, its robust construction might potentially feel firmer than what lightweight sleepers may like. A sleeping surface that feels too firm can lead to the formation of pressure points and discomfort.

We will discuss below the results shown in our pressure relief test.

Constructions, Materials, and Design

Materials and Design

The Titan Plus Luxe mattress is designed to deliver exceptional comfort and support while maintaining a cool sleep surface. It is topped with a premium quilted cover infused with gel foam. This offers the mattress’s surface a great response and an excellent cooling effect. An optional GlacioTex™ cooling cover is available for extra thermal regulation and moisture-wicking features.

Layers

1. Optional GlacioTex™ Cover: This optional layer offers a cooling cover that provides sleepers with effective cooling upon contact, maintaining a temperature-regulated sleep environment. The GlacioTex™ technology helps dissipate body heat and promote a cool sleep surface, which is a great addition for those who tend to sleep hot during the night.
2. Quilted Top: This quilted top, infused with gel foam, promotes a cool sleep surface, further enhancing the temperature regulation of the mattress. The gel infusion allows for excellent responsiveness by letting the mattress adapt to your body’s natural curves and movements.
3. TitanFlex™ Comfort Foam: This layer of TitanFlex™ Comfort Foam enhances the mattress’s overall responsiveness, promoting contouring and alleviating pressure points for a comfortable sleep. It allows the mattress to naturally conform to your body’s natural curves, maintaining proper spinal alignment and maximizing comfort throughout the night.
4. Energex Transition Foam: The Energex Transition foam provides the mattress with deeper compression support that, paired with the TitanFlex Comfort Foam enhances the contouring and cushioning abilities of the the Titan Plus Luxe. It also acts as a transitional layer for a balanced and smooth transition between the support core of the mattress and its comfort layers.
5. TitanCore Coils: The Titan Plus Luxe comes with a set of up to 900 individually encased coils that serve as the mattress’s supportive core. The individual wrapping allows for each coil to adapt to the body’s movements independently, further isolating motion. It allows for a ton of airflow by forming natural air channels, maintaining a temperature-regulated mattress.
6. High-density Base Foam: This dense foam layer reinforces the mattress’s layers and core for enhanced durability and stability. It maintains the mattress’s structure, preventing it from sagging over time or potential tear and wear.

Performance of Titan Plus Luxe Mattress

Cooling

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

The Titan Plus Luxe mattress did not reveal any signs of body heat build-up on its surface, which means it performed well and has great and effective cooling abilities.

The top layer is a quilted cover with gel-infused foam that dissipates excessive body heat, eliminating the chances of heat retention and maintaining a temperature-regulated sleep environment. In addition, an optional GlacioTex cover is available for an additional fee.

This cover is integrated with the GlacioTex technology, known for its excellent cooling abilities and moisture-wicking properties. Adding this ensures a cool and dry sleep environment, benefitting sleepers who get hot during the night. The individually wrapped TitanCore coils enhance airflow and ventilation by forming natural air paths that allow air to flow throughout the mattress.

The Titan Plus Luxe mattress rates a 4.8/5 on our cooling test.

Responsiveness

To evaluate the responsiveness of the Titan Plus Luxe mattress, we conducted a test where we put a 20-pound ball on the mattress and waited for a second for the ball to settle. After that, we removed the ball and measured the time it took for the mattress to completely regain its original shape.

The Titan Plus Luxe mattress lasted around 0.4 seconds for complete recovery which is the average response time. This indicates excellent responsiveness performance in this mattress.

This mattress consists of a TitanFlex Comfort Foam that boasts great responsiveness by allowing the mattress to quickly adapt to the sleeper’s body shape and movement. This, in addition to the Energex Transition Foam, offers a more dynamic sleep experience, perfect for those who suffer from mobility issues.

The Titan Plus Luxe scores a 5/5 in terms of responsiveness.

Motion Isolation

To check the motion isolation of the mattress, we conducted a test. We placed a glass that was half full of water on the top of the mattress and then dropped a 20-pound ball on the other side. During the test, we observed that the water did not move around at all. This indicates that the mattress has an excellent ability to isolate motion.

We conducted another test to assess the effectiveness of the mattress in reducing motion transfer between two people sharing a bed. One person lay on one side of the mattress while the other person moved around on the opposite side. The person who was still reported that they felt slight movement coming from the other side of the mattress.

Despite the mattress’s excellent responsiveness, it does not affect its ability to absorb and isolate motion. This mattress can effectively prevent the transfer of motion across its surface area, thanks to the individually encasing design of the TitanCore coil system. It allows each coil to move on its own, reacting separately to your body’s movements. This ensures the prevention of disturbances of one partner when the other moves around during the night.

We rate the Titan Plus Luxe mattress a 4.5/5 for motion isolation performance.

Edge Support

To evaluate the edge support of the Titan Plus Luxe, we applied pressure to the edges and observed the mattress for any compression. We found that the layers provided excellent counterpressure, and the edges quickly regained their original shape when we released the pressure.

We also sat on the edges of the mattress and did not feel any level of sinkage, and got no roll-off sensation from doing so, indicating great edge support.

This mattress incorporates TitanCore coils, made entirely from steel, that are reinforced around its perimeter. This promotes its edge support, maximizing its usable surface area. This is also beneficial for those who prefer sleeping or sitting on the sides of the bed, allowing them to feel secure and preventing any roll-off sensation.

The Titan Plus Luxe mattress scores a 4.5/5 on our edge support performance test.

Noise

We conducted a noise test on the Titan Plus Luxe mattress by dropping a 20-pound ball onto it. We used highly sensitive microphones to listen for any squeaks or noises, but we heard nothing.

This mattress’s design helps it perform quietly without disturbing sleepers at night. Its TitanCore coils are individually encased which eliminates the production of any noise from this mattress. It also includes high-quality layers of foam that effectively absorb any potential squeaks or creaks, ensuring a quiet and restful sleep environment, and benefitting sensitive sleepers.

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

Sex

When assessing the suitability and performance of a mattress for sex, multiple factors are taken into account, such as its ability to provide bounce, edge support, noise level, and responsiveness.

The bounce levels on the Titan Plus Luxe mattress are moderate relative to most mattresses out there. As for edge support, couples can use up the mattress’s entire surface area and fully enjoy their intimate moments without getting any roll-off sensation.

In terms of responsiveness, we can confidently say that the Titan Plus Luxe’s inclusion of the TitanFlex Comfort and Energex Transition foams work together to provide a swift and dynamic experience, preventing any stuck feeling. Couples can also guarantee intimate moments free of disturbances, thanks to the mattress’s excellent noise absorbance performance.

For sex performance, we rate the Titan Plus Luxe mattress a 4.5/5.

Pressure Relief

To evaluate the mattress's ability to relieve pressure in targeted body areas, we used a pressure map that displayed the pressure distribution.

Based on the results obtained from the pressure map, we concluded the following:

• Back Sleepers: For back sleepers, the pressure map revealed good pressure relief overall. The mattress managed to provide enough support targeted towards the lumbar region, which helped maintain proper spinal alignment. The pressure levels may have been slightly more pronounced in comparison to side sleepers. Regardless, the Titan Plus Luxe still offered sufficient comfort and support for back sleepers.
• Side Sleepers: Side sleepers experienced the best results out of all sleepers during our pressure map test. We noticed little to no pressure displayed on the map, indicating excellent pressure relief, especially around the hips and shoulders. These areas tend to be more pressure-sensitive regions for side sleepers. However, this mattress excelled in terms of eliminating pressure points in those areas.
• Stomach Sleepers: The pressure map showed good pressure relief for stomach sleepers. As plush and soft as the mattress’s surface may be, it provided just the needed amount of firmness to effectively elevate the hips for a properly aligned spine.

For pressure relief, we give the Titan Plus Luxe a score of 4.3/5.
