Have you been looking for a bouncier alternative to memory foam? Whether you want an organic mattress or a bed that responds quickly to your movements, a latex mattress can offer a solution. The all-natural PlushBeds Botanical Bliss may be exactly where your internet searches lead you.
The eco-friendly latex has cooling, bounciness, pressure relief, and support down pat. This bed is offered in heights of 9, 10, and 12 inches. I reviewed the 9-inch model that stated that it was medium-firm. However, I found this bed to be slightly firmer than that.
In my in-depth PlushBeds Botanical Bliss mattress review, I’ll break down how this mattress performs for different body types and preferred sleep positions, and highlight features such as support, cooling, bounce, and more.

Who I Recommend the Botanical Bliss For:
- Sleepers who want more bounce – These quick-responding latex layers have a lot of bounce both at the surface and base level, which helps with repositioning, so you should not ever feel like you are stuck. However, unlike some innerspring beds, this bounce remains localized and should not disturb your partner.
- Eco-friendly shoppers – This product has received environmental certifications, such as OEKO-TEX® and GREENGUARD Gold, which means the materials have been rigorously tested for harmful levels of dangerous chemicals. I love that this mattress’ materials have a big stamp of approval for being organic, eco-friendly, and ethically made.
- Consumers who want a handmade product – Every Botanical Bliss is handmade in California.
Who I Don’t Recommend The Botanical Bliss:
- Lightweight and side sleepers – This mattress is likely going to be too firm for these sleepers.
- Budget shoppers – This mattress was built with a lot of premium natural materials, including certified organic latex, cotton, and wool. While I appreciate the premium quality of these products, their inclusion does make this bed less budget-friendly than other mattresses
First Impressions: Firmness & Feel
Firmness Scale: 7.5/10 (Medium-Firm model)
Please remember that firmness is a subjective characteristic and your shape will dictate how you experience a bed. A heavier person whose weight can more easily push through softer comfort and support layers may experience a bed as softer than a lightweight person. The way you are shaped could also play a role here. Consider your weight, shape, and size when evaluating firmness scores.
A big factor when considering purchasing a mattress is its firmness. Mattress firmness reflects how soft or firm the bed feels when you lie on top of it, and we rate mattress firmness on a 1-10 scale with 10 being the most firm.
The PlushBeds Botanical Bliss is offered in two firmness levels, a Medium and a Medium-Firm. I tested out the Botanical Bliss Medium-Firm, which I rated at a 7.5 out of 10.
This rating is more of a slightly firm feel rather than a true medium-firm, based on our scale, and I could see where lightweight people would probably just consider this a firm mattress.
How Does It Feel?
When you first lie down on this mattress, you’ll notice PlushBeds’s proprietary, soft-to-the-touch “circular knit fabric” cover that is supposed to assist with pressure relief. While I did feel a little extra cushion at the top, I think this was supplemented by the wool layer below. The eco-friendly latex conforms to your curves without hugging you too tightly and gives you plenty of bounce for repositioning.
What I Like About the Botanical Bliss
- Toxin-free materials – This mattress is made entirely of eco-friendly and toxin-free materials.
- Customizable features – This bed is offered in different firmness levels and heights so that you can customize it to your specific needs.
- Sleeps cool – Already naturally breathable, the latex material is further aerated with tiny holes for even more airflow, while the breathable cotton and wool wick away moisture.
My Botanical Bliss Complaints
- High price point – Although the premium, non-toxic materials used can help justify this cost, the Botanical Bliss is definitely expensive.
- Too firm for some sleepers – Some lightweight and side sleepers may find that the Medium-Firm model is too hard for them.
- May not be easy to move or set up – Although I am a fan of the handles, this bed is made with layers of dense latex materials that make it heavy. It may be difficult to move this mattress on your own.
Sleeping Positions for Different Body Types
The Botanical Bliss can support between 225-275 pounds per side depending on the thickness level chosen. That’s about 500 pounds for the entire mattress, so heavyweight couples may need a mattress with a higher weight capacity for better support.
| Weight | Side Sleepers | Back Sleepers | Stomach Sleepers |
| Lightweight Sleepers (-130 lbs) | ☆☆☆ | ★☆☆ | ★★★ |
| Average-Weight Sleepers (130-230 lbs) | ★☆☆ | ★★★ | ★★★ |
| Heavyweight Sleepers (+230 lbs) | ★☆☆ | ★★★ | ★★★ |
Side Sleepers
- Lightweight Sleepers – The firmness of this bed is likely not going to give it enough contouring for these sleepers. It will probably feel too hard for them.
- Average Weight Sleepers – Although some average-weight side sleepers may enjoy a firmer bed, I didn’t feel much pressure relief when I tested this out on my side.
- Heavyweight Sleepers – Heavyweight side sleepers who prefer a firmer bed should receive excellent spinal alignment when sleeping on this bed.
Back Sleepers
- Lightweight Sleepers – This mattress will likely feel very firm for lightweight back sleepers. However, if they like a hard sleep surface, they should receive superb spinal alignment with this bed.
- Average Weight Sleepers – I was blown away by the amount of lift that this mattress had when I tested it out on my back. My lower back was bolstered up and no sinkage occurred. Also, the bounciness of the latex provided light pressure relief around my midsection.
- Heavyweight Sleepers – I think that heavier back sleepers will get plenty of lumbar support, and the firmer feel should withstand extra weight without any problems.
Stomach Sleepers
- Lightweight Sleepers – Petite people should find themselves gently cradled with excellent hip support to keep them from sagging.
- Average Weight Sleepers – Average-weight stomach sleepers should receive light pressure relief under their hips and exemplary back support.
- Heavyweight Sleepers – Most heavyweight stomach sleepers should enjoy how evenly their weight is distributed.
Pressure Relief
3/5
Although the Botanical Bliss is made up of latex, a material known to relieve pressure, the firmness of this mattress counteracts that a little.
Rather than my shoulders and hips feeling cradled when I was sleeping on my side, I could feel pressure building up in these areas. The firmness of this bed may make it uncomfortable for many sleepers, especially those who prefer to lie on their sides.
Is the Botanical Bliss Mattress Good for Pain Relief?
A quality mattress that fits your body type and preferred sleep position could help you wake up without pain. The Botanical Bliss earned excellent marks for some positions and less than stellar ones for others. Therefore, whether or not the Botanical Bliss will be good for pain relief will depend on where your pain is and how this mattress accommodates your sleeping style and body type.
Back Pain
The Botanical Bliss excels at lumbar support. My spine felt lifted in every sleep position that I tried. I feel that for many sleepers, this amount of support can provide ample back pain relief.
Hip Pain
My hips were very supported by this mattress. This helped keep my spine aligned when I was sleeping on my back or stomach, which I think could offer pain relief for these preferred sleeping styles. However, side sleepers may find that this bed’s firmness doesn’t provide enough pressure relief to mitigate pain around their hips.
Shoulder Pain
Similar to hip pain, shoulder pain shouldn’t be much of a worry for back and stomach sleepers. However, those who sleep on their side may feel that too much pressure is building up because the mattress doesn’t offer much soft contouring.
Support
5/5
The Botanical Bliss had a best-in-class showing when it came to support. I loved how lifted my lumbar region felt in each sleep position that I tested. This kept my spine in a neutral alignment. Furthermore, the firmness of this bed prevented my hips from sagging down in it. Adequate support promotes a neutral spine and is especially important for those who sleep on their stomach or back.
Motion Transfer
3/5
When I used my seismograph app to monitor motion on this bed, it picked up a lot of big and small movements. When I looked over the data, I saw that when it came to isolating motion the Botanical Bliss wasn’t fantastic, but it wasn’t a basement-dweller either. Some couples may be disturbed if one sleeper does some solid twisting and turning throughout the night, but overall this bed is a fine fit for co-sleepers.
Temperature Regulation / Cooling
5/5
Latex is a naturally cooling material, so hot sleepers should be pretty pleased with the cooling abilities of the Botanical Bliss. The latex is also aerated and topped with breathable cotton and wool to wick away moisture and promote temperature-regulating airflow. I didn’t notice any heat buildup during testing.
Bounce
5/5
This mattress is springy with a capital S. The bounce that the latex provides for this bed was one of my favorite aspects. It took no time for the mattress to return to its normal shape after I applied weight to it. This makes this mattress great for combination sleepers and sexually active couples.
Edge Support
5/5
I was impressed with how I was held within the mattress thanks to the edge support. I didn’t feel as if I was going to fall off the bed when I was sitting or lying on the edge of the bed.
Performance for Couples
4/5
Couples who share a bed often pay attention to factors like bounce and motion isolation. The latex makeup of the Botanical Bliss bed provides excellent bounce. This means that couples can reposition themselves easily without feeling stuck. Sexually active couples should also appreciate this quality.
Finally, this mattress’ cooling and motion-isolating properties, as well as its edge support make this bed a good choice for most couples.

Adjustable Base Compatible
Handcrafted in the USA
Construction: What’s Inside the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss?
The cover is made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, which helps absorb moisture and foster airflow. Cotton is also breathable, and the organic certification provides peace of mind that it’s sustainably created without pesticides or herbicides.As mentioned, the Botanical Bliss comes in multiple firmness and height options. Let’s review the layers of the 9-inch Botanical Bliss.
- Beneath the cover lies a layer of GOTS-certified organic New Zealand wool. Wool offers exceptional temperature control and breathability, helping your body maintain a comfortable temperature all night long. This is followed by a cotton panel to help prevent the wool from shifting.
- To keep the wool layer evenly spread out, another organic cotton panel is placed beneath it.
- The first latex Talalay layer is 3 inches tall. This is a material that’s designed to gently contour the sleeper and foster pressure relief. The immediate response and bounce help make repositioning easy, and the plush quality caters well to sensitive areas like the hips and shoulders.
- The support core is made up of 6 inches of dense Dunlop latex. This firm foundation provides great support.
On the 12-inch model, you’ll get an additional 3 inches of latex foam in the middle of the mattress.
Also, I want to give a round of applause to PlushBeds for putting handles on this bed. Latex is heavy and having the extra grip to move it was a big help.
Unboxing & Off-Gassing
The Botanical Bliss mattress arrives rolled and compressed in a box. It is a fairly heavy mattress so you may want to solicit the help of a friend or family member to help you move it. Once it is out of the box and positioned, the mattress starts to take shape. Although you may notice a slight off-gassing smell, it is generally not very pungent with the Botanical Bliss, thanks in large part because this bed is made from latex.
Certifications
- Eco-Friendly Certifications – This mattress has multiple certifications, including OEKO-TEX®, which evaluates textiles for acceptable levels of hazardous chemicals and flame retardants at all processing levels. It also holds a GREENGUARD Gold certification, reflecting the world’s most rigorous emissions standards, eco-INSTITUT® certification, signifying low levels of hazardous chemicals, and other certifications from the Control Union and Forest Stewardship Council.
- Certified Natural Materials – The materials also hold multiple certifications including USDA-certified organic cotton, wool, and latex. The latex is certified by GOLS, and the cotton and wool are GOTS-certified.

My Verdict
The PlushBeds Botanical Bliss earned an overall score of 4.3 out of 5. The premium materials will come with a higher price tag, but I think it is worth it if this bed appeals to you and is in your budget.
This mattress should provide incredible lumbar support for many back and stomach sleepers. However, due to its firmness, many side sleepers may find it too hard to be comfortable.
I also think that combination sleepers, sexually active couples, and those with limited mobility should benefit from this mattress’ bouncy feel, which makes it easier to reposition. Hot sleepers should also like this bed’s cooling properties.
