All positive reviews on more than one forum led me to buy this thing. From the start I had shoulder, hip, and back pain from it but I have hip and back pain anyway so figured I just wasn't used to the bed. My husband had no problems. Time passed and things got worse. Past the 100-day return, and I didn't realize how bad this bed was for me until I went on a trip and slept on a different bed -- a standard bed with springs. Within 2 days my back pain was better. 4 days and it was almost gone. To me, my Plushbed feels like I'm sleeping on a brick.

I did quite a bit of research before making the plunge. I shopped several local mattress stores, but I seemed to know more about latex mattresses than they did. I knew I wanted a solid 100% natural latex mattress; no blends, smart foams or urethane. I found it increasingly difficult to find this locally as a reasonable price.

My online comparisons were a venture to say the least. One sounded better than the next...until I dug deeper & realized most of them could not back their statements of purity or organic or a believable return policy.

Plush Beds seemed to stand out from the crowd with their Botanical Bliss model. They offered a lot of relevant information along with proof of certifications. They are the manufacturers & they seemed to know their stuff which led us to believe they could make a decent mattress.

Our mattress arrived fully assembled. We were pre-warned by another company that all latex mattresses will have a slight odor which will dissipate, however we could not sense any odors at all from the Botanical Bliss model. The mattress is heavier than we expected, but it is absolutely beautiful.

We chose the medium firmness. What I love most about it is that I can not longer feel the pressure on my shoulders when I sleep (I sleep on my side). Our last mattress had me tossing & turning and my shoulders would hurt in the morning. My husband sleeps on his back and he is very satisfied with the support. While we are happy, I like the fact that we had 100 days to change the firmness if we needed to. Overall I give this mattress 5 stars and am happy I can now sleep peacefully again.
