What is a Plush Mattress?
A plush mattress is one that has a soft, almost cloud-like surface that cradles your body as you sleep. Unlike a medium or firm mattress, this is achieved by adding additional layers of soft and pressure relieving materials like latex or memory foam on top of the main support unit.
Contrary to belief, a plush mattress doesn’t mean unsupportive; quite the opposite, in fact. At Rested Pillow, our handcrafted mattresses are ideal for side sleepers who often struggle to find a mattress that provides the pressure relief they need.
Benefits of a Plush Mattress
Many people choose a plush mattress because it offers the perfect balance between luxurious comfort and much-needed pressure relief. Here are just a few reasons why plush mattresses are growing in popularity:
Pressure relief
Plush mattresses provide excellent pressure relief, especially on shoulders, hips, and the lower back, making them perfect for side sleepers and helping you have a restful sleep throughout the night.
Luxurious comfort
Often said to feel like the type of mattress you’d find in a hotel, plush mattresses are known for providing a sense of comfort and luxury thanks to the soft comfort layers that create a cozy, cradling sensation.
Our Best Selling Plush Mattresses
At Rested Pillow, all of our plush mattresses are handmade in Michigan using the best quality materials available, but we do have a few that seem to be strong favorites among our customers.
Here are some of our best selling plush mattresses:
Sunny Side Up
The Sunny Side Up mattress is our most versatile mattress, offering 6 comfort layer options to choose from, including the Plush Serene® comfort layer for those looking for a truly plush mattress. We often say this may be the last mattress you ever need to buy thanks to the customizable top layer that not only allows you to choose the comfort level you prefer, but helps extend the life of your mattress.
Sleeping Bear
As our most reviewed mattress, the Sleeping Bear has been a customer favorite for 5 years and counting. Customers who choose the Sleeping Bear in a plush feel always say to us that they love the amazing softness it provides. This is due to the Plush Serene® Foam comfort layer we use, giving it that extra luxurious sensation.
Bedder Days
Available in sizes from twin through to California king, the Bedder Days mattress is one of our most popular mattresses in the queen size, and it's easy to see why.
Not only does this provide a great night's sleep and a feeling of sheer comfort when you lie on it thanks to the cooling gel foam pillowtop, but the supportive pocket spring keeps your spine aligned as you sleep, meaning you wake up rested and refreshed.
Nightcap
The Nightcap mattress in a plush feel is made by adding Plush Serene® Foam comfort layers to the top of a firmer hybrid unit, giving it a soft, yet firm feel.This was also the first of our zipper mattresses, allowing you to completely customize your comfort by unzipping and changing the top comfort layer to suit your needs.
Sunny Side
The Sunny Side is one of our consistent best sellers and is rated as the most comfortable mattress. Available in size from twin to California king, this mattress is made using the finest quality materials and time-honored techniques such as hand-tufting to provide the ultimate in comfort, support and durability.
Plus Mattress Sizes and Finding The Right One For You
Choosing the right level of firmness for your mattress is just as important for sleep quality as the type of mattress you choose. At Rested Pillow, we make our mattresses in a range of sizes so that you can find the right one to suit your and your family’s needs.
Here are the size options you can choose from:
- Twin Mattresses - Perfect for compact spaces, twin mattresses are often chosen for a child’s bedroom.
- Twin XL Mattresses - Ideal for growing children and teens, twin xl mattresses are slightly larger than a twin by a few inches, but still fit comfortably in smaller spaces.
- Full Mattresses - Offering more space than smaller sizes, a full mattress still fits in snug spaces, making it popular with single sleepers and teens.
- Queen Mattresses - Generally the mattress size chosen by couples or single sleepers, queen size mattresses provide enough space to share without overcrowding a room.
- King Mattresses - King size mattresses are always a popular choice with anyone who has a much bigger bedroom and who prefers the luxury of having lots of space.
- California King Mattresses -Although many people think the California king is a bigger mattress overall, it simply takes the width from a king size and adds it to the length. It can also be more challenging to find things like sheets and bedframes for this mattress due to it being considered a speciality size.

What to Consider When Buying a Plush Mattress
If you’re thinking about buying a plush mattress, it’s important to consider these things to help you decide whether this mattress is right for you or not:
Your sleeping preferences
You should only buy a plush mattress if you truly prefer the extra soft feeling it offers. This level of softness may not be suitable or comfortable for everyone.
Your sleeping position
Plush mattresses do provide a good deal of pressure relief for side sleepers, but if you sleep on your back, stomach, or are a combination sleeper, then you may find a medium or firm mattress to be more suitable.
Any health needs
Although a plush mattress does offer support and can help keep your spine aligned correctly when sleeping on your side, if you have back or hip problems, then it may be too soft to provide the full level of support you need.
Who’s going to be using the mattress
While a plush mattress may feel great to you, it could feel too soft to your partner, so it’s important to consider their needs and preferences before buying one.
Caring For Your Plush Mattress
Here are some of our top tips for caring for your plush mattress to ensure it lasts as long as possible and provides you with many nights of great sleep:
- Use a waterproof mattress protector - Using a high quality, waterproof protector on top of your mattress is a great way to keep it free from things like dirt, dust and any spills or accidents.
- Clean regularly - Keep your mattress clean and fresh by using warm water along with a mild detergent to spot treat any accidents or spills.
- Rotate or flip if required - If you have a flippable mattress, then it’s crucial that you flip it as required. Equally, if your mattress is one that doesn’t require flipping, then regularly rotating it will help maintain its shape.
