Overall, Natural Bliss mattresses offer good motion isolation. Couples report feeling little motion transfer when their partner moves or gets out of bed, so their sleep isn’t disrupted.
The exceptions are the 6” mattresses in firm and extra firm, which have slightly more motion transfer than the softer, thicker mattresses.

Latex mattresses are more expesnive than other mattress types
Established in 2007, PlushBeds is a California-based mattress manufacturer committed to producing high-quality, organic mattresses. The Natural Bliss is one of the company’s latex mattress options, and it is constructed from organic, eco-friendly materials. It’s a hypoallergenic mattress option that contains zero animal products or harsh chemicals. Plushbeds also makes the Botanical Bliss, another latex mattress and the Luxury Bliss, a latex hybrid.
The PlushBeds Natural Bliss mattress is available in three thicknesses (6, 8, and 10 inches) and four firmness options (Soft, Medium, Med-Firm, and Extra-Firm). All are made with organic cotton covers, and organic Talalay and Dunlop latex; the 6-inch mattress is Dunlop latex only. One of the more unique aspects of the Natural Bliss is its adjustability. The cover zips off, allowing you to rearrange the latex layers to create your desired firmness.
The Natural Bliss mattress comes in four firmness levels (soft, medium, medium firm, and firm) that can be adjusted to your own preference. The right firmness depends on your body type and preferred sleep position.

Sleeping Style and Body Weight
PlushBeds Natural Bliss – 10″ – Soft
Sleeper Type
Under 130 lbs
130-230 lbs
Above 230 lbs
Side Sleepers
Back Sleepers
Stomach Sleepers
Side Sleepers
Side sleepers who weigh less than 230 pounds tend to find the Natural Bliss the most comfortable. Side sleepers weighing over 230 pounds are not suited to the soft mattress, as it does not provide enough support, despite providing good contouring.
Back Sleepers
The soft variant is best for back sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds. The mattress conforms to the body too close to provide the necessary support that heavier back sleepers need to keep their spines in alignment.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers of all weights gave the soft Natural Bliss low marks. Although the mattress provides plenty of cushioning and contouring for comfort, the soft mattress in any thickness didn’t provide enough support to prevent the midsection from sinking.
PlushBeds Natural Bliss – 10″ – Medium
Sleeper Type
Under 130 lbs
130-230 lbs
Above 230 lbs
Side Sleepers
Back Sleepers
Stomach Sleepers
Side Sleepers
Side sleepers under 130 pounds give the medium firmness Natural Bliss excellent ratings, thanks to its extra contouring that provides plenty of pressure relief. Individuals who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds were comfortable on every thickness, while those over 230 pounds distinctly preferred the thicker models. For heavier individuals, the extra thickness provides much-needed support to keep the hips and shoulders from sinking in too far.
Back Sleepers
Back sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds found the best combination of support and comfort from the medium version of the Natural Bliss. While the medium firmness offers some support for heavier sleepers, they’re better off going with a firmer model.
Stomach Sleepers
The medium firmness of the Natural Bliss is going to be most viable for stomach sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds. Heavier stomach sleepers will find it lacking in support, leading to excessive sink.

Side Sleepers
Although heavier side sleepers gave the 6-inch medium firm Natural Bliss poor ratings, the thicker mattresses get positive ratings. For those over 230 pounds, the 8-inch and 10-inch medium firm mattresses offer plenty of cushioning, contouring, and support for proper alignment. Side sleepers who weigh less than 230 pounds also preferred the thicker variants of the medium firm Natural Bliss.
Back Sleepers
Overall, back sleepers under 230 pounds give the medium firm mattress good ratings, with the thicker models providing plenty of support. Heavier back sleepers only found adequate support on the thicker, 10-inch model.
Stomach Sleepers
The medium firm Natural Bliss gets good ratings for stomach sleepers under 230 pounds. Stomach sleepers who weigh more than 230 pounds found most models, however, are not supportive enough for the midsection, causing lower back discomfort.
PlushBeds Natural Bliss – 10″ – Extra Firm

Above 230 lbs
Side Sleepers
Back Sleepers
Stomach Sleepers
Side Sleepers
Side sleepers who weigh less than 230 pounds gave the extra firm Natural Bliss mattress less than favorable ratings across the board. Lighter individuals do not sink down enough into the extra firm latex comfort layers, so the mattress offers little in the way of contouring. Heavier individuals, though, give the mattress more positive ratings, as the firm latex provides just enough comfort and support.
Back Sleepers
Some lighter sleepers don’t find the extra firm latex provides enough cushioning for comfort, but sleepers generally found the extra firm supportive and suitable for back sleeping, particularly sleepers over 230 pounds gave it excellent marks.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers of all sizes will find the extra firm option comfortable, as it provides plenty of support for the lower body.

Mattress Performance
In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.
With the exception of the 6” mattress, Natural Bliss mattresses offer good pressure relief. The thinnest mattresses provide less conforming than the other options, so the pressure relief is only average. For the most contouring and cradling to relieve pressure on the hips, shoulders, and other pressure points, choose a thicker Natural Bliss.
Overall, the Natural Bliss sleeps fairly cool for most people. Latex is naturally cooler than materials like memory foam, and its open-cell construction allows for more airflow so sleepers won’t overheat.
Like most latex mattresses, Natural Bliss offers moderate edge support. The edges of the softest mattresses have the least amount of support, and sinkage is to be expected. Even on the firmer options, edge support is only average, with those who like to sleep closer to the edge of the bed reporting some feelings of roll-off.
Plushbeds Natural Bliss Mattress Review Breakdown
PlushBeds Natural Bliss mattresses are organic latex mattresses available in three thicknesses and four adjustable firmness options: 6, 8, and 10 inches, and Soft, Medium, Med-Firm, and Extra-Firm. These firmness options translate to soft (3), medium (5), medium firm (6), and firm (8) feels on our 10-point firmness scale, respectively.
All of the mattresses have an organic cotton cover; the lightweight fabric is flexible and easily moves with the latex. Although other Plushbeds models include a layer of wool beneath the cover, the Natural Bliss does not contain any wool, rather a plant-based, proprietary fire barrier. No chemicals, including fire retardants, are used in the construction of the mattress.
Each variant of the Natural Bliss uses the same cover, but the specific configuration of support and comfort layers varies by thickness and firmness. All of the mattresses use natural Dunlop latex for the support layer; each model has a 6-inch base of Dunlop latex, which provides a sturdier, more supportive feeling.
As for comfort layers, they vary by thickness and firmness. The 6-inch mattress has the 6-inch base of Dunlop latex used by all models for comfort. This type of latex doesn’t offer as much contouring, but it ensures that the mattress is supportive.
The 8-inch mattress uses a 2-inch comfort layer made from Talalay latex, and the 10-inch mattress has two 2-inch layers of Talalay. Compared to Dunlop latex, Talalay is springier and more responsive, allowing the thicker mattresses to provide more pressure relief and conforming.

Mattress Prices and Sizing
PlushBeds Natural Bliss is an all latex mattress available in multiple firmness and thickness options.

The Natural Bliss model is available in all sizes from twin to California king, as well as twin XL. It’s also offered in split queen, king, and California king. Shoppers can choose from three thickness options (6, 8, and 10 inches) and four firmness options (Soft, Medium, Med-firm, and Extra-firm.) The Extra-firm model in each thickness comes at an additional cost.
Like all PlushBeds mattresses, Natural Bliss mattresses offer adjustable firmness: Simply unzip the mattress cover and rearrange the latex layers to your liking.
