About PlushBeds
In 2008, PlushBeds arose from founder Michael Hughes’ passion for creating a more comfortable and healthy sleep experience after the pain of learning his father’s death was likely caused partially by exposure to numerous common household chemicals. Hughes was especially disturbed by the chemical flame retardants mattresses are often treated with that are readily absorbed by our bodies. Because restrictions on these chemicals in the US are much more permissive than in Europe, Hughes was determined to create safe, comfortable, and plush beds. Today, PlushBeds has expanded beyond mattresses to also include a high-end and healthier assortment of bedding, pillows, mattress toppers, and more. In the words of Hughes himself, “In the end, it’s not our advocacy, or even our materials that define us. It’s our drive to make your bedroom the safest, most comfortable place to recuperate from the daily challenges life provides.”

Reviews & Testing From Our Team
Luxury Bliss® Mattress
I’ve been sleeping on the Luxury Bliss Hybrid mattress for nearly two years now, and it’s still just as comfortable and supportive as when I first got it. I prefer a medium-firm feel, and this mattress has consistently hit that sweet spot—plush enough to feel cozy, but firm enough to keep my spine and hips aligned. I often have hip pain from soft mattresses but I’ve never woken up with it since sleeping on this one. Even after daily use—including lots of sitting in my bed working since I live in a tiny house with no office space—there’s been no sagging, soft spots, or noticeable loss of firmness. We rotate it head-to-foot every six months or so, as this is always a good practice to maintain mattress structure and ensure the same spots are not continually getting wear. Overall, it’s held up impressively well and continues to give me a great night’s sleep.

Goose Down Pillow
This Goose Down Pillow, in the “firm” density option, is hands down the best pillow I’ve ever used—especially as a side sleeper prone to neck pain. It strikes that rare balance between plush comfort and reliable support. It’s soft and cloud-like where you want it to be, but firm enough to keep your neck and spine properly aligned throughout the night. Before this pillow, I regularly woke up with a sore neck and the occasional pinched occipital nerve that would lead to me struggling with a tension headache for the rest of the day—now, that’s no longer an issue. And what’s even more impressive: after nearly two years of nightly use, it’s still holding its loft perfectly. No flattening, no lumpiness, no loss in comfort or support. It feels just as good now as it did the first week I used it.
