Amerisleep Organica Plush Mattress Review

Our Review Process: Each mattress we review undergoes a rigorous evaluation process. We assess comfort, support, cooling, and durability through both subjective experiences and objective tests.

Criteria include pressure relief, spine alignment, mattress responsiveness, motion transfer, edge support, and temperature regulation. This comprehensive approach ensures our reviews are thorough and unbiased.

I. Mattress Layers, Materials and Construction

One thing that really stood out to me about the Organica Plush was the cooling properties. Sometimes, a soft mattress can start to feel like a too-sweaty hug, as the enveloping feel can surround not just your curves but entrap your body heat. Despite all the plush comfort, I never felt overheated.

As I tested the mattress over several nights, I noticed more and more how the different layers worked together. The latex provided that responsive bounce that kept me from feeling stuck, while the plush top layer cradled my body perfectly. Being a side sleeper myself, I found it particularly comfortable in that position.

The breathable latex, combined with the temperature-regulating properties of the wool and the breathable cotton cover, created a sleep environment that stayed comfortable all night long.

Coil Support

Starting from the bottom, there’s a pocketed coil system that provides excellent support. What really caught my attention was the double density coils around the edges. As someone who often sits on the edge of the bed to put on my socks in the morning, I appreciated this extra thought into edge support.

Latex Layers

Moving up, we have the natural Talalay latex layers. There are two, a firmer and thinner one that serves as the bed’s transition, and a softer one that acts as the bed’s primary comfort core.

Now, I’ve tested quite a few mattresses in my time as a sleep science coach, and I have to say, the breathability of this latex is impressive. It’s supposedly up to seven times more breathable than other foams, and I could feel the difference. No more waking up in a sweat!

Wool Fire Barrier

The organic wool layer was next, and it’s not just there for comfort. It acts as a natural fire barrier, which, as a mom, gives me peace of mind. It’s also GOTS certified, so I know it meets strict organic standards. Overall, it establishes an excellent fiberglass-free mattress.

Box Top

Here’s where it gets really luxurious—the attached 3-inch box top, bringing the latex foam top to 6 total inches.

This additional layer of latex is what gives the Organica Plush its cloud-like feel. When I first lay down on it, I couldn’t help but let out a contented sigh. It’s just that comfortable.

Mattress Cover

Topping it all off is the organic cotton cover. I’ve felt a lot of mattress covers in my day, but this one… wow. It’s incredibly soft to the touch, and I found myself running my hand over it more times than I’d like to admit.

II. Sleeping Positions

One of the most crucial aspects of a mattress is how it performs across different sleeping positions. We all have our preferred way of catching Z’s, and a truly great mattress should be versatile enough to accommodate various sleep styles.

As always, individual comfort preferences will play a role, but in my professional opinion, the Organica Plush offers a luxurious and supportive sleep experience for a wide range of sleepers.

While it’s most ideal for side and combination sleepers, it can work for back sleepers who prefer a softer feel. Strict stomach sleepers, though, might want to consider a firmer option.

Side Sleeping

The plush comfort layers, particularly the additional 3-inch latex topper, provide excellent pressure relief for the shoulders and hips; the two areas side sleepers need it most. When I lay on my side, I felt the mattress gently cradling these pressure points without allowing me to sink too deeply.

The natural Talalay latex conformed to my body’s curves while still offering enough pushback to keep my spine aligned. This balance of softness and support is crucial in mattresses for side sleepers to avoid waking up with aches and pains.

I also appreciated how the mattress allowed my shoulder to sink in just enough to keep my neck aligned with my spine. This is a common issue for side sleepers on firmer mattresses, but the Organica Plush handled it beautifully.

Back Sleeping

While it’s designed to be on the softer side, the Organica Plush still provides adequate support for back sleepers, especially those who prefer a plusher feel.

When lying on my back, I noticed how the latex comfort layers contoured to the natural curve of my spine. The mattress did a great job of filling in the lumbar region, providing crucial lower back support.

The pocketed coil base ensured that my hips didn’t sink too far, which is essential for maintaining proper spinal alignment in this position. However, some back sleepers who prefer a firmer surface might find it a touch too soft.

I particularly appreciated how the mattress distributed my weight evenly, preventing any pressure buildup. This even distribution is the secret to back sleeper mattresses that offer restful, pain-free sleep.

Stomach Sleeping

Stomach sleeping is typically the most challenging position for a soft mattress, but the Organica Plush still performed decently for this sleep style.

When I lay on my stomach, I did notice more sinkage around my hips compared to firmer mattresses. This could potentially lead to some lower back strain for strict stomach sleepers, especially those carrying more weight in their midsection.

However, the responsive nature of the latex and the support from the coil system did help to mitigate this sinkage to some degree. I didn’t feel like I was “bottoming out” or that my spine was dramatically misaligned.

For occasional stomach sleeping or for those who prefer a softer feel, the Organica Plush could still work. But for primary stomach sleepers, especially those on the heavier side, a firmer option might be more suitable as a mattress for stomach sleeping.

Combination Sleeping

This mattress really shines for those who switch positions throughout the night. The responsive nature of the Talalay latex made it easy for me to change positions without feeling stuck or having to exert much effort.

I found that the mattress adapted quickly as I moved from my side to my back to my stomach. The plush comfort layers provided pressure relief in each position, while the supportive coil base ensured I never felt like I was sinking too deeply into the mattress.

All of this is crucial in mattresses for combination sleepers, who may unconsciously change positions multiple times during the night.

The edge support was also impressive, allowing me to comfortably use the entire surface of the mattress. This is particularly beneficial for combination sleepers who tend to move around a lot and may find themselves near the edge of the bed.

III. Response Time

A responsive mattress makes it easier to change positions during the night. You won’t feel “stuck” or have to struggle to roll over. Quick responsiveness means the mattress adapts swiftly to your body’s contours, providing consistent mattress pressure relief as you move.

Furthermore, responsive materials tend to allow better airflow, which can help keep you cool throughout the night. Responsiveness is also a key comfort feature for couples and combination sleepers.

When it comes to the Organica Plush mattress, I’m impressed with its responsiveness, giving it a solid 9 out of 10 in this category.

To test the mattress’s responsiveness, I first used a method that simulates real-world use. I dropped a 10-pound weight onto different areas of the mattress surface and observed how quickly it bounced back.

The Organica Plush impressed me with its rapid rebound, almost instantly returning to its original shape after the weight was removed.

But I didn’t stop there. To get a real feel for the mattress’s responsiveness, I put it through a series of personal tests.

I moved around on the mattress, changing positions from my back to my side, then to my stomach, and back again. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to move. The mattress adapted quickly to each new position without any of that “stuck” feeling you sometimes get with memory foam.

I also did what I call the “midnight snack test.” I got up from the mattress and then flopped back down, mimicking those late-night trips to the kitchen. The Organica Plush handled this admirably, quickly reshaping itself to support my body in its new position.

This high level of responsiveness is primarily due to the natural Talalay latex layer and the additional 3-inch latex topper in the Plush model. Latex is known for its springy nature, and this mattress showcases that quality beautifully.

The 9/10 score for the Organica Plush indicates that it performs exceptionally well in this aspect. While it’s not quite as springy as an innerspring mattress (which would be a 10/10), it offers an excellent balance of responsiveness and tension relief that should suit most sleepers seeking a mattress for pressure points, especially those who appreciate a bit of bounce.

IV. Motion Isolation

For couples sharing a bed, good motion isolation means one partner’s movements are less likely to disturb the other’s sleep. This is especially important if one partner is a light sleeper or if you have different sleep schedules.

When you’re not constantly awakened by your partner’s movements, you’re more likely to achieve deeper, more restorative sleep cycles. If you or your partner tend to toss and turn during the night, good motion isolation can help ensure that these movements don’t impact the entire bed.

Knowing that your movements won’t disturb your partner can also help reduce anxiety about disrupting their sleep, leading to more relaxed and comfortable sleep for both parties.

In my testing, I found the Organica Plush to be excellent at isolating motion, earning it a impressive 9 out of 10 in this category.

To evaluate motion isolation, I conducted several personal tests that simulate real-world scenarios.

For my first test, I dropped my weighted ball again several times, observing how it did or did not dislodge another weight I had set upon the mattress. The results confirmed my subjective experience testing its responsiveness—the Organica Plush absorbed most of the motion, with only minimal transfer to other areas of the mattress.

Next, I enlisted the help of a partner to create a more realistic sleep scenario. While I lay on one side of the mattress trying to “sleep,” my partner entered and exited the bed, changed sleeping positions, and even bounced slightly—all common nighttime movements. Then I took the role of “person moving about at night” while my partner feigned sleep.

As we performed these tests together, I was pleasantly surprised by how little of these movements I felt on my side of the bed. The additional 3-inch box top likely enhances the effect of the motion-dampening coils and foam layers even further.

So yes, while not absolutely perfect (which would be nearly impossible for any mattress, especially one with the responsiveness of latex), the 9/10 score for the Organica Plush indicates that it performs exceptionally well in this aspect. It offers superior motion isolation that should satisfy even light sleepers or couples with very different sleep habits.

V. Edge Support

Strong edge support means you can comfortably use the entire mattress surface, effectively increasing your sleeping area. For couples sharing a bed, robust edge support allows both partners to spread out without feeling like they’re about to fall off.

But the benefits aren’t just limited to sleep but daytime use, too! Good edge support makes it easier to sit on the edge of the bed when getting in or out, which is particularly beneficial for those with mobility issues. Strong edges make the bed more versatile for activities like sitting to read or watch TV.

And overall, better edge support often translates to better durability, as it prevents excessive sagging around the perimeter over time.

I’m thrilled to report that the Organica Plush mattress excelled in this category, earning a perfect 10 out of 10.

To evaluate edge support on the Organica Plush, I conducted a series of tests that mimic real-life scenarios. First, I sat on the edge of the mattress in various positions—as if I were putting on shoes, reading a book, or simply resting.

Then, I lay down near the edge to simulate sleeping close to the perimeter. Finally, I applied pressure to the edges to check for any significant compression or instability.

The Organica Plush impressed me at every turn. Even when sitting right on the edge, I felt stable and supported, with minimal sinkage. When lying near the edge, I never felt like I was about to roll off—a testament to the mattress’s solid perimeter support.

This exceptional performance is likely due to the reinforced coils around the edges of the mattress, a thoughtful design feature that truly pays off.

The perfect 10/10 score rivals or surpasses many traditional innerspring mattresses. This feature, combined with the plush comfort of the latex layers, creates a sleep surface that’s both luxuriously comfortable and practically functional.

Whether you’re a solo sleeper who likes to spread out, part of a couple who needs every inch of the mattress, or someone who appreciates a sturdy seat on the edge of the bed, the Organica Plush’s outstanding edge support is sure to enhance your overall sleep experience.

VI. Cooling and Breathability

If you’re like me and tend to sleep hot, a cooling mattress can be a game-changer for your overall comfort. When you’re not constantly waking up feeling hot and bothered, you’re more likely to achieve deeper, more restorative sleep cycles.

A mattress that regulates temperature well can keep you comfortable in both summer and winter. It can help you fall asleep more quickly, as your body naturally cools down as part of the sleep process.

As someone who tends to sleep hot and has struggled with sleep issues from it, I’m always hyper-aware of how a mattress performs in terms of temperature regulation. The Organica Plush impressed me from the first night. I noticed that I didn’t wake up in the middle of the night feeling sweaty or uncomfortable, which is often an issue for me with other mattresses.

To really put it to the test, I slept on the Organica Plush during a particularly warm spell. Even with the thermostat set a bit higher than usual, I found that the mattress maintained a comfortable temperature throughout the night. I didn’t experience any of that unpleasant “stuck” feeling that can happen with less breathable mattresses.

The excellent cooling performance of the Organica Plush can be attributed to its thoughtful construction. The organic cotton cover feels cool to the touch and allows for great airflow. The natural Talalay latex layers are inherently more breathable than many synthetic foams, and the pocketed coil base promotes additional air circulation.

The 9/10 score for the Organica Plush indicates that it performs exceptionally well in this aspect. While it’s not quite perfect (I reserve 10/10 for advanced cooling technologies), it offers superior temperature regulation that should satisfy even the hottest of sleepers.

And if you do require the cooling ability that only a perfect 10 mattress can provide, no worries! I have vetted and can vouch for these mattresses:

• Nolah Evolution 15
• GhostBed Flex
• Amerisleep AS3
• Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Hybrid

Still, drawing upon my experience, the Organica Plush strikes an impressive balance between plush comfort and cool sleeping. I would readily recommend it to any friends who are struggling with overheating at night.

If you’re looking for a mattress that will keep you cool and comfortable all night long, the Organica Plush is definitely worth considering.

VII. Durability and Longevity

A durable mattress maintains its supportive properties over time. This means you’re less likely to experience the gradual decline in sleep quality that often comes with an aging mattress. Night after night, year after year, you can count on the same level of comfort and support.

Your spine alignment and overall body support shouldn’t change as your mattress ages. A mattress that won’t sag ensures that your body gets the consistent support it needs, potentially reducing the risk of developing or exacerbating back pain and other musculoskeletal issues over time.

Based on my analysis of its construction and materials, I estimate that the Amerisleep Organica Plush could last anywhere from 8 to 12 years with proper care. This puts it at the higher end of the average mattress lifespan, which typically ranges from 7 to 10 years.

I’m not just pulling this estimate out of a hat, either. My predicted of its lifespan is based on several factors:

• Material Analysis: I’ve studied the properties of each component in the mattress, considering their known durability characteristics.
• Industry Experience: Having reviewed countless types of mattresses, I’ve seen how different materials and constructions hold up over time.
• Consumer Reports: I’ve analyzed feedback from long-term users of similar latex hybrid mattresses.
• Manufacturer Confidence: Amerisleep’s 20-year warranty suggests they have high confidence in the mattress’s longevity.

But while I stand by my prediction of how long the mattress lasts, it’s crucial to acknowledge its limitations:

• New Product: The Organica Plush is relatively new to the market, so long-term data is limited.
• Individual Variations: Everyone’s experience with a mattress can be different due to body type, sleep habits, and personal preferences.
• Environmental Factors: Humidity, temperature, and exposure to direct sunlight can affect a mattress’s lifespan.
• Unpredictable Factors: Manufacturing variations or unforeseen issues could affect longevity.
• Care and Maintenance: Regular rotation and use of a mattress protector can extend the mattress’s life. Conversely, improper use will shorten the lifespan.

Some might also worry that a plush mattress would wear out faster than a firmer model. This is one of the typical drawbacks of choosing an ultra-plush mattress, after all.

However, the Organica Plush has a secret weapon: latex foam. Unlike memory foam or polyfoam, latex is incredibly resilient. It’s more likely to maintain its shape and supportive properties over time, even in a softer configuration.

While a durable mattress like the Organica Plush might have a higher upfront cost, it often proves more economical in the long run. If you’re replacing a less durable mattress every 5-7 years instead of every 10-12 years, those costs add up quickly.

VIII. Potential Drawbacks

While the Amerisleep Organica Plush has impressed me in many ways, it’s important to provide a balanced perspective. Every mattress, no matter how well-designed, has potential drawbacks that may affect certain users.

These aren’t necessarily flaws in the mattress design, but rather characteristics that could be disadvantages depending on your personal preferences, sleeping habits, or specific needs.

Remember, what’s a drawback for one person might be a benefit for another. The key is to consider these points in the context of your own sleep requirements and lifestyle.

Price Point

The Organica Plush is a luxury mattress, and its price reflects that. While I believe it offers good value for its quality and durability, the higher cost might be a barrier for some buyers.

If you’re shopping on a tight budget or looking for a short-term sleep solution, you may need to look at more affordable options. However, if you view your mattress as a long-term investment in your sleep health, the price may be justified.

Adjustment Period

The unique feel of latex can take some getting used to, especially if you’re coming from a traditional innerspring or memory foam mattress. Some users might need a few weeks to fully adjust to the responsive nature of the Organica Plush. This could lead to premature dissatisfaction if not given enough time.

Amerisleep anticipates this adjustment period and asks that new owners give themselves 30 days to adjust before requesting a return. This period allows your body to acclimate to the new sleep surface and for you to fully experience the benefits of the mattress.

Motion Transfer

While the Organica Plush performs well in motion isolation for a latex hybrid, it might not be as effective as some memory foam mattresses. Light sleepers who share a bed with a restless partner might still experience some disturbance.

Surface movements could be more noticeable in mattresses for couples with significantly different schedules or sleep habits. If you or your partner are extremely sensitive to movement, you might want to consider mattresses specifically designed for maximum motion isolation.

Height and Thickness

The 16-inch thickness of the Amerisleep Organica Plush, while luxurious, can present some challenges. For example, standard fitted sheets may not accommodate the extra depth.

You might need to purchase deep-pocket sheets to accommodate the mattress thickness, which can be more expensive and less readily available.

The added height also might not work well with some existing bed frames or headboards, potentially affecting the overall aesthetic of your bedroom setup. And for shorter individuals or those with mobility issues, the extra height can make it more difficult to get in and out of bed comfortably.

Weight and Maneuverability

Latex mattresses are typically heavier than other types, and the Organica Plush is no exception, especially as it’s on the thicker side. This bulkiness can make it challenging to move or rotate the mattress even with the attached handles, which might be an issue for some users.

The hybrid mattress might require two or more people for setup or rearranging, particularly if you choose a larger size. And this could be a recurring issue for those who frequently redecorate or move

Sleeping “On” the Mattress

The responsive nature of latex means you sleep more “on” the mattress rather than sinking “into” it. While many people prefer this feeling, those who enjoy the deep, hugging sensation of memory foam might find the Organica Plush lacking in this regard. They might find it too bouncy, instead.

It might take some getting used to if you’re coming from a different mattress type.

Potential for Latex Allergies

Although rare, some people are allergic to latex. While the latex in this mattress is encased and unlikely to cause reactions, it’s something to be aware of if you have sensitive allergies.

You might prefer the peace of mind that comes from choosing another type of material.

IX. Trial Period, Warranty, Pricing, and Sizes

Amerisleep, known for its commitment to customer satisfaction, offers a comprehensive package that goes beyond just selling you a mattress.

From their risk-free trial period to their long-term warranty protection, and from their competitive pricing to their range of size options, Amerisleep aims to provide a shopping experience that’s as comfortable as their mattresses.

Let’s break down each of these elements in detail, giving you all the information you need to make an informed decision about the Amerisleep Organica Plush.

Whether you’re concerned about the adjustment period, long-term durability, budget considerations, or finding the perfect fit for your bedroom, we’ve got you covered.

Trial

With Amerisleep’s mattress sleep trial, you get 100 nights to try out your new mattress in the comfort of your own home. It’s a risk-free way to discover if this mattress is the right fit for your sleep needs, giving you peace of mind with your purchase.

While many people love their mattress right away, it can take as long as a month for your body to fully adjust to a new sleep surface. Don’t worry if you experience minor aches at first—this is normal and often temporary.

Because of this, Amerisleep asks that you try the mattress for at least 30 nights before initiating a return. This ensures you’ve given your body enough time to adapt to the new mattress.

If you’re not satisfied after the 30-night minimum, you can contact Amerisleep to start the hassle-free return process anytime:

• You’ll work with a real person from their Arizona-based support team
• Amerisleep will coordinate free pickup of the returned mattress
• They promise quick refund processing

So if you don’t love your mattress, you get your money back. It’s that simple.

The trial period begins when your mattress in a box is delivered, not when you order it. If you’ve also ordered an adjustable bed, the trial starts when both items arrive.

Warranty

When you invest in an Amerisleep Organica Plush, you’re also getting a solid warranty to protect your purchase. The warranty lasts for 20 years, which is quite generous compared to many other mattress warranties.

For the first 10 years, Amerisleep covers all costs for repair or replacement. For the remaining 10 years, you pay 50% of the original price for a replacement, plus associated costs such as shipping and handling.

Important to Remember:

• Keep your original receipt. You’ll need it for any warranty claims.
• Use a proper foundation. An inappropriate base can void your warranty.
• Consider using a mattress protector. Stains can void the warranty.
• This warranty is for the original purchaser only. It doesn’t transfer if you give away or sell the mattress.

Prices and Sizes

The Organica Plush comes in all standard mattress sizes, which is par for the course in the luxury mattress market.

The inclusion of a split king option is a nice touch for couples with different firmness preferences or those using adjustable bases.

I’ve also noticed that the price jumps between sizes are relatively modest, as you can see in the table below.

In my experience, the bed offers excellent value for money. I’ve definitely encountered slimmer mattresses that cost more without offering the features and natural materials that the Organica Plush does.

While it’s not the cheapest option, you’re getting a strudy, eco-friendly latex mattress that should last many years. When you factor in its expected lifespan, the per-year cost often works out lower than less expensive, less durable options.

Plus, you can keep an eye out for discounts when the year’s big mattress sales hit!

X. Customer Reviews

Looking at customer reviews for the original Organica model, I’ve found they align with my own positive experience.

One reviewer, Diymom from Verde Valley, AZ, shared, “It’s very cushy, has lots of give and now I know what deep sleep is. The first few nights I never even moved and I had no aches and pains.” This suggests to me that the Plush model, with its extra softness, might provide even more comfort for those seeking a softer sleep surface.

Another satisfied customer, SR from San Diego, CA, described the original Organica as “The PERFECT mattress!!” praising its blend of softness and support. They noted, “So soft but also sturdy and shape-holding enough to offer support and movement without waking your partner.” I believe the Plush model is likely to enhance these qualities further.

While these reviews are for the original model, they bode well for the Plush version. The addition of the 3-inch latex topper in the Plush model is likely to address comments from customers like gal809 from Los Angeles, CA, who found the original “softer than anticipated” but still wished for a slightly softer feel.

MimiMattress58 from Germantown, Tennessee also provided an interesting perspective, saying, “I purchased this mattress for my guest bedroom and tried it out and ended up switching it out to my primary bed! … It is firm enough, soft enough, and sleeps cool.” I believe the Plush version might offer an even more luxurious feel for those who found the original just right.

Based on my experience with both models and these customer reviews, I’m excited to see how the Plush version performs for sleepers seeking that extra touch of softness.

As more specific reviews become available, I expect to see continued praise for its comfort, support, and eco-friendly materials, with an added emphasis on its enhanced plushness and pressure relief.

XI. Environmental Impact

Over the past few years, I’ve become increasingly aware of the environmental impact of the bedding industry. Largely, I’ve become increasingly disillusioned with how much of it relies on petroleum-based foams and synthetic materials that contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions.

The Amerisleep Organica stands out as a shining example of how luxury sleep and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand. Its renewable resources can be harvested without depleting the earth’s finite resources, ensuring we’re not compromising future generations’ needs for our current comfort.

Certifications That Matter

The Organica boasts an impressive array of certifications that validate its eco-friendly claims:

• GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard): This certification ensures that the entire textile production process meets strict environmental and social criteria.
• Rainforest Alliance: This certification for the latex ensures that it’s produced using methods that protect ecosystems, wildlife, and workers.
• OEKO-TEX Standard 100: This certifies that every component of the mattress has been tested for harmful substances, ensuring it’s safe for both consumers and the environment.
• eco-INSTITUT: This certification further validates the low emissions and absence of harmful chemicals in the mattress.

These certifications provide third-party verification of Amerisleep’s environmental claims, offering transparency in an industry often clouded by greenwashing.

Materials and Manufacturing

The Organica’s construction is a testament to Amerisleep’s commitment to sustainability:

1. Organic Cotton Cover: The GOTS-certified organic cotton used in the cover is grown without harmful pesticides or chemical fertilizers. This not only reduces the environmental impact of cotton production but also supports healthier soil and water systems.
2. Natural Talalay Latex: The latex in the Organica is sustainably sourced from rubber trees. Unlike synthetic foams, natural latex is biodegradable and renewable. The Talalay process used to create this latex is also more energy-efficient than other latex production methods.
3. Organic Wool: The wool layer serves as a natural fire barrier, eliminating the need for chemical flame retardants that can be harmful to both humans and the environment. Wool is also a renewable resource that can be harvested without harming the animals.

Many components of eco-friendly mattresses are biodegradable or recyclable. This means that at the end of their (often longer) lifespan, they won’t sit in landfills for centuries like traditional mattresses.

Plus, Amerisleep’s commitment to the environment extends beyond materials. Their manufacturing process produces zero air emissions, significantly reducing the company’s carbon footprint.

Not to mention their efficient packaging. By compressing the Organica into a compact box, Amerisleep can fit three times as many mattresses in a delivery truck compared to traditional methods. This reduces fuel consumption and carbon emissions from transportation by up to 80%.

Greater Durability for Less Waste

In my experience, a well-made latex hybrid like this can easily last 10-15 years, sometimes even longer with proper care. The longevity of the Organica is a huge point in favor of its eco-friendly credentials.

Think about it: If you’re replacing your mattress every 5-7 years (which is common with lower-quality beds), you’re essentially doubling your environmental impact compared to using a single, durable mattress for 10-15 years.

That’s twice the materials, twice the manufacturing energy, twice the shipping fuel, and twice the old mattresses potentially ending up in landfills.

By lasting longer, the Organica reduces the need for new raw materials over time. Yes, it uses more natural latex up front compared to some other mattresses, but when you consider that you might buy two or three less durable mattresses in the same timeframe, the Organica often comes out ahead in terms of overall resource use.

Every stage of a mattress’s life cycle – from raw material extraction to manufacturing, shipping, and eventual disposal – contributes to its carbon footprint. A more durable mattress spreads this environmental cost over a longer period, effectively lowering its per-year impact.

360° Green Commitment

Amerisleep’s environmental responsibility doesn’t stop at the Organica. Their company-wide 360° Green Commitment includes:

• Developing innovative and sustainable plant-based formulas for their other mattress lines.
• Applying efficient direct-to-consumer delivery methods to reduce their carbon footprint.
• Continually improving their manufacturing processes to minimize environmental impact.

Industry Impact

By producing a high-quality mattress like the Organica and striving to make their memory foam mattresses eco-friendly, Amerisleep is helping to shift industry standards. They’re proving that it’s possible to create a luxurious, comfortable mattress without compromising on environmental responsibility.

In my experience, the Amerisleep Organica represents one of the most environmentally conscious options in the mattress market today. While no product is without some environmental impact, the Organica demonstrates a significant step towards more sustainable sleep solutions.

For consumers looking to minimize their environmental footprint without sacrificing comfort, the Organica is an excellent choice.

XII. Maintenance and Care

I can’t stress enough how proper care and maintenance can extend the life of your mattress. The Amerisleep Organica Plush is a significant investment in your sleep health, and with the right care, it can provide you with comfortable, restful nights for years to come.

Use a Mattress Protector

This is my number one recommendation for any mattress, but especially for one as nice as the Organica Plush. A good quality, waterproof mattress protector will guard against spills, stains, and even dust mites.

Simply put, it’s much easier to wash a protector than to clean a mattress! Plus, keeping your mattress stain-free is crucial for maintaining the warranty.

Just make sure you have a mattress protector that can slip over this 16-inch mattress!

Rotate Regularly

While the Organica Plush doesn’t need to be flipped, I strongly advise rotating it head-to-foot every 3 to 6 months. Rotating the mattress ensures even wear and prevents body impressions from forming.

In other words, say goodbye to dips or humps in the middle of the mattress! And the Organica’s side handles make it one of the easier mattresses I’ve ever tried to rotate, despite its bulk.

I do suggest you mark your calendar or set a phone reminder—it’s easy to forget, but doing this chore regularly makes a big difference in the long run!

Proper Support

Make sure your Organica Plush is on a suitable bed foundation. Amerisleep recommends a solid, non-spring foundation or a slatted base with slats no more than 3 inches apart.

If you have an older panel bed with too-wide slats, you can usually find suitable extra slats or a bunkie board at your local home improvement store.

In my experience, proper support is crucial for maintaining the mattress’s shape and performance.

Cleaning the Mattress

About every few months, give your mattress a good vacuum using the upholstery attachment. This helps remove dust and allergens.

Be gentle with your movements, as you don’t want to puncture your mattress. Pay special attention to the seams and crevices where dust likes to hide.

While vacuuming should suffice to keep the mattress clean, you may need to tackle a stain from a spill or other accident. It happens to the best of us! Should that be the case, you want to gently dab with a mild detergent and cool water.

Avoid saturating the mattress—use as little moisture as possible and allow it to air dry completely before making the bed.

Air It Out

Whenever you change your sheets (which I’ve found is best done at least once a week, by the way), let your mattress breathe for an hour or so. This helps dissipate any moisture that may have accumulated and keeps your mattress feeling fresh.

If you notice any lingering funky smells from a sweaty night, I would suggest sprinkling baking soda along the surface to deodorize the mattress. Leave the baking soda alone for at least half an hour, though the longer you leave it the more it can work its magic! Once you’re satisfied that your mattress is stink-free, vacuum up the baking soda.

And while a bit of fresh air is good for your mattress, don’t just plop it by your bedroom window. You want to avoid direct sunlight for extended periods. UV rays can break down some of the materials over time.

Mind the Weight

While the Organica Plush is durable, be mindful of the weight it’s designed to support. Excessive weight can strain the materials over time.

In particular, this means to avoid jumping on the bed. I know it’s tempting, especially for kids, but jumping on the bed can damage the internal structure of the mattress.

And when moving the mattress, always lift it rather than drag it. This prevents unnecessary stress on the materials and helps maintain its shape. The Organica Plush has handles along its sides precisely to make this sort of task easier!

Address Issues Promptly

If you notice any unusual sagging, lumps, or other changes in your mattress, don’t ignore them. Contact Amerisleep’s customer service right away—addressing issues early can often prevent bigger problems down the line. And save you from uncomfortable nights of struggling to sleep, to boot!

XIII. Conclusion

After thoroughly testing and evaluating the Amerisleep Organica Plush, I can confidently say that this mattress is a standout option in the luxury eco-friendly mattress market. Its thoughtful combination of natural materials, innovative design, and commitment to sustainability make it a compelling choice for those seeking both comfort and environmental responsibility.

XIV. FAQs

Is it good to sleep on a plush latex mattress?

Yes, a mattress like the Organica Box Top can be good for many people. Plush latex offers a unique combination of softness and support, contouring to your body while still maintaining proper spinal alignment.

This type of mattress is particularly well-suited for side sleepers, those with joint pain, or anyone who prefers a softer sleep surface but still needs adequate support.

Is the Organica Plush good for your back?

It can be, especially if you’re a side sleeper or someone who prefers a softer mattress. Its plush top layers provide pressure relief for hips and shoulders, while the supportive latex core helps maintain proper spinal alignment.

However, individuals with certain back conditions or those who require a firmer surface for optimal back support may need to consider other options. It’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional about your specific needs.

Does the Organica Plush smell?

Unlike many synthetic foam mattresses, the Organica Plush typically has minimal off-gassing or “new mattress smell”. This is because it’s made with natural materials like organic latex, wool, and cotton, which tend to have less chemical odor.

Any slight scent you might notice is usually from the natural materials themselves and should dissipate quickly. Most users report that the original Organica has a neutral or even pleasant natural smell, and we can expect the same from the Plush model.

Why sleep on a natural mattress?

Sleeping on a natural mattress like the Organica Plush offers several benefits. Firstly, natural materials tend to be more breathable and temperature-regulating, which can lead to a more comfortable sleep.

Secondly, they’re often free from harmful chemicals and synthetic materials, making them a healthier choice for both you and the environment.

Lastly, natural mattresses are typically more durable and can offer better long-term value compared to synthetic alternatives.

Do you sink in on the Organica Plush?

While the Organica Plush does offer a soft, cushioning feel, you won’t experience the same deep “sinking” sensation as you might with memory foam. Latex foam has a more buoyant, responsive feel that gently cradles your body while still allowing for easy movement.

You’ll feel comfortably cradled rather than engulfed, with the mattress providing a nice balance of softness and support.

Do latex mattresses sag over time?

Latex mattresses, including the Organica Plush, are known for their durability and resistance to sagging. Natural latex is inherently resilient and tends to maintain its shape and support over many years of use.

While all mattresses will show some signs of wear over time, latex typically outperforms many other materials in terms of longevity and resistance to permanent indentations. With proper care and regular rotation, a quality latex mattress should maintain its supportive properties for a long time.
