Idle Sleep Gel Plush Mattress Review

Idle Gel Sleep Plush Mattress Review
 

Idle Sleep, an online mattress company, filed for bankruptcy in March 2023. The company cited a number of factors for its bankruptcy, including supply chain disruptions, rising costs, and increased competition.

Idle Sleep was founded in 2019 and quickly became one of the most popular online mattress brands. The company offered a variety of mattresses, including hybrid, latex, and memory foam models. Idle Sleep also offered a generous 18-month sleep trial and free shipping and returns.

However, in recent months, Idle Sleep faced a number of challenges. The company struggled to keep up with demand due to supply chain disruptions. Additionally, Idle Sleep faced rising costs for materials and shipping. Finally, the company faced increased competition from other online mattress brands.

Idle Sleep’s bankruptcy left many customers disappointed and frustrated. Some customers had not yet received their mattresses, while others were struggling to get refunds. The company’s customer service was also overwhelmed, making it difficult for customers to get help.

Idle Sleep’s bankruptcy is a reminder of the risks associated with buying mattresses online. Customers should carefully research mattress companies before making a purchase. Additionally, customers should read the terms and conditions of any sleep trial or refund policy before buying a mattress.

Here are some tips for buying a mattress online:

  • Research the company. Read reviews from other customers to get a sense of the company’s reputation and customer service.
  • Compare prices and features. There are many different mattress companies and models to choose from. Be sure to compare prices and features before making a purchase.
  • Read the fine print. Before you buy, be sure to read the terms and conditions of any sleep trial or refund policy.
  • Consider using a credit card. When you buy a mattress online, consider using a credit card. This will give you additional protection in case the company goes bankrupt or you have problems with your mattress.
 

 

The Idle Sleep Gel Plush mattress is one of the softest mattresses I ever slept on. If you’re looking for the ultimate in pressure relief, this is the mattress for you. Idle sleep is best known for providing an industry-leading 18-month trial. They also make mattresses that are incredibly affordable with great financing. If you are in the market for a soft foam mattress at a great value, you owe it to yourself to give the idle plush a try.

Overview of the Idle Plush Mattress

Here’s a video overview of the idle plush. You can see in the video that just sitting on the mattress I sink into it a good amount.

 

Once you order your Idle mattress, it should arrive in about a week. There may be longer delays with Covid 19 but Coronavirus aside, it will arrive fairly soon. Your mattress will come in a box like the one below.

Idle Plush Box

When you open the box you will find 2 free Idle Sleep pillows which is a great bonus since you probably need new pillows anyway if you’re buying a new mattress.

Unlike normal memory foam that doesn’t provide much support to where you need it most, our custom foam has greater thermal neutrality which means it goes back into shape much quicker and retains less heat.

8″ IDLE HIGH DENSITY FOAM BASE

At 8″ our bases provide superior stability for every layer. Its one reason our Idle foam gel mattresses have at least 1″ extra height compared to other brands And at 2.4lb of foam core density, this is at least 30% more than the market average, making it extra durable

How Long is the Idle Plush Mattress Trial Period?

Idle Sleep offers the longest trial period of any brand that I have reviewed. You get 18 months to try out the mattress in your home. That’s a year and a half or 540 days! If you for whatever reason, don’t like it after that time, it’s a free return with a full refund. The standard among online mattress brands is 100 nights, some companies upped the ante with a 1-year trial but Idle is way ahead of the pack here.

My Idle Plush Mattress Findings

This is one of the softest mattresses I have ever tried. This makes it most suitable for side sleepers or back sleepers that want maximum pressure relief. I wouldn’t recommend this mattress for stomach sleepers because it just doesn’t have enough support for your lower back when sleeping on your stomach.

Here you can see how much my 14 lb. bowling ball sinks into the mattress.

My Idle Sleep Plush Mattress Recommendation

I recommend the Idle Gel Plush to people looking for a very soft mattress. If your main concern with sleep is pressure relief, then this a great choice. One of the issues with really soft mattresses is that they are prone to trapping heat and although this is a soft foam mattress, Idle has incorporated cooling gel into the top layer to help a bit with cooling. That said, it will sleep a bit warmer than a firmer mattress simple because you will be hugged more by this mattress.

Idle Sleep has taken away any reason to give their mattresses a try. 18 months is more than enough time to see if its right for you and you get a full refund if you want to return it within that time frame. If you have tried other plush mattresses online and still are finding one that is soft enough then the Idle Plush would be my top pick for you.

  3. Mattress is 14 inches thick, barely any offgassing. I’m sensitive to it, and only had “new mattress smell” for one day, then it was gone.
