Organic Latex
PlushBeds is America’s largest distributor of ARPICO organic latex. Rubber tree sap is tapped from the Kegalle plantation in Sri Lanka and grown without chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides. The Botanical Bliss offers a healthier toxin-free sleep environment.
Certified organic non-woven engineered cotton
All cotton used by PlushBeds are Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified. To qualify for this certification, it must be grown without chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides. Organic cotton is hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly. This material has exceptional absorption and release characteristics and is soft and comfortable. Non-woven cotton provides greater uniformity and strength than knitting, weaving or other processes.
Organic Wool
Only 100% pure New Zealand wool is used in the Botanical Bliss. Wool is a natural heat regulator that creates a breathable microclimate. This allows your body to maintain a constant, comfortable temperature. Organic wool also resists mildew and repels dust mites; ideal for allergy sufferers. The Botanical Bliss needs no chemical fire retardants because organic wool creates a natural flame barrier. High keratin protein and moisture content make it naturally resistant to burning. All PlushBeds wool is Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified. From the farm to the factory, all wools used are monitored at every stage. Keeping with GOTS requirements, flocks are managed inhumane, chemical free environment. All wool must meet the highest standard of purity.

The Botanical Bliss is made in a 9″, 10” or 12” mattress. Each model is available in either a medium or firm option. By rearranging the layers, you can easily adjust the firmness level to create a custom comfort feel that’s just right for you. The 10” consists of 3 adjustable layers of ARPICO organic latex. Both 10” options can be arranged in 6 different firmness levels.
The 12” adds an extra 3” middle layer of ARPICO organic latex. This increases the firmness choices from 6 – 8. The extra layer expands the softness range for those seeking more contouring conformity. It also provides additional stability for larger body types.
Easily Arrange Or Rearrange Firmness
By changing the position of each layer, a softer or firmer feel can be obtained. Natural organic latex adheres to itself once aligned and requires no glues to hold layers in place. Having the ability easily to tweak the firmness level of your mattress greatly increases your odds of finding the comfort you want.
Note: The 12” offers 8 firmness levels per mattress
Before Considering Your Firmness Level
Physical size can play a role in personal comfort. A larger person’s body will be absorbed deeper into the mattress than a petite individual. A smaller body type will lay more on top of the mattress; making this bed feel firmer. A person with greater body mass will be absorbed deeper; making the bed feel softer. Preferred sleep position is a factor also. We’ll break down what to expect from various firmness options. When making your decision, always consider comfort first.
PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Certified 100% organic: ARPICO natural latex is GOLS certified organic. All wools and cottons used ar GOTS certified organic. No pesticides or harsh chemical fire retardants are used in production. This is great for allergy sufferers.
- Ease of movement: Bounce and buoyancy are characteristics of quality organic latex. Movement is free and easy.
- Sleeps cool: While all foams are capable of retaining a certain amount of heat, natural, organic latex sleeps far cooler than synthetic materials like memory foam.
- Customizable comfort: Rearrange your mattress to create the ideal firmness level.
- 25 Year Warranty: PlushBeds offers one of the most comprehensive warranties in the industry
Cons:
- Not recommended if you have latex or wool allergies. We do acknowledge latex allergies are contact in nature and should pose no danger. However, we feel there are far too many other options available to take that chance. If your allergies are limited to wool, consider the Natural Bliss.

Who Will Not Like This Mattress
Memory foam lovers who prefer deep body hug and conformity will not like this mattress. It’s a personal preference; not a question of right or wrong. For those that fit this description, the Botanical Bliss will have too much bounce.
Latex or wool allergy sufferers should consider other safer options.
PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Unboxing and Setup
Natural latex is quite heavy, you may need a hand getting it out of the box and into its resting place. Once you maneuver the mattress into the bedroom, it needs to be unpacked from the plastic seal. We recommend placing your mattress on the the bed prior to unwrapping. Being careful not to damage the fabric, carefully cut through the protective plastic. Once the vacuum seal is broken, your mattress will expand quickly. However, It will still need time to decompress and aerate. Although you can lay down on your bed right away, the The Botanical Bliss will fully expand in a few hours.
Note: As with any quality mattress, It’s essential a Queen or King have a frame with a sturdy center support and additional legs on the ground. Over time, Inferior frames can affect the support and longevity of your mattress.
