CONSTRUCTION
The Plank Mattress is constructed with the following layers:
Layers
Firm Side (Top Layer)
- Quilted Top Layer (0.75 inches):
- Made of high-density quilting foam.
- Provides a firm, flat sleep surface with minimal contouring for those who prefer a traditional mattress feel.
- This layer is designed to distribute weight evenly, minimizing pressure points.
- Comfort Layer (2 inches)
- Composed of TitanFlex™ foam, a proprietary material that combines the responsiveness of latex with the contouring properties of memory foam.
- Offers slight cushioning and responsiveness while maintaining the firm support needed for spinal alignment.
Core Support Layer
Support Layer (7 inches):
- Made from high-density polyfoam.
- Provides the foundational structure of the mattress, ensuring durability and long-term support.
- Prevents excessive sinkage, critical for maintaining the integrity of the firm and extra firm surfaces.
Extra Firm Side (Bottom Layer)
Quilted Top Layer (0.75 inches):
- Another layer of high-density quilting foam, similar to the firm side but designed for an ultra-firm feel.
- This layer provides a nearly flat surface with minimal give, catering to sleepers who need maximum support and prefer little to no softness.
Optional Cooling Panel
- For an additional cost, the Plank Mattress can include a phase-change material (PCM) cooling panel.
- This panel is sewn into the cover and designed to absorb and dissipate heat, creating a cooler sleep surface.
- Ideal for hot sleepers who may find the high-density foam layers retain warmth.
FIRMNESS LEVEL
This dual-sided design allows sleepers to choose between firm (rated 7 out of 10) and extra firm (rated 9 out of 10) support levels.
The Plank Mattress is among the firmest options available:
Firm Side: Offers solid support with slight cushioning, suitable for back and stomach sleepers who require spinal alignment.
Extra Firm Side: Provides a very firm surface with minimal cushioning, ideal for sleepers seeking maximum support and minimal sinkage.

Side Sleepers
May find the mattress too firm, potentially leading to pressure points at the shoulders and hips.
Back Sleepers
Both sides offer excellent lumbar support, promoting proper spinal alignment.
Stomach Sleeper
The firm and extra firm surfaces prevent hips from sinking, maintaining alignment and reducing pressure on the lower back.
FEATURES
Cooling and Temperature Regulation
The Plank Mattress’s firm surfaces reduce sinkage, allowing for better airflow around the body. While it lacks advanced cooling technologies, the minimal contouring helps dissipate heat, making it a reasonable choice for sleepers who tend to overheat.
Pressure Relief
The Avocado Green Mattress is a perfect blend of an inner coil and foam structure that uplift your hips and sink into your shoulders to support spinal alignment. The firmness prevents your back and spine from twisting while asleep.
Motion Isolation
The high-density foams absorb motion effectively, minimizing disturbances from a partner’s movements during the night.
Edge Support
The dense polyfoam core provides robust edge support, allowing sleepers to utilize the full mattress surface without experiencing significant sagging.
