Plank Firm Review

Rating: 6.6
Verified
Buy Plank
The Plank Firm Mattress by Brooklyn Bedding is a flippable mattress offering two firmness levels: firm (8/10) and extra firm (9/10). It is ideal for back and stomach sleepers, especially those who are moderate to heavyweight, due to its substantial support and minimal sinkage. The mattress excels in cooling, has moderate motion transfer, excellent edge support, quick response time, and varying pressure relief depending on the side used. It features a 9-inch profile with a 2-inch comfort layer of latex-like poly foam and a 7-inch support layer. The company offers a 120-night trial and a 10-year warranty, with a $99 return fee after a 30-night break-in period. Side sleepers may find it too firm.
