Plank Firm Luxe Review

Rating: 7.3
Verified
Buy Plank
The Plank Firm Luxe mattress is a flippable hybrid mattress designed for those who prefer a very firm sleeping surface, with two firmness levels: very firm (8/10) and extra firm (9/10). It is ideal for back and stomach sleepers, especially heavier individuals. The mattress excels in cooling, edge support, and response time but has lower scores for pressure relief and motion transfer, making it less suitable for side sleepers or couples sensitive to movement. Key features include excellent cooling due to its hybrid design, moderate sinkage, high motion transfer, fast response time, outstanding edge support, good performance for sexual activity, limited pressure relief, and moderate off-gassing. The mattress is made of poly foam and pocketed coils, with a breathable cover. Plank offers a 120-night trial and a 10-year warranty, but there is a $99 return fee after a 30-night break-in period.
