A plush mattress is one with a soft feel. It's the type of mattress that you literally sink into, hugging your body as you fall asleep. On the common mattress firmness scale, a plush mattress usually has a firmness of around 3–4 out of 10 (soft to medium-soft), though labels can vary by brand.
Plush mattresses are often considered unsupportive, but that's a myth, as plush mattresses can still be supportive thanks to a solid core. When you lie down, the top layers compress around the shoulders and hips, reducing peak pressure without turning your bed into a hammock.
