Luxury latex mattress Posh and Lavish review Embrace and Birch alternatives
Posh and Lavish latex mattress in showroom

Quick take

Posh and Lavish makes some of the nicest feeling latex mattresses I have tested, with dense comfort and strong pressure relief. They are also one of the most expensive options in the showroom and in my opinion Embrace delivers a very similar feel and better durability at a more reasonable price.

  • Premium latex and wool comfort with a rich, plush surface
  • Multiple model families for different body types and firmness preferences
  • Price is high enough that you should compare against Embrace, Birch Luxe, Avocado and the Yawnder mattress before you buy

Posh and Lavish mattress overview

Posh and Lavish is a luxury mattress brand that focuses almost entirely on latex based designs. Instead of cheap poly foam and coils, they lean into natural latex, wool and quality fabrics. The result is a dense, buoyant feel that is very different from a boxed foam mattress from a budget brand.

Where most brands keep their lineup simple, Posh and Lavish goes the opposite way with multiple model families and pillow top variants. That gives you a lot of choice, but it also makes the line confusing if you do not live and breathe mattress specs every day.

Below I break the lineup into plain language so you can see which group you belong in and whether you should stay with Posh and Lavish or move to an alternative like Embrace, Birch Luxe, Avocado, WinkBed or the Yawnder mattress instead.

Posh and Lavish mattress ratings (1 to 10)

These ratings are based on my hands-on testing and customer feedback, averaged across the most popular Posh and Lavish latex and hybrid models.

Category Rating (1–10) What it feels like
Softness / firmness 6–8medium to medium firm Plush top with a supportive core; most models land in the medium to medium firm range with pillow top versions feeling the softest.
Pressure relief 8 / 10 Excellent shoulder and hip pressure relief for side and combo sleepers, especially on the thicker latex and pillow top builds.
Motion transfer 7 / 10 Better than a traditional innerspring, not as dead as a slow memory foam bed. Expect some bounce but not a lot of partner disturbance.
Breathability / sleeping cool 8 / 10 Latex, wool and breathable covers keep these beds relatively cool and comfortable for most sleepers.
Edge support 8 / 10 Very solid edges on the pocket sprung line and good edge stability on the all latex models compared with typical foam beds.
Ease of movement 9 / 10 Latex makes it easy to change positions; you never feel stuck like you can on deep memory foam.
Overall value 7 / 10 Materials and feel are excellent, but price is high compared with alternatives such as Embrace, Birch Luxe, Avocado and the Yawnder mattress.

Posh and Lavish mattress models explained

All latex Posh and Lavish mattresses

These are the purest expressions of what Posh and Lavish does best. Think thick stacks of latex with a plush surface and strong support.

  • Relax
  • Restore
  • Reveal
  • Refine
  • Release True Pillow Top
  • Reawaken True Pillow Top

The core idea is the same across the group. Latex comfort layers over more latex support, wrapped in a rich cover with wool inside for natural temperature control and a more luxurious feel. The True Pillow Top versions add a very thick, attached pillow top so the surface feels more like a boutique hotel bed.

Latex plus memory foam Posh and Lavish mattresses

These models blend latex support with an extra memory foam layer to create a slightly deeper contour.

  • Flow
  • Flux
  • Fusion

Expect a more pronounced body imprint on these compared to the full latex line. You get quicker pressure relief in the shoulders and hips, with the latex underneath keeping the bed from feeling slow or sticky. If you love memory foam for pain relief but hate how it can trap you, this group hits a nice middle ground.

Pocket sprung Posh and Lavish mattresses

These are the hybrid builds that introduce pocketed coils under latex comfort.

  • Premier
  • Prominence
  • Preeminence
  • Predominant True Pillow Top
  • Prestige True Pillow Top

The pocket sprung line brings more bounce, stronger edge support and better airflow through the core. The True Pillow Top versions are the plushest, hotel style builds. These can work really well for heavier sleepers and couples who want something that feels substantial and stable without losing that latex comfort on top.

Posh and Lavish accessories

Posh and Lavish also offers latex and memory foam toppers along with bases and pillows:

  • Two inch latex topper
  • Three inch latex topper
  • Two inch memory foam topper
  • Foundations and pillows to pair with the mattresses

For most people, if you are already buying into this price tier, it makes more sense to get the feel you want from the mattress itself rather than adding a topper band aid on top.

Construction and materials in Posh and Lavish mattresses

The heart of the Posh and Lavish story is materials. You are paying for high quality latex, wool and stronger covers, not cheap poly foam in a box.

Core materials

  • Natural latex as the primary comfort and support material in most models
  • Organic cotton and New Zealand wool in the cover for moisture control and a more breathable surface
  • Memory foam comfort on select Flow, Flux and Fusion builds for deeper contouring
  • Pocketed coils in the Premier, Prominence and related models for stronger edge support and bounce

Zoned support and feel

Many Posh and Lavish models use zoning in the support core. That means firmer latex or coils through the middle third and slightly softer feel under the shoulders. The idea is to keep your hips from dropping while still letting your shoulders nestle in enough to keep a neutral spine.

The brand offers a range of firmness levels from plush to firm. In the showroom the line mostly leans into a medium to medium firm overall feel, with the true pillow top variants offering the softest first impression.

Big picture, construction on Posh and Lavish is excellent and absolutely justifies a premium price. The question is whether it justifies their price versus other high end latex competitors like Embrace, and more affordable eco hybrids like Birch Luxe, Avocado and the Yawnder mattress.

Firmness and comfort of Posh and Lavish

Firmness is personal, but after testing across the line a few patterns show up.

What Posh and Lavish feels like

  • Immediate pressure relief with a buoyant, weightless feel rather than a slow memory foam hug
  • Comfort that cradles the body but keeps you on top of the mattress rather than deep inside it
  • Very cohesive surface feel with a sense of sleeping on something dense and substantial

The all latex Relax, Restore, Reveal and Refine builds feel slightly firmer through the core with softer comfort on top. The true pillow top models push deeper pressure relief and a more hotel like plush surface.

Who is most likely to be comfortable

  • Back and side sleepers who want strong support without a hard, flat surface
  • Heavier sleepers who need more structure than a simple foam bed can give
  • Shoppers who love the idea of a luxury latex mattress and are willing to pay for it

Pure stomach sleepers and people who prefer a very thin, flat and firm feel will usually be better served elsewhere or in the firmer pocket sprung builds rather than the softest latex pillow tops.

Motion isolation and edge support

Motion isolation

Latex is naturally more responsive than slow memory foam, so you will always feel a bit more bounce on Posh and Lavish than on a deep memory foam bed. Even so, the dense latex layers absorb more movement than a basic coil mattress.

The all latex models do the best job at keeping partner movement under control. The pocket sprung line introduces more bounce, but the independent coils help keep that bounce localized rather than sending a big wave across the bed.

Edge support

Edge support is generally good across the line and very good on the pocket sprung models. You can sit on the border of the coil builds without feeling like you are sliding off the side. The pure latex models compress more at the edge but still feel safer than many simple foam beds.

Cooling and temperature regulation

Traditional memory foam tends to trap heat. Latex does better because it is springier and has more open cell structure. Posh and Lavish leans into this with latex, wool and breathable covers.

  • Latex comfort layers that sleep cooler than most dense memory foam
  • Wool directly under the cover to help regulate temperature and wick moisture
  • Pocketed coil cores that move air through the center of the mattress on the hybrid line

These beds are not icy cold the way some aggressive cooling foam builds try to be, but in my experience they run comfortably neutral to slightly cool for most people. Very hot sleepers may still want a breathable protector and sheets that do not choke off airflow.

Noise level

Latex is quiet. There are no squeaky connections or big metal grid units inside these cores. On the all latex models, noise is almost nonexistent. On the pocket sprung line, the better quality pocketed coils are still much quieter than old school open coil beds.

If you are a light sleeper who wakes up to every sound in the room, Posh and Lavish is friendly in this department.

Posh and Lavish warranty and trial

Posh and Lavish mattresses come with a multi year warranty that covers defects in materials and construction. Exact terms can vary by retailer, but ten years is common in this segment.

Trial and return policies usually depend on the retailer as well. Many high end shops will give you a comfort window and may charge a pickup or exchange fee. You should always confirm the real world return policy at the store you plan to buy from before you commit.

Posh and Lavish versus Embrace and other alternatives

Why I often steer shoppers to Embrace instead

Posh and Lavish is excellent. The question is value. The Embrace twelve inch plush latex mattress gives a very similar pressure relieving feel, uses organic latex, and in my experience is more durable and better priced. Embrace also carries a longer warranty on paper.

Feature Posh and Lavish Embrace twelve plush
Core material Latex comfort and support, some models with memory foam blend Organic latex comfort and support
Firmness feel Mostly medium firm with plush pillow top options Medium plush with strong support underneath
Pressure relief Good to very good depending on model Excellent contour and relief for most body types
Motion isolation Good, better on all latex designs Very good for a latex build
Breathability Good, especially on hybrids Good to very good with breathable cover and latex core
Durability Good Very good, with a longer warranty backing it up
Warranty Often around ten years Commonly around twenty years
Price tier Very expensive Still premium but a better value per year of expected use

If you want the most luxurious latex feel available and do not care what it costs, Posh and Lavish is a clear contender. If you want luxury latex that is easier on your wallet and still looks and feels high end in eight or ten years, Embrace gets my vote.

Other, more affordable alternatives to Posh and Lavish

  • Birch Luxe – Organic latex hybrid with wool and coils. It has a slightly firmer, more supportive feel than the plushest Posh and Lavish models and comes in at a noticeably lower price point while still hitting the eco story.
  • Avocado Green and Avocado Luxe – Organic latex and coil construction with a strong sustainability angle. The standard Avocado Green runs quite firm, while the pillow top and Luxe versions add more pressure relief. All of them are more affordable than most Posh and Lavish builds.
  • Yawnder mattress – A curated latex hybrid designed to deliver a high end feel and strong support at a more accessible price. If you like the idea of luxury latex but want cleaner value, this is exactly where I would look.
  • WinkBed – A coil and foam hybrid with plenty of bounce and strong support at a lower price point than most latex builds. Not as natural, but a good alternative if you mainly care about support and comfort.
  • Saatva Classic – Traditional innerspring and euro top feel with zoning and several firmness options, though quality of materials is not at the same level as Posh and Lavish, Birch Luxe or Embrace.

Who is the Posh and Lavish mattress best for

Good fit

  • Sleepers who want a true luxury latex feel and are comfortable in the higher price tier
  • Back and side sleepers who like a plush surface over a supportive core
  • Heavier sleepers who need more structure than foam in a box brands can give
  • Shoppers who want more natural materials and fewer petro based foams in their bed

Probably not the best fit

  • Strict stomach sleepers who want a very flat, extra firm surface
  • Bargain hunters who simply want something decent for the lowest cost
  • People who prefer a slow, deep memory foam hug with very little bounce

Posh and Lavish mattress frequently asked questions

Are Posh and Lavish mattresses worth the price

From a build quality standpoint, yes. Materials and construction are excellent and feel very high end. The question is whether they are worth it to you personally compared with alternatives like Embrace, Birch Luxe, Avocado or the Yawnder mattress that use similar concepts at a lower price. If budget is wide open and you love the specific Posh and Lavish feel, you will probably be happy. If you are value conscious even at the luxury level, I would compare directly against those alternatives first.

What is the difference between Posh and Lavish latex models and the latex plus memory foam models

The all latex Relax, Restore, Reveal and similar builds rely entirely on latex for comfort and support. They feel buoyant and responsive with a floating sensation. The Flow, Flux and Fusion group add a memory foam layer, which creates a slightly deeper contour and more cushioned feel without giving up all the bounce. If you like a little more sink and pressure relief around shoulders and hips, the blended models are a better match.

Is Posh and Lavish good for people with allergies

Natural latex, organic cotton and wool can be friendlier for some allergy sufferers than low quality polyurethane foams. Latex is naturally resistant to dust mites and mold, and wool helps regulate moisture. That said, anyone with a true latex allergy should talk to their doctor before buying a latex bed and may be better served with a non latex option.

Do Posh and Lavish mattresses work for heavier sleepers

Yes, especially the thicker all latex and pocket sprung models. They offer more support and a more substantial feel than many all foam beds. For very high body weights, I still lean toward reinforced latex and coil designs like Embrace or a well built hybrid such as Birch Luxe or the Yawnder mattress that are designed with higher weight limits in mind.

How long does a Posh and Lavish mattress last

Latex mattresses in this quality tier can often deliver close to a decade of comfortable use with proper support and care. The warranty typically runs around ten years and is a good guide to what the brand expects in terms of useful life. As with any mattress, heavier sleepers and people who sit on the edge every day will see faster wear than lighter sleepers.

Is Posh and Lavish better than Birch Luxe, Avocado or the Yawnder mattress

On pure material cost and hand feel, Posh and Lavish can feel more decadent, especially in the plusher latex builds. Birch Luxe, Avocado and the Yawnder mattress are more about delivering strong eco or latex hybrid performance at a more approachable price. If you want maximum luxury and price is secondary, Posh and Lavish is in the running. If you want 80–90 percent of that feel at a much lower cost, Birch Luxe, Avocado and Yawnder are smarter places to start.

Should I choose Posh and Lavish or Embrace

If you want the most plush, boutique latex feel and you are comfortable in the highest price tier, Posh and Lavish is a very solid choice. If you want a similar feel, better long term value, and in my opinion better overall construction and warranty, Embrace is the smarter move. That is why I position Embrace as the main alternative if you are already looking at Posh and Lavish.

My verdict on Posh and Lavish in 2025

Posh and Lavish is a true luxury latex brand. The feel is dense, buoyant and rich and the materials are absolutely a step above most mainstream mattresses. If you fall in love with the way one of their models feels in person and money is less of a concern, you are not making a bad choice.

If you want luxury latex but also want to squeeze maximum value out of every dollar, I would put Embrace, Birch Luxe, Avocado and the Yawnder mattress at the top of your list and treat Posh and Lavish as the reference point they have to beat. Either way, make sure you are buying from a retailer with a real trial and a clear comfort policy, and let your body tell you the truth over several weeks, not five minutes on a showroom floor.
