If you’re in the market for a mattress that feels very firm and keeps you sleeping "on top of" the bed rather than sinking into it, the Plank Firm Luxe delivers. It’s especially suited for hot sleepers thanks to excellent cooling, and for sleepers who prioritize surface stability, edge support, and ease of movement over plush contour. That said: if you’re a strict side sleeper looking for deep cushioning, this may feel too flat or firm for you.

MEET THE PLANK FIRM LUXE MATTRESS

Firmness, Construction, and Performance

At The Drift, we take mattresses (and your sleep) seriously. That starts with what your bed is made of and how that translates to its feel and durability. Let's dive in.

Feel & Firmness

  • Firmness Level: This mattress is designed with two sides: a "Firm" side and an "Extra Firm" side (hybrid construction). Independent testing ranks it around 7–8/10 (Firm side) and 9/10 (Extra Firm) on the firmness scale.
  • Feel Description: You’ll feel a minimal comfort/top layer, then a robust support core - so your body rests very “on” the mattress rather than “in” it. One reviewer described it as “sleeping on a plank” (in the extra-firm side) while the firm side offers slightly more cushioning but still very limited sink. 
  • Our Take: With our ratings (Pressure Relief 4/10, Cooling 10/10, Edge Support 10/10, Ease of Movement 9/10), we see this as a specialized mattress: Little in the way of deep contouring - so for people who want “hug” or heavy sink, this is not the sweet spot. Excellent for those who want a very flat, firm surface, high edge usability, minimal sag, and strong cooling. The high ease of movement and strong edge support make it attractive if you get in/out of bed often, use the full surface, share the bed, or have mobility needs.

Construction & Materials

Height: Approximately 13"
Design:

  • The Plank Firm Luxe uses a hybrid design with pocket-coils (support core), minimal comfort foam layers, and an optional cooling cover add-on.
  • The “flippable” design means you can use either side: a Firm side (slightly more comfort) or Extra-Firm side (maximum firmness).
  • Cooling features: reviewers measured excellent temperature regulation thanks to the limited foam sink and strong airflow through coils. For example, one lab measured modest rise in surface temperature during testing.

Why It Matters:

  • Firm surface = less hip/shoulder sink, which can help with spinal alignment (especially for back & stomach sleepers).
  • Coil core + low sink = easier to move around (our ease of movement 9/10) and strong edge usability (edge support 10/10).
  • Limited foam & firm construction = cooler sleep (cooling 10/10 in our rating) since less body heat is trapped.

Our Ratings & Advice

We've tested over 1,000 mattresses in the last 10 years and helped serve better sleep to over 1 million shoppers. Our ratings are born out of lab-based testing and real world evaluations.

Performance Breakdown

 Category Our Rating Summary
Pressure Relief 4 / 10 Because the mattress offers very limited cushioning, side sleepers may experience more pressure at shoulders/hips than on softer mattresses. Lab testing supports this: low sink and minimal contouring.
Cooling 10 / 10 Excellent. Many testers noted low heat retention and strong airflow - especially helpful if you’re a hot sleeper.
Support 7.5 / 10 Good. The firm surface and support core hold alignment well, though for some very heavy sleepers or those needing cradle you may want a mattress offering a bit more contour.
Motion Isolation 7 / 10 Moderate. The firm, coil-rich design means some partner movement may be felt more than on dense foam models. Lab data found more motion transfer compared to average mattresses.
Edge Support 10 / 10 Top notch. Reviewers found excellent edge stability and minimal drop-off when sitting or lying near the edge.
Ease of Movement 9 / 10 Very good. Because you’re sleeping on the mattress, not in it, repositioning is easier. The firm surface and coil core make movement and combination-sleep positions more comfortable.

Sleep Position Ratings

Use with caution. If you’re a side sleeper who needs soft cushioning around shoulders and hips, the Plank Firm Luxe may feel too firm and flat - your pressure relief rating suggests this. If you’re heavier (230+ lbs) and prefer firm surfaces, major alignment may be fine.

Very good match. The firmness helps maintain spinal alignment without excessive sink; excellent edge support and movement ease make it a strong choice.

Strong match, particularly if you're average or heavier weight. The solid lift is good for preventing hip sag and maintaining alignment. Review testing supports this.

Good option, especially if you shift positions and want a stable, responsive surface - but if you occasionally side-sleep and require more contour, test in-store.

Couples / Shared Bed: If partner motion and edge use are important, this mattress excels in edge support and movement ease - but partner motion may be felt more than on foam beds, so ensure you test motion isolation in-store.

Final Verdict

The Plank Firm Luxe is a specialist mattress built for sleepers who want minimal sink, strong alignment, high edge support, and excellent cooling. It shines for back and stomach sleepers, heavier body types, combination sleepers who shift positions, and couples wanting strong edge and movement ease. For side sleepers or anyone seeking plush cushioning and strong hip/shoulder contour, you may want to test alternative models with softer feel.

Best For

  • Back and stomach sleepers who prefer firm surfaces.
  • Hot sleepers needing strong cooling performance.
  • Combination sleepers who change positions and want easy movement.
  • Couples or bed users who prioritize edge support and full-use of the bed surface.

Not Ideal For

  • Side sleepers wanting deep contour or plush “hug”.
  • Sleepers who desire a mattress they sink into (rather than on top of).
  • Shoppers wanting a soft or medium plush feel - this mattress is very firm.
