Nowadays, most online mattress companies offer souped up versions of their bestselling product lines just because, well, they can. Most times these supercharged versions become even more popular than their basic siblings but other times, they fall flat. The Birch Luxe Natural mattress promises to be an even more luxurious version of the Birch Natural. Does it really warrant the higher price tag? Read on to find out.

Our experience with the Birch Luxe Natural Mattress
I have to say, I wasn’t expecting much from the Birch Luxe Natural.
I honestly thought it was going to be just like the base model Birch Natural with maybe an added feature or two, but I actually ended up being pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it.
Just like all Birch Living mattresses, the Birch Luxe Natural boasts an impressive list of certifications such as the Greenguard Gold, eco-INSTITUT, GOLS and Fair Trade.
These aren’t just marketing gimmicks. These certifications mean BUSINESS.
Now for the most important stuff – the performance.
It was consistent all across the board ( as our performance tests below have shown) which, in all honesty, is what matters when it comes to mattresses.
From comfort to cooling to motion isolation, the Birch Luxe Natural is consistently good.
But like they always say, there’s no such thing as one size fits all.
The Birch Luxe Natural mattress, as consistent as it may be, is not quite perfect.
If you’re a strict side sleeper or if you’re heavier than 250 lbs., the Birch Luxe Natural won’t provide enough comfort and support.
Firmness Test
The Birch Luxe Natural sits on a 6 to 6.5 on the mattress firmness scale giving it a medium-firm feel.
Although this firmness level is suitable for most sleeper types including back and stomach sleepers as well as combination sleepers, those who sleep strictly on their sides may find the Birch Luxe Natural to be a bit too firm.
And while the Birch Luxe Natural is a hybrid mattress and can accommodate heavier-set sleepers, those who weigh well over 200 lbs and prefer to sleep on their stomachs might find that their spinal alignment is thrown out of whack (because the mattress causes their hips to sink in a little too deep for comfort).
Cooling Test
We rate the Birch Luxe Natural a 9 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.
The Birch Luxe Natural mattress does not really contain any actively cooling materials.
You may already know by now that pure latex, which the Birch Luxe Natural contains, is however naturally cooling.
Combined with the mattress’ pocketed coil unit which allows air to flow continuously throughout the entire mattress, the Birch Luxe Natural retains very little heat.
Motion Isolation Test
We rate the Birch Luxe Natural mattress an 8 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.
There’s no denying that mattresses with coils are bouncier than those without and the Birch Luxe Natural is no exception.
But here’s the thing – I still found it to perform pretty well when it comes to isolating any cross mattress movement when I tried it out with a partner.
If you’re sharing a bed with a partner who is heavier than you however, you may experience a significant amount of motion transfer especially if your partner is the type of sleeper who tosses and turns when they sleep.
Edge Support Test
We rate the Birch Luxe Natural an 8.5 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.
The Birch Luxe Natural’s coil unit features reinforced edge coils that offer good edge support.
Not the best I’ve tried to be honest but it’s not bad at all.
You won’t feel as though you’re going to roll off the bed at any time if you’re the type of sleeper who likes to lay close to the edge of the bed.
Pressure Relief/Comfort Test
We rate the Birch Luxe Natural an 8 out of 10 when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.
The Birch Luxe Natural contains layers upon layers of comfort foam as well as a plush Euro top cover which contributes to its comfort level.
So even though Birch Luxe Natural is a medium-firm, it delivers when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.
Latex foam – although not as contouring as memory foam – still provides ample pressure relief.
Construction
There are 8 layers to the Birch Luxe Natural mattress.
Technically 9 if you count the Euro top cover – but calling that a ‘layer’ is a bit of a stretch – which is made up of organic cotton that I found to be both breathable and moisture wicking.
It’s also quilted which is what gives it its plush feel.
A fire retardant layer made up of a plant-based fiber blend makes up the top layer of the Birch Luxe Natural.
Right below that lay 3 layers of natural, organic wool that offer extra cushioning and loft while also providing temperature regulation.
Next comes a layer of GOLS certified natural latex that provides both comfort and responsive support. As I’ve mentioned, pure latex is naturally cooling and also hypoallergenic.
Another layer of GOLD certified natural latex comes next. This layer has more of a firmer feel and offers additional support while also acting as a transition layer between the comfort layers and the coil unit.
Up to 1000 individually wrapped coils make up the coil unit of the Birch Luxe Natural. This layer provides responsive and zoned support for all areas of the body.
The base layer is made up of plant-based fiber to offer an extra layer of protection.
Durability
This is the second Birch Living mattress we’ve tried.
We can safely say that the quality and craftsmanship of the Birch Luxe Natural mattress is on par with other high-end mattress brands.
With proper use and mattress maintenance, the Birch Luxe Natural will last a very long time.
