The Kluft Imperial Luxetop Plush is an ultra-luxury, hand-tufted innerspring mattress for shoppers who want a genuinely plush surface without losing basic alignment. In our hands-on testing, it delivered deep pressure relief, strong edge stability, and a polished, breathable feel. It fit side sleepers and combination sleepers best, especially in a primary bedroom where comfort matters more than budget.

Product Overview
| Mattress | Overall Score | Pros | Cons | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Imperial Luxetop Plush | 4.5/5 | Deep pressure relief; sturdy edges; breathable, lifted feel | Too plush for stomach sleepers; tall and heavy; expensive | Side sleepers; combo sleepers; couples; luxury buyers |
Final Verdict
After a month on the Imperial Luxetop Plush, I’d call it a high-end plush that still respects posture. The quilted natural fibers and latex/micro-coil stack create a cushioned top, while the support core and encased perimeter keep the midsection from sagging too far. It feels indulgent, but it is not the right match for sleepers who want a flatter, firmer surface.
Who It’s For
-
Side sleepers who want a deeper cradle at the shoulders and hips
-
Combination sleepers who like softness on top with steadier support underneath
-
Couples who want a calmer surface and more usable edge space
Who It’s Not For
-
People who prefer a taut, extra-firm feel
-
Anyone who dislikes a tall, sink-in comfort layer

How We Tested It

I slept on the mattress for 30 nights, rotating between back and side sleeping and spending extra time reading and working on a laptop to see how the plush top behaved under steady load. Our broader mattress testing process guided the checks throughout. Mia focused on shoulder and hip pressure during long side-sleep stretches, while Jenna and Ethan ran partner-movement checks and shared overnights to judge motion isolation. Our testing covered support, cooling, pressure relief, motion isolation, responsiveness, edge support, and durability using repeatable checks such as edge sink measurements, timed rebound after weight drops, and nightly notes on heat and alignment.
Our Testing Experience
The first week made the feel clear fast. I could sit at the edge to put on socks and the perimeter stayed composed, then slide back with a laptop and feel the top settle around me without the whole surface shifting. Overnight, the sensation was plush first and support second: my shoulders and hips got the cushioning, but my lower back never felt like it dropped out.
Mia spent longer side-sleep stretches on it and said her shoulder pressure stayed quieter than expected for such a high-loft bed. Jenna and Ethan used it for partner-movement checks, and when Ethan rolled or got up, Jenna felt a soft ripple instead of a sharp jolt. That matched what we saw across the rest of our hands-on testing: this is a soft luxury mattress, but it is not sloppy.

Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |

Choosing Guide
If you want the Imperial Luxetop Plush, you’re buying for a very specific feel: a tall, plush surface that still props up the midsection. Side sleepers and combination sleepers usually get the most out of it. Dedicated stomach sleepers should look elsewhere, and hotter sleepers should remember that while the build breathes well for a plush luxury mattress, the comfort loft is still substantial.
If you want a similarly plush luxury innerspring with a more buoyant lift, look at the Aireloom Luxetop M2 Plush. For a luxury pillow-top with a more mainstream feel, the Stearns & Foster Reserve Pillow Top Plush is a sensible comparison. If you want soft contouring with a more foam-forward character, Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-LuxeBreeze Soft is the clearest alternative.

Limitations

Plushness is the headline, and it is also the trade-off. If you sleep on your stomach or want a firmer, flatter surface, the top layers can let you sink too deeply. The tall profile is also a practical drawback: it is heavy, harder to rotate, and can feel high on lower bed frames. And if you like a quick, springy response, the thick quilt softens that sensation.
Vs. Alternatives
Why choose these models
-
You want a true luxury-plush feel with structured lift under the hips.
-
You prefer natural fibers and latex layers over a denser all-foam feel.
-
You value hand-tufting and strong edge support in a high-end build.
Alternatives to consider
-
Aireloom Luxetop M2 Plush: plush luxury innerspring with a more buoyant, airflow-forward feel.
-
Vispring Regal Superb: handmade pocket-spring luxury with a more classic natural-fill approach.
-
Stearns & Foster Reserve Pillow Top Plush: luxury pillow-top comfort with a more mainstream retail footprint.
Pro Tips
-
Use deep-pocket sheets. The tall profile is unforgiving with shallow fitted sheets.
-
Rotate it with a partner every few months. This is not a light mattress.
-
Use a breathable protector if you want to preserve the feel without trapping extra heat.
-
If you sleep warm, start by changing bedding before trying to change the feel with a topper.
-
For side sleeping, a slightly higher-loft pillow can help keep your neck level as the shoulder sinks in.
-
For back sleeping, a small knee pillow can take some pull off the low back on tighter mornings.
-
If you use an adjustable base, start with mild elevation. Extreme angles can exaggerate plush sink.
-
Give it a little time. Plush luxury builds often feel more natural after your posture adjusts to them.
FAQs
Does a plush mattress like this sleep hot?
It is more breathable than many ultra-plush foam beds, but the comfort loft is still thick. If you run warm, hot-sleeper basics like breathable sheets and a thin protector matter almost as much as the mattress itself.
Is it supportive enough for back discomfort?
For back and side sleeping, the support core does a good job keeping the midsection from dropping too far. If you are a stomach sleeper with low-back sensitivity, the plush top can move in the wrong direction, which is why this is not my first pick for back-pain shoppers.
How is it for couples and motion isolation?
It dampens movement well for an innerspring. You will still notice a partner getting in and out of bed, but it comes through as a soft ripple rather than a sharp shake, which is why it lands well for people prioritizing motion isolation.
