Kluft Imperial Luxetop Plush Mattress Reviews (2026)

Yes—if a distinctly soft, hand-tufted mattress is the goal. The Imperial Luxetop Plush cushions the body more deeply than a conventional pillow top, but its latex, microcoils, nested support coils, and reinforced edge keep that softness controlled. Side sleepers get the clearest benefit because the shoulder and hip can settle without leaving the waist unsupported. Back sleepers who enjoy a soft bed can also be comfortable, but stomach sleepers are likely to sink too far through the midsection.

Who it is best for

• Side sleepers who want substantial cushioning at the shoulders and hips without a foam-heavy feel

• Combination sleepers who prefer a soft surface but still need enough lift to change positions comfortably

• Couples who want dependable edge space and well-controlled partner movement

Who should skip it

• Dedicated stomach sleepers who need a firmer, flatter surface

• Shoppers who prefer an extra-firm bed or an immediate, springy response

• Anyone who does not want the cost, weight, and sheet-fit demands of a 15.5-inch luxury mattress

The mattress stayed in use for 30 nights, with most sleep time split between back and side positions. Longer reading and laptop sessions added sustained load to the same areas that usually soften first. The checks followed our mattress testing process: Mia concentrated on shoulder and hip comfort during extended side-sleeping sessions, while Jenna and Ethan handled shared overnights and partner-movement checks. Support, cooling, pressure relief, motion control, responsiveness, edge stability, and short-term durability were all scored on the same 5-point scale.

The feel was unmistakably plush from the first night. We rated it 4 out of 10 for firmness, with 10 being the firmest, and a 44-pound weight settled 2.4 inches into the comfort layers. That depth was noticeable at the shoulder and hip, yet the waist did not feel suspended above the bed. On the back, the top conformed closely without letting the pelvis drift far enough to create a bowed lower-back position.

The perimeter was a clear strength. With a 200-pound test load, compression measured 2.9 inches two inches from the edge versus 3.5 inches at the center. Sitting to put on shoes felt secure, and sleeping near the side did not create a strong roll-off sensation. After the load was removed, the surface recovered 90% of its height in 1.8 seconds. That is quick for such a plush mattress, though the thick tufted layers still soften the sharp bounce found on firmer innersprings.

Heat buildup stayed moderate rather than disappearing entirely. After 30 minutes of contact, the surface temperature had risen 6.4°F; ten minutes after getting up, it was within 1.3°F of the starting temperature. The natural fibers, latex, and open spaces around the microcoils shed heat better than a similarly thick all-foam bed, but warm sleepers still feel surrounded by a substantial comfort package.

During shared overnights, rolling over produced a gentle ripple rather than a sudden shake. Getting out of bed was more noticeable, especially near the edge, but the movement settled quickly. The result is a useful middle ground for couples: calmer than a lively traditional innerspring, yet easier to move across than slow, deeply conforming memory foam.

What we liked

• Deep shoulder and hip cushioning with enough underlying structure to keep the body level

• Strong perimeter support that preserves usable space for sitting and sleeping near the edge

• Faster recovery and easier repositioning than its thick, plush surface suggests

Who it is best for

• Side and combination sleepers who actively want a soft, high-loft mattress

• Couples who need a stable edge and controlled, though not foam-level, motion isolation

• Shoppers who prefer the breathability and spring of natural fibers, latex, and coils over dense foam

Where it falls short

• Its deep surface compression is a poor fit for most stomach sleepers

• The 159-pound queen is difficult to rotate, lift, or dress without help

• The tufted comfort package mutes bounce, so it will not satisfy shoppers who want a firm, brisk response

• Comfort layers: Luxury-firm and slow-recovery TerraPur latex, luxury wool, 19-gauge microcoils, plush slow-recovery visco foam, and horsehair.

Choose the Imperial Luxetop Plush if you want deep cushioning, sleep mainly on your side, and still expect a stable edge and steady support under the pelvis. Side sleepers get the clearest benefit, while combination sleepers who spend part of the night on their back also get along with it, provided they genuinely prefer a soft bed. Stomach sleepers, heavier sleepers who carry more weight through the midsection, and anyone who equates support with a flat, firm surface should choose a firmer model.

Plan around the size as carefully as the feel. At 15.5 inches tall and 159 pounds in queen, it needs deep-pocket sheets, a properly supported base, and two people for rotation. It is sold through specialty retailers, so price, delivery, setup, and comfort-exchange terms vary. Confirm those policies in writing before ordering.

Among other luxury choices, the Aireloom Luxetop M2 Plush feels more buoyant under a similarly soft top. The Stearns & Foster Reserve Pillow Top Soft delivers an extremely soft, more conventional retail pillow-top experience. The TEMPUR-LuxeBreeze Soft contours more slowly, absorbs more movement, and feels distinctly foam-forward.

The softness is deliberate, not subtle. Stomach sleepers and people who need a flat surface for pelvic support are likely to sink too deeply. The tall profile also changes the practical setup: the bed can sit unusually high on a standard foundation, shallow fitted sheets will not stay in place, and the 159-pound queen is awkward to rotate. The natural fibers and microcoils help with heat release, but the body still settles into a thick comfort package. Finally, the tufting softens the latex-and-coil rebound, so the response is controlled rather than lively.

The Imperial Luxetop Plush makes the strongest case for itself when you want deep pressure relief, natural fibers, latex, and a stable edge in one exceptionally plush build. Its mix of close cushioning and underlying lift is difficult to copy, but the alternatives below make more sense for shoppers with different priorities.

Why choose the Kluft

• You want a distinctly plush mattress that still supports the pelvis during side and back sleep.

• You prefer wool, alpaca, latex, microcoils, and horsehair over a comfort system dominated by polyurethane foam.

• You value hand tufting, a secure perimeter, and a tall, substantial build.

Alternatives to consider

Aireloom Luxetop M2 Plush is the better choice if you want a luxury-plush innerspring with a livelier, more buoyant surface. It still uses latex and microcoils, but its feel favors lift over the Kluft’s deeper, more settled cradle.

Vispring Regal Superb takes a more traditional route with a single layer of hand-nested pocket springs, selectable spring tensions, and natural wool, cotton, and horsehair upholstery. It is thinner and less enveloping than the Kluft, making it a stronger fit for shoppers who want bespoke tension and classic spring response.

Stearns & Foster Reserve Pillow Top Soft provides a very soft pillow-top feel through a broader conventional retail network. It is easier to compare in person, but it does not offer the same natural-fiber emphasis or hand-nested support structure as the Kluft.

TEMPUR-LuxeBreeze Soft is the clear alternative for shoppers who want slow, close contouring and stronger motion absorption. Its 13-inch all-foam construction feels less buoyant and less breathable in character, even with its dedicated cooling materials, but it creates a steadier, more enveloping surface for light sleepers sharing a bed.

• Use deep-pocket fitted sheets designed for a 15.5-inch mattress, with extra room if you add a protector.

• Rotate the mattress with a second person rather than trying to move the 159-pound queen alone.

• Choose a thin, breathable protector so the plush surface can conform without unnecessary heat or stiffness.

• Warm sleepers should start with breathable sheets and a light comforter before adding a topper or changing the mattress feel.

• For side sleeping, a moderately high-loft pillow may work best because the shoulder settles farther into this mattress.

• Back sleepers can use a small pillow beneath the knees if that position reduces tension through the lower back.

• On an adjustable base, begin with mild head and foot elevation; sharp angles can make the plush top feel more folded around the body.

• Check the retailer’s delivery, setup, comfort-exchange, and foundation requirements before purchase because these terms vary by seller.
