Joybed Mattress Review
JoyBed has been making mattresses in the USA for decades. As veterans in mattress manufacturing it is no surprise that they are pioneers in their industry and launched one of the only 100% organic, environmentally friendly, chemical free mattresses. Made from vegan-friendly material that is sourced from ethical suppliers, the JoyBed is a hybrid mattress that has absolutely no foam and is made from materials that are completely organic. The JoyBed is the ideal option for eco-conscious consumers. Best of all, there are three unique JoyBed mattresses to choose from: the affordable 11” Luxury Firm (LX) option, the All Cotton Medium (LXC) option, and the 13” Luxury Plush (LXP) model.

Delivery and Setup
Joybed mattresses are delivered free via ground shipment in the USA. The mattress comes compressed in a box within 3-5 days of placing your order.
Once your JoyBed mattress arrives all you have to do is take it out of the box, place it where you want your bed to be, take off the plastic and allow it to inflate. Within a few minutes the mattress will have inflated to 90% of its full size and it takes a full day to reach 100% fullness.
There may be a slight odor when you remove the plastic but there is no chemical off-gassing because the JoyBed mattress is 100% organic and there are no synthetic materials whatsoever.
JoyBed does also offer a white glove delivery and mattress removal service for an extra $150.

Joybed Mattress Construction
The materials are what make a JoyBed mattress unique. They are 100% natural and made from sustainable cotton and wool. This doesn’t just make the mattresses comfortable and give them a luxurious feel, it makes them extremely durable too. There is not one bit of foam in these eco-friendly mattresses. The compacted cotton or wool creates a dense layer that is thick, soft, and comfortable on top of the coil base. This is a great combination that gives the JoyBed mattresses that universal comfort feel.
Joybed LX Mattress
This 11” JoyBed mattress is the firmest of the range. A pocketed coil system compliments the compacted cotton and wool layers and the mattress is finished off with a brushed cotton cover that is completely organic.
The LX mattress is perfect for people who sleep on their back or stomach but it may be a little too firm for side-sleepers as there may not be enough contouring for their shoulders and hips. The LXC and LXP models are a better option for side-sleepers, or you can add a wool or vegan cotton topper to achieve the softness needed.
The JoyBed LXC Mattress
There are no animal or animal by-products in the materials used for this 12” JoyBed mattress. This makes it an ideal bed for vegans. The same pocketed coil system is used as with the JoyBed LX but only compacted plant and cotton fibres are used to create the comfort layer. It can be upgraded with a vegan topper if you’re looking for a softer feel.
The LXC has two comfort options – Medium-Firm and Medium-Plush.Stomach and back sleepers will prefer the Medium-Firm and the Medium-Plush is perfect for people who sleep on their sides or in a combination of positions.
JoyBed LXP Mattress
The LXP JoyBed mattress is the thickest of the range. It costs a little more than the other but is worth every cent. The mattress is essentially the same as the other JoyBed mattresses except it has additional layers of compacted wool and cotton. It also has a coil system that uses nano coils which are zoned to provide extra support and pressure relief.
The LXP model also comes in two comfort feels. The Medium-Plush being ideal for side sleepers and the Medium-Firm for back and stomach sleepers. The LXP Medium-Firm is also great for people who are o the heavier side.
The cotton used is all sourced in the USA. Cotton is soft, breathable and naturally hypoallergenic. This helps keep temperatures even and ensures that you sleep in a comfortable and clean environment.Covers are all made with GOTS Certified cotton which means that it is completely organic and not mixed with any man-made materials.
The wool used is also all sourced in the USA, from California and Oregon to be precise. This eco-wool has anti-microbial and moisture-wicking properties which regulates temperature and helps you sleep deeply. All our wool is certified and undergoes toxicology testing at UC Davis.
An all-natural plant fiber layer was added to the design to meet federal fire safety certifications. It is made from potato plants which has flame-resistant properties, is breathable, and chemical-free. This layer adds to the overall comfort of the JoyBed mattresses as well as keeping you safe.
The combination of these organic and chemical-free materials creates a surface that is firm and soft, and gives the JoyBed that luxurious feel.
Comfort & Feel
My Thoughts (Ross)
Joybed LX Mattress:
This mattress has a universal medium-firm feel that is ideal for stomach and back sleepers as it is the firmest of the collection. It is, however, still comfortable enough to be suitable for most sleepers, no matter which position they sleep in. Even though it is the JovBed mattress with the thinnest profile, it is the firmest mattress of them all.
JoyBed LXC Mattress:
This mattress also has a medium-firm universal feel but it is slightly thicker than the JoyBed LX. This makes it slightly softer. You can also upgrade this model of the JoyBed Mattress to add a pillowy cotton 4” vegan topper which enhances the overall comfort level and feel of the mattress to one of plush luxury
Joybed LXP Mattress:
This mattress is ideal for sleepers looking for a more luxurious option. The JoyBed LXP has two comfort feels, a medium firm feel and the medium plush feel. This gives sleepers the choice of having a firmer option and softer option depending on their personal preference.
The LXP is perfect for people who sleep in a combination of positions due to the responsiveness of the mattress. Back sleepers also love it because it keeps aches and pains at bay by relieving pressure from your lower back. It is also popular with heavier stomach sleepers because there is no pressure build up under the hips and minimal sinking.
When It comes to responsiveness, the JoyBed mattresses are highly responsive because of the coil system. You definitely won’t be feeling stuck like one can with a memory foam mattress.
Joybed Mattress Foundation
The Sedona mattress will work on any solid surface. A wood foundation, boxspring, slats, or the floor.
If you want to use the Sedona Mattress on an adjustable base you will want to order the 11.5″ instead of the 14.5″
Temperature:
All the materials used to make JoyBed mattresses are not only 100% natural, but also completely and consistently, temperature neutral. The individually wrapped coil system provides air flow and the cotton fabric is naturally breathable. The JoyBed LX and LXP models boast a moisture wicking wool and temperature regulating. All the materials that make up the JoyBed range are specifically selected to ensure a comfortable and restful sleep.
Motion Transfer:
The entire range of JoyBed mattresses perform really well when it comes to motion isolation. The pocketed coils provide precision support and buoyancy without any movement rippling through the mattress. In addition to making the JoyBed mattress superbly cosy, the cotton and wool fabrics also absorb movement to minimize motion transfer. There is a little more motion transfer than a standard hybrid mattress but this will only prove problematic is you have a sleeping partner that moves excessively in their sleep.
Edge Support:
A mattress with a solid edge is essential for a peaceful night’s sleep. It also makes getting in and out of bed easier and adds to the longevity of the mattress. The JoyBed mattress has a consistent feel across the surface because of the sturdy edge support. The solid bas coil system also contributes to the excellent edge support of these mattresses.
For Edge Support the Joy Bed gets a solid 10/10
Adjustable Base Performance:
We tested the Saatva in the 14.5″ thickness. But they have recently slimmed down an option that will work great on the adjustable bases should you want to try one or already own one.

Customer Reviews
The customer reviews for the JoyBed mattresses are, bar one or two minor complaints, outstanding. People seem to be really excited about the fact that there is finally an environmentally friendly mattress on the market. It seems it is long overdue. Here are some of the reviews from people who have purchased the Joy Bed mattress.
Martha S. had this to say,
“I was a bit sceptical about the mattress being temperature neutral and not specifically dissipating heat as I get really hot when I sleep. I have been pleasantly surprised as I am sleeping comfortably and not sleeping restlessly because I get too hot anymore. It is also really soothing knowing that I am spending 8 hours a day on a mattress that is free of any chemicals and synthetic materials.”
Gina B. added this,
“As a vegan I was thrilled to discover the JoyBed range of mattresses. I naturally went for the JoyBed LXC model as there are absolutely no animal or animal by-products used. I can’t tell you how much more peacefully I sleep knowing this. After the 30 day break-in period I was concerned about the thickness of the mattress and worried that the coils may become an issue over time. I decided to follow the advice of the agent at JoyBed and add an extra topper. It worked a treat and I know I am going to have many years of blissful night’s sleep on my JoyBed.”
John R. goes on,
“I love it that a completely natural, 100% organic mattress that reduces my carbon footprint is SO comfortable and didn’t cost me an arm and a leg! I’m a side sleeper so studied the specifications very closely before choosing which of the JoyBed mattresses I wanted. I am not disappointed at all. Expectations met 100%. The only issue I had was a slight delay in delivery time.”
Älison A. concludes,
“Finally my mother-in-law has stopped complaining about the bed in the guest room! She’s a bit of a fuss-pot so we were concerned that buying this unique new completely foam-free mattress was risky. Well, it passed the mother-in-law test last weekend. Not only did she say she slept really well, she was really impressed with the quality and plushness of the mattress and amazed that it was made from 100% natural materials.”
As far as the reviewers are concerned, the JoyBed mattresses are excellent buys. The fact that they are made from 100% natural products seems to be a major factor in choosing a JoyBed mattress. They definitely have a winner with this innovative new mattress.

The All Cotton Medium(LXC) option ranges between $790 and $1490 with the popular Queen size costing $1,190. The top of the range Luxury Plush (LXP) price range is from $890 to $1690 with the Queen size priced at $1290.
