Jamison Clarion Ultra Plush Pillowtop Mattress

The honest verdict: the softest bed in the Clarion familyIf a firm mattress leaves your shoulder aching and you wake up rolling it out before coffee, the Jamison Clarion Ultra Plush Pillowtop is the one to lie on first. It is the softest model in the Clarion lineup, a deep quilted pillow-top staged around a 3 out of 10 for firmness, where 10 is firmest. Sit on the edge and you settle in at the shoulders and hips right away, the first impression that makes people say "oh, that one" before they have laid all the way back. Side sleepers, this is usually the Clarion that wins the in-person test.What it is made of, and what that does for youThe cushion is only half the story. A full layer of individually wrapped pocketed coils sits under the comfort foams, flexing where you press and holding firm everywhere else. That is what keeps a plush bed from turning into a hammock: cushion on top, no sag in the middle. Because each coil moves on its own, a partner turning over on the far side rarely pulls you out of a good stretch of sleep. The gel-infused comfort foam up top takes the edge off surface warmth, a welcome touch on a soft bed where you settle in deep. At fifteen inches tall it has a substantial profile, so measure it against your frame and deep-pocket sheets before delivery.Who it is not for, and we would rather say so nowIf you sleep on your back or stomach and want a flat, on-top-of-the-bed feel, this is not that bed and it will not become it. The firmer Clarion Firm (around 8 out of 10) or the true-medium Clarion Eurotop (around 5 out of 10) will serve you better. Want cushion without going all the way to a pillow-top? The Clarion Plush lands at a softer-side-of-medium 4 out of 10. You can feel all four side by side on one showroom floor.Why buy it from a Kentucky showroom instead of sight unseenJamison is a smaller regional maker, which keeps the comfort real and the price sensible, and it means the only honest way to know if the Ultra Plush is your feel is to lie on it.
