The Suttons Bay Comfort Plush
The Suttons Bay Plush (often called a “Comfort Plush”) is the softer sibling to Suttons Bay Cushion Firm. It’s built for sleepers who like to sink in a bit more at the surface while still getting the long-term durability and support that come from Capitol’s heavier-density foams and encapsulated coil system. Think of it as a “grown-up plush”: cushioned and more conforming on top, without the bottomless, mushy feel you get from many mass-market plush beds. The Suttons Bay Comfort Plush is one of our most popular beds for a reason.
Feel & best For
-
Overall feel: medium-plush — softer and more conforming on top, with a supportive coil core underneath.
-
Best for: side and combo sleepers who need extra relief at shoulders and hips, but still want the bed to push back and keep them aligned.
-
Also works for: lighter back sleepers who dislike firm beds but still want good support.
Key construction & materials
-
Quilted, breathable cover over a non-fiberglass fire barrier, similar in concept to the Cushion Firm (Milliken silica-based FR).
-
Plush comfort built from Capitol’s higher-density upholstery foams (1.8 lb and above) to resist body impressions and breakdown better than the 1.0–1.5 lb foams used in many big-brand plush beds.
-
Wrapped / encapsulated coil support unit for contouring support, reduced motion transfer, and a more “even” feel across the surface.
-
High-density base foam platform to stabilize the coil unit and extend mattress life.

The Capitol Bedding Difference
For more than 50 years, Capitol Bedding has been crafting high-quality mattresses with a clear focus: durable, comfortable sleep that stands the test of time. Long before “no-flip” mattresses became the norm, Capitol committed to building one-sided designs using truly premium materials—especially high-density foams engineered to keep their feel and support for years, not just months.
That commitment led to the use of foams like P2536 (2.5 lb density, 36 ILD), P2560 (2.5 lb, 60 ILD), and P2426 (2.4 lb, 26 ILD), each chosen for a specific role in comfort and support. Instead of relying on the 1.0–1.5 lb foams commonly found in many mass-market mattresses, Capitol builds with 1.8 lb, 2.4 lb, and 2.5 lb foams that are designed to break down far more slowly and maintain their original feel much longer.
Key Benefits of Capitol’s High-Density Foam
-
High-Density Foam = Longer Life
Higher-density foams hold their shape and support significantly better over time than standard low-density foams, helping the mattress feel “new” for more years.
-
Purpose-Built Foam Types
-
P2536 (2.5 lb, 36 ILD): Focused on durability and everyday support.
-
P2560 (2.5 lb, 60 ILD): Firmer, more supportive feel for heavier use and stronger lumbar support.
-
P2426 (2.4 lb, 26 ILD): Softer, more cushioning comfort where pressure relief is needed.
-
Proven Firmness Retention
Over a 10-year span, Capitol’s typical foam choices retain firmness far better than commodity foams:
-
2.5 lb foam: about 8% firmness loss
-
2.4 lb foam: about 9% firmness loss
-
1.8 lb foam: about 20% firmness loss
Compare that to lower-density foams often used elsewhere:
-
1.2 lb foam: about 38% firmness loss
-
1.0 lb foam: about 42% firmness loss
-
Premium, U.S.-Made Materials
Capitol sources its foams from Future Foam, a leading family-owned U.S. producer of Flexible Polyurethane Foams (FPF), chosen for consistent quality, performance, and longevity.
While these premium materials cost more to build with, Capitol Bedding believes that better foam makes better mattresses—and better mattresses make for better sleep. The result is a line of products designed to feel supportive and comfortable for years, not just in the showroom, giving you a bed that truly earns its place in your home.
