Pros
Cons
Founded in San Francisco in 2007, Keetsa has been refining mattress designs for nearly 20 years. The Keetsa Pillow Plus Mattress is a hybrid model that feels remarkably soft and adaptive for a hybrid.
The Pillow Plus has a medium firm (6) firmness level, which makes it appealing to a wide range of sleepers — side and back sleepers in particular. This mattress excels at relieving pressure and isolating motion through the use of memory foam, while also providing the sturdy support that comes with pocketed coils.
We put the Keetsa Pillow Plus Mattress to the test in our Seattle-based lab and sent it home with multiple members of our testing team. Read on to see how this mattress stacked up and whether or not it might be a good fit for your needs.

Answer a few questions to find the right mattress for your unique needs
To test the Keetsa Pillow Plus, we had three people on our testing team each take the bed home with them for one week. Here are their initial observations.

“On the Keetsa Pillow Plus, I felt perfectly supported and comfortable. The plusher feel also meant my partner and I didn’t feel each other’s movements.”

“Lying on my back or my side felt most comfortable, but stomach sleeping was fine, too. I liked how well the Keetsa Pillow Plus relieved pressure. My joints felt great.”

“I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Keetsa Pillow Plus gives a bit of the ‘hug’ sensation more commonly associated with all-foam mattresses, while still being able to support me all night long.”

Sleeper Type
The Keetsa Pillow Plus is an ideal mattress for many side sleepers. Its pocketed coil support core provides necessary support, while the foam comfort system allows the hips and shoulders to sink into the bed a little bit. As a result, the spine remains aligned and pressure buildup is minimal while you sleep on your side.
While all side sleepers tend to find some comfort on the Keetsa Pillow Plus, those weighing at least 130 pounds report the highest satisfaction scores. Sleepers under 130 pounds may prefer a softer mattress.
Back sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds generally feel well-supported on the Keetsa Pillow Plus. The bed’s medium firm (6) feel provides the level of support back sleepers need to prevent their midsection from sinking too deeply into the mattress. At the same time, the mattress feels softer than many hybrids with similar firmness levels, allowing back sleepers to enjoy a slight “hug” from the memory foam.
Our testing found that the Pillow Plus is comfortable for some back sleepers weighing over 230 pounds, but most in this weight group will prefer a firmer mattress.
Stomach sleepers generally require the firmest mattresses to feel comfortable, and our tests for the Keetsa Pillow Plus reflect this trend. Side sleepers under 130 pounds found the mattress most comfortable. While stomach sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds found the mattress acceptable, most testers in this range said they would prefer a bed that didn’t feel quite so soft.
Stomach sleepers weighing over 230 pounds should keep shopping. The Pillow Plus feels too soft for this group, and they are likely to sink too deeply and experience lower back strain.
In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.

The Keetsa Pillow Plus is a medium-firm (6) pillow-top hybrid mattress with an 11-inch profile.
The cover is a quilted cotton blend that contains a fiberglass-free carbon rayon fire barrier. The top comfort layer of the mattress consists of fiber fill, which is quilted into the cover for extra plushness.
Beneath the quilted cover and fire barrier sits a memory foam comfort layer. This layer conforms to the body, giving the mattress a softer feel. Beneath the memory foam layer is a polyfoam comfort layer that helps relieve pressure. High-density transitional polyfoam adds extra cushioning while creating a buffer between your body and the pocketed coil support core.
