What you need to know about the Origin Hybrid Mattress

A hybrid mattress combines a pocket-sprung mattress with a top layer of memory foam, latex, or gel. The idea is that this hybrid provides the stability and support of springs with the cushiony feeling and luxury of memory foam.

The Origin Hybrid Mattress is designed to deliver premium sleep at an affordable price. Designed by orthopaedics, the hybrid mattress features 6 layers and 3,000 springs for a pain-free sleep.

The top layer of the mattress features Origin’s SnowTencel fibre, which is meant to be super soft and cooling. It doesn’t pill. This layer is hypoallergenic and ultra-plush.

Origin’s signature HexaGrid Material, the second layer, is designed to keep the mattress snuggly and plush while relieving any pressure points. This layer is also infused with cooling particles to keep your temperature regulated all night for a cool and cosy sleep. The HexaGrid Material claims to provide enhanced back support while striking the balance between soft comfort and firmer support.

The third layer is IceCool Foam. This uses 100% natural latex, infused with a cooling gel, that provides gentle cushioning and buoyant support, which is supposed to be beneficial for sleepers with back and joint pain.

The fourth layer boasts bamboo-infused wool that’s supposed the ultimate in luxury, softness, and comfort. This hypoallergenic layer is designed to be breathable by absorbing and releasing moisture to keep you comfortable throughout the night.

The fifth layer is D-2 Edge Support, which is made from high-quality foam. Origin claims it’s 2 times denser than average foam, so it increases the comfort area of the mattress and makes it easier getting in and out of bed.

For the sixth layer, the mattress incorporates sturdy and durable ErgoCoil Steel springs that adjust their resistance based on the weight placed upon them for tailored pressure relief and ideal spinal alignment. Each spring compresses inwards, which is supposed to limit transfer of movement.

The prices for the Origin Hybrid Mattress are:

  • Single: £499
  • Small double: £529
  • Double: £619
  • King: £719
  • Super king: £819

Origin frequently offers incredible discounts on the mattresses too, including up to 40% off! Each mattress comes with a generous 15-year warranty and a 200-night money-back trial.

Honest Origin Hybrid Mattress review

After testing the Origin Hybrid Mattress for just under 2 weeks, here’s my honest review.

Unboxing and moving the mattress

The mattress arrived in a narrow, tall box. Inside, the mattress was neatly and tightly rolled up. However, the box is heavy. I would’ve struggled to move this myself, but thankfully McKenzie helped me move it. The slim shape made moving the box upstairs quite easy, as it wasn’t a cumbersome or awkward to manoeuvre.

The mattress came wrapped in a fair amount of plastic packaging, so it’s not the most eco-friendly. But my mattress was completely unscuffed and in pristine condition.

Unwrapping the mattress was so satisfying. We took a pair of scissors and cautiously sliced through the plastic, taking care not to damage the mattress, and it simply pinged out of its rolled shape onto the bed. It took under a minute for the mattress to decompress, which was handy.

Fortunately, the mattress comes with carry handles on the side, which makes manoeuvring it considerably easier, especially if you’re moving house. The mattress itself is surprisingly light. I got the king size, and it’s considerably lighter than my previous non-hybrid mattress.  

Comfort and performance

Now for the most important part of this Origin Hybrid Mattress review: Is it comfortable?

The answer is a resounding yes!

It was my first time trying a hybrid mattress, so I didn’t know what to expect. But I’m definitely a hybrid mattress convert now.  

The top of the mattress is super soft and cushiony. I sink in a little bit, as the material is very plush. However, the bottom layers of the mattress are firm, without being hard, so I still feel supported.

I’d read several reviews saying that this mattress is a bit too firm for side sleepers and is more suitable for front and back sleeps. I’m a side sleeper and find this incredibly comfortable! At no point have I experienced any pressure build-up or like the mattress is rigid.

As for temperature regulation, I’ve not noticed any difference to my previous mattress. I wouldn’t say the mattress makes me feel particularly cool, but it doesn’t make me feel hot either.

Overall, the quality of my sleep has improved, as I find the hybrid mattress relaxing, supportive, and plush.

Affordability

Mattresses vary a lot in price. This sits somewhere in the mid-range when there’s no sale. However, Origin frequently offers fantastic discounts on this mattress, which makes it more affordable.

For the quality and luxurious feel of this mattress, I can 100% say it’s worth the price – even without any discounts. You can’t put a price on a great night’s sleep!

The verdict

I love the Origin Hybrid Mattress. It’s soft, supportive, comfortable, high-quality, and has overall improved my sleep quality. I can’t fault it at all and genuinely look forward to sleeping every night since getting this new mattress!
