We found as side sleepers that we didn’t wake up with aching hips or numb arms and we did feel comprehensively supported. The edge-to-edge support was brilliant, with no tapering of support at the sides.

But those springs are super responsive and supportive. How comfortable were we?Īs soon as we sat on the our perfect mattress we were struck by how firm it was. The result should be a nice, cosy night sleep where we don’t wake up in a sweaty mess. This fabric is brilliant at helping air flow through the mattress – helping hot air escape and drawing in cooler air. The mattress is also covered in a neutral damask, Egyptian cotton ticking. However, it’s been chosen in this case as it’s hard wearing and therefore the lifespan of the mattress should be better.

Where mattresses are advertised as having many thousands of springs, this is where layers of micro-springs are placed over the top of the main pocket spring unit as comfort layers.” So, in actual fact, 1,500 springs is more than adequate.

HYPNOS BEDS AND MATTRESSES ZIP
Thankfully, Loaf has thought of this and allows you to zip two single our perfects together, each with a different tension. This all sounds rather simple, but if you and your partner have different ideas of what’s comfortable tension wise, it can impose a challenge when finding the right mattress for both of you.
