Otty

Otty is a British brand that started in 2016 and has grown quickly into one of the most recognised hybrid mattress names on the UK market. The company is based in Leeds and sells direct to the customer, cutting out the middle man in the traditional bed retail chain and passing the savings on in the form of long trial periods and sensible prices.

Their hybrid lineup pairs cooling gel infused memory foam with individually encased pocket springs, and it is the hybrid build that Otty is best known for. Most mattresses ship vacuum packed in a box, and buyers get a 100 night home trial along with a 10 year guarantee.

Eve

Eve Sleep emerged in 2014 as a prominent online retailer specialising in mattresses and sleep accessories. The company gained recognition for its clever approach to mattress design and marketing, offering a range of products aimed at improving sleep quality. In 2022, Eve Sleep was acquired by Bensons for Beds, further solidifying its position in the sleep products market.

Eve Sleep's product lineup includes various mattress types, such as memory foam and hybrid models, catering to diverse sleep preferences. In particular, the company introduced the "Wunderflip" mattress, designed to offer two levels of firmness by simply flipping it over, allowing users to customise their sleep experience.  Eve Sleep provides a 200-night trial period, enabling customers to thoroughly test their mattresses.

Otty owner satisfaction

Plenty of owners write about support, often with a bad back behind the purchase. "Back ache stopped immediately", one wrote, and another found it "firm but really supportive" and "Great for my bad back." Couples mostly say partner movement barely registers: "I never get disturbed by my wife when she moves around anymore".

Complaints about the mattress itself mostly come down to firmness. Some owners found it harder than they bargained for ("it is very very firm" and "It seems firmer than I expected"), and the hot-sleeper verdict splits, from "as a hot sleeper I find it very breathable" to "I’ve felt rather hot during the night." Edge support splits the same way: one owner wrote "Decent edge support too, much better than of the Emma one." while another's husband "feels like he’s rolling towards the edge of it." Many owners praise a fast delivery, but the sharpest gripes are about couriers rather than the mattress. One owner had the pick-up and delivery go out of sync twice. Another wrote that "Otty had delivery problems with their previous couriers who did not deliver" and still called the customer service "excellent".

Otty supportiveness

The Otty Original Hybrid uses a top layer of cooling gel memory foam over a reflex foam transition layer and a core of pocket springs. Each spring moves independently, which is why the mattress copes well with two people of different weights sleeping side by side. The foam layers add enough pressure relief for the shoulders and hips, and the spring core keeps the lower back properly supported without letting anyone sink into a hammock shape.

For heavier sleepers over about 15 stone, Otty makes the Firm Hybrid, a flippable mattress rated 9/10 for firmness on one side and 10/10 on the other. Support comes up again and again in the reviews. One owner wrote: "I feel much better supported at hips and shoulders when I'm sleeping".

Otty durability

Otty uses a high gauge spring unit and good quality foams above it, which is the right recipe for a mattress that holds its shape over the long run. Most Otty covers are removable, and several are machine washable, which is unusual at this level of the market and helps the mattress stay fresh over the years.

Owners split on how it wears. One owner about two years in reported "absolutely no signs of sagging", while another found theirs "already dipping in the middle" after eighteen months. The 10 year guarantee gives a clear signal of how much life the brand expects out of its own product. Given the materials and the build, Otty mattresses are well positioned to last the seven to ten years that most buyers are looking for.

Eve owner satisfaction

Most owners are happy with their Eve, and the word that comes up again and again is comfortable. One owner wrote that it is “soo comfortable and the right firmness”. Another, a week or so in, said “it's super comfy now”. That settling-in period gets mentioned a fair bit, a few nights to a few weeks before the mattress feels right. A smaller group with bad backs say the pain has eased, one noting they “no longer wake up with back pain”.

Complaints are less common and tend to be specific. Some find it firmer than they expected. One wrote that it is “way too firm and has caused me back ache”. A few report early dipping: one owner on their third replacement described a mattress that “dipped at both sides”, and another said theirs “Dips in the middle and is unsupportive” within a fortnight. A few also gripe about the edges, from “sink in when sat on the edge” to “edges are so soft you nearly fall off”. Eve’s listings describe the foams as breathable, and the reviews split on heat: some owners report no overheating, while others find it “a lot warmer than our old mattress”.

Eve supportiveness

Eve Sleep mattresses are renowned for their exceptional support, attributed to the innovative use of high-quality foams and, in their hybrid models, full-sized pocket springs. The Original Hybrid Mattress, for instance, features over 800 individually wrapped 12 cm springs that respond to the body's movements, providing targeted pressure relief for the shoulders and hips. These springs are complemented by Eve's proprietary evecomfort® foam layer, which offers a springy feel to support key pressure points and maintain spinal alignment. This combination ensures a harmonious balance of support and body contouring, catering to various sleeping positions.

Eve durability

Eve Sleep mattresses feature polyester covers, known for their soft, stretchy, and breathable finish. This type of cover provides a reasonable level of durable protection, contributing to the overall longevity of the mattress. While the Eve lineup is relatively new, the bed-in-a-box mattress market has established a reputation for durability comparable to traditional mattresses. Considering that the average mattress lasts about 7 years, we have no concerns regarding the performance and durability of the current Eve lineup.

A great mattress. We looked at several of the leading hybrid mattresses on the market, and after a discussion with the sales person via chat on the website (as it was during lockdown), they were able to answer many of my questions clearly and exactly why Otty Mattress is a better product than its competitors. The delivery service and also the ease of ordering the product was great and most importantly we have had fantastic nights sleep since purchasing this mattress. Fantastic product and you wi...

Absolutely love my new mattress, I ordered the hybrid mattress and I have not been disappointed, the website was so easy and the payment plan was a dream, delivery was extremely quick even with all the delays due to the Coronavirus I ordered sunday and my mattress was delivered Wednesday morning, it was so easy to open and within 4 hours it was fully inflated. I could not recommend it more, it is so comfortable its alot firmer then my last memory form mattress which is what I wanted. The depth o...

Absolutely love my Otty matress, I went for the hybrid and I was not disappointed. I was hit by a car whilst pregnant and broke my tibia platueu so have since suffered with problems in both knees and my back so it was important to get a good nights sleep and rest well. The Otty matress has given me just that and my 18 month old son loves snoozing ontop of their pillows too. They offer a 100 day money back guarantee which I think is great, although personally I'd be pretty surprised if anyone wan...

Appalling customer service. Wasted a days annual leave waiting for my mattress, it arrived the following day. There was no communication and when I questioned it I was told that I was rude and they couldn?t do anything to help. I paid extra to have the mattress delivered to the room of my choice . On delivery the men refused to take it upstairs due to health and safety regulations. Again when I mentioned this to otty customer services they weren?t interested. Eventually I was told by the boss Da...

Bought two mattresses for two different bedrooms; one original hybrid and one aura hybrid mattress. Although advertised as levels of 7 and 6 firmness respectively, they are much firmer than expected; you barely sink into them! The aura hybrid was used by my partner and I (15 and 11 stone) and we still found it very firm that it gave us lower back pain. We trialed them for 6 weeks before giving up on them and when we tried to claim the 100-night trial that each mattress advertised, it turns out w...

These really are very good mattresses! One of my main concerns was the reports and even some of Eve's own documentation regarding the new smell / odour of the mattress as from experience things that give off an odour tend to make me feel unwell pretty quickly, this mattress does give off an odour but apart from a slight headache on the first night it really hasn't affected me since. No the smell does not entirely disappear after 48 hours as some say, but it does get progressively better, make sure to air the room well and regularly, also move on the mattress to get air to pass through it... hopefully if you give this mattress a chance like us you'll find it very comfortable and super supportive, if this mattress can keep delivering this level of comfort and support for 10 years it will be money well spent. It is an expensive mattress though and I would have like to see a bit more attention to a few areas, the mattress has a removable washable cover and that's fantastic, but it means the handles are located under the mattress which means lifting the rather heavy mattress to access the handles, there needs to be a better solution here. We find the mattress firmness just right but others who try it think it would be too hard for them. Overall if this mattress does last out the 10 year guarantee period then I'll have to remember to come back to this review and give it the full five stars for Quality and Value For Money but for now it's too expensive and too new to go that far.

I wrote the following review on November 18th 2020 two weeks after using my Eve Sleep Hybrid mattress. Everything I said then still applies and I love the mattress. Brilliant product and fantastic sleep every night. I have been getting up every morning for nearly a year with back pain. Knowing I wanted a new mattress, searched the internet looking at all sorts of different products with varying prices. I looked at various reviews, but none seemed conclusive, so signed up for Which. A good move because Eve Sleep was not on my list. The review for the Premium Hybrid Mattress was exceptional. I ordered online, and the process was incredibly simple. It could not be better. Notifications of delivery were brilliant, and I even got a call 30 minutes before the delivery arrival. The guys were so good and polite. The mattress comes in a box, and the instructions give all the information in a truly clear manner on how to unpack and install on the bed. I left the mattress for 24 hours before using, although this is not necessary. I knew after the first night sleeping on the mattress, it was without any doubt a brilliant purchase. I have now been sleeping on my Eve Mattress for two weeks, and it is fantastic. I look forward to going to bed and do not want to get up in the morning. The whole experience from beginning to end has been exceptional. It is very reassuring to know there are still companies that give a faultless service and have a product to match.

We bought the original hybrid mattress double after reading Which reviews, it turned out to be a on the firm side for us so we returned it after around 50 nights. The customer service, ordering, delivery and return process was excellent. We are both mostly side sleepers, I experienced hip pain/pressure during the night and had to change position often and my husband just felt that it was too firm for him. We were still a little tired through the day and put it down to our personal discomfort in the end, the mattress was supportive and we had no back pains in the morning. I had ordered a replacement mattress so that we weren't left without anything to sleep on and contacted eve to return the original hybrid once we had a delivery date. The return process was hassle free and very efficient, we found that we were able to give three dates for the return and add any comments. In hindsight, knowing that the return was so well organised, we would have trialled the mattress for longer to see if it softened up a little or we adjusted to it more as it would still have been easy enough to organise a replacement if it was needed. I was just worried that our trial period would run out before we could get anything sorted but the process was much quicker than I thought. We have still to find the perfect mattress for us and do regret the return without persevering a little longer as the replacment that we did order is terrible.
