What our reviewers found

Pros

  • Hypnos six-turn pocket springs, made by hand in the UK.
  • Extra firm support for heavier back and front sleepers.
  • Recycled fibre fillings.
  • Bespoke sizes available.

Cons

  • Extra firm suits few sleepers.
  • One-sided, so it can't be turned.
  • 1000 springs is light for a king.
  • Exclusive to a pricey shop, so the price is hard to compare.

Hypnos builds the Bespoke Amber Mattress for Furniture Village, and it's a good Hypnos build for one kind of sleeper: a heavier back sleeper who wants extra firm. Everyone else should leave it. Extra firm is a specialist feel, and it's one-sided, so the side you get is the side you keep.

Hypnos springs, recycled fibres, made by hand

Inside are 1000 ReActive six-turn pocket springs in a king, with sustainable recycled fibres for the fillings. Hypnos makes it by hand in the UK, exclusively for Furniture Village. It's 23cm deep, no-turn and rated extra firm, and bespoke sizes are available on request.

I rate Hypnos: well made and fair for the money. Six-turn springs have more coils than the usual pocket spring, which gives a slightly more progressive push-back. The 1000 count is light for a king, and 23cm is on the shallow side, so this is a firm, lean build rather than a deep one.

Heavy back sleepers only, and check the price first

Owners mostly love it, calling it well made and comfortable. The one-star ratings come with no text at all, so there's nothing in them to weigh. If you're heavy and sleep on your back or front, the extra firm surface and Hypnos springs are a good combination. Avoid it if you sleep on your side or you're lighter; it will feel like a plank.

Check the price before you buy. Furniture Village is a pricey shop, and an exclusive name makes direct comparison hard, so compare it against Hypnos models of a similar spec sold elsewhere.

What to buy instead

For most people, a medium-firm Hypnos pocket-sprung mattress is the better buy from the same maker. If extra firm is what you need on a smaller budget, the Highgrove Solar Orthopocket 1500 is turnable and pocket sprung, with handles.

Suitability

  • Back Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • The amount of support offered from a mattress will vary depending on the firmness of the tension and the type of support layer used. Based on a person of average build.
  • Side Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • If you sleep on your side you typically need a supportive tension that is not too firm, nor too soft. This is because your hips and shoulders need adequate sinkage.
  • Stomach Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Stomach sleepers need a reasonable amount of tension in the base support layer to adequately offer body contouring and help prevent aches and pains. Results will vary based on your build.

Performance

  • Breathability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials like memory foam can make it difficult to move about on the mattress while you toss and turn. Same too for pillow tops which can create a cloud like sensation which can make manoeuvrability challenging.
  • Stability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Depending on the type of support layer in place can have an impact on stability, edge to edge support and roll together prevention. Pocket springs of a firmer tension will have better stability than open coil soft tension, for example.

Odour

  • Initial Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Materials in mattresses, particularly memory foam and rolled bed-in-a-box mattresses can have an initial odour, this is typically short term and reduces considerably within 24 hours.
  • Long Standing Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials inside different mattresses can produce a small odour. Typically this is short term rather than long standing but there are minor exceptions.

Brand Rating

Questions and answers about the Bespoke Amber Mattress

Common questions answered by our team first, then questions shoppers asked the retailer, with the retailer’s own answers.

Common question
Can I get the Bespoke Amber in a custom size?

Answer: Yes. Furniture Village lists all standard sizes, from single to super king, and says bespoke sizes are available by phone. That's useful for antique frames, campervans or awkward alcoves. Expect a longer wait and check the returns terms, because made-to-measure mattresses often can't be sent back. Ask Furniture Village how long the wait is first.

Common question
Is the Hypnos Bespoke Amber too firm for side sleepers?

Answer: For most side sleepers, yes. It's rated extra firm, so a side sleeper's shoulder and hip stay up on the surface instead of settling in, and that pressure is what wakes you. It suits heavier back and front sleepers who want a hard, flat surface. If you sleep on your side, choose a medium or medium-firm mattress with a deeper comfort layer.

Common question
What are six-turn pocket springs?

Answer: A six-turn spring has six coils from top to bottom, more than many standard pocket springs. More turns let the spring compress more gradually, so it gives a progressive feel: gentle at first, firmer as you press harder. In the Bespoke Amber, Hypnos uses 1000 of these ReActive six-turn springs in a king size.
