What our reviewers found

Pros

It doesn't get much more premium than this, and with a 10 year guarantee, you know the manufacturer trusts their build process.

Established brand that we love with good support. Most owners are happy with it, mainly for the comfort. One wrote "No aches or pains in the morning just a good night's sleep".

Great for back sleepers but side sleepers may want to consider one of the softer tensions in the range.

Cons

Price point may prove out of reach for many.

Premium mattress but a premium price tag to match, rarely comes on offer.

Are you in the market for a natural pocket sprung mattress that is both comfortable and luxurious? Look no further than the Hypnos Luxurious Earth 04 Mattress. This mattress is part of a larger range of Luxurious Earth branded mattresses and this particular model proves perfect if you want a firmer mattress that offers superior body support and durability. This mattress is made with organic wool for breathability and temperature regulation, ensuring that you get a great night's sleep.

The base layer in this product is the popular pocket spring support, found frequently in premium mattresses and one of our personal favourites. The support works better than competing options, including reflex foam and open coil. This spring system is wound in a firmer than average tension, which has a few benefits over softer products.

One of the biggest benefits of a firmer tension in pocket spring design is the support it offers. A firmer mattress helps relieve pressure points in the body. Firmer mattresses tend to last longer than softer mattresses. This is because the material is denser and more durable, meaning it can support your body for a longer period of time while “fighting” against it, proving to be reactive and offering great pressure relief. Another benefit of this base layer is alignment. The listing says the ReActivePro 9-turn pocket springs aid natural spinal alignment and pressure relief.

It's not all good news however, a firmer tension is suitable for specific people like those who sleep primarily on their back, along with those of a higher BMI than average. For some, the tension in the Luxurious Earth 04 may not be as comfortable as a softer product from the same range. 

The comfort layer is made predominantly of organic materials, focussing mainly on deep and luxurious helpings of organic wool. This organic wool has a number of benefits and is a great material to have in a mattress for a number of reasons. First, it is incredibly breathable, meaning that it can help keep you cool at night by allowing air to pass through it. Organic wool is naturally anti-microbial and hypoallergenic. This organic wool, endorsed by the Eden Project, is also incredibly durable meaning that it can stand up to considerable wear and tear, so your mattress will last you many years. Finally, organic wool is also temperature regulating which makes it an ideal layer for those who desire an all-season mattress that won't be too hot, nor too cold.

Owners mostly rate it for comfort and say they sleep better on it. One wrote “Never had such a good nights sleep as we get now”, and another said it has “a good combination of support and softness but not sogginess at all”. On back pain the reviews go both ways. One owner with back problems said it “gives the support I need to reduce back pain”, while another had “back ache since sleeping on it” and was sending it back. A few said it didn't feel like the one they tried in the showroom, and one couple reported it sagging within two weeks. The wool smells: one owner said it was faintly “farm fresh” and another said “the sheep smell is still there” after two months. It's heavy too, so expect it to “take 2 to turn it over”. Several of the unhappy owners bring up the price, one calling it “Not worthy of the very expensive price tag”.

Hypnos Beds is a UK-based mattress company that has been in business since 1904. They specialise in creating luxurious mattresses that are designed to offer superior comfort and support. Their mattresses are made with the finest materials, including high-quality pocket springs and organic materials. They also use natural latex in some of the range for added comfort and support.

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.

I was encouraged to buy a Hypnos mattress having slept on Hypnos before in various hotels over the years. I spend over 3,000 to get a good one with natural materials and good spring base plus double sided to allow for turns. Within 2 weeks it was sagging where my wife and I lay, we turned it and the opposite side also sagged. It's already as sagged as the 12 year old mattress I have just replaced. Very disappointing and now in a warranty / comfort guarantee process as it's already becoming less comfortable. In case you are thinking it's because of our weight, I am 6'5" tall and weigh 90kg / 14st. My wife if just 9.5 st. Really hope the mattress is replaced with a quality item I thought we had purchased which will give comfort for many years to come.

Absolutely love my Earth 04 HYPNOS MATTRESS. I have wanted a HYPNOS Mattress ever since sleeping on one in a Premier Inn a few years ago. I'm so so comfy, warm & relaxed. I have found that I get over to sleep so much quicker than I ever did in any other bed/mattress I have previously slept on. I was always tossing & turning and I was always so frustrated, through sheer lack of sleep. I never want another Brand Mattress ever Again. Only HYPNOS. 100% recommend HYPNOS!! "Goodnight, Sleep Well I know I will"

At last I have a comfortable mattress again. In spite of some pain from arthritic joints on moving first thing I feel refreshed in the morning. I'm sleeping better and back and knee pain reduced once I get going. It's got a good combination of support and softness but not sogginess at all. Brilliant I'm glad I was encouraged to take my time to choose the right bed in Bensons

Unfortunately this mattress is not for me. I am returning it with the 40 night guarantee. To start with I wasn't expecting the ridge in the middle after sleeping for one night, you have to flip it every week for three months to stop the indentations. Its a very heavy mattress so we struggled. I have had back ache since sleeping on it and waking up many times every night.

Nice mattress, a little firmer than my old one which was plush BUT that being said it's super supportive and I no longer wake up with a stiff back. It does smell faintly 'farm fresh' but I guess that is a testament to the organic, chemical free nature of it. Happy with the purchase.

When collecting the mattress, we were given the incorrect mattress. Due to hiring a van, we had to return back to the warehouse, incurring an additional 15 charge for the van usage. I want this refunded to us

No bad. Better than our previous mattress. We were looking for similar to what Premier Inn used but although assured that the one we purchased was superior to what hey used, found it not as comfortable

Not as supportive as expected. Gave me and my wife bad backs everytime we slept on it. We had to return and upgrade to the Earth 05 in a firm. Service at Bensons Broadstairs was excellent though.

Seriously comfortable. You feel like you sink into it whilst still having, in our opinion, a 'firm' mattress level of support. We bought the 'medium', having always had a 'firm' mattress before and liking them and the support they give. The Hypnos 4 medium, supports us as mostly 'side sleepers', whilst also being great when sleeping on your back or front. We like the lack of memory foam as it is a very 'cool' sleeping experience and this mattress is of a more traditional design which appeals. Build in us as being in our early 50s and the various challenges this brings such as painful joints, menopause etc, and this mattress genuinely addresses all our needs when wanting to feel relaxed and able to sleep in real comfort. Ultimately, it's seriously comfortable and in our opinion absolutely worth the money.

Have thought about investing in a really good mattress for a while, but have only just done it. I'm not disappointed at all. It's so comfortable. The most amazing part of this experience was how easily it was to arrange delivery and installation. The team were so helpful, even those were awkward.
