What our reviewers found

Pros

UK made with handcrafting and high quality materials.

Maximum suitability with the medium tension, proving suitable for back, side and stomach sleepers.

The ReActive springs perform even better than traditional pocket springs.

Cons

Consider the ortho models in the same range if you require additional support or suffer from neck/back pain.

Price point may alienate those who are on a budget.

If you're in the market for a new mattress, you may want to consider the Hypnos Wheatley Supreme Wool Mattress. This traditionally handcrafted mattress is made with the finest natural British fibres and has a number of features that make it a top choice for comfortable, supportive sleep. In this review, we'll take a closer look at what makes the Wheatley Supreme Wool Mattress stand out, including its ReActivePro™ 10-turn pocket springs, wool fleece comfort layer, and medium tension support. We'll also discuss who might appreciate this mattress and who may not be as thrilled with its medium firmness.

Who are Hypnos

Hypnos is a family-run company that has been perfecting the art of traditional craftsmanship for over a hundred years. Based in the UK, Hypnos is known for producing high-quality mattresses that are handmade by experts from start to finish. The company has even been awarded the Royal Warrant by King Charles III, a prestigious accolade that recognises the company's commitment to excellence.

What's inside it?

The Hypnos Wheatley Supreme Wool Mattress is made with a number of materials and features that work together to provide a comfortable and supportive sleep experience. Here is a list of what is inside this mattress:

1800 ReActivePro™ 10-turn pocket springs: These extra deep pocket springs are dual heat treated to keep their full height for longer and work individually to distribute your body weight evenly across the mattress surface.

Wool fleece comfort layer: The Wheatley Supreme Wool Mattress features a plush comfort layer made up of seven of the finest British wool fleeces. Every fibre of wool used in this mattress can be traced to its original source through Hypnos' affiliation with Red Tractor.

Natural Talalay latex: Tucked on either side of the spring unit, this sustainably sourced latex adds a responsive bounce back to the mattress and enhances pressure relief to ease aches and pains.

Soft-touch, luxurious cover: The Wheatley's cover is woven from sustainably sourced cotton viscose and treated with non-chemical fire retardant to make it safe and cosy.

Who will appreciate this mattress's medium tension support?

The Wheatley Supreme Wool Mattress is rated as medium in terms of firmness, making it an ideal choice for couples who need a "sweet spot" that's not too firm or too soft. If you're someone who prefers a firmer mattress, you may want to consider the Hypnos Marlow Ortho Deluxe Mattress, which offers a little extra firm support. Ultimately a medium tension has maximum suitability, proving suitable for most people who are combination sleepers, proving comfortable for back sleepers and stomach sleepers alike. 

Who may dislike this mattress?

While the Wheatley Supreme Wool Mattress is a great choice for many people, it may not be the best fit for everyone. If you prefer a very soft or very firm mattress, you may not be as happy with the medium firmness of the Wheatley. If you have allergies or sensitivities to wool or natural materials, this may not be the right mattress for you.

Final thoughts

Overall, the Hypnos Wheatley Supreme Wool Mattress is a high-quality, traditionally handcrafted mattress that is perfect for those who appreciate a medium firmness and are looking for a supportive, comfortable sleep experience. With its ReActivePro™ 10-turn pocket springs, wool fleece comfort layer, and medium tension support, the Wheatley Supreme Wool Mattress is sure to provide a great night's sleep for years to come.

How it scores
of the Hypnos Wheatley Supreme Wool Mattress
Scored from the build: how this construction usually performs, compared with mattresses of a similar type and price.
Scored from the build: how this construction usually performs, compared with mattresses of a similar type and price.

Suitability

  • Back Sleepers 4/5
  • 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 5/5
  • 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 4/5
  • 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 4/5
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress 4.5/5
  • 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 4/5
  • 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.

Ease of Use

  • Turning handles 5/5
  • Mattresses typically need to be rotated frequently and having turning handles can be massively beneficial, particularly in larger sizes which can become fairly heavy.

Odour

  • Initial Odour 4.5/5
  • 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 5/5
  • 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

  • Overall Brand Rating 4.5/5
  • This is based on community driven customer reviews tied to product reviews and grouped together at a brand level to produce a score.

Great design, fabrics used and comfortable. Supports your body as you sleep. We have added a topper for a little bit of extra comfort as I'm a side sleeper and just needed that little extra comfort.

The most supportive and comfortable mattress one could wish for. Has improved my hip and back pain. Takes two or three nights to get fully used to, I found.

Questions and answers about the Hypnos Wheatley Supreme Wool Mattress

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

Common question
Can the Hypnos Wheatley Supreme Wool Mattress accommodate side sleepers specifically?

Answer: This medium tension is beneficial for both back and side sleepers but does particularly well for those who choose to sleep on their side. Average weighted individuals will discover universal comfort on this support layer, though back sleepers might consider a marginally firmer option for superior contouring and support.

Common question
How easy is it to maintain the Hypnos Wheatley Supreme Wool Mattress?

Answer: Maintenance is made simpler by the inclusion of turning handles stitched into the mattress border. This helps when moving and turning the mattress, meaning you just use the handles provided for ease of use. Also, the mattress is double-sided, so by flipping it over regularly, you can prolong its incredible feel.

Common question
Does the Hypnos Wheatley Supreme Wool Mattress self-regulate temperature?

Answer: The wool layer in this mattress has great temperature-regulating properties and is a natural insulator, ensuring you stay cosy all night long. Air vents present in the mattress also enhance air circulation, which helps keep the mattress fresher.

Common question
Is there anything special about the edge support of the Hypnos Wheatley Supreme Wool Mattress?

Answer: Yes, the mattress edge is actually reinforced to provide durable edge-to-edge support, which maximises the sleeping surface allowing you to lay comfortably right up to the very edge without any sensation of 'roll-off'.
