Why our sleep experts loved it
I slept on the Origin Hybrid Pro long term and already thought it was one of the best value, genuinely supportive hybrids you can buy in the UK. The Origin LumbarCloud takes that same confident, back-friendly approach and cranks the luxury up a few notches. It is still what I would call medium-firm overall, but the surface feel is softer and more cushioning in a way that makes sinking into bed feel more like a treat than a compromise.
On paper, it is a tall, feature-packed hybrid with a 35cm profile, a plush Euro top, two layers of wool and a big spring system engineered around targeted support. In real life, though, it just feels like a proper premium mattress, but without that heavy, sweaty, stuck-in-foam feeling that can happen with some plush hybrids.
Construction & Materials The LumbarCloud is a hybrid, so builds with foam comfort layers on top of a large spring core. Origin list the top cover as ultra-soft PolarSilk Tencel , and the overall design leans into airflow and buoyant support, rather than slow-melting memory foam.
In the core, Origin point to Graphite Crystal Latex , Proprietary HexaGrid Plus , Bamboo-Infused Wool , ErgoCoil Titanium MicroSprings , Cooling Comfort Foam and Aerospace-Grade Titanium Springs , plus D-3 Edge Support . Around the perimeter, there is a cotton blend layer, and the overall build is presented as non-toxic and hypoallergenic .
What matters in practice, though, is how these materials behave in terms of feel. The Euro top gives you an immediate, pillowy feel when you first lie down, but the spring and latex elements stop it becoming too hammocky. It is plush, but not sloppy.
Firmness & Feel I do not want to overstate this, but if you are expecting a super-soft mattress that you can sink right through, that is not what the LumbarCloud is. To me, it falls in that sweet spot where the surface is cloudlike and forgiving, but the support underneath is clearly present. I would still call it medium-firm overall , it just has a softer, more premium top feel than the Hybrid Pro.
The sensation is reminiscent of lying on a cushioned hotel mattress that still holds your posture properly. You get that gentle give at the shoulders and hips, and then a quicker pushback as the springs and responsive layers take over. Over a few nights, those comfort layers feel like they settle into you a little more, too, and the mattress becomes even easier to relax on, without losing that supportive baseline.
Performance & Support Support is where the LumbarCloud justifies its name. Origin talk about a high spring count and a 9-zone design, and it absolutely does match how the mattress behaves when you actually sleep on it. My lower back felt nicely held, especially when I slept on my back, and side sleeping felt far more cushioned at the shoulder than firmer hybrids, while still keeping my spine aligned.
It also feels reassuring for combination sleepers. When I rolled from my side onto my back, I did not feel trapped or have to fight my way out of a deep memory foam dip. The overall response is more buoyant, which I prefer in a premium hybrid because it makes movement easier.
For couples, motion transfer is well controlled for a mattress with this much spring in it. You can still tell there are springs in the build, it is not dead-flat like an all-foam bed, but I found it muted enough that normal rolling and getting in and out of bed did not become disruptive.
Temperature Regulation This is one of the big reasons I rate the LumbarCloud so highly. Plush hybrids often use thick memory foam comfort layers, which can sleep warm, especially if you run hot or use heavy bedding. Here, though, the inclusion of two wool layers makes a real difference to how fresh the surface stays.
Wool is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, and on this mattress it helps to avoid that clammy, heat-trapping sensation that you sometimes get with deep, slow-response foams. Across warmer nights, I felt more temperature stable, and the bed did not build up that lingering heat pocket around my torso.
On your question about whether the LumbarCloud is the first rolled mattress in the UK market to use a wool comfort layer, I would not say it is the first. I have seen rolled and boxed mattresses that include wool padding, but it is still relatively uncommon to see wool used so prominently, and in a plush, premium, high-profile hybrid like this. In that sense, yes, it does feel more distinctive than the usual boxed mattress formula.
Practical Features The LumbarCloud comes with a 200-night trial and a 15-year warranty , which is a strong pairing for a mattress at this end of the market. Delivery is described as free next day (UK mainland), and Origin also reference free white glove delivery to your room of choice, which is very welcome when you consider that a 35cm hybrid is not the sort of thing you want to wrestle upstairs on your own.
Because it is such a tall mattress, it will change the look of your bed immediately in a good way, but it does have knock-on effects. You will want deeper fitted sheets, and if your bed frame has a lower headboard, that extra height can skew the proportions.
There is also an old mattress disposal option at checkout (UK mainland only), plus 0% finance via Klarna split across 3 or 12 instalments, which may be useful if you want the upgrade but not the one-off outlay.
Who It Suits Hot sleepers who like a plush feel but do not get on with heat-hugging memory foam should find a lot to like here, thanks to the wool layers and the generally more breathable hybrid design.
Back sleepers who want a luxurious surface without losing support should feel well looked after, especially through the lumbar area.
Side sleepers who find medium-firm hybrids a bit too unforgiving at the shoulder will likely appreciate the softer, more cushioning top, while still getting proper alignment.
Couples who want a premium, hotel-like feel, but still need stable support and decent motion control, should find it a strong all-rounder.
Who It Doesn’t Suit People who love an ultra-firm sleep surface may prefer something closer to the firmer end of Origin’s range. The LumbarCloud is supportive, but the initial feel is deliberately plush.
Anyone who dislikes tall mattresses might find the 35cm profile a bit much, both visually and practically, especially for sheet fit.
Budget-first shoppers may feel the price is a stretch, even with discounts applied, because you are paying for the height, the plush build and the more premium comfort spec.
Origin LumbarCloud vs Origin Hybrid Pro I’ve spent a long time sleeping on the Origin Hybrid Pro, so I had a very clear baseline in my mind of what Origin does well; strong alignment, a balanced medium-firm feel, and that easy, buoyant hybrid responsiveness. The LumbarCloud maintains that underlying character, but alters the first impression quite a bit.
The first thing you notice with the LumbarCloud is the difference in surface comfort . The Hybrid Pro has always felt more direct and structured the moment you lie down, whereas the LumbarCloud has a plusher, more cushioning top that takes the edge off pressure points sooner. It is the sort of difference you notice most at the shoulder and hip when side sleeping, or when you first get into bed at night and want that softer welcome without losing posture.
In terms of support , I would still put them in the same family, both feel properly stable and well-engineered rather than squishy. Where the LumbarCloud feels different is that the support arrives a fraction later, because you compress that softer top first. If you like feeling held up straight away, the Hybrid Pro may still be the cleaner fit. If you like a more luxurious buffer before the mattress firms up beneath you, the LumbarCloud wins.
For temperature , the LumbarCloud has the advantage for me. The Hybrid Pro is already a good performer in this area for a hybrid, but the LumbarClouds wool comfort layers make the bed feel drier and more consistent through the night, particularly if you tend to overheat. It is less about feeling cold, and more about avoiding that slightly stuffy build-up you can sometimes get with plusher sleep surfaces.
On movement , both are easy to change position on, but the Hybrid Pro feels a touch more immediate and springy, while the LumbarCloud feels slightly more damped because of the thicker, plusher top. If you are a restless sleeper who likes a more athletic, responsive feel, the Hybrid Pro is a bit snappier. If you want a calmer, more cushioned sensation, the LumbarCloud is the more indulgent bed.
Finally, there is the practical side . The LumbarClouds 35cm profile is a noticeable upgrade in luxury presence, but it is also the one that is more likely to make you rethink bedding depth and bed height. The Hybrid Pro is generally easier to live with in that sense. Value-wise, I see the Hybrid Pro as the more straightforward all-rounder, while the LumbarCloud justifies itself if you specifically want that softer, hotel-style top feel without stepping down on support.
Final Verdict The Origin LumbarCloud is one of those mattresses that feels indulgent without becoming vague or unsupportive. It has that cloudlike, immediate comfort that makes you want to stay in bed, but also holds your posture in a way that feels genuinely restorative, especially through the lower back.
If you loved the Origin Hybrid Pro but wanted something a little softer on top, more luxurious in feel and cooler in day-to-day use, I think the LumbarCloud is a very convincing upgrade. It is not the cheapest option in the market, but it does deliver a premium experience that feels earned, not just marketed.
