Origin Hybrid Pro Mattress Review – A Total Game-Changer for Our Sleep

Just what we’ve been waiting for…

Let me start by saying we hadn’t bought a new mattress in over 16 years, yep, you read that right… Between the price and the fear of choosing the wrong one – after all, who wants to waste hard-earned money – we just put it off. But with my ongoing back issues (hello, bulging disc) and Andy’s expert-level snoring and nightly dance routine in his sleep we needed a solution that possibly only the Origin Hybrid Pro mattress could provide.

We had done the usual mattress testing in a few stores to kick-off our mattress search and quickly realised hybrid styles were the sweet spot for us, firm enough to support my back and stop us from rolling into each other, but soft and spongy enough for that relaxing, cloud-like sleep. Enter the Origin Hybrid Pro Mattress. Wow! – What a difference!

 Breathability & Cooling

This mattress is hands-down the best-performing hybrid we tested for breathability. Now, let’s be real no mattress is going to air-con your body like magic, unless you’re chucking your sheets in the freezer, but the Hybrid Pro does the next best thing. Its cool-touch surface, open-cell foam, and Graphite Crystal™ Latex layer has worked absolute wonders – with no sweaty nights – especially during this year’s heatwave, and even with Andy acting as a human radiator.

Delivery & Unpacking

I hate paying for delivery (and parking) as we all know, so ordering online is a breeze via the Origin website, and delivery is FREE! So even before you begin it’s already a huge tick for me – I hate negotiating delivery costs or trying to wedge a mattress into the back of the car.

It arrived within 3 days from ordering to our remote location in Norfolk which was awesome. Unpacking was honestly kind of fun. For some reason I expected to see a huge mattress at the door that would need to navigate its way carefully up the stairs, but the Origin Hybrid Pro arrived neatly in a ‘Christmas Tree’ size and shaped box that even the big man himself would have no trouble getting down a chimney.

Just like a pack of Pringles, once you pop, you can’t stop, so make sure the mattress is in place – or as close to it – before you open the box and release the wrapping. With the shackles off, the Origin Hybrid Pro uncurls and expands out of the packaging as it comes to life. Just be ready with some bin space for the cardboard and plastic or recycle it like Wilba did into a den. It took a few minutes to watch it fully spring itself into shape before the urge to try it out took over!

Design & Feel

Looks-wise, it’s a vibe! The white and navy blue design is super modern and posh, and the surface feels silky-soft, thanks to the PolarSilk Tencel™ top layer, which also happens to be sustainably made from wood pulp (love that).

The mattress is about 30.5cm high, which is standard for most hybrids, but it felt huge to compared to what it had replaced. It came with a handy little info booklet in the box too.

The Techy Bits (Made Fun)

Here’s why this mattress works so well (and why I’m never going back to another brand):

  • PolarSilk Tencel™ Cover: Cool, breathable, and sustainably sourced. It feels luxe and keeps the heat away.
  • Micro-Weaved Australian Wool: Helps with airflow and adds a layer of softness that doesn’t trap heat.
  • Graphite Crystal™ Latex Foam: 100% natural latex infused with graphite = 10% cooler than regular latex. Genius.
  • HexaGrid™ Plus Layer: Their own tech that balances comfort and deep support, perfect for my back.
  • ErgoCoil™ MicroSprings: Tiny steel springs that adjust to movement without waking your partner.
  • Bamboo-Infused Memory Foam: Memory foam with bamboo? Yes please. Cooling and supportive in one.
  • 7-Zone Titanium Springs: These aerospace-grade coils offer tailored support across your body, great for spinal alignment.
  • D-3 Edge Support: Dense foam around the edges so you don’t feel like you’re going to slide off when you sit or sleep near the side.
Comfort & Real-Life Sleep

From the first night, it was a total win. The combination of firmness and cushiness is exactly what my back needed. No more waking up stiff and achy. Andy’s tossing and turning doesn’t wake me anymore, and he’s staying cooler at night, which helps everyone sleep better.

The cover has a bit of texture from the stitching, but honestly, once you pop a sheet over it, you won’t even notice.

We genuinely all rushed to bed the first night we got it – and a month later, it’s still the best thing we’ve ever done for our sleep and wellbeing. Sleep is king, and this mattress is the crown.

Final Thoughts

Honestly, this mattress is worth every single penny and it’s a lot more affordable than some we tried out in the mattress stores. I’m already planning to buy them for the kids, and maybe even for our holiday let @thestoreroom (cheeky plug) once it opens!

If you want to try it for yourself, here’s my discount code: Cookie20off1104 – enjoy a little saving because you gorgeous lot deserve it!

Oh – and if you’re still unsure, just know it won the 2024 Good Housekeeping Award – so it’s not just me raving about it 😉

The Origin Hybrid Pro Mattress has transformed our nights and days. My back feels much better, Andy’s quieter (hallelujah), and I actually look forward to bedtime. 10/10 recommend!
