5 best Hypnos mattresses - 2020 and 2021

Hypnos is a posh mattress brand which has a Royal Warrant, meaning that the Queen sleeps in a Hypnos bed. Well, it actually means that the Royal household uses Hypnos mattresses, which is also impressive.

All the Hypnos mattresses we've featured are traditionally made with pocket springs and mostly naturally breathable materials such as wool, as opposed to alternative mattress materials such as memory foam. 

We’ve chosen our top 5 Hypnos mattresses which are available to the UK market based on value for money, specification and customer reviews. Prices are for double mattresses.

1.​ Hypnos Superb Pillow Top Pocket Spring Mattress - firm tension - £899

The Hypnos Superb is hugely popular with customers and it offers a lot for the money. When we checked, reviews on John Lewis & Partners were averaging about 4.5/5 after nearly 400 ratings.

It's a firm mattress, which means it is more suited for heavier than average people and for people who sleep on their backs. If you're a 7 stone jockey who sleeps on their side, you will probably be better with a softer Hypnos mattress as you won't sink into a firm mattress very much and won't end up in a good sleeping position.

As you'd expect, this mattress comes with pocket springs which are the posher type of spring in a mattress. Some cheap mattresses use open coil springs which are wobblier and less supportive, but a brand like Hypnos uses quality materials. 

In this case, you get 1600 pocket springs on the king size version. Most mattress experts will tell that 1000-2000 is the ideal range to look for and that you only really need a high number within that range if you're very heavy. Anyway, 1600 pocket springs will provide plenty of support.

It's got a 'pillow top', which is a layer which is fixed onto the top of the mattress for a bit of extra comfort. In this case, it's made from some natural materials including wool and cashmere as well as a manmade material called Solotex, which sounds a bit like a dance act from the late 90s. 

Other signs of quality are that it's made in the UK (although, to be fair, some poor quality mattresses are made in the UK) and that it has 'hand side stitching' which is a boring technical thing which means it won't collapse when you sit on the edge of the bed to put your socks on.

The main downside with this mattress, in my opinion, is that it is single sided so you can't flip it over. Some people reckon that a mattress lasts longer if you regularly turn it over.

It comes with a 10 year guarantee. A few years ago that was an unusually long guarantee, but nowadays there are lots of cheaper 'bed in a box' mattresses which offer 10 years or even a guarantee that lasts 'forever' in the case of the Nectar Sleep and DreamCloud mattresses (subject to Ts & Cs of course...). Most of those also offer a home trial period too, which you don't get with Hypnos.

2. Hypnos Swinton Pocket Sprung Mattress - medium tension - £829

This Hypnos Swinton mattress has a slightly lower specification than the Hypnos Superb, but it's better if a) you want a medium tension mattress and b) you don't want a pillow top layer.

It has 1200 pocket springs, which is still a perfectly adequate number for the majority of people. If you're a sumo wrestler you might be better with a higher number for a bit of extra support.

Besides the springs, it uses layers of wool and some synthetic materials for added comfort. It doesn't have layers of scientific sounding stuff so it will appeal to someone who wants a straightforward, high quality mattress.

It's not quite as deep as some Hypnos mattresses. This one is 26cm whereas some are as deep as 30cm. However, I wouldn't worry about that too much - anything above 25cm is a sign of a decent mattress in the mattress market and there are also some decent ones which are 20-25cm deep.

It comes with the same 10 year guarantee as the Hypnos Superb and it scores similarly well with customers. At the time of writing, it has about 500 reviews with an average score of 4.7/5.

As with most Hypnos mattresses, it has what's known as a 'hand tufted' finished. That's a good sign of quality and just means that it is held together with the button-type things you see on the top of the mattress.

It's a medium tension mattress which is usually best for average weight people. 

​Again, the main downside with this mattress (in my opinion) is that you can't turn it over, although you can obviously rotate it round which has some benefit for extending its life.

3. Hypnos Walters Pocket Sprung Mattress - firm tension - £899

**Hypnos Sale: Save £200 on the Hypnos Walters mattress**
The Hypnos Walters pocket sprung mattress is practically the same mattress as the Hypnos Swinton (above). It's got the same spring count, the same construction methods and it gets similarly glowing reviews (4.7/5).

The main difference is the firmness of the mattress, as the Hypnos Walters is firmer than the Hypnos Swinton.

The general idea is to find a mattress where you sink in just the right amount. If you sleep on your front/back or if you're heavier than average you should be looking for a firmer mattress than someone who is lighter than average or who sleeps on their side.

According to the Hypnos website, their firm mattresses are better for people who are 'over 15 stone' or people who 'naturally sleep on their back'.

4. Hypnos Premier Luxury Pillow Top Pocket Sprung Mattress - £1249 - soft tension

​​​​​​**Discount code: 15% off with discount code MARCH15 until 31/03/21**
This Hypnos Premier Luxury Pillow Top Mattress is a softer mattress than most made by Hypnos. That makes it ideal for 'light to average weighted people' according to MattressMan.

It makes our list thanks to consistently positive reviews which were just short of 5/5 when we checked.

It's got 1400 pocket springs, which is more than the Hypnos Swinton but less than the (slightly cheaper) Hypnos Superb. It's also a bit deeper than most Hypnos mattresses at 29cm, so you'll probably need extra deep fitted sheets to avoid years of struggling whilst changing the bed sheets.

Again, you can't turn this one over because it's got a pillowtop layer, so you'll need to rotate it round instead.

5. Hypnos Bespoke Grandeur mattress - medium or firm tension - £1999

This Hypnos Grandeur mattress is twice the price of some of the others on this list. So, what extras are you getting for your money?

It comes in medium or firm tensions and has a higher spring count than the others with 1800 pocket springs on the king size version. Somewhere between 1000-2000 springs is the normal range for a good mattress. If you're heavier than average then you will get better support from a mattress with a number towards the top of that range.

This mattress can be turned over, which is a good thing in my opinion. If you are able to flip your mattress regularly then it should extend its life a bit and reduce the risk of dips and indents over time. 

However, keep in mind that a high quality mattress like this is massive (30cm deep to be precise) so turning it over is not an easy task. 

Another thing which bumps the price up are the layers of mostly natural materials alongside the springs. There are two thin layers of latex, which is a relatively expensive material which is slowly gathered from rubber trees.

​Finally, it comes with a 20 year structural guarantee whereas most Hypnos mattresses have a 10 year guarantee.

All in all then, there are several upgrades. I'll leave you to decide if it's worth the much bigger price tag.
