Product Information

But what makes the OTTY Original Hybrid stand out from the rest of the bed-in-a-box market? I put it to the test, sleeping on it for a few weeks to assess convenience of delivery, support, and any handy features, and you can read the full results of my test here. Once you move away from cheaper mass-produced springs, you then have the option of tailored spring gauges. This means that (depending on your weight) you can choose a soft, medium or firm spring. As a result, you have the potential for split tension mattresses and zip and links. So if you and your partner are different weights, then you can have different tensions to suit each of you. View our Zip & Link Mattresses As the name suggests, only one side of a one-sided mattress is designed to be slept on, so it won't need to be turned over regularly to keep it in good shape.

There’s only so much innovation you can do with a spring, such as changing its shape or size. It will have some influence, but is it enough to spend hundreds of pounds more on a new mattress? We take a look at a few of the newer spring types so you can make your own mind up. These mattresses usually have a high number of springs, around 2000 to 3000 or more, and may have multiple layers of padding, including high-quality natural materials such as wool, cashmere, or silk. They may also be handmade and feature additional comfort-enhancing features such as built-in pillow tops. These mattresses are often made by luxury brands and may have long warranties or guarantees, think John Ryan By Design or Tempur.

Memory Foam - one of the most popular mattress types, memory foam mattresses are designed to mould to your body offering tailored support across pressure points. Factors such as brand, size and the types of material used can all have a significant impact on cost. But our mattress tests have found that you don’t need to spend a fortune to get a mattress that will support your spine and last for years.We all know that finding the best mattress is the key to a restful night’s sleep. However, with many options available, mattress shopping can often feel overwhelming. It’s not uncommon to find ourselves torn between numerous choices or frustrated by mattresses that exceed our budget. But what if we could offer you a solution that combines quality, durability, and affordability? Contrary to popular belief, our tests have shown that a mattress doesn’t have to be firm to be good for you. Firmness comes down to personal preference, as long as the mattress does a good job of supporting your body. So how do you choose the right one for you?

It’s worth understanding that there is only so much space in a mattress, and to achieve these ridiculously high spring counts (i.e. 6,000 plus) the manufacturers are simply using sheets of miniature springs layered on top of each other and reducing upholstery. They are also placing springs within springs to artificially inflate the number of springs on the label.

Thankfully, this approach has not been adopted by the most respected mattress manufacturers here in the UK.

Comfort is another key consideration that’s quite subjective and varies from person to person and as a result it’s important to choose a mattress that feels comfortable to you. Look for a mattress with a suitable firmness level and a comfortable top layer, such as a pillow top or memory foam layer, that caters to your sleeping preferences.

Like bed-in-a-box mattresses, they sometimes need to be aired or left for a fair few hours to regain shape. As humans, our uniqueness shines through in our tastes, preferences, and opinions. It’s no surprise that our sleep needs are just as distinctive. While some may find solace in a simple, no-frills mattress, others seek the epitome of bedtime perfection, from plush mattresses to silky satin sheets. This is where Happy Beds enters the picture.

We have a handy table that allows you to see the spring wire diameter we use in our range and the tension that the spring is set at.
