Who is the Hypnia Essential Hybrid most suitable for?
The Hypnia Essential Hybrid is a versatile mattress that’ll be suitable for a wide range of sleepers.
But, it’ll be most suitable for:
- Side sleepers: The top layer of memory foam gently cushions pressure points at the shoulders and hips. Combined with the underlying support, this helps align the body and prevents aches.
- Back sleepers: The pocket spring support offers the firmness required for back sleepers.
- Couples: The Hypnia Essential Hybrid has good motion isolation, so partners can move around and get in and out of bed without disturbing each other.
Overall, the mattress is particularly suitable for lighter-weight and average-weight sleepers.
Hypnia Essential Hybrid composition
The Hypnia Essential Hybrid is a 20 cm (7.8”) mattress with 3 comfort zones and multiple foam and spring layers.
Here’s a breakdown of each layer:
Quilted Air-wave cover
The breathable Hypnia mattress cover, certified by Oeko-Tex [1], promotes airflow for a cooler and more comfortable sleep.
It’s also removable and machine-washable, which is great for those concerned about hygiene.
Memory foam comfort layer
The top comfort layer of memory foam gently cushions pressure points, particularly around the shoulders and hips.
Support foam layer
Beneath the memory foam, a denser support foam layer adds stability, helping maintain spinal alignment and preventing sagging over time.
Pocket springs
At the core, individually wrapped pocket springs are arranged in 3 support zones to target different body areas, providing tailored support and reducing motion transfer.
Foam edge encasement
Encasing the spring core, this foam layer offers edge support, ensuring stability across the mattress and maximising the usable sleeping surface.
Anti-slip base layer
The bottom layer features a non-slip material, which keeps the mattress securely in place on any bed frame.
What does sleeping on the Hypnia Essential Hybrid feel like?
With a combination of soft contouring and support, the Hypnia Essential Hybrid will give you a few unique features:
- Gentle contouring and pressure relief: The memory foam top layer contours to your body, offering gentle cushioning and relieving pressure on areas like the shoulders and hips.
- A blend of softness and support: The memory foam gives you softness with a stable foundation of the pocket springs below. This is ideal if you like a soft top with firmer support underneath.
- Easy movement without that “stuck” feeling: You can change positions easily, despite the memory foam layer, but it’s worth keeping in mind that how deeply you sink into the mattress depends on your body weight.
- Minimal motion transfer for undisturbed sleep: The combination of memory foam and individually-wrapped pocket springs works well to minimise motion transfer. This makes the mattress particularly suitable for couples and restless sleepers.
It’s worth keeping in mind that not everyone likes the feeling of memory foam. 🤔
But since the Essential Hybrid only has a 1 cm (0.4”) memory foam layer, you’ll be able to enjoy the benefits of this foam without the downsides of over-heating and feeling stuck in your mattress.
How firm is the Hypnia Essential Hybrid?
The Hypnia Essential Hybrid is rated as a medium-firm mattress at a 7 out of 10, where 1 is the softest and 10 is the firmest.
This balanced firmness level provides solid support, making it a versatile option for different sleeping positions.
Lighter- and average-weight side and back sleepers are likely to find this mattress particularly comfortable.
That said, very light-weight sleepers may find the Hypnia Essential a touch too firm, while heavier back or stomach sleepers are likely to need a bit more firmness and support.
The Origin Hybrid may be a good, firm alternative.
Does the Hypnia Essential Hybrid sleep hot?
The Hypnia Essential Hybrid is designed with temperature regulation in mind, largely due to its breathable cover and hybrid structure.
- The moisture-wicking cover helps disperse heat, keeping the surface cool.
- The pocket springs within the core promote airflow through the mattress, allowing for an overall cooler sleep experience.
You shouldn’t feel too hot while sleeping on the Hypnia Essential. ❄️
