How we test products
Our mission is to take the guesswork out of finding the perfect sleep products.
We've dedicated hundreds of hours to testing mattresses and sleep accessories, and rely on a team of testers of differing weights, temperature preferences, and sleeping positions to evaluate each product.
Tested products are granted the Sleep Hero tested stamp of approval, a mark of our review's reliability.
If we haven't personally tested a product, please be assured that we invest significant time and energy into scouring the UK market and researching the best recommendations, and we work with a team of sleep experts who review our articles, ensuring that the insights we provide are not only relatable but also reliable.
Otty mattress composition
The Otty Original Hybrid mattress is a 4-layer hybrid mattress that combines the unique properties of an innerspring mattress with a top layer of memory foam.
It contains 64% springs and 36% foam.
The 4 layers:
- Temperature-regulating memory foam
- High-density support foam
- 16 cm (6.2") pocket springs
- HD base foam
But what does all of this mean?
Temperature-regulating memory foam (3 cm / 1.18")
The first layer of the Otty Hybrid is a layer of memory foam with cooling properties.
The innovative Otty Hybrid Cool Blue Gel memory foam has been designed to enhance breathability, allowing for a cooler sleep. ❄️
The cooling gel foam also has additional pin holes for airflow.
This allows excess heat to flow out of the mattress and cool air to draw in.
High-density foam (3 cm / 1.18")
Specially designed Reflex Foam provides comfort, stability, and support.
This supportive sleeping surface prevents you from feeling the innerspring layer underneath.
Up to 2000 pocket springs
The Otty mattress relies on up to 2000 pocket springs (depending on the mattress’s size) to maximise support and minimise motion transfer. 🚣
The Otty Hybrid has 16 cm (6.2") full-size pocket springs instead of mini springs for a more quality experience.
This is also the prime reason for the mattress’s premium stability and medium-firm rating.
5 cm HD base foam
The base layer of the Otty mattress provides a solid foundation that enhances stability and gives the mattress its durability, enabling it to be enjoyed for a long time.
The base foam layer acts like the "bones" of the mattress, keeping everything stable and preventing sagging over time.
Side support panels
In addition to the mattress’s 4 layers, the Otty Hybrid also features airflow side support panels. 🌬️
These encourage enhanced temperature regulation and provide a more stable sleeping surface with edge-to-edge support.
Otty mattress comfort
Of course, there’s no point in investing in a new mattress if it’s not comfortable.
So what do we think of the Otty Hybrid mattress? 👇
Pressure relief
The Otty Hybrid mattress has a memory foam top layer that conforms to pressure points, such as the hips and shoulders.
This cushions the sensitive parts of your body so you don’t wake up with aching joints.
Otty recommends the Original Hybrid mattress and the Pure models for those suffering from joint and back problems. 🤕
Spinal alignment
The Otty Hybrid mattress is designed to align the body while cushioning pressure points.
The Otty mattress promotes optimal spinal alignment and ensures that hips and shoulders are well supported. 🥰
The pocket spring core layer supports every surface of the body.
This ensures that the spine is kept straight and aligned throughout the night, helping to prevent neck and back pain.
Sleeping position
Did you know that you need a different mattress depending on how you sleep?
The medium-firm rating makes the Otty Hybrid mattress ideal for back sleepers.
Shoulders and hips are cushioned by the memory foam layer, while the supportive springs prevent your spine from bending.
However, it’s also soft enough to encourage side sleepers to sink in sufficiently, allowing the heavier body parts to sink in a little deeper and reducing aches on pressure points.
But we wouldn’t recommend the Otty Original Hybrid mattress for stomach sleepers.
Stomach sleepers need a firm mattress with minimal sinkage. ⚓
The DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid mattress is a good alternative for average-weight stomach sleepers.
This hybrid mattress combines supportive pocket springs with a firm foam layer.
How firm is the Otty mattress?
The Otty Original Hybrid mattress is the firmest in the Otty Sleep range. 🧱
This Otty firm mattress is on the firmer side at 7 out of 10 on the Sleep Hero firmness scale, where 1 is the softest and 10 is the firmest.
If you’re of a larger build, it might still feel a little too soft, but it’s much firmer than other hybrid mattresses and pure memory foam mattresses. 🧽
Heavier weight people feel more comfortable on pure innerspring mattresses as they are firmer than other mattresses and offer much more stability.
They’re also the preferred choice for stomach sleepers who need firmer support.
If you’re looking for a softer hybrid mattress, we recommend the Nectar Hybrid or the Simba Hybrid.
Is the Otty mattress good for couples?
The Otty mattress can be described as a mattress with low motion transfer.
But what is motion transfer?
Motion transfer measures how much movement is transferred on the mattress. ⛹️
A mattress with high motion transfer moves when you move, disrupting your sleep if you or your partner are restless sleepers.
An ideal mattress isolates this motion, and you don’t feel any movement even if your partner gets up at night.
The Otty Hybrid mattress is an excellent choice for couples and restless sleepers. 😴
You can expect a night of undisturbed sleep on the Otty mattress.
Edge support
The Otty mattress has extra firm side panels that give it excellent edge support.
This means you can sit on the edge of the bed without sinking in.
This is great for the elderly who need to get in and out of bed easily. 👴
Edge support also prevents the feeling of “roll-off”, so you won’t experience that feeling of tipping out of bed.
Otty Hybrid cover
The Otty Hybrid mattress features a luxurious, thick-knit mattress cover that provides a soft and comfortable sleeping surface.
A disadvantage is that the cover has no handles, which makes transporting and turning the mattress a little more complicated. 🤔
Can you wash the Otty mattress cover?
The Otty mattress cover is completely removable and can be machine-washed at 40 degrees.
This makes it a good choice for anyone who sweats at night and wants to keep their mattress fresh. 🧼
It’s also ideal for allergy sufferers, as regular washing of the cover helps remove dirt and dust accumulated on the cover.
Despite the washable cover, we recommend you use a mattress protector to keep your new Otty mattress safe from stains and accidents.

Is the Otty mattress good for hot sleepers?
The unique airflow system of the Otty Hybrid mattress ensures a much cooler sleep than conventional memory foam mattresses. ✅
This is due to the cooling gel and pinholes in the memory foam layer and the additional airflow capabilities of the side support panels.
Of course, the pocket springs in the Otty mattress also play a role in this.
Innerspring mattresses are usually much cooler than other types of mattresses because the space between the springs allows for natural ventilation channels that increase the overall airflow in the mattress. 🌬️
This allows body heat to escape and keeps the mattress cooler overall.
The temperature-regulating memory foam has breathable pin holes, which push out excess heat and allows for better circulation.
You’ll probably find the Otty mattress exceptionally comfortable if you prefer a cooler sleep.
Our article on the best cool mattresses can provide some even cooler alternatives.

-
Is the Otty Hybrid available on Amazon in the UK?
Yes, Amazon UK sells the Otty Original Hybrid, Otty Pure, Otty Pure Plus, and the Otty Essential Hybrid.
The Essential Hybrid is a lower cost mattress with a height of 23 cm.
This mattress has since been rebranded and is sold as the Otty Aura.
While you still receive your 100-night trial if you purchase through Amazon, we would always recommend purchasing directly from the brand for quality assurance.
-
Which Otty mattress is best?
The best mattress for your sleep depends on your unique sleep requirements.
You should also consider what kind of budget you have for a new mattress and keep this realistic.
These hybrid mattresses are suitable for most sleepers.
Our Otty Hybrid mattress review can also help you decide if this mattress is for you.
However, we also recommend the following:
- Otty Aura Hybrid mattress for budget buyers
- Otty Original Hybrid mattress for back sleepers
- Otty Pure Hybrid Bamboo & Charcoal mattress for hot sleepers and allergy sufferers
- OTTY Pure+ Hybrid Bamboo & Charcoal Premium mattress for side sleepers
We wouldn’t recommend an Otty mattress to heavier-weight people or stomach sleepers.
Instead, consider a pocket-sprung bed, which will provide firmer support and stability.

Otty Hybrid mattress guarantee
Otty believes in the quality of its products and offers a 10-year guarantee on the Otty mattress.
But what does that mean? 🤔
You are protected against manufacturing defects such as sagging and dipping.
However, there is a bit of fine print regarding mattress indentations.
If your Otty mattress dips, it must be visible to the naked eye and be more than 25 mm within the first 12 months.
The allowance for dipping increases each year, which suggests that some dipping is to be expected.
More information on these conditions can be found on the Otty website.
-
What else does Otty sell?

The mattress selection includes the Otty Pure Hybrid Bamboo Charcoal mattress, the Otty Aura Hybrid mattress, and the Otty Pure Hybrid Bamboo & Charcoal Premium mattress.
