Eve Original Mattress

Assessed from Eve's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.

This is a sensible pick if you want a straightforward foam mattress at a mid-range price. The medium-firm support with a lightly cushioned feel suits most sleepers, and the base layer has seven contour zones cut in to ease pressure from your shoulders and hips. If you tend to sleep warm, the moisture-wicking top cover and the breathable evecomfort foam are designed to keep clamminess at bay, though foam mattresses generally run warmer than sprung ones. The 200-night trial takes most of the risk out of buying unseen, and on Eve's own product page it holds a 4.6 rating from 374 reviews. It's not the cheapest foam option around, but the trial, guarantee and Which? Best Buy status help justify the price.

Side sleepers
The memory foam layer and the seven contour zones cut into the base are designed to ease pressure at the shoulders and hips.

Back sleepers
Medium-firm support with a lightly cushioned top feel suits most sleepers, which should keep the back comfortably supported without feeling hard.

Combination sleepers
A medium-firm feel with a lightly cushioned top suits most sleepers, so changing position through the night should not mean changing how the bed feels.

Couples
Nine sizes from UK Single up to Emperor, plus EU sizes, mean a pair can find a width that gives each person enough room.

Guest rooms
The anti-slip base helps keep it in place, and a 10-year guarantee suggests it should stay in good shape even if it is only used occasionally.

If you prefer the bounce and airflow of pocket springs, an all-foam design like this probably isn't for you. Very hot sleepers may still find foam warmer than a sprung or hybrid alternative, despite the breathable layers. And if you like a properly firm, unyielding surface, the lightly cushioned feel may be a little too soft on top.

Is the Eve Original mattress firm or soft?

Eve describes it as offering medium-firm support with a lightly cushioned feel. In practice that means a supportive core with a softer surface, which suits most sleepers, although those who want an especially firm or especially plush mattress may want to look elsewhere.

Does the Eve Original come with a trial period?

Yes. Eve offers a 200-night trial, so you can sleep on it at home for well over six months before committing. It's also backed by a 10-year guarantee.

How much does the Eve Original mattress cost?

It depends on the size you choose, and the price table on this page shows the current price for each size. It comes in nine sizes, from UK Single through to Emperor, with EU Single, Double and King also available.

What is the Eve Original mattress made of?

It's an all-foam mattress built from evecomfort foam, memory foam and a denser base foam, topped with a moisture-wicking cover and finished with an anti-slip base. There are no springs, so expect a contouring, cushioned feel rather than bounce.

How is the Eve Original delivered?

Delivery is free and the mattress arrives vacuum-sealed, so it comes rolled and compressed in a box rather than flat. That makes it easier to get up stairs and through doorways before you unpack it.
