Assessed from the specification published by Mattress Online, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
The appeal here is natural fillings with a genuinely gentle feel. Wool and responsibly sourced cotton regulate temperature and let air move through the mattress, which means you're less likely to overheat than on an all-foam bed. The 1200 pocket springs each move independently, so support adapts to your shape rather than pushing back uniformly. Hypnos holds a Royal Warrant and is a National Bed Federation Approved Brand, and the wool is Red Tractor certified. Yes, the starting price of £869 is a real commitment, but the construction quality and 10-year guarantee help justify it. Rotate it seasonally and it should hold its shape well.
Key Features & what's inside
- Solotex™ comfort fibres. The top layer uses Solotex comfort fibres, recycled synthetic fibres that are breathable and durable. In practice this gives a soft initial feel that should resist flattening over time.
- Wool fillings. Two plush fleeces of natural wool sit beneath, layered on top of the cotton fibres. Wool regulates temperature naturally, which means it helps keep you warm in winter and cooler in summer.
- Cotton fillings. A deep layer of responsibly sourced cotton allows air to flow through the mattress. That airflow matters if you tend to sleep warm.
- ReActivePro™ 7-turn pocket springs. 1200 ReActivePro 7-turn pocket springs adapt to your unique shape for personalised, responsive support. Each spring moves independently, so your partner's movements are less likely to disturb you.

Who's it NOT for?
This is a soft to medium mattress, so it's not for you if you like a firm, supportive surface, and heavier sleepers may sink in further than they'd like. It's also single-sided, so if you prefer a flippable mattress, look elsewhere. And at £869 upwards, it's not a budget option.
Hypnos Banbury Cotton Comfort Mattress
View all mattresses
How firm is the hypnos banbury cotton comfort mattress?
It's described as soft to medium, so it sits at the gentler end of the scale. That makes it a good match for side sleepers and lighter bodies, which means back and front sleepers who need firmer support may find it a little too yielding.
Does the hypnos banbury come with a trial period?
Mattress Online lists a 100-night trial with this mattress. Bear in mind that's the retailer's own offer rather than a Hypnos policy, so if you buy elsewhere, check that retailer's terms before ordering.
What is the hypnos banbury cotton comfort made of?
It combines Solotex recycled synthetic comfort fibres, two fleeces of natural wool and a deep layer of responsibly sourced cotton, all over 1200 ReActivePro 7-turn pocket springs. The mattress is 26cm deep, handcrafted in the UK and 100% recyclable at end of life.
Do you need to flip the hypnos banbury mattress?
No. It's a single-sided design, so there's no flipping required. Seasonal rotation is recommended instead, which helps the fillings settle evenly and keeps the feel consistent over the years.
How long is the guarantee on the hypnos banbury?
Mattress Online lists a 10-year guarantee with this mattress. That's a decent span of cover, though as with any guarantee, confirm the exact terms with the retailer you buy from.
