Hypnos Orthos Support 8 Firm Mattress
The Hypnos Orthos Support 8 is a firm pocket spring mattress made with natural materials, with 1,200 pocket springs that work independently, which means support that follows your shape rather than pushing back as one solid slab.

The Hypnos Orthos Support 8 sits at the premium end of the market. That's a serious spend, but Hypnos is a long-established British maker and the firm tension suits sleepers who want proper resistance under their back. It's available in five UK sizes, from Single up to Super King. If you prefer a softer, more cushioned feel, this probably isn't the one for you.

Why should you choose this mattress?
Choose this mattress if you sleep on your back or front and want a genuinely firm feel with responsive support underneath. The 1,200 pocket springs compress individually, which means your hips and shoulders get support where they need it and you're less likely to feel a partner moving about. Natural materials in the fillings help the mattress breathe, which matters if you tend to sleep warm. Yes, the price is high, but Hypnos builds to a standard that many cheaper foam-heavy mattresses don't match. Buying through Mattressman, you get free next day delivery and their 60-night sleep trial, so there's a safety net while you settle in.
Key features & layer details
Solotex
A soft Solotex layer sits at the top and base of the mattress. It gives you a smooth surface to lie on, with the firmer feel coming from the layers and springs beneath.
British wool
Layers of British wool from Red Tractor assured farms. It's a natural filling, which means a cosy, breathable layer that suits you if you tend to sleep warm.
Cotton
Two layers of responsibly sourced cotton sit in the filling. They add natural cushioning over the springs without making the mattress feel plush.
eOlus fibre
An adaptive eOlus fibre layer that moulds to the body around the pocket spring core. It adds a little give where you press into the mattress, while the springs keep the overall feel firm.

Best suited for?
Back sleepers
The firm tension gives proper resistance under your back, so you get responsive support rather than a cushioned, sinking feel.
Front sleepers
A genuinely firm feel with responsive support underneath helps keep your body from sinking in too far when you lie on your front.
Couples
The 1,200 pocket springs compress individually, which means you're less likely to feel a partner moving about during the night.
Warm sleepers
Natural materials in the fillings help the mattress breathe, which suits anyone who tends to sleep warm through the night.
Lightweight side sleepers may find the firm tension a little unforgiving on the shoulder and hip, and anyone who likes a plush, sink-in feel should look at a softer model. It's also a considerable outlay, so if your budget is tighter, a mid-range pocket spring mattress may serve you well enough.
Save on an earlier or ex-display model
Some retailers still sell the earlier version of this mattress, or ex-display and returned stock at a lower price. These are the sizes where it costs less than the current model's best price.

FAQ's
How firm is the Hypnos Orthos Support 8?
It's a firm mattress, which means noticeably more resistance than a medium. That suits back and front sleepers, and heavier builds, although lightweight side sleepers may find it a little too firm around the shoulder.
How many springs does the Hypnos Orthos Support 8 have?
The Mattressman listing states 1,200 pocket springs. Each spring moves independently, which means the mattress contours to your body and limits how much movement transfers across the bed.
Does the Hypnos Orthos Support 8 come with a trial?
Mattressman lists a 60-night sleep trial with this mattress. That trial is Mattressman's own offer rather than a Hypnos guarantee, so if you buy elsewhere, check that retailer's terms before ordering.
How much does the Hypnos Orthos Support 8 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 five UK sizes, from Single through to Super King. It's a premium price, though the natural materials and pocket spring construction go some way to justifying it.
How quickly can the Hypnos Orthos Support 8 be delivered?
Mattressman offers free next day delivery on this mattress, with a handling time of 0 to 1 days and transit of 1 to 3 days. They also mention an old mattress removal service, though the details of that aren't spelled out on the listing.
