At 27cm deep, the Hypnos Zen pairs Hypnos's ReActive 6-turn pocket springs with breathable recycled fibres rather than foam, which means it should sleep cooler than memory foam alternatives. It's made in the UK by an NBF-approved manufacturer, is hypoallergenic, and carries a Hypnos 5-year guarantee. Sizes run from small single up to emperor, with EU sizes available too, so it suits awkward bed frames that standard UK ranges often ignore.

Why should you choose this mattress?
The main appeal here is the spring system. Hypnos's ReActive 6-turn pocket springs move independently, which means each part of your body gets support where it needs it rather than a one-size response across the whole surface. Above the springs sit eOlus fibres and Solotex, a recycled fibre that's fully breathable, so air and moisture move through the mattress rather than building up. If you're a hot sleeper who has been put off by foam, that's a genuine point in its favour. The medium firm feel suits most back and combination sleepers, although lightweight side sleepers may find it a little too firm. It's delivered flat, not rolled, so the springs arrive uncompressed.
Key features & layer details
Viscose Blend Breathable Sleep Surface
A soft viscose blend cover that promotes airflow, which means the sleep surface stays cooler and fresher through the night. It's the first line of temperature control before you reach the comfort fibres beneath.
Solotex™
Solotex is a recycled fibre that's fully breathable. It adds a softer touch near the surface without trapping heat the way some foams can.
eOlus™ Fibres
These fibres are designed to offer resilient body support while letting air and moisture pass through easily. In practice that means cushioning that recovers its shape rather than compacting over time.
ReActive™ 6-Turn Pocket Springs
Hypnos's ReActive 6-turn pocket spring system provides spinal and body support, with each spring sensing and responding to your weight independently. That independence also helps limit movement transferring across the bed if you share it.

Best suited for?
Warm sleepers
Breathable recycled fibres and a viscose blend cover sit above the springs instead of foam, which means air and moisture move through and the bed should sleep cooler.
Back sleepers
The medium firm feel and independently moving pocket springs give support where your body needs it, which means your back stays well held without sinking in.
Combination sleepers
Medium firm tension and resilient eOlus fibres that recover their shape make changing position easy, which suits anyone who moves between back and side in the night.
Couples
Each ReActive 6-turn spring responds to weight independently, which helps limit movement travelling across the bed when one of you turns over or gets up.
European bed frames
Sizes run from small single up to emperor with EU sizes available too, which means it fits awkward frames that standard UK ranges often ignore.
If you love the slow, sinking hug of memory foam, this fibre-and-spring build will feel too springy. Lightweight side sleepers may find medium firm a little unyielding at the shoulder and hip. And at 27cm, it's shallower than some deep divan-style mattresses, so very deep fitted sheets may bag slightly.
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 Zen mattress?
It's a medium firm mattress. That suits most back and combination sleepers, although lightweight side sleepers may find it slightly too firm at the shoulder and hip.
Does the Hypnos Zen mattress have a guarantee?
The MattressNextDay listing states a Hypnos 5-year guarantee. As this appears on a retailer's page, it's sensible to confirm the guarantee terms with the manufacturer or your chosen retailer before buying.
Is the Hypnos Zen mattress good for hot sleepers?
It's a reasonable choice. The build avoids foam entirely, using a breathable viscose blend cover, Solotex recycled fibre and eOlus fibres that let air and moisture pass through, so heat is less likely to build up than with memory foam.
What sizes does the Hypnos Zen come in?
It's available in UK small single, single, small double, double, king, super king and emperor, plus EU single, double and king.
Is the Hypnos Zen delivered rolled or flat?
It's delivered flat, so the pocket springs arrive uncompressed. MattressNextDay offers free next day delivery on this mattress, though delivery terms are the retailer's own and may differ if you buy elsewhere.
