The Jay-Be 2000 Hybrid is 23cm deep and sits at the affordable end for a hybrid. It's handcrafted in the UK, hypoallergenic and made largely from e-fibre rather than foam, a plus if you'd rather avoid memory foam's warmth. The soft to medium feel suits side sleepers and lighter bodies well, although heavier sleepers or anyone who prefers a firmer surface may find it a little too forgiving.

Why should you choose this mattress?
This mattress makes sense if you want a softer-feeling hybrid without a premium price. The e-pocket sprung core reacts to movement as you sleep, which means less disturbance if you share a bed with a restless partner, while the micro e-pocket springs above it create a cradled feel around your shoulders and hips. The knitted cover is designed for airflow and breathability, helpful if you tend to sleep warm. It carries a 5-year guarantee and Jay-Be is a National Bed Federation Approved Brand. Buy through Mattress Online and you also get a 100-night trial and free delivery to most locations, though those are the retailer's terms rather than the brand's, so check before buying elsewhere.
Key features & layer details
Knitted cover
A soft knitted finish that adds cosiness and warmth, which means the surface feels inviting from the first night. It's designed for enhanced airflow and breathability too.
Advanced e-Fibre layer
An advanced e-fibre comfort layer sits just beneath the cover. This is where much of the softer initial feel comes from.
Rebound e-Fibre layer
A layer of rebound e-fibre adds a finishing touch of support beneath the comfort layer, which means the softness doesn't turn into sinking.
Micro e-pocket springs
An additional layer of micro e-pocket springs creates a cradled feel. In practice, this means the mattress contours more closely around pressure points like shoulders and hips.
e-pocket sprung core
The main e-pocket sprung core reacts to your movements as you sleep, supporting your shape. Because the springs work independently, movement on one side transfers less to the other.
High density e-fibre base layer
The whole build sits on a high density e-fibre base layer, giving the springs a stable foundation to work from.

Best suited for?
Side sleepers
Micro e-pocket springs create a cradled feel, which means the mattress contours around your shoulders and hips when you lie on your side.
Lighter sleepers
The soft to medium feel and soft e-fibre comfort layer suit lighter bodies, which means you sink in gently without the surface feeling too firm.
Couples
Independent e-pocket springs in the core mean movement on one side transfers less to the other, so a restless partner disturbs you less.
Warm sleepers
Made largely from e-fibre rather than memory foam, with a knitted cover designed for airflow, this mattress should feel less warm through the night.
Allergy sufferers
The mattress is described as hypoallergenic, which makes it a sensible choice if you want a bed that suits sensitive sleepers.
If you prefer a firm surface, or you're a heavier sleeper who needs more pushback, this soft to medium feel probably isn't for you. Front sleepers, who generally need a firmer base to keep the spine level, may also struggle. And at 23cm deep, it's slimmer than some hybrids, so check your preferred sheet depth.
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
Is the Jay-Be 2000 Hybrid e-Pocket mattress soft or firm?
The product page lists it as soft to medium, also described as medium-soft. Either way, it sits at the gentler end of the scale, which suits side sleepers and lighter builds. If you like a firm, supportive-feeling surface, this is not the one.
How many springs does the Jay-Be 2000 Hybrid have?
It has 2,000 springs in total, combining a micro e-pocket spring layer for a cradled surface feel with an e-pocket sprung core that responds to your movements through the night.
Does the Jay-Be 2000 Hybrid come with a trial period?
Mattress Online lists a 100-night trial with this mattress. That's the retailer's own offer rather than a Jay-Be guarantee, so if you buy from a different shop, check their returns terms before ordering.
How long is the guarantee on the Jay-Be 2000 Hybrid?
The Mattress Online listing states a 5-year guarantee, and the same guarantee period appears in other retailer listings.
What sizes does the Jay-Be 2000 Hybrid come in?
It's available in UK Single, Small Double, Double and King. There's no Super King option, so couples wanting maximum space will need to look elsewhere.
