Sleep Comfortably with Sleep Origins
Your mattress. It is one of the most important components which allows you to get a good night’s rest. If it is uncomfortable then not only are you going to sleep badly but you’re likely to wake up feeling uncomfortable and also in pain. Over the years, Ash and I have had a number of mattresses. Some of them have been wonderful and others have caused issues, for a number of reasons.
When Sleep Origins got in touch and asked if we would like to review a Sleep Origins mattress, we did debate whether it would be a good idea or not as the mattress we had previously had been very good. In the end, we decided to go for it. After all, we could always switch them back (something we have decided not to do).
Sleep Origins 25cm Ultimate Comfort Mattress
If you are unfamiliar with the Sleep Origins brand they are from High Street TV (a brand I am sure we have seen either on TV or on the high street). They sell three different mattresses: the comfort mattress which comes in at 15cm in depth, the super comfort at 18cm in depth and the ultimate comfort at 25cm in depth. The right one for you will depend on how much support you require.
Due to my pain levels, I thought we would be best going for the ultimate comfort edition as this offers a double layer of award winning micro pocket springs in the support areas of the mattress. Once I had spoken to the team at Sleep Origins my mattress arrived within a couple of days. However, they didn’t want me to jump in and change my mattress straight away. They actually wanted me to use the pillow app to track my sleep for seven days on my old mattress and then track it again for seven days after changing.
I’m going to be honest here and say I saw little difference via the pillow app when it came to my sleeping pattern. That said, I’m not 100% sure it actually tracked my sleeping that well. I don’t have an apple watch and so for it to work I had to place it under my pillow, where almost every night it tracked that I took 15 minutes to fall asleep, which I know wasn’t always the case. The quality of my sleep also seemed to stick at around 60%. A couple of very high nights can be put down to the fact my phone dropped under the bed and for the whole time it was down there it logged me as being in a deep sleep.
So when it comes to using the Pillow app to track the difference in the mattress I really found that hard to do.
One of the things I liked about this mattress at first impressions were the small details. The mattress includes five different support areas. The two support areas combines award winning micro pocket springs which help to support your hips and shoulders, with the firmer lumbar support zone in the centre which helps to support your spine. I will admit that the first time you lay down on this mattress it does feel different, as the support areas sink to your hips and shoulders, while the lumbar support area holds your spine area firm. However, it is a very comfortable support system to have in place when you sleep.
The super and ultimate size of mattress also come with a weave of antibacterial silver in the top layer, which is a nice addition to see.
As I’ve said before, I am often impressed by the little things and the fact that this includes little pockets to the handles which are perfect for placing in a scent packet to help you snooze really impressed me.
If, like me, you overheat at night, you may be thrilled to know the spring pockets also include Fresh Cell Technology, which helps to keep your mattress cool and comfortable overnight. Perfect!
Overall, I’m really impressed by this mattress. It most definitely offers something different to others on the market and while I am sure it won’t be for everyone as some people do like a flat firm base, for me and Ash it has worked out really well.

I’m in the market for a new single mattress. I’m impressed that there is a pillow app.
” spring pockets also include Fresh Cell Technology, which helps to keep your mattress cool and comfortable overnight. Perfect!” sounds really good because I get very warm and even need a fan on in the winter months as well as the summer months
the fresh technologu for sure x
It’s hard to choose what I like most, I tend to run warm when I sleep so the fresh cell.technology sounds great but I love the idea of the 5 different support areas as someone with chronic pain issues.
We are pretty desperate to find a new mattress at the minute. I love the idea of the scented bag pocket ?
This mattress sounds ideal for myself and my husband. I suffer with back pain and most mornings wake feeling like princess and the pea! So the idea of support from a mattress sounds perfect. My husband on the other hand gets super hot at night and so the fresh cell technology would be great to keep him comfortable at night.
I definitely agree that your mattress is one of your most important possessions. I was always told by my Grandma that there are two items which you should splash out on, your mattress and your shoes… If you’re not in one, you’re in the other 🙂 I’m a terrible sleeper if the conditions aren’t perfect. This matress seems ideal and the creators have attempted to help with all of the common complaints. Fab review, you’ve captured all of the key points and it’s very well written! I love the fact that you’ve covered everything but the article isn’t too long… I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
I love the idea of the 5 support areas sounds fantastic
This mattress sounds great, especially the Fresh Cell Technology!
The bit that stuck with me was the fact it helped you not over heat. I seem to always be cold apart from when I sleep then I heat up so this part did sound good
I am interested in the extra areas of support for the hips and shoulders and firmer support for the lumbar region. As someone who regularly has to see a Chiropractor, these additions sound as though they would be very beneficial.
I like the idea of the 5 support areas, I imagine it does feel different from a normal mattress like you wrote. I also like the idea of the scent pockets, that would definitely help to drift off.
The fresh cell technology really caught my eye, great for those hot Summer nights.
This sounds like a great mattress, perfect for my grown up daughter when she visits
I just love that it’s a NEW mattress as mine is so old and worn out now. I’d so love a fresh new one x
The Fresh Cell Technology sounds great, I often get overheated when I’m asleep and throw my covers off – then wake up and wonder why I suddenly feel cold!
The support it gives to your spine, hips and shoulders really impressed me as I’m always waking up in the morning with sore legs, shoulders and sometimes my back!
The fresh cell technology sounds ideal for the hot summer nights.
I like the idea of the fresh cell technology
Love the sound of the lumbar support system, it would greatly improve my sleep.
I like the idea of the fresh cell technology to keep you cool.
As a chronic sciatica sufferer the different hip & shoulder zones with firmer support at the spine sounds amazing. It took me over a year to find my last mattress so I’m starting my search early this time! I’m wondering how all the different support areas work with side sleepers though so will need to investigate their website
Love that it helps keep you cool at night, I’ve lost so much sleep waking up in puddles of sweat 🙁 I can’t see the silver in the pics but like the pattern it reminds me of waves washing onto the shore.. x
The 5 different support areas sounds interesting, something I haven’t seen before.
I like the sound of the fresh cell technology as my husband is like a blumming radiator at night! The lumbar support also sounds amazing as we both suffer with back pain. To be honest our current mattress is so old anything would be an improvement!!
