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.

Pin It!
the five support sounds awesome, especially as me and the hubby suffer back pain x
Having the silver in there is a great idea!
I’m intrigued about the ability to keep cool, especially with 3 months of hot sunny weather coming up (Mother Nature that latter part is for you! After such a grotty winter you owe us one!)
I like the sound of this mattress especially the fresh cell technology that keeps it cool overnight
This mattress sounds like heaven and perfect for supporting the lumbar region of my back. 9 months ago I underwent spinal surgery and it would be interesting to know if it could improve the quality of my sleep.
I have hip problems and pain I like the idea of sinking in at the hip area to cushion it. I would like to know if the matress is hot to like on as I am at that age and memory foam is too war for me!
I love the five support areas, supporting the hips and shoulders, and the firmer lumbar support. Just what I need for my painful joints . Thanks for the chance to win x
This would be perfect timing as I am recovering from spinal surgery and our current mattress is 7 years old and desperately needs replacing.
Wow! Sounds impressing. I love a good mattress and it is a great investment and so important. I am amazed at what I am resding right now. The idea of a mattress with a Fresh Cell Technology is remarkable. Keep us updated how you get on and I also have to try the app.
The Fresh Cell Technology sounds interesting! I often wake up feeling my bed is ‘dirty’ purely because its so warm and doesn’t feel as airey as when I got in.
lumber support is so important to me my current mattress gives me a back ache
The lumbar support & antibacterial! These are very interesting x
My husband is a hot sleeper so the Fresh Cell technology would work really well. The different support areas also sound perfect for a good nights sleep
I get really hot at night and the fact thta this mattress could help me feel cool, it would be perfect
The lumbar support for my back sounds great! I’ve always had problems with my back, mainly if I go to the gym or have been for a long walk. The idea of sinking into this mattress on a long day sounds so good! I love the little pocket too, I would pop a little bag of lavender scented pearls to help me drift off even more x
Hm, I’d have to feel the support areas to know if they suited me, but I love the idea of the antibacterial silver and the fresh cell technology. Our current mattress is old and not helping with my fibromyalgia pain and insomnia, so I’d love to give this a try. Sounds rather like they know what they’re doing and you like it so both of those increase my confidence! I do wonder if it is suitable for both side and back sleeping as I do both?
i like the fact it has different support areas
I would love to win this because I am one of those people who tend to overheat at night. This mattress sounds like the perfect choice, especially for when we get those rare hot days/nights in the summer.
It sounds really good; I particularly like the idea of the Fresh Cell Technology. Temperature at night is always a concern.
I wake up in agony a lot. My mattress is old, thin and you can feel the springs. Everything about this sounds amazing to me. I can’t afford one, so will have to cross my fingers and hope I win.
The Lumbar Support Zone would help my husband with his back pain – I’d look forward to less moaning as a consequence!
I am a *horrible* sleeper, lol! Insomnia, painsomnia, night sweats, lucid dreams and/or nightmares and overnight dislocations or subluxation’s make finding a mattress that works for me quite hard. I am ticking a lot of boxes on my want list with these though (which is a huuuge thing for me): support in my most painful and tricksy areas (hips and shoulders)? Tick Breathable/stays cool? Tick? Supportive and not r rock hard nor a bouncy castle? Tick? A place to put a lavender and chamomile herbal sleep bend bag? Wait what?!,! Tick!!! Sounds so so good and I have a lot of friends with similar sleep issues I am sending this mattress details to as well. Glad it helped you BTW, treasure. I know how much it imacts your life to not sleep well xxx
I’ve got quite a few problems with my spine so the lumbar support really appeals to me
Loved your honest & thorough review. Sounds like this mattress really is both comfortable and supportive. I too get quite warm at night so the Fresh Cell Technology together with the extra weave of antibacterial silver in the top layer both sound a great extra benefit. Definitely a mattress worth considering – sooner rather than later.
Fresh Cell Technology, which helps to keep your mattress cool and comfortable overnight sounds amazing especially in the summer!
