Hypnos Mattress Review The Hypnos Alvescot Pillow Top

Buying a mattress is a big decision and one that should be made with care and consideration. If you’re in the market for a new mattress, you’ve likely found yourself wondering which one to choose. Comfort, support and price are just a few of the factors to consider when purchasing a new bed. We’re here to help you consider all of the important factors and make the right decision for you and we hope this Hypnos mattress review will help.

This week our Hypnos mattress review is the Alvescot Pillow Top.

For a couple of years now I have been disappointed with Hypnos, as they discontinued my favourite mattress the Alto Pillow Top. It was brilliant pillow top mattress. It was a retail like for like version of the Premier Inn mattress, and the new Alvescot Pillow Top is by far the closest they have come to replicating it, and that excites me. The Astral which replaced the Alto was a much firmer mattress and certainly didn’t have the comfort of the Premier Inn mattress.

Now this mattress looks different to the traditional Hypnos mattresses we have on display in our bed shop. The cover has got a natural colour to it with a slight fleck, as opposed to the crisp white or ivory covers. This is due to Hypnos’s sustainability and eco commitments. The cover is unbleached organic natural cotton and the look is a key part of Hypnos moving forward and understanding people’s needs and wants. I mean the more natural a bed is, the better your body will pair with it.

What's inside the Hypnos Alvescot Pillow Top Mattress?

This single sided no turn Hypnos Alvescot Pillow Top mattress comprises:

• ReActivePro™ 6 turn pocket springs
• Wool
• Cotton
• Solotex
• Triple edge protection - the three outer rows of springs down the side of the mattress use a firmer gauge wire
• Flat perimeter wire for additional side support

Information on all the upholstery fillings and springs can be found on our Hypnos bed & mattress product information page.

Hypnos Alvescot Pillow Top mattress finishing touches:

• Chemical free unbleached cotton mattress cover
• Hand tufted
• 2 rows of hand side stitching
• Flag stitched handles (4 on a single Hypnos mattress and 8 on a double Hypnos mattress and bigger)
• 16 air vents on all double Hypnos mattresses and larger sizes
• The Alvescot Pillow Top mattress is available in one tension which is medium comfort

Sitting on the mattress, it was immediately evident that this was a softer Hypnos mattress, which in my opinion they need in their collection. I sunk into the deep layers of upholstery, but the edge of the mattress held up well. As the mattress is generally paired with an open coil firm edge divan base for additional comfort, it has additional edge support in the base.

I’ve waited over a year to try this new Hypnos pillow top mattress and when I lay back, oh my, it did not disappoint. The luxurious pillow top, the comfort, the spring, I don’t know what it was, but it felt pure bliss. It felt like the relaxation you get during a good spa. I really couldn’t believe that I could feel so comfortable and relaxed so quickly. It felt like the ideal mattress for a side sleeper, but I was surprised at just how comfortable and supportive it was when i was lying on my back.

I have stayed in hotels with very expensive suites and not one had a mattress that felt like this. They always tend to feel a bit firmer. This pillow top mattress feels like a cloud. 2 kilos of pure British wool is a tell tale sign that it wasn’t going to feel hard but there are few words that describe the level of comfort I had. This is good news as the most important thing about a mattress is that it is comfortable. Without a comfortable mattress, you will not enjoy a good night’s sleep. This can cause you to be tired and sleepy during the day, which can affect your work performance.

Not all things are as they seem in this world, this Hypnos mattress looks like the goliath of mattresses in our showroom. It dominates the space it sits in and looks like it needs several people to move it. However, when you sit or lay on it, you can tell it that it doesn’t. It’s delicate mattress waiting to give you hours upon hour of supportive, comfortable, effortless sleep.

I would go as far to say that even sitting on this mattress is preferable to many sofas I’ve tried. It really does tick so many boxes, British made with the filling being traceable through the red tractor assured farms. The individually pocketed hand nested springs will give your body ample support for 3650 nights, which is the guarantee period. And like all Hypnos mattresses and beds the Alvescot hand made to order by highly skilled craftsmen.
