Product Information

So instead I am using my own “firmness scale” which isn’t as scientific as it sounds; on the scale, the OTTY (with 10 being very firm), I would say that the OTTY mattress is a 6.8. That means that it is ideal for those who like their mattress to be slightly firmer than the “average” mattress.

While the mattress can be placed on any standard base – including divans, platform beds and adjustable beds – or even the floor, Otty recommends using a slatted frame as it allows the air to circulate most effectively. And, to get the best from your mattress, you’ll also need to rotate it once a month for the first year, and once every three months from then on. Otty suggests waiting a minimum of four hours before sleeping on the new mattress as this is how long it takes for it to reach a usable depth once unrolled. To give it enough time to reach its full 25cm depth, I left it for 48 hours before giving it a try. But if you do need to sleep on it sooner, four hours should be enough for it to take shape. As said above, I am focussing on the Hybrid mattress here mostly. But let’s not forget that, like many other brands nowadays, OTTY also offer a few other mattresses in their range:When you’re comparing the best mattress brands, there comes a point where they all start to blur into one. If you’re not careful then you start to lose the will to live! I have hand-reviewed all the biggest mattress-in-a-box brands in the UK — so that you don’t have to; below I review the newest contender to the market – OTTY. Top layer: A 3cm Cool Blue Gel memory foam layer which is designed by OTTY and keeps the mattress in the right temperature during sleep. The reason for that is likely because their mattresses appear to be made in China. I couldn’t find much more information on this, apart from this article, but given that most products are made in China now, I don’t see why it’d be any lower-quality than other brands. You may have concerns with buying anything from China – so if that’s you, then maybe look at another brand. If you’re able to spend a bit more, and want a Hybrid mattress made in Britain (aside from Simba), then read my full, unbiased Brook + Wilde review here.

The Original Hybrid’s side support is impressive too, and I found the sides retained their shape well when I lay close to the edges, or sat on them to get in and out of bed. For the Hybrid mattress, there are 4 layers if you exclude the fabric outer skin (I will cover this later). The layers are: Bottom layer: A 5cm high-density foam base layer which keeps the mattress all together and works as the base of the mattress. Firmer mattresses are suitable for side sleepers because they don’t sink as much. If you are a side-sleeper then definitely consider the OTTY.With all that being said, though, I’m inclined to agree with Otty. I’d place the Pure Hybrid somewhere in the 6.5 range, perhaps a smidge firmer when used on a solid base. While some mattresses can soften up after the first few days, I found the Pure Hybrid comfortable from the first night with little change over the following few days.
