Last time we went bed shopping was about 5 years ago and something the salesman said really stuck with me……although it was common sense I had just never thought of it like that. On average we spend about 1/3 of our life asleep. On that basis we should change our mattress/bed more often than most of us actually bother AND get a decent mattress. That’s why I now no longer try to find a cheap one but get one that shouts comfort at me no matter the price.
A decent mattress can make the difference between a good nights sleep and a bad nights sleep.
I had recently been thinking I needed to change our bed. Since having two children, my back has slightly suffered and I end up with lower back pain now and then…and I had noticed this pain was returning in the mornings and I was beginning to wake up a bit stiff in the morning. Fortunately we were contacted by Hush to ask if we wanted to try out one of their mattresses. Perfect timing!
The Mattress:
The mattress arrives rolled up in a box….that is one of the unique things about it. It seems unbelievable that a King Size mattress could fit in a box but it did! It did make the box pretty heavy to be honest but the delivery guy was nice enough to bring it into the living room for me.
It is recommended to open it up immediately but I was busy the day it arrived and couldn’t open it but it does not seem to have adversely affected it. But it is not recommended to leave it rolled up for too long.
The Hush Premium Mattress features 1000 (pocket count) 18cm full size pocket springs (not micro-springs) and next generation memory foam.
Features:
- Super cool and supersoft
- Polyester
- 40mm Revo Vasco Memory Foam
- Support Foam
- Fibre Insulator
- Support Core
- Combination of foam and fabric to stabilise the base.
Aesthetics
The mattress once unrolled looks very stylish. The blue looks so vibrant against the whiteness used for the top of the mattress. And the logo on the top also emphasises the style of the whole mattress in general.
Ease of Unpacking and Unrolling
The box is heavy so I personally would recommend having someone help you with it, especially if you are going to take the box upstairs to your room. I believe the weight was around 30kg and it is never ideal to lift any heavy items alone.
Once unpacked it is advised to leave the mattress for a couple of hours to let it get some air and settle after having been rolled up tightly.
You can see our video unpacking and talking about the mattress to see how easy it is to unpack.
Comfort
We have now been using the mattress for 2 weeks. So I can safely say it is comfortable. It does feel firm when you are lying on it but I am having a good nights sleep on it. My back pain in the mornings has eased considerably and I don’t wake up feeling as stiff as I normally did with the old mattress.
And it has also received the seal of approval from the cat. Rosie isn’t usually allowed on the bed but she has been sneaking on there when we aren’t looking! You can’t get any higher approval than her!
Price
The price obviously varies dependant on the size needed:
- Single – £370
- Small Double – £485
- Double – £520
- King – £595
You can find more details and size measurements on the Hush mattress website.

THIS was worth the read! Thank you for sharing!
Sounds like a great mattress, I could use one for my back!
I’m like the princess and the pea when it comes to mattresses so I know how important it is to change your mattress regularly. I’m amazed it comes in a box. So much easier for getting it up the stairs.

You are absolutely right in highlighting the importance of a good mattress. Thanks for the review and share.

Thanks for the mattress review, I need to research mattresses as ours isn’t that comfortable anymore
Haha! I love Rosie’s seal of approval!
I have been on a lookout for a good mattress too but just delaying it till we move! This one looks fab x
interesting, and your point is valid we really sleep 1/3 of our lives and are not much concern with it.
The packaging was very interesting too, I never would have gues
sed its a full mattress in this box!
great review!
It is so worth investing in a good mattress, ours was well worth the money – this one looks fab too
Im a sucker for a comfy bed. My husband prefers sleeping on the floor Japanese style but thats not for me at all lol.
You can’t beat a good mattress. I like the idea of it arriving rolled up – they take up so much space otherwise.

We are in the market for a new mattress for Mini. I think that a good mattress is essential. My only concern about buying one online is you can not try before you buy
I couldn’t agree more with your salesman, a good mattress is fundamental to a healthy life. Great review.

As you said it’s common sense and really important item but people often neglect. What I checked for first in ur review is that it’s firm.. I can never sleep on a soft mattress.. firm is highlight of comfort for me. Glad to know Rosie is secretly enjoying it too. She’s so cute !
A good mattress makes all the difference ! Rosie is such a cute cat too

Hehe kitty approved!!!! Thank you for sharing this review, it’s always good to know these things because you never know when this info may come in handy <3
We’ve just changed our mattress and the difference is amazing – no more back pain!
Seal of approval from the cat – I loved that! Lol! I’ve never heard of Hush but it’s definitely something to watch out for!
Your article has proven to be very useful. I totally agree with you!
As someone who is extremely sensitive to the feel of mattresses, much like the princess in the story, I understand the significance of replacing your mattress regularly. It’s surprising to see that mattresses now come in a compact box, which makes it much more convenient to carry them upstairs.
