As the economy gets worse, people are looking to find the best deals without sacrificing quality. In this OTTY Aura Hybrid mattress review, I talk about this value-for-money option that is designed for those on a budget.
After seeing great success with their OTTY Hybrid mattress, the people behind this brand decided to create a more affordable option. Instead of designing one from scratch, they used an already successful recipe here and they cut costs wherever they could. That means that this is a hybrid option but more on that later. Mine was delivered almost a month ago so let’s move now to the full review below.
Materials & Construction
The OTTY Aura Hybrid has a 4-layer construction. In detail, these layers are:
- A Comfort Memory Foam layer that can mould to your body and help you get a comfortable sleep.
- An HD Support Foam layer that can provide your body with extra support.
- A layer made of tall pocket springs(16cm) that are designed to minimise motion transfer. This layer is the main source of support.
- A high-density foam layer that is the base of this mattress.
Around the layers, the engineers at OTTY have added reinforced foam walls that radically improve the edge support. The OTTY Aura Hybrid measures 23cm in height so it comes with a medium profile.
Cover
The cover of the OTTY Aura Hybrid is a beautiful one. It looks quite vibrant and they definitely had younger people in mind when designing it. It’s made of 97% Polyester and 3% Spandex so this is a very breathable blend. It also feels strong and it looks of high quality. The cover is removable and can easily remove it by unzipping it. If you want to clean it, make sure you use your washing machine at 40 degrees. This is very practical and it maintaining it is a piece of cake.
Additionally, there are four handles at the bottom of this mattress which will help you move this mattress. This is very useful and I love it when makers think this way. Overall, it has most of the features that a good cover should have and I think they did a good job here.
Comfort & Support
I want to continue writing this OTTY Aura Hybrid mattress review and discuss its firmness. This mattress was designed for the average sleeper so it comes with a medium-firm feel. If I use my virtual scale here, I would say it’s a 6.5 with 10 being really firm. It’s time now to talk about the different sleeping positions and how this mattress performed.
Starting from the back position, the pocket springs reacted quickly and support was good. However, I didn’t feel that the pressure relief was adequate and the memory foam layers didn’t ‘hug’ me like other hybrid mattresses. However, it was comfortable in this position.
Turning to my side, I felt that the springs did a great job. In general, this mattress is very responsive and sinkage was ideal. My spine was aligned properly and I didn’t feel any discomfort on my hips and shoulders. I felt that my body was well supported but it was comfortable at the same time.
Finally, moving to the stomach position, the mattress felt firm enough for a good spine alignment. My hips were in a good position but again I felt that the pressure relief was average. This is something I expected to be honest since this is a budget-friendly mattress.
Regarding the edge support, the reinforced side walls do an excellent job so this mattress performs well across the four corners of the sleeping surface. However, if you are a couple you should expect some motion transfer but nothing major.
Service
The OTTY Aura Hybrid is a rolled mattress and it will come packed inside a carton box. They offer a free delivery service provided that you live in a UK postcode. They offer a number of add-ons that include old mattress removal, package disposal and mattress setup. All these will cost you some money but they have reasonable prices.
I just added a mattress setup as I didn’t want to move the box by myself. The courier arrived on time and the whole process was very straightforward. I received a text with my delivery slot and in general, I felt that I knew what to expect. Overall, I think OTTY did an excellent job here and I love the extra options they give to customers.
Trial Period & Guarantee
Just like most rolled mattresses these days, the OTTY Aura Hybrid mattress comes with a 100-night trial period that gives you more than 3 months to decide whether you are happy with it or not. If for any reason, you are not happy with it, you can return it and get a full refund. The process is free and it’s not a complicated one. You will also get a 10-year guarantee that shows how confident they are about their mattresses. Overall, they offer a great support package here so no complaints at all.
OTTY Aura Hybrid Mattress Review – The Verdict
It’s time now to complete this OTTY Aura Hybrid mattress review and share my final thoughts with you. I personally think that this is a really good ‘first mattress’. If you are looking to upgrade from your old mattress and you have a tight budget then this can be a good start. It does provide a lot of support and it comes with excellent service. Pressure relief is average but for what you pay, you are getting a great value here.
