About the Hypnos Luxurious Earth 05 Mattress
Last checked
Back and front sleepers are the natural audience for the Hypnos Luxurious Earth 05, because the defining specification is tension: it is listed as firm, 5 of 5, so the surface is intended to hold the pelvis high rather than let hips and shoulders sink deeply. Luxury here does not mean softness. For a premium-priced Hypnos mattress, that is a conservative comfort call rather than a plush one; compared with medium memory-foam hybrids or pillow-top pocket-sprung mattresses, the appeal is flatter, more resistant support and a straighter sleeping posture, not enveloping pressure relief. The customer language around the feel backs that up, with praise tending to focus on a substantial, well-made mattress that starts to bed in and feels comfortable once the sleeper suits the tension. In real bedrooms, this type of firmness can feel reassuringly solid for someone who dislikes sag or hammocking, but it gives side sleepers much less margin at the shoulder and hip. The word “luxurious” may set up the wrong expectation for anyone picturing a yielding hotel-style top layer; the practical feel described is closer to a firm support mattress with a quality finish than a soft, sink-in comfort build.
The firm tension sets a narrow but useful sleeping-position brief: back sleepers are the clearest match, some stomach sleepers should also get the pelvic lift they need, and lighter side sleepers or hourglass figures are the group most likely to feel pressure rather than relief. Several positive experiences link the support with better mornings, including less lower-back discomfort, pain relief during a hip issue and waking feeling fresher, which fits the specification rather than contradicting it. The harsher feedback is important, though: the firm version can feel very hard in the early weeks, and one poor experience described a misshapen, marked mattress with weak support, which sounds more like a faulty unit than the normal behaviour of this tension. The handling burden is real. Turning or rotating caused frustration, especially where the mattress was described as extremely heavy, so this is not a casual low-effort option for one person to maintain. It lands well for committed back sleepers wanting a firm, traditional-feeling sleep surface and for front sleepers who need resistance under the hips; side sleepers needing shoulder give, or couples split between firm and soft preferences, should aim for a medium pocket-sprung mattress or a cushioning hybrid in a more pressure-relieving class.

Brilliant bed, just starting to bed in and getting comfortable. Great night's sleep and feeling refreshed in the morning.
Amazing mattress, very comfortable. Well made and quality materials. I suffer with lower back pain, which I do not get on this mattress. It's expensive, but it's a 10 year investment. When you break it down into hours you spend sleeping, you probably spend more on coffee.
This is the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on as well as feeling very supportive My husband and I absolutely love it and we are extremely pleased with our purchase. To me now the only mattress to have is a HYPNOS and I would unreservedly highly recommend it.
Yes very nice. The reason for choosing Hypnos mattress is that I'm now in constant pain waiting for a hip replacement being no 55 in the year long queue!! The mattress gives me pain relieve. Thank you so much. Mrs D Shipp
I thought my old mattress was comfortable but this one is fantastic you get in bed and you don't want to get out the next morning it is that comfortable people think it is expensive how can you put a price on comfort I have only had the mattress 15 days my aches and pains are easing up and I am happier in myself getting a good nights sleep
Still a little early to say, but more comfortable than our previous mattress. Bensons were spot on with clear communication and arrival/delivery as they stated. Would use again, very good thank you.
The firm mattress is very firm. Maybe we'll get used to it but it feels very hard so far. Not great for sleep (yet). Not sure we'd recommend, after 2 weeks... Also, not very practicable requirement to flip and rotate the mattress weekly. On a mattress that weighs ~100kg...
Our new mattress Hypnos luxury earth 5 , seems very comfortable at the moment ( only been using it for one and half weeks) , l would have preferred it to have been a double sided mattress that you could flip over occasionally, but l did not realise until it arrived , so you can only rotate the mattress , this is Benson's specification and l was disappointed with that as it is quite an expensive mattress, we will have to see how it wears.
We would definitely. Recommend this superking bed it is so comfy and supportive and you don't feel the other person moving or turning over and you have a choice whether you have a firm medium or soft mattress each i have to say that it took a few weeks to get used to it as we had turn the mattresses over the first week then around the second week then top to toe the third week then monthly do it again Heather and tony dawson
Probably the best mattress we have ever had! Easy to get a good nights sleep.
This mattress is beautifully comfortable. It feels very luxurious, just like the bed in an expensive hotel, which is what I was aiming for. Worth the price tag, I definitely sleep better on it. I'd highly recommend it. I found all the staff at Bensons really helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.
Extremely comfortable mattress - medium tension with no pressure points like previous one, worth every penny.
This is an excellent mattress, and we've had a great buying experience. The mattress is firm, and very comfortable... and it's made to a very high standard. The purchase journey and delivery were frictionless, and I had the option to easily reschedule the delivery when my initial delivery date conflicted with something. On the morning of delivery, everything was smooth - I received a call to confirm a more accurate delivery time, the delivery team were careful and courteous, and took the (extremely heavy) mattress right to the bedframe. No complaints at all!
Fantastic improvement on our old bed, great nights sleep, no longer have the aches and pains in the morning.
Best mattress I've ever bought. Just goes to show that spending top money on a mattress is true value for money.
The comfort and support is amazing. No more waking up with a bad back! I have nothing bad to say about this matress
We absolutely would recommend this mattress it's lovely and firm but comfortable. Very well made superb fabric and quality. The mattress is nice and deep. I feel confident that we will have many years of comfort
