Why our sleep experts loved it
I understand the challenge of finding the perfect balance between comfort and support which is why I am so excited to talk about The Eve Sleep Wunderflip Hybrid Mattress, a new mattress from Eve, no under Bensons for Beds ownership, that offers a unique solution with its dual-firmness design, allowing sleepers to choose between a firmer or softer side. After spending several weeks testing this mattress, I'm eager to share my insights on its performance and overall value.
Key Features
The Wunderflip Hybrid Mattress is designed to cater to varying comfort preferences. One side offers a medium-firm feel, while the other provides a medium feel, allowing users to select the firmness that best suits their sleeping style. This adaptability is particularly beneficial for those who are uncertain about their firmness preference or for guest rooms where different individuals may have varying comfort needs.
The mattress is constructed with a combination of memory foam and a dual spring system. The memory foam layer is designed to relieve pressure points and adapt to the body's contours, promoting proper spinal alignment. The dual spring system, consisting of full-sized pocket springs and micro pocket springs, enhances support and reduces motion transfer, making it suitable for couples.
Temperature regulation is another notable feature. The open-cell structure of the memory foam, along with drill zones, facilitates airflow, helping to dissipate heat and maintain a comfortable sleeping temperature throughout the night.
Performance and Comfort
Upon unboxing, the mattress expanded to its full 27cm depth within a few hours. The cover, made from a soft quilted fabric treated with Purotex+ technology, felt inviting and is designed to reduce allergens, which is a thoughtful addition for those with sensitivities.
Sleeping on both sides of the mattress provided distinct experiences. The medium-firm side offered substantial support without feeling overly hard, making it suitable for back and stomach sleepers. In contrast, the medium side provided a bit more cushioning, which side sleepers may find beneficial for relieving pressure on the shoulders and hips. The reinforced edge support was effective, allowing for the full surface of the mattress to be utilized without feeling like one might roll off.
Motion isolation was commendable, especially on the firmer side. There was minimal disturbance when my partner moved during the night, which is a significant advantage for light sleepers. Temperature regulation was also effective; at no point did the mattress feel uncomfortably warm, a common issue with some memory foam mattresses.
Considerations
While the dual-firmness feature is innovative, it's worth noting that the difference between the two sides is subtle. Those seeking an extremely firm or exceptionally soft mattress might find both sides leaning towards a middle ground. Additionally, the cover is not removable or washable, so using a mattress protector is advisable to maintain hygiene.
Conclusion
The Eve Sleep Wunderflip Hybrid Mattress is an ambitious and thoughtful attempt to provide adaptability in a market where personal preference dictates the ultimate sleep experience. Its dual-firmness feature makes it particularly appealing to those who are unsure about what they want in a mattress—or for anyone who simply likes the idea of being able to change things up over time without needing to invest in a whole new bed. This alone makes it stand out in a sea of one-size-fits-all options.
But does it truly redefine the hybrid mattress category?
Well, that depends on your expectations.
The combination of pocket springs and memory foam creates a balanced feel that works well for a wide range of sleepers, particularly those who move positions at night or share a bed. Motion isolation, support, and edge stability all exceed expectations for a mattress in this price range. The inclusion of dual spring layers (both full-sized and micro pocket springs) is an impressive engineering choice, ensuring that sleepers get both the contouring effect of memory foam and the pushback needed for spinal alignment.
However, if you're looking for a dramatic contrast between the two firmness options, you might be left wanting more. While the difference is noticeable, it's not as extreme as some sleepers may expect, especially those used to ultra-firm or plush surfaces. Instead, the Wunderflip sits firmly in the middle ground, offering two variations of medium comfort rather than two drastically different sleep surfaces. That’s not necessarily a downside—it simply means that this mattress is best suited to people who appreciate balanced support and comfort rather than those who crave an ultra-soft or extra-firm sleeping experience.
Another point worth noting is temperature regulation. Memory foam can often be a culprit for trapping heat, but Eve has clearly worked hard to counteract this with open-cell foam structures and airflow-enhancing drill zones. Throughout testing, the mattress remained pleasantly cool, which is a testament to its well-thought-out design. This makes it an excellent option for hot sleepers who love memory foam but struggle with overheating.
Would I recommend it? Yes—but with some caveats.
If you’re after a versatile hybrid mattress that caters to shifting preferences, provides dependable pressure relief, and ensures long-term durability, the Wunderflip Hybrid is a smart investment. It’s particularly appealing for couples, those who sleep in multiple positions, and anyone who wants more control over their sleep experience without committing to a single firmness level.
That said, those who demand ultra-soft plushness or rock-solid firmness might find both sides of the Wunderflip a little too safe. If you're someone who knows exactly what kind of mattress feel you need, this might not be the boldest choice. However, if you value flexibility and long-term adaptability, this mattress offers something that few others do—a customizable sleep surface that evolves with your needs. And that, in itself, is a feature worth celebrating.
