Who Is This Mattress For?

A handcrafted, foam-free turnable pocket spring mattress built around Hypnos's ReActivePro™ 8-Turn spring with eight fleeces of Red Tractor Assured British Wool, a Swaledale Wool Support Layer, Adaptiv™ Comfort Springs, a chemical-free fire retardant treatment, Triple Edge Protection™ and a choice of Medium (3/6) or Firm (5/6) tension.

Medium Feel - 3/6

The goldilocks option - not too firm, not too soft. Medium is the most versatile firmness level, balancing comfort and support in a way that suits most sleeper types.

Best for

• Side sleepers - the medium tension and Adaptiv™ Comfort Springs cushion shoulders and hips to relieve pressure points while the ReActivePro™ springs keep the spine aligned
• Back sleepers - supportive enough to maintain the spine's natural curve without feeling too firm
• Front sleepers - firm enough to prevent hips from sinking too far throughout the night
• Combination sleepers - 8 active turns per spring deliver responsive, precise support as you change position
• Couples - individually wrapped springs move independently so you won't disturb each other
• Hot sleepers - eight fleeces of Red Tractor Assured British Wool naturally regulates temperature and wicks moisture throughout the night
• Those who want long-term durability - the Swaledale Wool Support Layer maintains the mattress's shape and support over time
• Those who want a longer-lasting mattress - the turnable construction distributes use evenly across both sleeping sides
• Sleepers up to 114kg (18st) per side

Firm Feel - 5/6

A supportive, solid feel designed to keep your body well supported throughout the night. Ideal for back and front sleepers, or those who prefer a firmer sleeping surface.

Best for

• Back sleepers - keeps the spine well supported and aligned throughout the night
• Front sleepers - keeps the body level and well supported, preventing hips from sinking into the mattress
• Heavier sleepers who need firm support with the natural breathability of British Wool
• People who prefer a firm, supportive sleeping surface
• Hot sleepers - Red Tractor Assured British Wool naturally regulates temperature and wicks moisture
• Those who want long-term durability - the Swaledale Wool Support Layer maintains the mattress's shape and support under higher tension loads
• Sleepers up to 114kg (18st) per side

Not ideal for

• Side sleepers choosing the Firm (5/6) tension - this does not provide sufficient cushioning at the shoulders and hips; the Medium (3/6) option is recommended for side sleepers
• Sleepers who prefer a very soft, sink-in feel - see our soft mattress range for softer options

Inside This Mattress

ReActivePro™ 8-Turn Pocket Spring System
What it is: Hypnos's premium pocket spring system with 8 active turns per spring. Each spring is a single continuous coil that moves independently, responding to your body weight and position in whichever of the two tensions you choose. The name "Wool Origins 8" refers directly to this 8-turn specification.
How it helps you sleep: Eight active turns per spring deliver a broad range of response at each point along the body, sensing and reacting to exact pressure requirements. The open spring structure drives air through the mattress to regulate temperature on both sleeping sides of this turnable design, with minimal motion transfer between partners.

Red Tractor Assured British Wool (Eight Fleeces)
What it is: Eight fleeces of British Wool sourced from farms certified under the Red Tractor scheme, covering animal welfare, traceability and environmental standards throughout the supply chain. The depth of wool filling across eight fleeces gives this mattress a generously cushioned natural comfort surface.
How it helps you sleep: A natural insulator that keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter by regulating body temperature and wicking moisture away as you sleep - working effectively on both sleeping sides of this turnable mattress across both tensions.

Swaledale Wool Support Layer
What it is: A structural support layer made from Swaledale Wool - a breed known for its coarse, resilient texture and exceptional durability. Unlike the softer upholstery wool above it, this layer is specifically engineered to maintain the mattress's shape and support structure over time.
How it helps you sleep: Prevents the mattress from losing its shape or support profile over years of use, helping the Wool Origins 8 perform as well in its fifth year as it does on the first night. A key differentiator for those investing in a mattress they want to last.

Adaptiv™ Comfort Springs
What it is: A secondary layer of micro springs positioned within the comfort layers above the main pocket spring system. They flex individually to body shapes, creating a balanced and responsive comfort surface.
How it helps you sleep: Adds a second tier of body-responsive support within the comfort zone, allowing the mattress to adapt more precisely to different body shapes and weights in both tension options.

Triple Edge Protection™
What it is: Higher-tension springs running around the full perimeter of the mattress, reinforcing the border from top to bottom.
How it helps you sleep: Extends the full sleeping surface right to the very edge on both sleeping sides of this turnable mattress, ensuring consistent support for couples who use the full width of the bed.

Hand Tufting
What it is: A traditional upholstery technique where tufts are hand-stitched from the top of the mattress to the bottom, securing all comfort layers in place.
How it helps you sleep: Keeps the wool fillings evenly distributed and prevents shifting over time, so the mattress maintains consistent cushioning across both sleeping sides.

3 Rows of Hand Side Stitching
What it is: Senior upholsterers use long needles and twine to hand-stitch the outer springs to the mattress border at three points.
How it helps you sleep: Exceptional edge strength that prevents spring distortion and extends the sleeping surface right to the border - one of the most labour-intensive finishes in traditional mattress making.

Belgian Damask Cover
What it is: A soft-to-touch cover woven from certified sustainable cotton yarn and viscose in a damask construction, with a chemical-free fire retardant treatment.
How it helps you sleep: No synthetic fire retardant chemicals at the sleeping surface - the breathable cover complements the natural wool fillings beneath and provides a comfortable, clean sleeping environment on both sides of this turnable mattress.

How it Compares

Vs softer models: The Wool Origins 8 in its Medium (3/6) option provides a well-balanced feel with the natural warmth and breathability of eight fleeces of British Wool and the precision of Adaptiv™ Comfort Springs. Soft models prioritise cushioning over support; the Wool Origins 8 Medium delivers both alongside a distinctive durability credential from its Swaledale Wool Support Layer. If you prefer a very soft, plush feel, our soft mattress range is the right starting point.

Vs firm models: The Firm (5/6) Wool Origins 8 delivers solid, well-supported sleep with the natural breathability of British Wool and the long-term shape retention of Swaledale Wool. If you need maximum orthopaedic resistance, dedicated firm or extra firm models elsewhere in the range may provide greater surface resistance.

Vs other Hypnos mattresses in the range: The Wool Origins 8 is defined by its combination of natural wool credentials and long-term durability. Eight fleeces of Red Tractor Assured British Wool plus the Swaledale Wool Support Layer give it the deepest all-wool construction in the Wool Origins range, complemented by Adaptiv™ Comfort Springs and an 8-turn spring. For customers who want the premium temperature regulation and longevity of a wool-focused mattress with a mid-range spring specification, the Wool Origins 8 is a strong and distinctive choice.
