Hugo Mattress Features And Benefits

Swiftly moving through the Hugo mattress review.

Let’s remove the covers and take a look at the mattress itself.

Designed for a range of sleepers and body types, the Hugo Sleep mattress might just be what you are looking for.

Hugo Mattress Layers

Consisting of natural latex and 3 layers of foam including memory, transition and high density foam, Hugo mattress provides a comfortable and supportive sleep the whole night through.

From top to bottom, here’s how these 4 layers complement one another:

1. Natural Latex

Unique and unlike its competitors, the first layer of this mattress is latex (the first layer of others are usually memory foam).

The key difference here:

It gives you enough support to make you feel you’re sinking into the mattress comfortably without the feeling that your body needs to conform to the mattress itself.

The natural latex is breathable, which removes heat whilst regulating your body temperature.

Due to the properties within this layer, the mattress is naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial, reducing bacteria.

Making it suitable for those who suffer from allergies.

Thickness of this layer: 1.5 cm

2. Memory Foam

Matching your body’s natural shape, the memory foam crafts itself to yourself, offering great comfort and pressure relief.

Thickness of this layer: 3 cm

3. Transition Foam

Offering a gentle increase in firmness:

The transition foam provides a seamless transition between the top layers and the bottom supportive layer.

Thickness of this layer: 5 cm

4. High Density Foam

The high density foam is where Hugo truly flexes his muscles.

A rock solid providing your mattress with a great foundation and excellent support.

It also ensures the longevity of the mattress.

Thickness of this layer: 15 cm

Total mattress thickness: 24.5 cm

Zero motion transfer

Another great design feature of the Hugo mattress is the localised bounce.

Meaning movement on the bed is isolated.

Meaning again:

Zero partner disturbance which will ensure your partner will always be the yin to your yang.

Hugo Mattress Materials

All these layers are held together by a thin layer of water based glue.

Which is good for both your health and the environment.

It also ensures the mattress stays cool, keeping you cool

Hugo Mattress Firmness

The mattress itself is firm but not hard.

Whilst providing supportive and comfort, we gave it a firmness rating of 7/10.

Hugo Mattress For Back Pain

Hugo is a humble guy.

He doesn’t like to brag.

That’s why you won’t find him mentioning how the mattress cures back pain for people who sleep on it.

But his customers love to brag:

Many have mentioned how they’ve noticed less aches and pains after sleeping on the Hugo mattress.

Some even said their pains have completely gone.

Hugo Mattress Dimensions And Weight

Varying from size to size, here is an overview of the Hugo mattress specs:

Hugo Mattress Weight Limit

The Hugo mattress is suitable for people who weigh up to 120kg.

Or a combined weight of 220kg.

Mattress Care Instructions

What’s the best way to care for Hugo Mattress?

Is a mattress protector needed?

As the Hugo mattress cover is not removable, we highly recommend buying a mattress protector.

How to clean the Hugo mattress

If you do spill something on your mattress and get it dirty and don’t have a mattress protector on it

You can spot clean it with a light detergent.

Just be sure not to rub the area and gently dab it instead.

Also:

Give the mattress time to completely dry before placing bed sheets on it again.

Should the Hugo mattress be rotated?

Good question.

Yes it should most definitely be rotated.

Every 3 months rotate it 180 degrees.

Hugo Mattress Unboxing

How to open Hugo mattress

Delivered in a box, follow these simple instructions to unbox:

1. Cut open and remove the compressed mattress from the box 
2. Move the compressed mattress desired location
3. Cut the protective plastic across the mattress
4. Unroll the mattress into place
5. Allow the mattress to completely expand
6. Completely remove the protective plastic

How long does it take for a Hugo mattress to inflate (fully expand)

Once unboxed, the mattress will expand to 90% of its size within 1 minute.

It’ll take a few hours for the mattress to expand 10% further to its complete size.

Unboxing smell

Does the Hugo mattress have a scent when first unboxed?

Yes, initially it has a slight ‘new like smell’.

As it’s made in Australia and only boxed for a short period, the smell is minimal compared to other mattresses.

Just open a window and allow it to air out for a few hours.
