Comfort
Our customisable, double-sided Kloudcell™ comfort layer means you can choose what firmness level of work for you. It comes in a medium-firm feel but if you’re on the lookout for something a little firmer, it's as easy as unzipping and flipping the comfort layer.
Hugo was born to simplify the process of a good night sleep, not make things more confusing. That's why we work with experts to make one amazing mattress. We know you're going to love it. He's the perfect mix of natural latex, contouring memory foam & high density support foam. Natural Latex Hugo's natural latex is amazing. It's breathable so you stay cool at night, it's naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial to reduce bacteria. Oh, and it's super comfy. Nice one, science. Memory Foam Memory Foam matches your body's natural contours. Excellent for pressure relief and comfort. NASA worked on it for years, which is probably why the whole living-on-Mars thing is still a way off.
Support
To help create an ideal foundation for sleeping, 3 targeted high-density precision cut support zones are designed to take the pressure off. No matter what position you prefer, overall it helps make a better sleeping experience.
We discovered two main factors that create the perfect night sleep; keeping your spine aligned and regulating your body temperature. The use of memory foam and latex consistently achieved the best results during user trials, proving their place as the highest rated materials in mattress construction. That's why we made Hugo with the optimum balance of both. Transition Foam Hugo's transition layer provides a seamless journey between the top two comfort layers and the bottom support layer. This gentle increase in foam density helps give Hugo that floating feeling. High Density Foam Hugo's rock solid base is a high-density foam foundation, providing you with incredible support and longevity. Unlike inner-springs, he will never stab you in the back. He's a good guy like that.
