Dormeo Mattress Review

Dormeo has been a leading sleep expert company that’s been on the market for over 15 years. They’ve been using award-winning materials in their mattresses, like their very own memory foam, to provide an excellent sleeping experience for every sleeping position (side, stomach and back sleepers) and body type.

In this review, we will take a closer look at four of the brand’s most popular models which are: Plus Memory Foam, the S Plus Memory Foam, the Octasmart Plus and the Octasmart Hybrid Deluxe.

We’ll go over Dormeo’s details and see whether one of their mattresses is a good fit for your specific needs. We’ll cover build quality, design, pricing, sleep performance and see if there are any downsides that you should know about.

Which model should I choose?

Dormeo has been a top competitor in the bedding industry, and so are the products they put on the market. The company uses its own memory foam, known as Ecocell®, which is highly breathable and hypoallergenic.

Let’s get into each mattress individually. Below you’ll find the four most popular options sold, each with better reviews than the previous one. They are the following:

1. Plus Memory Foam

The Plus Memory mattress is what started it all, and every product after was based on it. It has a rotate-design(head to toe switch), so you don’t have to flip it.

Layers

The first layer of the Plus is a memory foam layer that uses the latest technology from the company to ensure you receive excellent pressure relief through the years. This layer provides you with the perfect balance between softness and support while moulding to your body’s curves.

Its second layer is the Ecocell® one, which is next-generation foam, designed to be permanently elastic with a 3D cellular structure in order to allow more air to flow through the bed. And for breathability, this product comes with four air vents on the sides, so you stay cool at night.

Cover

As we mentioned, the mattress consists of two memory foam layers. They are wrapped in a luxurious Florentine stitched cover with wove carbon fibres, making it incredibly suitable for an anti-allergenic sleep surface.

The brand uses anti-bacterial, anti-dust mite and anti-fungal Sanitized® protection to ensure the cover is hygienic and safe for customers.

Thickness

Altogether, this mattress is 17cm tall, where the first layer is 3cm of memory foam and the Ecocell® layer is 14cm.

2. S Plus Memory Foam

Next, we have the Dormeo S Plus, which comes with a completely customisable s-shaped Ecocell core. This product is the first-ever 100% personalised mattress that has over 30 comfort combinations. Let’s get into the specifics of it:

Layers

As a first layer, we have 2cm of memory foam that cradles your body and relieve pressure. After that, you’ll find the Ecocell® layers with the layers separated by colour. What that means is the pink side is the firmer one that provides sturdy support, while the grey one is softer and offers deeper support than the pink one.

In between the two Ecocell® layers is the mattress core, which is the Octaspring® layer, designed in an s-shape, like a human’s spine. It is eight times more breathable than traditional memory foam and allows greater airflow. The Octaspring® layer has three body zones with different strengths and densities so that you can get proper support for your head, shoulders, torso and legs.

Cover

These three layers of perfection are wrapped in a luxurious quick drying Climalite Silver cover that wicks moisture away while keeping you dry and clean at night. It also includes Dormeo’s Sanitized® protection, ensuring a hygienic and healthy sleeping surface. The cover has handles on the sides for easy manoeuvrability as well.

Thickness

The Dormeo S Plus Memory Foam option is 20cm thick, meaning a standard fitted sheet will get the job done.

3. Octasmart Plus Memory Foam

Another excellent suggestion is Dormeo’s Octasmart Plus Memory Foam Mattress that leaves 50% less of an environmental footprint. This fantastic option is 100% recyclable and free from harmful chemicals and emissions (OEKO-TEX Certified).

Layers

First, we have an open cell memory foam layer, cradling to your unique body shape while relieving pressure points. After it, we have the Octaspring® layer with hundreds of Octasprings that work together to alleviate pressure from your back, hips and shoulders.

This product is eight times more breathable than a standard bed due to the Octavent™ air system, which reduces your mattress temperature by up to 3 C and allows for better airflow. The Octasprings are arranged in 3 different body zones for the ultimate customised support. Finally, you’ll find the Ecocell® foam layer with its permanent 3D structure, creating a solid base for your mattress.

Cover

This three-layered design bed comes with a smart performance cover that consists of hundreds of comfortable built-in pockets for optimum air circulation and a superior sleeping surface. The smart cover is also easily removable and can be machine washed and dry cleaned.

Thickness

Altogether the Octasmart Plus is 17cm thick. There is a 2cm memory foam layer, 3cm Ecocell foam layer, 9cm Octaspring layer and the 3cm Ecocell base foam layer.

4. Octasmart Hybrid Deluxe

The Octasmart Hybrid Deluxe is the smartest mattress the brand has created. This is also a green option, with it being 100% recyclable and also OEKO-TEX Certified. Join us, and let’s take a closer look:

Layers

Whatever your body size or preferred sleeping position, you’ll get good support from this mattress. This option is made with three layers of smart technology. Just like the Octasmart Plus, it is eight times more breathable than its competitors.

The top layer is made from luxurious memory foam that soft yet supportive and comfortable. Next, we have the well-known Ecocell base layer and smart Octaspring® layer as its core with hundreds of springs arranged in 3 different body zones supporting your shoulders, back and hips in just the right way.

Cover

The Hybrid Deluxe also has a smart performance cover consisting of hundreds of comfort pockets that bring extra freshness and allow for optimum air circulation. The set smart cover is easily removable, machine washable or dry cleaned.

Thickness

The Octasmart Hybrid Deluxe is 19 cm thick.

How firm is the Dormeo mattress?

Mattress firmness is crucial to your sleeping experience, which is why Dormeo has designed products that are supportive and comfortable at the same time. Since people have different preferences, the brand has provided various solutions to our sleeping problems.

Three out of four beds (Memory Plus, Octasmart Plus and Octasmart Hybrid Deluxe) come with a medium feel, which is a 6 out of 10, with one being the softest and ten being the firmest. Lastly, we have the Dormeo S Plus Memory Foam, which is a firm suggestion with multiple comfort variations. The S Plus is split into two sides, one for each sleeper so they can both pick their preferences

Design

Since Dormeo has a wide range of products, each collection or range features a unique top cover that has built-in materials and added padding to give you a plush sleep surface. Two of our reviewed options are from the same range, thus they have a similar design and pattern.

• Memory Plus – features a luxurious Florentine stitched cover that has woven carbon fibres. Its sides are a soft cream, and the top is patterned with grey lines.
• S Plus  – features a simple, elegant design with black sides and a luxurious white top.
• Octasmart Range – features a fresh, luxurious and soft-feel white top cover, where the side are separated by a slick orange stripe and a grey bottom cover.

How long is the free trial period?

Choosing a mattress by laying on it in a store for ten minutes won’t get the job done since your body needs four to six weeks to adjust. That’s where trials periods come in and help you decide whether a mattress is the right one for you or not.

Dormeo offers a 60-night comfort trial in which you have time to decide and test your purchase. If you don’t end up liking it for some reason, the manufacturer will collect it and give you a full refund.

How long is the warranty?

Another essential aspect when buying a mattress is its warranty, and in this case, Dormeo offers either 15 or 18 years of guarantee. Warranties protect your purchase against time and ensure their longevity. The Memory Plus and S Plus Memory Foam Mattress come with a 15-year warranty. Whereas the Octasmart Plus Memory Foam and the Hybrid  Deluxe Mattress have an 18-year guarantee.

However, Dormeo reserves the right not to honour claims under this guarantee at their discretion. Let’s talk about the situations in which it applies and when it doesn’t:
