The Origin Hybrid is a 26cm medium-firm hybrid with five-zone pocket springs under a washable zip-off pillow top, Origin's lowest-priced mattress.
The Origin Hybrid is a 26cm, six-layer hybrid with five-zone pocket springs under a zip-off pillow top, and at £265 for a single it is the cheapest mattress Origin sells in the UK. Origin rates the feel between 6 and 7 out of 10 depending on your weight, a medium-firm surface aimed at back sleepers and couples who want a spring mattress without paying hybrid-flagship prices.
The layers below are the ones Origin lists on its Origin Hybrid product page, using Origin’s own names.
| Layer | Material | Job |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | HexAdapt pillow top in a SnowTencel cover | Zips off, machine washable at 40°C |
| 2 | Bamboo-infused wool | Cushioning and moisture wicking |
| 3 | HexaGrid polymer layer | Open honeycomb comfort layer |
| 4 | Gel-infused IceCool foam | Pressure relief |
| 5 | ErgoCoil pocket springs, 5 zones | Support; up to 3,000 springs |
| 6 | DuraCore high-density foam base | Foundation and D-2 edge support |
Origin says its hybrid mattresses are crafted in the UK. The page still carries an older layer block that quotes 2,040+ springs; we use the current specification above.
| UK size | Dimensions (cm) | Net weight | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 90 x 190 x 26 | 21.8kg | £265 |
| Small double | 120 x 190 x 26 | 29.0kg | £356 |
| Double | 135 x 190 x 26 | 31.4kg | £410 |
| King | 150 x 200 x 26 | 37.2kg | £440 |
| Super king | 180 x 200 x 26 | 46.0kg | £531 |
Prices are Origin’s regular prices at the time of writing (September 2026). The crossed-out “total value” figure on Origin’s page adds the free pillows it bundles, so it is not a previous selling price.
Origin builds the cooling into the comfort layers rather than adding a separate cooling panel. Bamboo-infused wool sits under the SnowTencel cover to wick moisture, the HexaGrid layer is an open honeycomb, and the IceCool foam is gel-infused. Below that, a pocket spring core leaves far more room for air to move than a solid foam block.
The five spring zones give a little more under the shoulders and hold the hips, which is why back sleepers and most side sleepers are well served. The 6 to 7 rating also lines up with the evidence: in a Lancet trial of 313 adults with chronic low-back pain (Kovacs et al., 2003), medium-firm mattresses beat firm ones for pain in bed and on rising after 90 days. Very light side sleepers may want the plusher Hybrid Pro.
Origin includes a 200-night trial with a full refund, a 15-year warranty and free next-day delivery to UK mainland addresses on orders placed before 9am. Taking away your old mattress is a £54 add-on at checkout.

“The Origin Hybrid gives you zoned pocket springs, a washable pillow top and a 15-year warranty for less than many all-foam mattresses. Back sleepers and couples on a budget get the most from it, while lighter side sleepers are better served by the plusher Hybrid Pro.”
