Firmness: Medium soft · 200-night sleep trialThe OTTY Pure Hybrid is a 25cm, 6.5/10 medium-firm hybrid with bamboo and charcoal memory foam over 2,000 tall pocket springs.
The OTTY Pure Hybrid Bamboo Mattress with Charcoal is a 25cm hybrid that keeps the Original Hybrid’s 2,000-spring unit and swaps its comfort foams for memory foam infused with bamboo and charcoal. OTTY rates it 6.5 out of 10, a touch softer than the Original’s 7, and it starts at £524.99 for a single and £649.99 for a double (September 2026).
The OTTY product page lists six layers. The embroidered cover itself holds 2cm of bamboo and charcoal memory foam, and it is removable and washable, unlike the dry-clean cover on the Original. The springs, reflex foam and base are the same as the Original’s, so the difference you feel comes from the top two layers.
| Layer | Material | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Embroidered cover with 2cm bamboo and charcoal memory foam | Soft surface, removable and washable |
| 2 | Bamboo and charcoal memory foam | Pressure relief, temperature regulation |
| 3 | High-density reflex foam | Support above the springs |
| 4 | Up to 2,000 encapsulated pocket springs, 16cm tall | Main support, low motion transfer |
| 5 | Airflow foam side supports | Edge support and ventilation |
| 6 | High-density base foam | Stable foundation |
OTTY says the bamboo and charcoal wick away moisture and absorb odours, and describes the mattress as antibacterial and hypoallergenic; those are manufacturer claims. The spring core and the Airflow side supports are shared with the Original, so for a warm sleeper the practical differences are the bamboo and charcoal comfort foams and a cover you can wash.
At 6.5 out of 10, the Pure suits back sleepers, combination sleepers and side sleepers of average weight who find 7/10 slightly too hard. Couples get the same individually wrapped 16cm springs as in the Original. Lighter side sleepers who want more sink at the shoulder should look at the Pure+ at 5.5 out of 10, and people over about 15 stone at the Extra Firm.

“The Pure is the OTTY we would choose for a warm sleeper who likes the Original's support. It swaps the comfort foams for bamboo and charcoal memory foam, adds a washable cover and starts at £524.99. Front sleepers and anyone over 15 stone will want something firmer than its 6.5/10.”Go to shop →
