October is World Menopause Month and one of the key symptoms of this life stage are sudden, intense waves of heat. When hot flushes happen, it's important that you're able to cool your body — especially during the night and your sleep is disturbed.
That's why I, a chronic hot sleeper in her 40s, was keen to test the Original Ice Hybrid mattress, a bed that's been crafted with reliable temperature regulation at the forefront of its design. As I've already tested the Otty Hybrid Mattress, I was keen to see how the cooling upgrade compares to the hugely popular original.
In addition to sleeping on it for three weeks, I’ve tested the Original Ice Hybrid on performance across all key areas including motion isolation, cooling, pressure relief and edge support. But if you’re in a hurry to note the highlights, here’s my review in brief.

Having previously reviewed the mid-price range Otty Original Hybrid, I was keen to see how it compares to the Otty Original Ice Hybrid, which is marginally more expensive.
While there’s a wide range of medium-support mattress options in the Tom’s Guide best mattress edit, what makes the Ice Hybrid design stand out is its cool-to-the-touch cover. This thick knit cover has been specially designed to wick away heat while you sleep, helping to keep your temperatures comfortably regulated while you sleep.
