The Heveya® organic latex mattress range is available for all members of the family and customised to any (and we mean any!) size. Using natural organic latex, you’ll get excellent support for the spine, and with no synthetic foam, metal springs or glue, there are zero nasties here!

These organic, hypoallergenic, mattresses are also ideal for Hong Kong’s humid weather, as latex is breathable and naturally mould and dust mite resistant. Together with removable covers for easy cleaning, those sensitive to allergens are also sorted. There’s even a 100 days free trial! Now that’s what we call dreamy.

Cocoonababy®
As a parent to a newborn, sleep quickly becomes something of a rare commodity, unless your bubba is an excellent sleeper from the start (here’s hoping!). But even if your baby is a great sleeper, you’ll want your little one to be as comfortable and safe as possible while in the land of nod. Developed by a paediatric physiotherapist for babies in hospitals and clinics in France, Cocoonababy® has been designed specifically with baby’s sleep and body development in mind.
Cocoonababy® has been tried and tested (and complies with French bedding and safety regulations) to be used from birth to three months of age. Babies adopt a semi-foetal position with legs slightly raised in a cosy and relaxing environment, mimicking their position in the womb for a smooth transition to the outside world. It helps to limit GERD (when stomach acid flows back into the tube connecting the mouth and stomach) and eases intestinal transit (colic baby anyone?), encourages balanced development as movement isn’t restricted, reduces the risk of plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) thanks to the special layers and density of the foam, and improves the quality and length of baby’s (and therefore your!) sleep. Sounds good? You can find Cocoonababy® across the city from retailers such as Sogo, Mothercare, Babycentral, HKTVmall, Petit Tippi, Mothercourt and more. For more information see how Cocoonababy® works and how to use it.

How To Choose The Right Mattress
Choosing the right mattress is a bit of a Goldilocks situation. You might want a mattress that’s not too firm or bouncy, that shouldn’t trap heat. Perhaps you want cooling gel, one that doesn’t creak at all and any odours are non-negotiable.
No matter your preferences, finding a good mattress is the ultimate path to perfect hibernating. It boils down to your size, weight, posture and whether or not you have neck and back issues. To help in your search, here’s what to look out for:
Make comfort your priority. And it depends on a variety of factors – your sleep position, body weight, firmness and material of the mattress. The best mattress for you does not have to be the most popular choice.
Mattresses can be divided into four major types: foam (memory foam, polyfoam or a combo of these), latex, innerspring and hybrid (a mix of foam and springs).
Extra-firm isn’t always the right choice for people with back issues. A recent Harvard study found that extra hard mattresses might make for the poorest sleep quality. Medium-firm with enough support gravitating towards the firmer end of the spectrum might be the optimum choice here.
Side sleepers need a plush, breathable layer. A softer or a medium-firm mattress will eliminate the nightly tossing.
Back sleepers need firmer support for their neck and back, a medium-firm to a firm mattress free of dips and uneven areas will help them snooze peacefully.
When trying out a mattress in a store, lie on your side. Does your spine feel aligned? Are your shoulders and hips are sinking? If that’s the case, the mattress is probably too soft for you. If you feel the slightest bit uncomfortable on it in the store, it’s probably not the right pick for you.
Firmness levels aren’t standard – one brand’s extra-firm might be another’s medium-firm. Lie down on a mattress in the store before involving your wallet.
Need a crib mattress so your baby sleeps like, well, a baby? Buy a waterproof, firm spring mattress with a relatively higher coil count (more steel coils = more supportive) in natural, organic materials. No potentially harmful chemicals anywhere near our angels, right? A double-sided mattress might be more expensive (a firmer infant side and a softer toddler side) but they last longer and save you the misery of upgrading as your tot grows up.
Plan your budget and stick to it. Some mattresses have eyewatering prices.
Secondhand is a no-no. But if you do go for a preloved option, find out about the history of the mattress because moulds and dust mites are the kind of bacteria nightmare you never want to experience!
Mattress buying is a very personal, time-consuming experience. Goldilocks picked the smallest, most intimate mattress for the best sleep, ignoring the bigger, grander choices – but, hey, that worked for her!

Ecosa Mattress
Snooze peacefully even if your partner tosses and turns throughout the night! Launched in 2015, this is an Aussie-brand founded by Hong Kong-born entrepreneur, Ringo Chan. Ecosa created quite a stir after they put the mattress through the wine glass test to demonstrate its zero motion isolation (see for yourself). Ecosa also falls in the “mattress in a box” category which has lately been gaining a lot of traction. Made from various layers of memory foam, it is waterproof (mamas with littles will love this feature), breathable and as an added bonus, has a soft, smooth polyester fabric cover on top that can be completely zipped open for washing.

Founders, husband-and-wife, Rick Chen and Stephanie Huen, use the same mattress manufacturer as top city hotels, Four Seasons and The Peninsula! If money is no object, buy a bed too (a king-size bed costs $9,800, while regular mattresses start at $4,900). The bed and mattress should guarantee silky, smooth slumber night after night.

The top layer creates air circulation so even if the kids and cats are pouncing on you on a Saturday morning, you will not feel any overheating.

Skyler
Two besties from primary school, Jason Da Rosa and Alex Ma Kin-heng quit their banking career together to start an online mattress-in-a-box brand, Skyler. Cutting the showroom rentals and salesmen to offer a premium five-star hotel level mattress at a fraction of the cost of established brands. The founders spent 20,000 hours getting the mattress tested by regular Hong Kongers to come up with a jewel of a design. And the mattress does live up to the hype! The top fabric is so luxuriously soft, you feel like floating on the clouds. I personally use this and love the dreamy sense of luxury it offers. It’s the right amount of soft yet firm, my husband has a bad back but since our purchase, he’s never woken up in pain, it comes with an anti-dust mite washable cover which is handy in case of food spillage. It’s boxed in a compact case with wheels and handles, easy to manoeuvre in Hong Kong’s cramped apartment lifts, has a 10-year warranty and a 100-night free trial.

Tempur
In the 1960s, NASA engineers developed the Tempur foam to alleviate the G-force endured by astronauts during take-offs and landings. By the early 70s, scientists felt this material – a type of dense memory foam – would be perfect for medical purposes and started sourcing it to the healthcare industry. After decades of trials for adaptability, Danish scientists perfected this material for sleeping and thus was born the Tempur mattress. Balanced comfort and support, the material has evolved to give an unparalleled, uninterrupted snooze experience. The mattress cannot be washed or dry-cleaned so you have to give it proper ventilation. It comes with a 10-year warranty but read the elaborate disclaimers thoroughly before making a purchase. It’s tough to dry once soaked or wet, and this will also reduce functionality permanently. Though it’s a luxe product, it might not be ideal for families with younger children.
