Last night I received a highly anticipated delivery: a Dormeo Octaspring 8500 Mattress. Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing with you mine and my husband’s thoughts on the mattress and whether it improves our sleep. To get things started, let’s discuss what exactly an Octaspring is…
Tell Me More About These Octasprings
Since the Dormeo Octaspring is something new that I have never slept on {or even seen in real life}, I felt that many of you might not be familiar with the brand or this type of mattress either. So, I wanted to do this introductory post to share how the mattress is constructed before I get into the review in a future post. After all, it might be hard to appreciate a review if you don’t know what exactly the product is..
We have all heard of coil spring mattresses and memory foam mattresses, but the Dormeo Octaspring Mattress is something quite different. In a Dormeo Octaspring mattress, Octasprings are strategically positioned to support and cradle your body’s weight. Because of this, your body is supported in a way that is superior as compared to other mattresses.
Features Of The Dormeo Octaspring 8500 Mattress
What Is The Dormeo Octaspring 8500 Mattress Made Of?
The Top Layer: This layer is made of luxurious, 3″ Memory Foam Octasprings that are divided into 3 zones.
The Middle Layer: This layer offers 5-Zoned body support with 2″ Eco-Cell® Octasprings
The Bottom Layer: This layer offers additional support, airflow and stability with 2″ Eco-cell® Octasprings
The Dormeo Octaspring Mattress offers a 1.5″ Memory Foam Comfort Layer and a durable 3″ Eco-Cell® Support Core
How Soft Is The Dormeo Octaspring Mattress?
The Dormeo Octaspring Mattress is available in 5 firmness options {5500, 6500, 8000, 8500 and 9500}. The 9500 is the softest and the 5500 is the firmest. Since my husband likes a really soft mattress and I like one with a little more support, we chose the 8500 {medium to soft supportive feel}. That is apparently a great choice because it is also the most popular one. We also chose Queen size as our last bed was a Full size, but that size can be a tight squeeze with both of us and our two little doggies. So, we stepped up the size to a Queen which still fits nicely in our bedroom.
Our Thoughts So Far
We have only slept on the Dormeo Octaspring 8500 Mattress one night so far, so please do not consider this a “review.” However, I always wake up with hip pain. Today, I did not. I seriously can not remember the last time I didn’t and, trust me, I am so happy. I also don’t remember waking up about a gazillion times as is generally what happens to me during the night. I generally go to bed somewhere between midnight and 4am {my husband gets in from work at 3am}, but I usually always wake up around 8am, regardless of what time I go to bed, because my hip is so sore. Last night I went to bed around 3am and woke up at almost 10am this morning. 7 hours of sleep! My husband also did not wake me up with his tossing and turning either. I will be sure to let you know if this continues when I write my official review. 🙂

That looks like a great mattress! It's almost time to replace ours!
I have never heard of them. I will be looking forward to hearing more on how you feel about it!
Looking at the mattress wants me to take a nap :)
We are actually looking into getting a new mattress soon. We were thinking memory foam, but we've never heard of this brand. We will have to check them out.
sold. i'd like one please. or 2 full beds. we don't need tos hare, right? :)
Bahahahaha! Love it! I seriously haven't felt the hubs roll over, fight with the pillow, whatever the heck he does that used to keep me up all night the past two nights I have slept on this new mattress. So, he could have his own bed or be on his side - I wouldn't even know the difference. Ah, blissful sleep!
Where can I get a deal on one? The 6500 is for us. Medium to firm. How do you like it?
We love the one we have. Dormeo Octaspring runs some really sweet deals on their site. Just recently, you got two of their pillows free with purchase. I would definitely keep an eye out.
I would LOVE a dormeo mattress for Christmas :) You know that middle layer of the mattress you show in your post? That is the area that our 13 year old mattress is actually sagging! right there in the middle. I cant imagine how nice it is to sleep on technological advances in mattresses. (Ours is even before memory foam - LOL) I cant wait to hear about the review.
Oh yeah, our old one was before memory foam, too! An old coil spring one. You about had to get a tetanus shot every time you slept on it, lol.
This looks really interesting. I am looking for a new mattress for our guest room.
Wow! My husband hates our mattress. I'd like to consider this when we shop for a new one. thanks.
This is such a cool mattress! I love the look of the OctoSprings!
They are cool, aren't they? I think I would like to just have one of the Octasprings to play with - like a stress ball. :)
I would love one of these for Christmas... We have had the same mattress for over seven years and could use a new one as Hubby has shoulder and hip pain...
My husband can sleep on anything but our previous mattress was killing my hip!
