Hush Arctic Luxe Hybrid Mattress Overview

This Canadian company is known for crafting cozy weighted blankets, but the company recently added mattresses to the lineup. Made with durable coils and cloud-like foam, the Hush Arctic Luxe Hybrid mattress has a classic medium-firm feel.

But even so, I don’t expect this bed to work for every single sleeper. Below, I outlined who I think may enjoy the Hush mattress.

Pros of the Hush Arctic Luxe Mattress

• It’s great for back and stomach sleepers because it’s firmer than average and offers ample lumbar support.
• Thanks to the airflow-promoting coils and cooling cover, this is a great mattress for hot sleepers.
• It’s bouncy and easy to move around on.

Cons of the Hush Arctic Luxe Mattress?

• It’s a firmer mattress, so it doesn’t offer the best pressure relief.
• It lacks a contouring feel. If this is what you’re looking for, you may want to get one of the best memory foam mattresses.
• Side sleepers will need a softer mattress, such as the Nectar or Brooklyn Bedding Signature.

Hush Arctic Luxe Mattress Firmness and Feel

Before I explore the mattress’s unique features, let’s focus on the most important elements: firmness and feel. After reading this section, you should be able to quickly assess whether this mattress will meet all of your sleep needs.

How Firm is the Hush Arctic Luxe Mattress?

Here at Mattress Clarity, we have a firmness scale that ranges from 1-10, with 6.5/10 representing medium-firm. Most beds fall in this category, but the Hush Arctic Luxe feels slightly firmer. Based on my tests, the Hush mattress comes in at 7/10. It’s important to note, though, that I expect the mattress to soften slightly as time goes on.

Sleeping On The Hush Arctic Luxe Mattress

Thanks to its zoned support system, I felt great whenever I rested on my back. The mattress feels slightly firmer toward the center and softer near the head and foot. The result? A well-balanced feel that can help alleviate back pain.

The Hush Arctic Luxe mattress may not work for many side sleepers, because the thin memory foam comfort layers don’t offer a lot of pressure relief. When I slept on my side, I felt some pressure along my shoulder and hip. If you rest in this sleeping position, you might want to consider getting a mattress topper.

I felt great whenever I rested on my stomach. The high-density coils near the center of the mattress helped keep my hips elevated, and I didn’t develop any lower back pain.

What Does the Hush Arctic Luxe Mattress Feel Like?

Because it features bouncy coils and soft foam, the Hush Arctic Luxe Hybrid mattress has a traditional innerspring feel. Sleepers should feel plenty of support from the springs and ample pressure relief from the pillow top.

It’s easy to move around and switch sleeping positions on this mattress, so if you’re a combination sleeper, you may want to keep this one top-of-mind.

Sleeper Weight	Back Sleepers	Side Sleepers	Stomach Sleepers
Lightweight (Under 130 lb)	Excellent	Bad	Excellent
Average (130 – 230 lb)	Excellent	Fair	Good
Heavyweight (Over 230 lb)	Good	Bad	Bad

Is the Hush Arctic Luxe Mattress Good For Lightweight People (Under 130 lb)?

• This mattress works well for lightweight back sleepers, because its supportive coils help keep the back in a neutral alignment.
• Lightweight side sleepers won’t get enough pressure relief on the Hush Arctic Luxe and should consider getting a soft mattress.
• It’s a great match for lightweight stomach sleepers, because its firm feel helps keep hips elevated.

Is Is the Hush Arctic Luxe Mattress Good For Average Weight People (130 – 230 lb)?

• Average weight back sleepers should feel a great balance of comfort and support on this mattress. The zoned coils help support the lower back, while the comfort layer offers pressure relief.
• Average weight side sleepers may feel some pressure along their shoulders and hips.
• It’s a decent choice for average weight stomach sleepers, but many people in this category may need a firmer mattress.

Is the Hush Arctic Luxe Mattress Good For Heavyweight People (Over 230 lb)?

• This mattress works pretty well for heavyweight back sleepers, but those who weigh more than 300 lb may “bottom out.” Take a look at our list of the best mattresses for heavyweight people for some more options.
• Heavyweight side sleepers will compress the comfort layer quite a bit, which will make the mattress feel firm. This can cause joint pain, so it’s not a good match for people in this category.
• It’s also not a good option for heavyweight stomach sleepers. This mattress isn’t supportive enough to help people in this category maintain the proper spinal alignment. It’s possible that heavyweight stomach sleepers could develop lower back pain on the Hush Arctic Luxe.

Hush Arctic Luxe Mattress Construction

Though it has a fairly standard layout, the Hush Arctic Luxe mattress has a few unique features that make it stand out from the crowd.

Cover

On the outside of the mattress, you’ll find the Hush Iced cover. Like its name suggests, this fabric feels cool to the touch. It’s made with phase change material, which helps lower body temperatures and keep sleepers cool.

Comfort Layer

A layer of responsive memory foam sits beneath the cover, creating a plush pillow-top mattress look and feel. Because this material feels especially springy, sleepers won’t sink into the top layer. It’s important to note, however, that this foam may not provide enough pressure relief for many side sleepers.

Support Layer

Here’s where the Hush Arctic Luxe Hybrid mattress really shines. The bottom layer features Hush’s zoned support system. This is a fancy way of saying that the bed includes high-density coils toward the center and lighter coils near the top and bottom. Not only does this help prevent sagging–it also helps promote the proper spinal alignment.

Mattress Height

The Hush Arctic Luxe Hybrid mattress is 13” tall.

Hush Arctic Luxe Mattress Performance

You might be wondering how well this mattress performs in terms of cooling, edge support and motion transfer. Lucky for you, I thoroughly test each mattress and report the most in-depth information.

Sleeping Hot or Cold

Overall, the Hush Arctic Luxe mattress works well for hot sleepers. The cover contains phase change material, which is one of the best cooling fabrics available. Plus, the innerspring support layers create plenty of room for airflow.

Motion Transfer

Most innerspring mattresses don’t isolate motion particularly well, but the Hush Arctic Luxe is an exception. The individually wrapped coils absorb motion well, so if you share a bed with a partner, you’re less likely to feel the bed shake if they move around during the night.

Edge Support

If you’re looking for one of the best mattresses for couples, you’ll want to make sure the bed has great edge support. If the sides sink under pressure, you and your partner will move toward the center of the bed and have less room to spread out.

Fortunately, the Hush Arctic Luxe mattress also has good edge support. When I sat along the side, the bed only collapsed a little bit. Lying down on the mattress, I felt even more secure.

Durability

I expect the Hush Arctic Luxe mattress to last about 10 years, which is typical for most hybrid models.

Off-Gassing

When you first open a bed-in-a-box mattress, it’s common to notice a slight chemical smell. I had this experience when I unboxed the Hush Arctic Luxe. While it did smell at first, the odor faded after 48 hours.

Noise

Even though it contains coils, the Hush Arctic Luxe Hybrid mattress is completely silent.

Sex

Typically, people looking for one of the best mattresses for sex want something that’s easy to move around on. The Hush Arctic Luxe mattress definitely fits the bill. The responsive foam layers, paired with the springy coils, gives the bed a bouncy feel. You shouldn’t feel trapped in this bed like many people do on memory foam mattresses.

Company Policies

When you’re shopping for a new mattress, it’s always a good idea to completely understand the company policies. Here’s what you can expect if you order from Hush.

Warranty Info

The Hush Arctic Luxe mattress is backed by a 10-year warranty.

Sleep Trial

With the 100-night guarantee, Hush lets customers try out the mattress for several months risk-free.

Return Policy

Customers can issue a return within the first 100 days and receive a full refund.

Common Hush Mattress Complaints

Most people love their Hush mattress, but I occasionally come across some negative customer reviews. Oftentimes, people complain that the mattress feels too firm. Like all mattresses, the Hush has a short break-in period. After sleeping on it for a few weeks, the bed will soften up.

How Does the Hush Arctic Luxe Compare to Other Mattresses?

Chances are, you aren’t looking for just a good mattress. You’re searching for the one that will give the best sleep possible. In order to find that, you might need to look at several options.

To make the process easier, we compared the Hush to two other popular brands: Polysleep and Casper.

Read Polysleep Mattress Review

Even though they’re both Canadian mattresses, these beds have many differences. The Polysleep mattress is made entirely out of foam, and it has a responsive feel. The Hush Arctic Luxe mattress contains coils and foam, which makes it feel especially bouncy.

Both mattresses feel slightly firmer than average, coming in at 7/10 on our scale. However, thanks to its all-foam construction, the Polysleep provides more pressure relief for side sleepers.

The Polsyleep mattress might work better for couples, because it’s motion isolation and edge support are superb. But the Hush Arctic Luxe mattress works better for hot sleepers, thanks to its cooling cover and breathable coils.

Read Casper Original Mattress Review

Casper is one of the most popular bed-in-a-box brands in the United States, and it shares many similarities with the Hush Arctic Luxe. First of all, both beds have zoned support systems. This means that if you suffer from back pain, these mattresses may help ease the tension. These two premium mattresses also work well for hot sleepers, because they contain breathable materials.

Casper sells both hybrid and all-foam mattresses, and both options have lower price points. However, thanks to Hush’s especially strong coil system, we expect it to last a little bit longer.

The Takeaway

The Hush Arctic Luxe Hybrid is a great match for many back and stomach sleepers. It is bouncy, so it’s not hard to change positions on it. In addition, it should ease back pain. However, if you are a side sleeper, prefer a softer mattress or like a memory foam feel, you should look elsewhere.
