The Arrival 

The Hush Arctic Luxe Hybrid mattress is available for purchase online, offering free shipping within Canada’s ten provinces; however, fees do apply for some remote locations. The mattress arrives within 3–10 business days in a box that requires two people to lift.

The Unboxing

Like other bed-in-a-box mattresses, Hush is simple to unpack. Simply unseal the top of the black-coloured box to remove the compressed mattress inside. Once unboxed, the mattress fully expands to its intended 13-inch height within a few minutes.

The Look 

Like its Canadian counterpart, Logan & Cove, the Hush mattress has a pillow-top construction. This fine detail is a mark of luxury as it takes more material and labour to produce than standard Euro-top covers, so many mattress companies are unwilling to add the extra expense. The mattress has a black border design, with adjustment handles sewn into all four sides of the mattress and the Hush nameplate sewn onto its front sidewall. Up top, the white tufted cover emphasizes the softness of the sleep surface.

The Feel 

The Hush mattress has a medium-firm feel, though slightly on the firm side. It still allows some sinkage across the mattress thanks to its built-in pillow-top. The mattress loses its firmness around the edges despite a layer of edge support foam, as we will elaborate on in the section below. Finally, Hush’s cover is cool to the touch.

The following results were determined by licensed 3rd-party engineers, commissioned by us:

Hush Mattress Layers

The Hush mattress is made up of five separate layers, combining different types of foam and metal coils to create the mattress’ unique feel and firmness. Though Hush does not publicly list all of its layer details, this information is available upon request.

• First layer: 0.75″ Super Soft polyurethane foam with gel. Sewn into the pillow-top beneath some fibre fill, this top layer provides a cushiony landing, along with some cooling properties. Foam density: Unspecified.

• Second layer: 1 inch of gel memory foam. This layer helps create a contouring effect, providing some “hug” and additional heat dissipation. Foam density: Unspecified.

• Third layer: 1 inch of polyurethane foam. This final layer of the pillow-top serves as a supportive base for the two layers above. Foam density: Unspecified.

• Fourth layer: 1 inch of polyurethane foam. This additional layer of polyurethane actions as a transition zone between the pillow-top above and the steel coils below. Foam density: Unspecified.

• Fifth layer: 8 inches of zoned pocketed coils. This bottom support layer is divided into three zones to assist with spinal alignment. The coils flex independently, helping to minimize motion transfer. This bottom layer is surrounded by a four-inch wall of edge support foam.

Of Note: Hush claims that their mattress includes phase-change material, a thin graphite layer, and “food-grade soy byproduct materials”; however, they do not disclose where in the mattress these materials reside.

Hush Cover

The quilted top cover of the Hush Arctic Luxe Hybrid mattress is made from petroleum-based polyethylene, with 1% spandex for stretch. This white polymer fabric is further infused with a cooling agent to make it feel cool to the touch. The quilting and button-tufting advertise the softness of the sleep surface.

The sidewalls are covered in black upholstery with accent stitching. Fabric handles are sewn into the sides of the cover to assist with rotating the mattress and adjusting it into place on the bed frame.

Care Instructions

Please note that the cover of the Hush mattress is not removeable. The company recommends spot-cleaning the mattress with a solution of baking soda and vinegar, being careful not to use detergent as that may harm the cooling properties of the cover.

Years before they ever sold their first mattress, the Hush Blankets company rose to prominence by selling weighted blankets. Their popular blanket was well-positioned in 2017 to ride the weighted blanket trend, quickly becoming one of the most popular weighted blankets on the market. Appearances on CBC’s Dragon’s Den and writeups in the Toronto Star helped to capture the attention of Sleep Country, who purchased a majority share of the company in 2021.

In August of 2021, the blanket company expanded their catalog with the introduction of the first Hush mattress.

We hire 3rd-party engineers and use public data to rate mattresses on over 25 criteria.

The Hush Arctic Luxe Hybrid ($1,195+) is a mattress with a number of admirable qualities. It has a cool-to-the-touch pillow-top that provides gentle contouring. It has a zoned steel coils that reduce motion transfer and support spinal alignment. And the company offers free returns anytime between the 30^th and 100^th night after delivery.

But what’s difficult to overlook is its high price.

Mattresses that sell in the premium price segment need to offer something special that sets the brand apart from its lower-cost alternatives. If not, why would you ever pay that much? That defining element could be luxury materials, like high-density memory foam. It could be bespoke service with a lifetime warranty. Or it could even be the prestigious brand name itself that justifies the higher price.

But what you cannot do – especially in an industry as competitive as the online mattress industry – is have the highest price AND be outcompeted on features and service.

With competitors like Logan & Cove who strike such a compelling offer in comparison, it’s difficult to recommend Hush’s hybrid mattress.

In fact, this exceptional value is why we named Logan & Cove our Best Hybrid Mattress for 2024.
