The Eve Mattress was brought to us by UK-based sleep company Eve Sleep who utilized notable London designers and their own UK factory to make their comfortable, all-accommodating foam mattress. And although we’re based in the United States, we consider ourselves mattress experts and were happy to test it out for our oversea readers who are interested in what it has to offer. In this Eve Mattress review, we’ll discuss the highlights of this bed, who it suits most, and who might want to look elsewhere.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Eve Sleep has pulled out of the U.S. market. If you live outside of the US, you can likely still get an Eve mattress. If you are in the U.S., we suggest checking our picks for the best bed in a box mattresses or these eve mattress alternatives.

What Is The Eve Mattress Made Of?
Eve is an entirely foam mattress, with a classic, cozy, memory foam feel. As you can see in the graphic below, it’s 9.5″ thick in total and consists of three layers:
- Top layer: 2” layer of Eve’s “new-generation” memory foam
- Middle layer: 1” layer of responsive memory foam
- Bottom layer: 18 cm layer of Eve’s “Support Foam” (which is essentially dense polyurethane foam)
All of the foam in the Eve mattress have been inspected by CertiPUR, which means (among other things) that they have been tested numerous times to ensure that there are no harmful chemicals in the mattress. Also, the Eve mattress complies with the British Standards for fire safety because the beds are made in the UK.
Mattress Cover And Care
The Eve foam mattress has a hip and unique cover, unlike most beds on the market (besides Purple) who usually sticks with a neutral color. It’s bright yellow around the perimeter of the bed, and the top is white with a honeycomb pattern stitched in.
What’s great about this cover, though, is that it’s removable and machine washable. You only have to remove the top panel, not the surrounding yellow material. Eve’s website specifically states that you must wash this top panel at 40°C, and then let it air dry.
You can also get a mattress protector on Eve’s website, which is 100% cotton and spill-proof because it has a Neotherm coating. The mattress protector can also help with keeping out dust mites or bed bugs. It’s made like a fitted sheet, so you can slip it on top of the Eve bed. However, it is a little on the pricier side.
Firmness And Feel
Overall, Eve is about a medium to medium-firm on the soft to firm scale. This depends on your weight and height, but for the average person, that’s what you can expect.
As is fairly standard with memory foam, Eve foam is going to be slow in terms of responsiveness, which means you might see an imprint stick around for a couple seconds after you apply pressure to the bed. This is why it feels like the material sucks you in and hugs you, though not in an overwhelming way.
Because the bed is around a medium-firm, you’re only going to slightly get that stuck-in-the-mud feeling that typically accompanies memory foam mattresses. You can see in the video below that the material remembers its prior shape—this is a hallmark of memory foam (hence the name).
What Does Eve Mattress Feel Like?
As for the overall feel of the bed, it feels like what it is: an all-foam bed with a memory foam top layer.
Is Eve A Good Mattress For Couples?
The Eve mattress is a good option for couples due to its strong edge support and motion isolation, two key attributes that are important if you share your bed with a loved one (family or animal, we don’t judge).
Edge Support
Edge support isn’t outstanding in most foam mattresses, but it won’t be a concern with Eve. We doubt you’ll find yourself falling over the edge of your bed. If you want to know a little more about how we test out edge support, check out our blog post about it!
Motion Isolation
Usually all-foam beds are good in terms of deadening cross-mattress motion and Eve is no different. The memory foam layers do a great job of absorbing movement and preventing it from transferring throughout the mattress.
When we performed our motion isolation test, the Guinness cup hardly moved when Jeff rolled around on it. This is a good simulator for how someone would move on a mattress, and there is hardly any motion being transferred.
Eve Sleeper Types
As with any mattress, the way that Eve feels on your body will depend on how you sleep. Here’s how the mattress will work for side, back, stomach and combo sleepers.
Body Type Analysis
In addition to your sleeper type, your weight also affects how a bed will feel to you. Find your body type and see if Eve will be a good fit.
Eve Mattress Price And Coupon Code
Eve was made to be a comfortable memory foam mattress at an affordable price. On MSRP alone, this bed is more affordable than similar mattresses from Leesa and Casper, and Eve typically also offers major promotions that cut prices. Here’s a breakdown of the pre-discount pricing for the Eve mattress.
Because Eve is a UK-based company, its bed sizes differ from mattresses in the US, and prices appear in British pounds rather than US dollars.
| SIZE | PRICE |
|---|---|
| UK Single (90 cm x 190 cm) | £399 (about $520) |
| Small Double (120 cm x 190 cm) | £599 (about $780) |
| UK Double (135 cm x 190 cm) | £649 (about $850) |
| UK King (150 cm x 200 cm) | £749 (about $980) |
| Super King (180 cm x 200 cm) | £849 (about $1,110) |
| Emperor (200 cm x 200 cm) | £849 (about $1,110) |
As you can see in the table above, Eve is not expensive. If you know you like memory foam mattresses and are more price conscious, Eve is a nice option.
Eve Sleep Temperature Regulation
Eve is meant to hug around your body to make you feel cozy. There is going to be some emanated body heat with this, which the memory foam material will then absorb. It doesn’t have any technology that will actively cool you down either. So yes, Eve does sleep on the warmer side.
Eve Mattress Review Verdict
We’ve gone through a lot in this Eve review, but here’s what it all boils down to:
- Eve is a great option for anyone who’s on a budget and wants a memory foam bed.
- It is not the best bed for linebackers or anyone over 250 lb, but medium and petite sized people should be fine.
- Eve is accommodating for all sleeping positions, including side, back, stomach and combo.
- It’s also a viable option for couples.
- One detail that stands out is their removable and machine washable cover.
- The price point is hard to beat.
Other Eve Mattress Reviews
- Amazon Reviews: Eve is no longer available on Amazon, but older reviews were mixed, and the bed averaged 3.3 stars. Some buyers said that Eve changed their sleep for the better, while others thought it was too firm and slept too hot.
Eve Mattress Alternatives
Because Eve no longer ships to the United States, American customers should check out these alternatives instead.

How Will My Eve Mattress Arrive?
It was sent to us by Eve Sleep; however, we are under no precondition to provide positive or negative comments about this bed.
It should! If you’re going to use a slatted base with your Eve mattress, they recommend that the gaps don’t exceed more than 3 inches apart. If you plan on using Eve with an adjustable bed, they recommend you leave the bed flat when it’s not in use. This will help protect your warranty.
Eve Mattress is manufactured in the UK.
Not anymore. Eve used to ship to the US, but now it only delivers to the UK, Ireland, and France.
The cover can be removed and machine washed at (or below) medium heat.
As long as you’re within the initial 100-night trial period, you can get a full refund on your mattress order. This costs you nothing. Eve sends out a local collection service to pick your bed up.
