Should you go with an eco-friendly bed or an affordable one? With Happsy, you don’t need to choose. They’ve found a way to bring eco-friendly and organic materials to you for a lower than average price range. With a model that focuses on a comfortable and chemical-free experience, this bed is certainly unique in the world of innerspring mattresses.
Our in-depth Happsy mattress review will show you all the ways this bed stands out, from its certified organic materials to its cooling and pressure-relieving technology. Though an optional pillow-top that includes an extra two inches of latex is available, we reviewed the standard mattress, which we think the largest variety of people will prefer.
We have all the details queued up, but feel free to jump ahead to the scoring and summary sections.
Who Do We Think Matches With Happsy?
- Eco-friendly Folks – Happsy goes above and beyond to ensure the use of safe and sustainable materials and business practices from start to finish. The wool, cotton, and latex are all certified organic by strict, third-party evaluators, and they’ve eliminated all adhesives and flame retardants from their products.
- Shoppers on a Budget – Natural latex and organic materials are often an expensive investment. To keep their prices low, Happsy uses Dunlop latex, which involves a less expensive manufacturing process, and they pass along their savings to shoppers.
- Hot Sleepers – Latex, wool, and cotton are some of the most breathable bedding materials out there, and combined with an innerspring base, Happsy should keep most sleepers cool.
Possible Happsy Complaints:
- People Who Prefer All Foam – This bed includes an innerspring base, which adds to the bounce, support, and airflow of the bed. Those who prefer a dense foam with little to no bounce might want to add the extra pillow-top for more pressure relief.
Construction: What’s Inside Happsy?
The soft, organic cotton cover is quilted to a quarter-inch layer of organic wool on the top and cotton batting on the sides. The wool acts as an all-natural flame retardant that also wicks away moisture and helps keep the body feeling cool and fresh. You can remove the cover, which is convenient for spot cleaning.
The bed is made of two different layers and stands 10 inches tall.
- The first layer is a 2-inch layer of certified organic Dunlop latex sourced from India or Sri Lanka. The naturally breathable material is aerated for additional temperature regulation, and the quick-responding material conforms to your shape to relieve pressure while providing a surface-level bounce..
- The second layer is an 8-inch pocketed-coil system that gives the bed its structure and shape. These coils support the sleeper’s spinal alignment while helping to reduce motion transfer and heat retention. Reinforced coils around the edges help to better secure your weight when sitting or lying on the sides.
First Impression: How Does It Feel?
Happsy is delivered straight to your door rolled into a box, so it might take some time for it to inflate and reach its full shape, though this period shouldn’t be as long as traditional foams. The bed is best used on a flat base, like a platform or slatted frame, so long as the slats are no more than two or three inches apart. It’s also adjustable base compatible.
Happsy normally features an attractive EuroTop design with an unbleached organic cotton cover. The cotton is soft to the touch and adds a layer of breathable comfort to the top of the mattress with a unique diamond-shaped pattern sewn into the fabric. It’s important to remember that Happsy offers a pillow-top option you can add to the mattress for additional comfort.
Laying down on the bed, it’s about a medium firmness, and you should notice a gentle cradle from the comfort layer. Pushing into the bed, you should feel a quick response time for easy repositioning and lots of bounce. Though there are only a few inches of latex, you shouldn’t feel the coils, even when pushing hard into the bed, which is good news for heavier sleepers.
Firmness Scale: 6.5/10
Pressure Relief
The average sleeper should feel the individually wrapped coils support your curves while the layer of latex relieves your pressure points. The aerated latex should be springy and responsive for easy repositioning while gently cradling pressure points, especially for back and stomach sleepers.
Combined with the pocketed coil system, the bed is meant to relieve pressure where you need it without losing support. Those who want a little extra comfort might want to opt for the additional pillow-top cover. This should give you a few extra inches of pressure relief, though the softness of the bed should be adequate for most sleepers without the topper.
Support
Happsy doesn’t use zoned support because they believe every sleeper is different and all have different needs. Instead, they rely on their pocketed coils to support you where you need it the most and relieve pressure where you don’t
The 8-inch coil layer is reinforced around the edges for additional support when you lay close to or sit on the edge of the mattress. As the coils are individually pocketed and compress across a wide surface area and rather offer targeted support to keep your spine in alignment. Though the bed is of average firmness, it should do a good job of supporting most body types.
Preference-based Features
Bed-in-a-box
Happsy ships free in the continental United States and arrives compressed and rolled into a box. After opening it, the bed should be ready for sleeping in 30 minutes, though it may take a few days to fully let out all of the wrinkles from packaging. The good news is there shouldn’t be an off-gassing period like in foam beds.
Euro Top
With a sleek Euro-top design, Happsy is attractive and supportive, though you have the option of adding a pillow-top cover for more support. The company also offers an organic latex topper that adds further pressure relief for those who need it.
Cooling
Latex combined with innersprings is a great recipe for cool sleeping. As air can flow freely through the coils, aerated latex, and the breathable cotton cover, hot sleepers should be able to rejoice the return of sweat-free rest.
High Bounce
Latex is bouncy alone, but when combined with pocketed innerspring coils, this bed should be great for sexually active couples, pillow fights, and fast repositioning in your sleep.
Eco-Conscious Materials
Happsy is passionate about creating clean, green, and sustainable business practices, which reflects in the company’s product. It uses all certified organic cotton, recycled metal for the springs, and certified organic Dunlop latex. There’s even a zipper so you can look into the base for yourself and verify that the company doesn’t use any adhesives or glue to keep it together.
Adjustable Base Compatible
So long as the base is solid or features close together slats, Happsy should be compatible with most adjustable bases for a customized sleeping position.

Overall Summary
Happsy is an extremely eco-friendly hybrid bed with a surprising amount of comfort features for its price range. We think it’s a great option for those who like latex and innerspring beds.
Side Sleepers
3/5
Latex is a great pressure reliever, and combined with the pocketed coils, most side sleepers would probably be fine on this bed. However, heavier side sleepers may be better off adding the additional pillow-top addition or adding the latex mattress topper for added pressure relief.
Back Sleepers
4/5
With pocketed coils and responsive latex, this bed should be great for most back sleepers, offering targeted support through the coils with responsible pressure relief through the latex. As it is a medium firmness, it should be soft enough for those who like pressure relief with enough support to keep the spine properly aligned.
Stomach Sleepers
4/5
Most sleepers should experience a high level of comfort when stomach sleeping on this mattress. Because the coils support the hips without creating a crater near pressure points, it should do a great job at keeping the spine aligned.
Combination Sleepers
4/5
Latex is usually a great choice for combination sleepers because the material is responsible enough to make repositioning easy. As most sleeping positions should be well supported on Happsy, the bed should be an easy choice for eco-friendly combination sleepers.
Couples
5/5
With reinforced edges, this bed should have no issues supporting two people, even with a limited surface area. Additionally, most couples will probably find that the bounce from coils and latex are better for sex. As a bonus, the pocketed coils should help isolate motion across the bed.
Heavy Sleepers
3/5
While this bed should be suitable for most sleepers, with just one layer of latex for pressure relief, the company doesn’t recommend the bed for individuals over 400 pounds.
Light-Weight Sleepers
4/5
Lightweight sleepers should sleep well on Happsy, as the latex should be just soft enough to allow them to feel pressure relief while enjoying the benefits of the supportive coil system. For those who want a little extra pressure relief, you may want to opt for the pillow-top cover.
Overall Value
4/5
For Happsy, a better Earth does not stop at the edge of the mattress industry. The company has overhauled its business practices from end to end to source the best materials, obtain the strictest environmental certifications, and ensure fair-labor practices. The hybrid’s versatile firmness will appeal to a wide range of sleepers, and the quality materials and affordable price set Happsy apart both within the eco-friendly market and beyond.
