Our added layers add comfort and support

Some mattresses, like Hugo, are predominantly made from one kind of mattress technology. In Hugo’s case, it’s foam. At Sleep Republic, we’ve built a hybrid mattress, bringing together the best of multiple mattress types. This way, our mattress has the advantages of springs and foam and none of the disadvantages.

Treat yourself to cashmere

Sleep Republic uses cashmere: an especially soft kind of wool, prized for its opulence, breathability, softness and durability. Hugo uses a polyester blend instead.

Support around the edges

Foam mattresses and even normal spring mattresses can start to sag around the edges. But the Sleep Republic mattress has added edge support.

HD pocket springs

Hugo’s mattress doesn’t have any springs, but our mattress has a whopping 1850 individual springs in a queen size, providing 5-zone support while you sleep.

Natural, renewable latex

In hot Australian summers, mattress airflow can be a real issue. Without the circulation of a latex layer like the one in our mattress, you may find yourself in a sweaty situation.

Foam with NASA technology

Developed by NASA, our memory foam is out of this world. The foam layer adds remarkable comfort.

Unique 3D panelling

With Sleep Republic’s 3D panelling, you get better airflow in your mattress and improved comfort on hot nights. The panelling on a Hugo mattress is more flat and conventional.

Foam and springs, together at last

Hugo has a foam mattress. While foam is useful for comfort, it isn’t without some drawbacks, like a propensity to sag and a lack of support. With Sleep Republic, we have spring and foam layers for both comfort and support.

The security of a 12-year warranty

The Hugo mattress has a 10-year warranty. The Sleep Republic warranty is even longer: 12 years of guaranteed mattress excellence.

Trial our mattress for 150 nights

We offer a 100-night trial on our mattress. If, for any reason, you’re not convinced that the Sleep Republic mattress is right for you, return it for a full refund. Hugo also has a trial but is for a shorter period of time.

Can you cope without cashmere?

Hugo uses a polyester blend in their cover. Polyester is a synthetic material derived from petroleum and can trap heat. It can also aggravate respiratory conditions due to higher toxicity and VOCs. Sleep Republic, however, uses soft, durable, natural cashmere wool instead.

Frequently asked questions about Sleep Republic vs Hugo

Does the Hugo mattress have springs, or just the Sleep Republic mattress?

expand_more

The Hugo mattress does not have springs. Rather, it has several foam layers. The Sleep Republic mattress, however, combines foam and springs to produce a hybrid mattress that delivers an incredible night’s sleep.

Are Sleep Republic and Hugo both 'mattresses in a box'?

expand_less
expand_more

They are. With both mattresses, you order them online, then they are delivered, in a box, to your door.

Which has a longer warranty, the Sleep Republic mattress or the Hugo mattress?

expand_less
expand_more

The Sleep Republic warranty is for 12 years. A typical number in the industry for warranties is 10 years — that is how long the Hugo mattress is backed for — but we are so sure of our craftsmanship that we’re happy to back the mattress for those additional two years.
