Is this bamboo & charcoal mattress a sleep gimmick or a game changer?

Otty Pure Pro Hybrid Bamboo & Charcoal Mattress.

Since being one of the pioneers of the hybrid mattress in 2016, Otty has continued to pave the way for other mattress manufacturers by creating a winning combination of foam and springs. The latest Otty Pure Pro Hybrid Bamboo & Charcoal really does give the impression that sleep science is finally moving beyond the pocket sprung mattress created by James Marshall in 1899. Question is, is there substance to this ‘science’?

You might think that I am being a bit cynical with certain parts of what I’ve said so far. You would be right. But as the self proclaimed leader in the search for the best mattresses you can buy, I do get a little nauseated by the overuse of buzzwords such as bamboo and activated charcoal in modern products. They are thrown around in the same way that tech companies nowadays describe everything as having ‘AI’. Honestly my toaster was doing just fine with a timer, I really don’t need it to adjust the toastedness based on the weather tomorrow.
