In this review, we will test the Hush Arctic Luxe mattress, specifically regarding:

• Pros and cons.
• Unboxing experience.
• Feel and comfort.
• Construction and design.
• Performance test results.
• Warranty policies, company policies, and all the FAQs you might want to know.

Hush Arctic Luxe Overview

Pros

• Cool to the Touch: The Hush Arctic Luxe mattress uses Hush Iced Cooling Tech, a combination of gel, phase change material, and graphite, to draw heat away from your body and help you sleep cooler at night. Hence the name, "Arctic Luxe". The Arctic Luxe is not only breathable but also cool to the touch, much like an active-cooled bed.
• Durable: That is because it is made with high-quality materials designed to last. These include CertiPUR-US certified memory foam that conforms to your body and individually wrapped coils that reduce motion transfer.
• Affordable: The Hush Arctic Luxe mattress is priced competitively, making it a good value for the price.
• Antibacterial: This mattress is made with antibacterial food-grade soy byproduct materials that keep bacteria and smells out of the mattress, and out of your sleep. This is because soy byproduct materials are naturally antimicrobial.
• Relieves Pressure Points: The Hush Arctic Luxe mattress uses several layers of memory foam and pocketed coils to relieve pressure. The memory foam in the top layer conforms to your body shape, while the coils in the bottom layer provide support. This evenly distributes your weight and reduces pressure points.

Cons

• May be a bit too soft for some people: The Hush Arctic Luxe mattress is on the medium side of medium-firm. This means that it may be a bit too soft for some people who are used to sleeping on very firm mattresses. However, this allows for a much more comfortable sleeping experience, especially for side sleepers.

Who we Recommend the Hush Arctic Luxe for

• Hot Sleepers: Their innovative cooling construction and materials will help you sleep cool and comfortably.
• Back Sleepers: The zoned support system and pressure relief around the lumbar region provide excellent support for your back.
• Stomach Sleepers: The firm support and elevated hips help to keep your spine in alignment.
• Couples: This mattress is a good option for couples because it provides good motion isolation. This means that when your partner moves, you are less likely to be disturbed. The mattress also has a pillow-top layer that provides additional comfort and support.

Unboxing the Hush Arctic Luxe

Hush understands that the way a product is delivered and packaged is a key indicator of its quality, so they make an effort to ensure that their customers have a smooth and hassle-free unboxing experience.

Your mattress will arrive compressed in a box. To set it up, simply unbox it and place it on your bed. The mattress weighs between 43 and 104 pounds, so you may need help lifting it. The mattress has handles on the sides to make it easier to lift.

We unboxed the mattress and then placed it on the bed. We removed the plastic wrapping, and the mattress expanded to its full height of 13 inches in exactly 2 minutes. However, we had to give the pillowtop layer an hour to fully fluff up, which was still excellent. Setting up the Arctic Luxe mattress was a breeze.

The Hush Arctic Luxe had excellent corner expansion, which means that the corners of the mattress expanded all the way to the very ends. This provides excellent support throughout the entire surface area of the bed and makes the mattress look sleek.

Most bed-in-a-box mattresses release a slight chemical “off-gassing” odor. Although this odor is not harmful and will dissipate within a few hours, we should note that the Hush Arctic Luxe didn’t produce any odor at all. This added to the extremely pleasant unboxing experience. This is mainly due to the high-quality organic adhesives Hush opts for in the manufacturing of their mattresses. Using such high-quality materials definitely adds to the production costs, but we believe a lot of people will appreciate a completely odor-free unboxing experience.

Firmness, Feel, and Comfort For Hush Arctic Luxe

Hush Arctic Luxe Firmness

Depending on your sleeping preferences, the firmness of a mattress is an important consideration. A mattress that is too firm can be uncomfortable, while a mattress that is too soft may not provide enough support.

The Hush Arctic Luxe mattress is rated a medium-firm 6 out of 10 on our firmness scale. This means that the mattress is supportive but still comfortable. We believe this puts the Hush Arctic Luxe in a position to be a safe choice for most people, regardless of their sleeping preferences.

Hush Arctic Luxe Feel

The Hush Arctic Luxe Hybrid mattress has a balanced feel of cozy plushness and support. However, what truly sets this mattress apart is the pillow top, which is made of a soft, plush foam that feels comfortable, luxurious, and cool to the touch thanks to Hush's cooling technology. This foam helps to reduce pressure points and promote a more restful night's sleep. Not only that, but the underlying layer of coils provides the perfect support and bounce.

Hush Arctic Luxe Comfort

We tested the mattress in a variety of sleeping positions to see how comfortable it would feel. The mattress was comfortable and supportive in all sleeping positions, including back sleeping, side sleeping, and stomach sleeping.

The mattress provided a balanced combination of softness and support that made it a great fit for combination sleepers. We will discuss this in greater detail later in our review, specifically in the pressure relief testing section.

However, it is important to note that your individual sleep needs can vary depending on your body type and preferred sleeping positions.

Constructions, Materials, and Design

Materials and Design

The Hush Arctic Luxe is a plush, pillowtop mattress with a medium-firm feel and a height of 13 inches. This mattress is made with a variety of materials, including supportive coils, comfortable foam, and cooling technology.

The top layer of the mattress is made of soft, plush foam. This foam helps to reduce pressure points and promote a more restful night's sleep. If you're a side sleeper, you'll appreciate the way that the foam conforms to your body, relieving pressure on your shoulders and hips.

The underlying layer of the mattress is made of pocketed coils. These coils provide support and bounce, while also isolating motion to prevent partner disturbance. This means that you can sleep soundly without having to worry about your partner's movements waking you up.

Layers

1. Hush Iced Cover - The top layer of the mattress is the Hush Iced Cover. This cover is made with a phase change material that helps lower body temperatures and keeps sleepers cool.
2. Memory Foam Pillowtop - The second layer of the mattress is a memory foam pillowtop. This layer is made with responsive memory foam that provides support and comfort. The memory foam also helps to reduce pressure points and promote a better night's sleep.
3. Zoned Support System - The third layer of the mattress is a zoned support system. This system is made with high-density individually pocketed coils toward the center and lighter coils near the top and bottom. This helps prevent sagging and promotes proper spinal alignment.

Performance of Hush Arctic Luxe

Cooling

Hybrid mattresses are known for their good cooling performance, and the Hush Arctic Luxe mattress takes it one step further. The Hush Arctic Luxe mattress is made with a combination of cooling and heat-absorbing materials that create a neutral temperature profile. We found that this mattress was noticeably cooler than the other hybrid mattresses we tried.

Couples who sleep hot need a mattress with good cooling performance. This can reduce the amount of heat generated between partners, keeping them both cool and comfortable all night.

To assess the Arctic Luxe’s cooling performance, we performed our standard cooling test by lying on the Hush Arctic Luxe mattress for 20 minutes and then measuring heat build-up during the test.

While performing the cooling performance test, we instantly noticed that the Arctic Luxe felt exceptionally cool throughout the whole test. Till the very end of the test, the Arctic Luxe did not cause any heat build-up. We were impressed by how well the mattress was able to regulate heat and wick moisture away.

At the time of writing this review, the Hush Arctic Luxe held the #1 position for the best cooling performance on a hybrid mattress. The Hush Arctic Luxe mattress aced our cooling performance test, earning a cooling performance score of 5/5.

Responsiveness

A responsive mattress springs back quickly into place after you move, allowing you to move freely and sleep in all positions without feeling stuck or bogged down.

Hybrid mattresses are known for their great responsiveness, and that includes the Hush Arctic Luxe mattress. It has the perfect balance between responsiveness and comfort, thanks to its combination of coils and memory foam.

You may feel slight sinkage when you first lie down on the mattress. This is a sign of well-balanced responsiveness and comfort, as the mattress is able to conform to your body without feeling too firm.

We performed our standard responsiveness test by placing and removing a 20-pound ball from the mattress and observing how quickly the mattress recovered. Despite the softness of the pillowtop layer, the results showed that the mattress is responsive enough to allow for comfortable movement. You can rest assured that you will not feel stuck in your position and will be able to switch positions easily.

Therefore, we gave this mattress a score of 4.8/5 regarding responsiveness.

Motion Isolation

Proper motion isolation helps reduce the amount of movement that is transferred from one side of the bed to the other. This is especially important for couples who share a bed, as it can help reduce disturbances.

We performed our standard motion isolation test by placing a glass of water on the mattress and dropping a 20-pound ball on the opposite side of the glass. We observed insignificant movement of the water in the glass, indicating excellent motion isolation.

The second motion isolation test involves rolling on one side of the bed and having our partner report the motion they feel on the other side of the bed. The results of the second test followed the same trend. Our partner did not feel any motion propagation to their side of the bed. Again, indicating that you will not feel any disturbance if your partner moves during the night.

Thanks to the memory foam pillowtop, this mattress was able to isolate motion exceptionally well. We observed little to no water sloshing in the glass.

Accordingly, we gave the Hush Arctic Luxe a 5/5 regarding motion isolation.

Edge Support

Hybrid mattresses, like the Hush Arctic Luxe, are often favored for their edge support. The strong, supportive sidewalls provide a solid foundation for sitting down with stability, easily getting in and out of bed, and sleeping close to the edge of the mattress.

We performed two tests to measure the edge support of the Hush Arctic Luxe mattress. In the first test, we applied firm pressure to the edge of the mattress with both hands and observed the edge’s counterpressure and supportiveness.

During the test, we noticed sufficient counterpressure when we pushed the mattress’ edge, which prevented it from sinking too much. This is a sign of good edge support.

We conducted the second test by sitting on the edge of the mattress and measuring the sinkage caused by our weight. The mattress provided excellent support and we did not feel like we will fall out of bed.

This is great news for people who like to sleep on the edge of the mattress, as it means that you won't feel any discomfort or pain at pressure points. Thus, the Arctic Luxe mattress scored a 4.9/5 in our edge support performance score.

Noise

To determine the Hush Arctic Luxe's noise levels, we conducted our standard noise test. This test involves dropping a 20lb ball onto the mattress and listening for any squeaks or noises using our highly sensitive microphones.

We were surprised to find that the mattress was completely silent, even though coil mattresses are often known for squeaking. This is thanks to the memory foam pillow top layer, which has the ability to dampen noise effectively.

This is a great feature for couples who share a bed or for people who live in apartments or other shared living spaces.

which is why we gave this mattress a noise score of 5/5.

Sex

A mattress that is cool, silent, has a bit of bounce, and has good edge support is ideal for sex. The Hush Arctic Luxe mattress fits the bill, as it ticks all of these boxes. Our previous tests confirm excellent performance in all of those categories.

The responsive foam layers and springy coils in the Hush Arctic Luxe mattress give it a bouncy feel that doesn't trap you as memory foam mattresses can. This is a great benefit for couples, as it allows for more freedom of movement during sex. In addition, the mattress is silent, and the cooling technology helps keep you comfortable.

We gave this mattress a 5/5 score regarding sex performance.

Pressure Relief

Pressure relief is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing a mattress. This is because it can significantly affect the way you sleep and your sleep quality.

We used our standard pressure relief test to evaluate how the mattress responds to different sleeping positions. This is done by resting for 20 minutes on the mattress and then measuring the pressure in different body zones. The pressure map below illustrates the findings of the test.

The Hush Arctic Luxe mattress showed fantastic results for back pain relief, especially for back and stomach sleepers. The pressure map showed almost all blue, indicating that there was little to no pressure on the lumbar region. However, heavy-weight side sleepers with back pain may experience slight pressure on their hips and shoulders, but nothing too extreme.

Accordingly, the mattress scored a 4.9/5 regarding pressure relief.
