Eyri Mattress Review
Iceland Invites You To Sleep Like A Viking
This bed will let you wake up energized and ready to face the world.
Our reviewerA Firm, Cool-Sleeping Bed Built for Back Sleepers
The Eyri Mattress ships from Iceland to sleepers across the US, built from organic materials — a wool top and volcanic-ash-infused latex — for a cool, supported sleep. We measured its firmness at 7 out of 10, and it shows: the half-inch of luxury wool doesn't do much to soften the 1.25-inch latex layer beneath. As a back sleeper who prefers a firmer, more active bed, it worked well for us; anyone used to a soft mattress will find it too hard.
Support is where the Eyri shines. The bed doesn't sag or dip through the night, and the wool-and-latex top offered just enough softening to avoid pressure points for our back-sleeping reviewer. Sinkage measured only 1-2 inches at the center, with a little more give along the sides — supportive overall, but side sleepers may find it firmer than they'd like.
Responsiveness was excellent, reacting quickly to movement and leaving us energized rather than groggy — this isn't a bed for sleepers chasing a snuggly, sink-in morning. The wool top layer also earns its keep on temperature, pulling heat away so effectively that we nearly reached for an extra blanket. Smell was minimal too: Eyri airs its mattresses out for a few days at the factory before shipping, and the natural latex and wool avoid the harsh chemical scent common to boxed beds.
It's a heavy box — plan on a second pair of hands — and the mattress looks reversible but isn't; the Eyri logo marks the top side. Price runs a touch higher than competitors, though a 90-night trial and 10-year warranty soften that, and a $50 discount code takes some of the sting out of the premium.

Our Hands-On Review
Firmness lands at 7 out of 10 — pretty firm — with only 1-2 inches of sinkage at the center and a bit more along the sides. The wool-and-latex top softened things just enough to avoid pressure points for our back-sleeping reviewer, though a side sleeper may find less give than they'd want.
Responsiveness was a highlight: the Eyri reacts quickly to movement, waking sleepers energized rather than groggy. The 100% natural wool top layer pulls heat away from the body impressively well, and there was little to no chemical smell on unboxing thanks to natural materials and factory airing-out time.
Mind the Logo
The mattress looks like you could sleep on either side, but the Eyri does have a distinct top and bottom. If you're not sure which way is up, sleep on the side with the Eyri logo.

A Firm, Responsive Bed With One Real Trade-Off
The Eyri mattress is a firm bed with a great level of responsiveness, and its wool top layer keeps sleepers cool regardless of room temperature — the only real negative is the firmness itself, which could be too hard for some sleepers.
