The Newentor Hesperis is an adjustable-firmness memory foam mattress that lets you change how firm your bed feels without buying a new one. It pairs a 7-zone memory foam build with a coconut-and-bamboo cover, CertiPUR-US-certified foams and a 120-night trial, and like the rest of the Newentor range it is sold at heavy, frequent discounts off an inflated list price.

In this review we break down how the Hesperis is built, how its adjustable firmness works, how it feels across sleeping positions, what it costs in every Australian size, and who should (and should not) buy it. The short version: it is a flexible, well-certified all-foam bed for the money, provided you are happy with an all-foam feel rather than the bounce of a spring hybrid.

How it scores

Value4.2
Comfort4.3
Ease of use4.0
Perks4.2

Comfort is the standout thanks to adjustable firmness and 7-zone support, and perks are strong with a 120-night trial and 10-year warranty. Value is good for a certified adjustable bed, though ease of use drops a little because reconfiguring the firmness layer takes some effort.

The bottom line

The Newentor Hesperis is the mattress to buy when you want to fine-tune firmness without gambling on one fixed feel. Adjustable soft, medium and firm sides, 7-zone memory foam, a coconut-and-bamboo cover, CertiPUR-US and OEKO-TEX certifications and a 120-night trial are a lot for a bed that starts around $528. It is all-foam rather than a spring hybrid and the pricing swings with constant sales, so confirm the live figure, but for adjustable comfort on a budget it is a strong pick.

How we review mattresses

We assess every mattress on the same five criteria – quality, value, comfort, ease of use and perks – using the brand’s published construction, aggregated owner reviews from ProductReview.com.au and CHOICE, and hands-on assessment of the feel, cover and setup. We re-check pricing on the brand’s live page at each update.

Who the Newentor Hesperis is best for

The Newentor Hesperis suits sleepers who are not sure how firm they want their bed, couples with different firmness preferences, and anyone who wants zoned memory foam support without paying premium prices. Its adjustable firmness makes it a natural fit for our back pain and best cheap mattress guides. Sleepers who want spring bounce and airflow may prefer the brand’s own Newentor Hybrid, and dedicated plush-feel shoppers who want a washable-cover luxury bed may prefer a pricier option like the Ecosa.

Pros

  • Adjustable firmness: soft, medium and firm sides let you reconfigure the feel instead of being stuck with one
  • Real 7-zone support: the foam is zoned across seven body areas, firmer under the lower back and softer at the shoulders
  • Breathable natural-fibre cover: a coconut-and-bamboo cover that wicks moisture and resists odour
  • Certified and low-risk: CertiPUR-US foams, an OEKO-TEX Standard 100 cover, a 120-night trial and a 10-year warranty

Cons

  • All-foam, not a hybrid: no spring bounce, so it moves less air than a pocket-spring bed
  • Reconfiguring firmness takes effort: you unzip and rearrange the comfort layer, which is fiddlier than a fixed bed
  • Prices swing with constant sales: the list price is inflated, so you have to check the live figure
  • Shorter 10-year warranty: several premium rivals back their beds for 15 years, and Newentor is still a less-established brand in Australia

What the Newentor Hesperis is made from

The Newentor Hesperis is a 22cm all-foam mattress built around a 4cm + 2cm + 16cm layer stack under a natural-fibre cover. From the top:

  1. Coconut-and-bamboo cover: a breathable knit blending coconut fibre with bamboo textile that wicks moisture, dries quickly and is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified for skin safety.
  2. 4cm gel-visco memory foam: a cooling comfort layer that contours to the body while drawing heat away.
  3. 2cm high-density Q-stretch foam: a responsive transition layer that adds support and helps the comfort layer recover its shape.
  4. 16cm high-elasticity comfort foam: the 7-zone ergonomic support core, firmer under the head and waist and softer under the shoulders.
  5. Non-slip base: a grippy backing that stops the mattress sliding on the bed base.

The comfort layer can be unzipped and rearranged to change the firmness between softer and firmer configurations, and the mattress is symmetrical so it can be turned end to end. The foams are CertiPUR-US certified for low emissions and the cover is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. It ships vacuum-packed in a box and expands once unrolled.

What the Newentor Hesperis feels like

Support and firmness

The headline feature is adjustable firmness: the Hesperis has soft, medium and firm configurations, so you can set it up plush or supportive rather than living with a single feel. The 7-zone core gives firmer support under the lower back and softer give at the shoulders, which keeps the spine aligned for back and side sleepers, and couples who disagree on firmness can compromise more easily than with a fixed bed.

Partner disturbance

As a dense all-foam mattress the Hesperis absorbs movement well, so a restless partner is unlikely to wake you. It does not have the pronounced bounce of a pocket-spring hybrid.

Suitability for hot sleepers

The gel-visco top layer and the moisture-wicking coconut-and-bamboo cover help it run cooler than a plain memory foam bed, though a dense all-foam mattress still traps more heat than a spring hybrid, so committed hot sleepers should keep that in mind.

Off-gassing

There is a mild new-mattress smell on unboxing that clears within a day or two in a ventilated room; the CertiPUR-US certification means the foams are made without the worst offenders.

Ordering and delivery

Newentor ships free Australia-wide, typically within 2 to 7 business days. The mattress arrives compressed and vacuum-packed in a box; you slide it onto your base, cut the plastic and it expands over a few hours. Setup needs no tools. To change the firmness you unzip the cover and rearrange the comfort layer. Turn the mattress end to end every few months to even out wear, and if you place it on a slatted or floor base, let the underside air occasionally to avoid moisture build-up.

Trial, warranty and shipping

  • Trial: 120 nights, with a 30-night minimum adjustment period before a return can be arranged.
  • Warranty: 10 years, covering indentations, and foam that splits or cracks under normal use, plus cover manufacturing defects.
  • Delivery: free nationwide, usually 2–7 business days.
  • Certifications: CertiPUR-US foams and an OEKO-TEX Standard 100 cover.

How long does the Newentor Hesperis last?

With a 10-year warranty and CertiPUR-US foams, the Newentor Hesperis is built to last close to the typical 7–10 year mattress lifespan. Turning it end to end every few months and using a mattress protector will keep it in shape, and the adjustable comfort layer means you can refresh the feel if it softens over time.

Newentor Hesperis FAQ

Is the Newentor Hesperis firm or soft?

Both, because the firmness is adjustable. The Hesperis has soft, medium and firm configurations, so you can set it up plush or supportive by rearranging the comfort layer.

How do you change the firmness?

You unzip the cover and rearrange the comfort foam layer to switch between softer and firmer configurations. It takes a little effort but means one bed can suit different preferences.

Does the Newentor Hesperis sleep hot?

The gel-visco top foam and the coconut-and-bamboo cover help it run cooler than a plain memory foam bed, but as a dense all-foam mattress it still traps more heat than a spring hybrid.

Is there a better-value alternative?

If you want spring bounce and airflow rather than adjustable foam, the brand’s own Newentor Hybrid is worth comparing, and for a washable-cover all-foam bed with adjustable firmness the Ecosa is the pricier step up.
