The Origin Hybrid Plus is the step-up version of Origin's popular Hybrid, and its headline trick is a genuinely adjustable feel: the top layer unzips and flips so you can run one side medium-firm and the other side firm. That makes it a rare bed-in-a-box you can retune if your first choice feels wrong, without sending it back.
Origin is an Australian-owned brand that has sold tens of thousands of mattresses and is recommended by CHOICE. The Hybrid Plus builds on the standard Hybrid with 25% more HexaGrid ortho foam, extra graphite and gel cooling layers and a taller 29cm profile, while keeping the washable TENCEL cover and 7-zone ErgoCoil springs.
In this review we break down how the Hybrid Plus is built, how each side feels, who it suits and how it differs from the cheaper standard Origin Hybrid.
Sleep Society rating
Origin Hybrid Plus ★★★★½ 4.6/5
Firmness: Adjustable (medium-firm to firm, about 6.5 to 8/10) | Price: Check current price | Trial: 120 nights | Warranty: 15 years
How it scores
The adjustable dual-firmness design is the standout: few beds in this price bracket let you flip between two feels. Quality and comfort are strong thanks to the extra HexaGrid and cooling foams, and the 120-night trial and 15-year warranty keep the risk low.
The bottom line
The Origin Hybrid Plus is the one to buy when you want the Origin support system but are not sure whether you prefer medium-firm or firm. You get 25% more HexaGrid, extra cooling foams and a flippable dual-firmness top for a mid-market price. It is dearer than the standard Hybrid and, like most hybrids, still not a plush pillow-soft bed, but for adaptable support it is an easy recommendation.
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.
The Hybrid Plus suits buyers who cannot decide between medium-firm and firm, couples with different feel preferences, back and combination sleepers, and hot sleepers who want extra cooling. If you want the same support system for less and are happy with a single medium-firm feel, the standard Origin Hybrid is the better value pick. Dedicated plush-feel side sleepers who want a soft, sinking hug should look at the plusher Origin LumbarCloud instead.
The Hybrid Plus is a 29cm pocket-spring hybrid that stacks pressure-relieving and cooling foams over a zoned spring core, with a flippable dual-firmness comfort layer. From the top:
The foams are CertiPUR-US certified. It ships compressed in a box.

This is the Hybrid Plus's party trick. Unzip and flip the top layer and you switch between a medium-firm feel (about 6.5 out of 10) and a firm feel (closer to 8). Both sides hold the spine level with a supportive, on-top feel rather than a deep sink, so the medium-firm side suits back, side and combination sleepers, while the firm side suits stomach sleepers and heavier bodies.
The individually pocketed springs and foam comfort layers isolate motion well, so a restless partner is unlikely to wake you.
This is a strong pick for hot sleepers. On top of the TENCEL cover and wool layer, the graphite and gel cooling foams and the open spring core all move air, so it runs noticeably cooler than a dense all-foam bed.
There is a mild new-mattress smell on unboxing that clears within a day or two in a ventilated room.

Type: adjustable pocket-spring hybrid · Firmness: dual-sided medium-firm to firm (about 6.5 to 8/10) · Height: 29cm · Trial: 120 nights · Warranty: 15 years · Origin runs frequent sales, so check the current price on the live page before you buy. No super king size is offered.
The Hybrid Plus sits above the standard Origin Hybrid but well below the premium LumbarCloud, and it is available from single through to king. Origin discounts almost constantly and the sale price moves, so check the live price before you buy rather than relying on a number that may be out of date.
Origin ships free to most metro areas across Australia, with next-day delivery possible on in-stock orders; some rural postcodes attract a delivery fee. The mattress arrives compressed in a box; you slide it onto the base, cut the plastic and it expands within a few hours. Returns during the trial are handled by Origin.
With a 15-year warranty and CertiPUR-US certified foams over a tempered pocket-spring core, the Hybrid Plus is built to last well beyond the typical 7 to 10 year mattress lifespan. Rotating it head-to-toe every few months and using a mattress protector will keep it in shape, and the washable TENCEL cover makes long-term upkeep easy.
The Hybrid Plus adds a flippable dual-firmness top (medium-firm on one side, firm on the other), 25% more HexaGrid ortho foam, extra graphite and gel cooling layers, and a taller 29cm profile. The standard Origin Hybrid is 27cm, medium-firm only and cheaper.
Yes. The comfort layer unzips and flips so you can run a medium-firm or a firm feel, which is useful if you are unsure which you prefer or if your needs change over time.
Yes. The TENCEL cover, wool layer, graphite and gel cooling foams and open pocket-spring core all promote airflow, so it sleeps cooler than a dense all-foam mattress.
Choose the Hybrid Plus for adjustable medium-firm to firm support at a mid-market price. Choose the plusher, pillowtop Origin LumbarCloud if you want a soft, cloud-like feel and a luxury build.
