Matermoll Arturo New Plus Mattress Reviews (2026)

Matermoll’s Arturo New Plus is a reversible hybrid that pairs a pocket-spring core with memory-foam comfort layers, giving you two usable feels in one build. In our testing, it worked best for sleepers who want buoyant, stable support with some pressure relief, especially people who like a steadier surface and couples who do not want excessive bounce. The trade-offs are straightforward: the softer side held more warmth for us, and the flip-to-adjust design only makes sense if you will actually use it.

Overview

Mattress Overall Score Pros Cons Ideal For
Matermoll Arturo New Plus Mattress 4.2/5 Dual-sided feel; steady support Softer side runs warmer; heavy to flip Combination sleepers, couples, sleepers who want two usable feels

Verdict

In our nightly testing, the biggest advantage was flexibility. I could use the softer side when I wanted more cushioning for side sleeping, then flip to the firmer side when my lower back needed more pushback. The pocket-spring core kept the surface lifted and stable instead of overly plush.

The downside is practical rather than subtle. This is a mattress you need to flip to get the full benefit, and the softer side retained more warmth than Marcus liked.

Who It’s For

  • Sleepers who want one mattress with two firmness options

  • Couples who need solid support with decent motion control

  • Back and combination sleepers who like buoyant lift with some cushioning

Who It’s Not For

  • Hot sleepers who only sleep comfortably on cooler surfaces

  • Ultra-light side sleepers who need very plush, deep sink

  • Anyone who will not realistically flip a mattress to dial in feel

Testing Method

We ran nightly sleep trials on both sides to judge Support, Cooling, and Pressure Relief during regular routines like reading in bed, laptop work, and overnight position changes. Motion Isolation and Responsiveness were tested with partner-movement drills, including getting in and out of bed, repeated turns, and rolling from the edge toward the center. Edge Support was checked through sit-and-stand reps and sustained edge sitting. We also tracked whether each side kept a consistent feel after repeated use and flipping.

Testing Notes

In our actual testing, the firmer side gave me cleaner lift under my hips and less of the slow settle that can aggravate my lower back by morning. For back sleepers, that extra pushback will likely feel more reassuring. When I switched to the softer side, it felt easier on my shoulder at the start of the night, which will appeal more to many side sleepers, but the surface also felt a little warmer by early morning.

Marcus kept preferring the firmer side because it stayed flatter and resisted the hammock-like dip he dislikes. Jenna and Ethan focused more on how the bed handled shared sleep, and their takeaway was that it stayed fairly composed for couples, though the softer side felt a bit clingier during quicker turns.

What we liked

  • Two distinct feels just by flipping, without changing the core support character

  • A buoyant, steady base that kept hips from drifting out of line

  • Calm surface behavior for a hybrid, especially on the firmer side

Who it is best for

  • Back and combination sleepers who alternate between support nights and cushion nights

  • Couples who want stability without an overly bouncy feel

  • People who dislike deep sink but still want some memory foam pressure relief

Where it falls short

  • The softer side can hold more heat than some hot sleepers will tolerate

  • Side sleepers who need very plush pressure relief may still want a softer build

  • Flipping is the whole feature—if you will not do it, you lose the benefit

Overall 4.2 A flexible, supportive reversible hybrid with practical trade-offs.

Buying Guide

If you are trying to choose a mattress that can shift between two usable feels, this is a sensible fit. In our testing, the firmer side made more sense for back-sleeping stretches and for anyone who wanted cleaner lift through the hips, while the softer side was better at easing shoulder pressure when starting on the side. If cooling is the main priority, the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe is the more cooling-focused comparison. If you want deeper contour and a slower-moving all-foam feel, TEMPUR-Adapt is closer to that lane.

Limits

The softer side can feel warmer and a bit more clingy during fast turns, which may frustrate restless sleepers. The firmer side can also feel too assertive for lightweight side sleepers who need deeper pressure relief at the shoulder. Finally, the defining feature is reversibility—if flipping a mattress sounds unrealistic for your routine, you are usually better off choosing a single-feel model you will actually enjoy every night.

Alternatives

Why choose this model

  • Two distinct feels by flipping

  • Buoyant hybrid support that stays stable

  • Better long-term flexibility if your comfort needs change

Alternatives to consider

Pro Tips

  • Try each side for several consecutive nights before deciding which one works better for you.

  • Use the firmer side during weeks when your back feels tight or you are sleeping more on your back.

  • Use the softer side when you are spending longer stretches on your side and want extra cushioning.

  • Rotate the mattress on a schedule so one shoulder and hip zone does not take all the wear.

  • If you sleep hot, start with breathable bedding and avoid overly warm mattress protectors.

  • For couples, agree on one side for a full week before switching so you are not constantly re-adjusting.

  • When flipping, use a two-person technique and clear the frame edges to avoid twisting the corners.

  • If edge sitting is part of your routine, give the pillow top a few seconds to rebound before judging support.

  • Pair it with a sturdy, even support surface to keep the reversible feel consistent.

FAQs

Does flipping the mattress actually change how it feels?

Yes. The two sides are designed to feel different—one more cushioned, the other more supportive—so flipping noticeably changes the first part of the comfort feel.

Is it good for couples if one person moves a lot at night?

It handled typical partner movement well for a hybrid. You will still notice some motion, but it was not jarring in our nightly use.

Which side is better for back pain sensitivity?

When my lower back felt tight, the firmer side gave me steadier hip support and a cleaner lift, which felt more restorative by morning. That is the side I would point more often toward shoppers dealing with back pain sensitivity.

Will it feel too firm for side sleeping?

If you are average weight, the softer side should be more shoulder-friendly. Very light sleepers who spend most of the night side sleeping may still want a plusher, deeper pressure-relief build.

Does it sleep hot?

The softer side held more warmth overnight, while the firmer side felt more temperature-neutral, especially with breathable bedding. It is workable for many sleepers, but the warmer side is less ideal for people who consistently sleep hot.

His combination-sleeping and mixed lounging habits keep him focused on long-term comfort and support.

Marcus Reed

Heavyweight Sofa & Mattress Tester

Marcus brings a heavier build and heat-sensitive profile into every test. He pushes deep cushions, edges, and frames harder than most users. His feedback highlights whether a design holds up under load, runs hot, or collapses into a hammock-like slump during long gaming or streaming sessions.

Carlos Alvarez

Posture & Work-From-Home Specialist

Carlos spends long hours working from sofas and beds with a laptop. He tracks how mid-back, neck, and lumbar regions respond to different setups. His notes reveal whether a product keeps posture neutral during extended sitting or lying, and whether small adjustments still feel stable and controlled.

Mia Chen

Petite Side-Sleeper & Lounger

Mia tests how mattresses and sofas treat a smaller frame during side sleeping and curled-up lounging. She feels pressure and seat-depth problems very quickly. Her feedback exposes designs that swallow shorter users, leave feet dangling, or create sharp pressure points at shoulders, hips, and knees.

Jenna Brooks

Couple Comfort & Motion Tester

Jenna evaluates how well sofas and mattresses handle real shared use with a partner. She tracks motion transfer, usable width, and edge comfort when two adults spread out. Her comments highlight whether a product supports relaxed couple lounging, easy repositioning, and quiet nights without constant disturbance.

Jamal Davis

Tall, Active-Body Tester

Jamal brings a tall, athletic frame and post-workout soreness into the lab. He checks seat depth, leg support, and surface responsiveness on every product. His notes show whether cushions bounce back, frames feel solid under long legs, and sleep surfaces support joints during recovery stretches and naps.

Ethan Cole

Restless Lounger & Partner Tester

Ethan acts as the moving partner in many couple-focused tests. He shifts positions frequently and pays attention to how easily a surface lets him turn, slide, or return after short breaks. His feedback exposes cushions that feel too squishy, too sticky, or poorly shaped for real-world lounging patterns.
