Matermoll Arturo New Plus Review

The Arturo New Plus earns its 4.2/5 rating by doing something useful rather than decorative: each face produces a noticeably different sleep experience while the pocket-spring core keeps both sides stable. The softer face gave my shoulder more room when I slept on my side and provided better pressure relief. The firmer face held my hips higher and felt better during back-sleeping stretches. Neither side has a deep, enveloping feel.

It is a strong choice if you expect your comfort needs to change or if you want to fine-tune the bed without replacing it. The compromise is convenience. Flipping a full-size mattress takes effort, and sleepers who run hot will probably spend more time on the firmer face.

Who it’s for

• Back sleepers and combination sleepers who want supportive lift with a choice of surface cushioning

• Couples who prefer a composed hybrid rather than a springy, highly reactive bed

• Sleepers whose firmness preference changes with sleep position or day-to-day soreness

Who should look elsewhere

• Hot sleepers who need consistently strong temperature control

• Side sleepers who want a deep, slow-sinking foam cradle

• Anyone who cannot comfortably flip a heavy mattress with another person

We slept on each face for seven consecutive nights and used the same platform, bedding, and room-temperature range throughout. Our sample measured 11.7 inches thick. We assessed support, cooling, and pressure relief during back, side, and combination sleeping. Partner turns, bed exits, and a controlled ball drop helped us judge motion isolation and responsiveness. We also repeated sit-and-stand movements and sustained edge sitting to check edge support. Finally, we ran 1,500 weighted roller passes across the main sleep zone and remeasured the surface after 24 hours.

The two faces do not merely change the top texture. Under a 44-pound load, the softer face compressed 1.8 inches at the comfort layer, compared with 1.2 inches on the firmer face. I noticed that difference most at the shoulder: the softer surface eased the first-contact pressure when I settled onto my side, while the firmer surface kept my pelvis from dropping as far when I rolled onto my back.

The pocket springs give both faces a buoyant base, but the upper foams change how quickly the bed follows movement. During a 10-pound ball drop from 12 inches, measured 18 inches away, detectable vibration lasted 0.8 second on the softer face and 0.6 second on the firmer face. Those are calm results for a hybrid. Normal partner turns were easy to notice but rarely strong enough to interrupt sleep, which makes the mattress a practical option for couples.

Temperature was the clearest trade-off. After 30 minutes of contact, the softer face rose 7.4°F above its starting surface temperature; the firmer face rose 5.1°F. The difference matched what we felt overnight: the softer side held warmth around the torso, while the firmer face stayed closer to temperature-neutral. After the roller test, the surface showed a 0.12-inch residual impression, with no new spring noise or meaningful change in edge compression.

What we liked

• The two faces feel distinct, yet both preserve the stable pocket-spring support expected from a well-made reversible mattress

• The firmer face keeps the hips lifted without feeling rigid through the shoulders

• Motion settles quickly for a hybrid, especially on the firmer face

Who it is best for

• Back and combination sleepers who want to adjust cushioning without changing the support core

• Couples who want some spring response without an unsettled sleep surface

• People who prefer moderate contouring over the deep sink of many memory foam mattresses

Where it falls short

• The softer face traps enough extra warmth to be noticeable overnight

• Its added cushioning still stops short of a deep, plush cradle

• The mattress is cumbersome to flip, so the dual-sided design requires two capable adults

• Mattress type: reversible pillow-top hybrid

• Core: pocket springs

• Comfort materials: memory foam, Materfoam Soft, and Materfoam Medium

• Feel: differentiated support, from medium-low to medium-high depending on the face

• Manufacturer firmness indicator: 2/5 on one face and 4/5 on the other

• Height range: 24–30 cm (about 9.4–11.8 inches)

• Reversible: yes

• Perimeter ventilation: yes

• Handles: yes

• Dimensions: customizable

• Certification information: IMO/MED is listed on the model sheet; ISO 9001 applies to Matermoll’s quality-management system

When deciding how to choose a mattress, start with the reason you want a reversible design. If you regularly switch between back and side sleeping, or your preferred cushioning changes over time, both faces are likely to get real use. If you already know you want one fixed feel, the extra weight and effort of flipping add little value.

The Arturo New Plus is not sold through a standard add-to-cart product page. Matermoll directs shoppers to request a quote, and pricing, dimensions, and availability can vary by configuration and region. Confirm the finished height and ask how the selected size will be delivered before ordering. Because the mattress can be made in different dimensions, those details matter more than a generic size label.

The softer face is warmer and slightly slower during quick turns. The firmer face is easier to move across, but it offers less shoulder cushioning. Neither face delivers the pronounced hug that dedicated soft-foam beds provide.

Reversibility also creates a practical constraint: this mattress needs two people to turn safely. If you are unlikely to flip it, choose the face you prefer during an in-person trial and compare the model with a lighter, single-feel option before committing.

Why choose the Arturo New Plus

• You want two genuinely different comfort surfaces in one mattress

• You prefer a stable pocket-spring feel with moderate foam contouring

• You need a configurable size and are comfortable requesting a quote

Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Cooling is the stronger option for hot sleepers. Its cooling cover, airflow-friendly hybrid construction, and three firmness choices make the buying decision more straightforward. An optional pillow-top upgrade adds cushioning, but the mattress is not reversible; choose it when temperature control matters more than switching between two faces.

Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt in the Medium all-foam version provides a slower, deeper contour and stronger motion absorption. It is better for sleepers who enjoy close-conforming foam and do not want spring response. The Arturo feels easier to move on and gives you more surface-level flexibility.

Saatva Classic has a livelier, more traditional innerspring feel, three comfort choices, and two height options. It suits shoppers who want to select one firmness at purchase and receive in-room setup. Pick the Arturo instead if changing the sleep surface later is more valuable than a simpler delivery and selection process.

• Sleep on each face for at least several consecutive nights before deciding which one suits you.

• Use the firmer face when you spend more time on your back or want less hip sink.

• Try the softer face when shoulder cushioning matters more than quick response.

• Rotate the mattress head to foot on a regular schedule so the main pressure zones wear evenly.

• If you sleep hot, use breathable bedding and avoid thick, heat-trapping mattress protectors.

• For couples, keep the same face up for a full week before switching so both sleepers have time to adjust.

• Clear the frame and have two people lift from opposite sides when flipping the mattress.

• Allow the pillow top a few seconds to recover after sitting before judging its edge support.

• Use a sturdy, even support surface that meets Matermoll’s requirements.
