Happsy is an online bedding and sleep accessory brand that has been in business since 2017. The company specializes in products made from organic and sustainably sourced materials. In this review, we’ll take a look at the Happsy Organic Mattress. This latex hybrid model first debuted in May of 2017, and is the company’s only mattress at this time.
The Happsy Organic Mattress – known as the Happsy for short – is constructed with a comfort layer of GOLS-certified organic latex. The support core consists of individually pocketed coils made from tempered steel, and the cover is made of GOTS-certified organic cotton. Altogether, the mattress measures 10 inches thick.
The Happsy has a medium firm feel, which corresponds to a 6 on the 1-10 firmness scale. If that sounds too firm, Happsy also offers a GOLS-certified mattress topper specifically designed for use with the mattress. This topper has a plush feel; placing it on top of the Happsy results in a medium soft (4) feel. If you choose, the topper is available for purchase with the mattress in a product bundle.

Side Sleepers
The Happsy’s latex comfort layer has a medium firm feel, so you’ll feel a slight contour as opposed to a deep body hug. This may be problematic for side sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds, who often prefer a mattress with soft padding in the comfort layer to cushion the body and align the spine. These individuals may feel added pressure in the shoulders, lower back, and/or hips. For these sleepers, the topper can soften the surface enough to promote better alignment and pressure relief.
Side sleepers who weigh 130 pounds or more will likely feel more comfortable, though these individuals – like their lighter counterparts – often prefer a plusher surface feel. If you sleep on your side and need more support due to your body type or personal comfort preferences, then you may want to consider the standalone mattress. Adding the topper may be more suitable for side sleepers who like a bit of extra cushioning.
Back Sleepers
In many ways, the Happsy is an ideal mattress for back sleeping. The latex contours gently yet moderately, so you can feel less pressure without a deep sink or loss of support. The coils also provide excellent stability throughout the mattress to help maintain an even plane for your body, even in areas where you carry a disproportionate amount of weight (such as the stomach and hips). Back sleepers generally prefer a firmer mattress feel than side sleepers to ensure they won’t sink too much.
The Happsy will feel noticeably softer with the topper added, so you may notice more sinkage while lying on your back. If you weigh less than 130 pounds, then this feel might be optimal because you’ll feel more conforming and less pressure buildup. Other back sleepers may find the Happsy more comfortable without the topper, especially if they weigh 130 pounds or more.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleeping can be problematic because many people who utilize this position feel aches and pains no matter which mattress they use. As you lie face-down, the weight from your chest, stomach, and hips can cause your midsection to sink deeper than the rest of your body. The Happsy is a great choice for stomach sleepers who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds. The medium firm feel and thick coils provide excellent reinforcement to keep your entire body even with the surface.
Stomach sleepers in other weight groups may feel differently. Those weighing less than 130 pounds will likely find the mattress a little too firm, and with that they may not experience enough conforming or pressure relief. The topper may be useful for some of these stomach sleepers. For those weighing more than 230 pounds, the mattress will probably feel more comfortable without the topper than with it – but even then, the Happsy won’t be firm enough for some.

Happsy Mattress Review Breakdown
The Happsy is a medium-profile hybrid mattress that measures 10 inches thick and has a medium firm (6) feel. The 2-inch comfort layer is made of ventilated latex. This material conforms to the body much like memory foam or polyfoam, but latex is also naturally responsive. As a result, the mattress has a springy surface feel when you first lie down, but you’ll feel a noticeable contour as your body sinks into the comfort layer. The latex has been certified as organic by the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS), a leading authority in sustainable mattress components. The certification is available to read on Happsy’s website.
The Happsy also contains a pocketed coil support core that measures 8 inches tall. The coils promote excellent stability throughout the mattress to ensure minimal sinkage along the edges and a flat, even surface for your body. The coils are made from tempered steel and are highly durable.
The mattress cover is produced from organic cotton that has been certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), another renowned organization in this field. Other certifications for the mattress include the GreenGuard Gold for low emissions and the Rainforest Alliance certification, which indicates the latex has been sustainably grown and harvested. All Happsy certifications are available to view in PDF format for website visitors.
Happsy also offers a GOLS-certified organic latex topper, which measures 2 inches thick and is intended for use with the mattress. Adding the topper adjusts the bed’s firmness to create a medium soft (4) feel, which may be more comfortable for certain people (such as side sleepers and those who weigh less than 130 pounds).

Mattress Prices and Sizing
In a queen size, the Happsy is relatively affordable as a standalone mattress. Add the optional latex topper for a softer feel, and you’ll pay a bit more for the same size. The cost of the topper in addition to the mattress fluctuates by size.
The Happsy is very affordable compared to other latex hybrids, which on average cost between $1,600 and $2,200. Ground shipping is also free for orders within the contiguous U.S., though you’ll pay an additional $300 for delivery if you reside in Alaska or Hawaii. Returns are free, as well, and Happsy will send couriers to pick up the mattress at your residence.

Trial, Warranty, and Shipping Policies
The Happsy Organic Mattress is available both on Happsy's website and Amazon.com. However, the mattress is not sold through any other retailers or online marketplaces, and Happsy does not operate any brick-and-mortar locations.
Happsy ships the mattress to all 50 states, but delivery elsewhere is not available at this time. The company offers free shipping via FedEx or UPS Ground throughout the contiguous U.S. If you live in Alaska or Hawaii, you’ll pay a $300 delivery surcharge.
Most customers receive their mattress in 10 to 12 business days. The package will be delivered directly to your doorstep, so no need to be at home when it arrives.
The Happsy is compressed, plastic-wrapped, and compressed before shipping, which allows the mattress to fit inside a standard delivery box. After the package arrives, carry it to the room where you plan to use it – and elicit help from someone else if you order a larger size, since the mattress can weigh up to 129 pounds. Unbox the Happsy, cut away the plastic wrapping, and watch the mattress expand. It should reach its full shape in 48 hours or less.
Expedited ground shipping, White Glove delivery, and old mattress removal are not available with any Happsy orders.
The Happsy comes with a 120-night sleep trial. Happsy recommends testing out the mattress for at least 30 nights in order to break it in properly, but this is not a requirement; you can return the mattress at any point during the trial and receive a full refund.
Happsy will also arrange for couriers to pick up the mattress from your residence at no extra charge. All returned beds are either recycled or donated to charity.
The Happsy Organic Mattress is backed by a 20-year warranty, which is partially prorated. If a defect develops in your mattress during the first 10 years, Happsy will repair or replace the mattress at no extra cost to you. Prorated coverage kicks in during year 11, when you’ll pay 50 percent of the bed’s original sticker price if a replacement is needed. The prorated percentage increases in 5 percent increments until the warranty expires.
Under this warranty, sagging or body impressions in the sleep surface measuring 1.5 inches or deeper are considered defects. Other defects include physical flaws in the mattress that cause materials to deteriorate prematurely, and manufacturing flaws related to the cover’s zipper assembly. Other defects, such as physical damage inflicted by the owner or normal wear and tear, are not covered under this warranty.
