Eve Premium Hybrid Mattress Review
Eve's conventional flagship, and the model most clearly overshadowed by the brand's own Wunderflip.

Verdict
Eve's conventional flagship, and the model most clearly overshadowed by the brand's own Wunderflip. Fourteen hundred springs at 28 centimetres is respectable. For fifty pounds more the Wunderflip Premium gives you 2,500 springs and an adjustable firmness, which makes this a hard purchase to justify.
Buy it if
You want a fixed medium firm hybrid from Eve, heavily discounted, and you have no interest in the flippable design.
Avoid it if
You are within fifty pounds of the Wunderflip Premium Hybrid, which gives you more spring and adjustability.

The scores
A decent mattress positioned fifty pounds below a considerably better one in the same range.
Fourteen hundred springs at 1,049 list, when the model above adds 1,100 springs for fifty pounds.
Twenty-eight centimetres with 1,400 springs. Solid at average and moderate build.
Depth and a spring layer handle heat adequately.
Better than the Original Hybrid. Nothing exceptional.
Pocketed springs, reasonable damping.
Two hundred nights, discounted by the ownership history.
Overshadowed by its own stablemate
This is the clearest example on this site of a range where the internal pricing does not make sense for the buyer.
| Premium Hybrid | Wunderflip Premium | |
|---|---|---|
| List price | £1,049 | £1,099 |
| Depth | 28cm | 28cm |
| Springs | Around 1,400 | Up to 2,500 |
| Firmness | Fixed medium firm | Two surfaces, flippable |
Fifty pounds buys you 1,100 more springs and the ability to change the firmness whenever you like. There is no reading of that comparison where this model wins.
When this is nonetheless the right choice
One case, and it is narrow. If Eve is discounting this model more deeply than the Wunderflip at the moment you are buying, and the gap is more than a couple of hundred pounds, then a fixed medium firm hybrid at 28 centimetres is a perfectly sound mattress.
Check both prices on the day. Eve's discounts vary by model rather than applying evenly.
A correction worth making
Commonly repeated, and wrong
Comparison articles routinely present Eve's Premium Hybrid as the brand's top conventional model and the Wunderflip as a niche alternative for indecisive buyers. On specification the Wunderflip Premium has around 1,100 more springs at the same depth for fifty pounds more, which makes it the better mattress before the flippable design is considered at all. The adjustability is a bonus on top of a superior spring unit, not a compromise in place of one.
Should you buy it?
Only if it is discounted substantially more than the Wunderflip Premium on the day you buy. Otherwise spend the fifty pounds.

It is a decent fixed medium firm hybrid with around 1,400 springs at 28cm. The problem is positional rather than structural: the model fifty pounds above it in the same range is substantially better specified.
