How many times have you slept outside of your own bedroom only to find that your back hurts or the experience was uncomfortable?
If you travel as much as I do, my life often revolves around hotels, resorts, and even bed and breakfast places, which is when a good night's sleep is essential to me.
I guess this is highly important when age comes into mind, and if I rewound back 30 years ago, I did not really care where I slept or how comfortable the bed was.
Now that I have reached mid-life in terms of age, I have been quite particular about my bed, namely my mattress. Well, if you have been having sleepless nights or backaches, read on.
Origin Mattress Review Malaysia
 |
| Some of the everyday aches and pains I encountered recently from my old mattress |
In the last 8 years, I had a latex and memory foam queen mattress used to the maximum, and it was time to get a new one.
Therefore, shopping for one was not as easy as I thought it would be until I came across Malaysia's most comfortable mattress called Origin Mattress.
Before this, I went around shopping malls and independent mattress warehouses looking for one that suits my age and needs for sleep.
Let me tell you that it sounds relatively easy, but in actual fact, it is pretty tiring in terms of travelling around, talking to salespeople, testing out each mattress and so on.
I must have spent around a month looking for a suitable mattress for my wife and me, and when we found one, it was too expensive or underperforming.
And then I sort of gave up and searched online only to find out about Origin Mattress, which is engineered in Germany but made in Malaysia.
Malaysia's Best Mattress

| When the mattress arrived |
Though the tagline sounds a little misleading, I was pretty sceptical about it, but I did more research on Origin Mattress only to find that it was indeed one of the top quality mattresses out there.
Looking at the Origin website, I realised that there was a lot more favourable information there and little did I know they were also award-winning.
At the end of the day, the product's information is essential to me, making me choose Origin Mattress.

So, the next step was crucial as I needed to wait for the delivery and actual product testing.
You may be wondering why I got the mattress without buying it, and the reason is that Origin Mattress has a 120-day full refund for unsatisfied customers.
This is the kind of confidence companies should provide consumers, and I feel that Origin Mattress understands this very well.
After placing my order, I waited a week for the mattress sent from Singapore. The day came when the delivery guy called me to say he was on the way.
Unboxing the Origin Mattress Malaysia
 |
| First, open the top of the box to remove the mattress from the inside. |
 |
| Cut with a blade or scissors along the side of the vacuum pack. |
 |
| When you cut, make sure it is laid out on your bed frame or floor. |
But the nice delivery guy assured me that this was, in fact, the Origin mattress, compressed into that little box, and I was still in doubt.
After sending it to my unit, I looked closely at the box, still unclear if it was the right one, and then unboxed the mattress.
To my surprise, the contents were vacuum-packed tightly and rolled up. Then I remembered watching a video of how mattresses were delivered this way.
I then followed the instructions to cut according to the instructions, and the Origin mattress started to unfold slowly.
My First Impression of the Origin Mattress

| The mattress takes a couple of minutes to fully unfold into the bed shape. |
 |
| The next step is to cut the second layer of plastic that seals the entire mattress. |

| Removing the inner plastic sheet will fully uncompress the mattress. |

After the mattress had unfolded, both of us were still in awe about the entire process. We then proceeded to move the mattress correctly on our queen bed frame.
The positioning was crucial as you can clearly see the top and bottom before placing them on the bed frame.
Spending the First Night on the Origin Mattress
Well, I did wait about 5 hours before trying out the Origin Mattress for the first time ever, and it was a drumroll moment for both of us.
After putting on the queen-sized bedsheet, the moment had come, and we got on the mattress. The first impression - It was cooling due to the cool gel layer on the top.
My Verdict of the Origin Mattress
It is there along with the world-class mattresses, meaning the comfort level and the sleep quality I experienced.
Back support and a semi-firm mattress are crucial to my age. You should consider changing your bed for anyone in their 30+ who is experiencing backaches or uncomfortable sleep.
Many people tend to try and save on mattresses and end up with low-quality and sub-standard beds that do not help the back.

Why Origin Mattress?
The main factor is that it is a made-in-Malaysia brand, and most Malaysian brands with latex are highly recommended.
Another reason is the hybrid factor, where they have combined latex, spring and memory foam into one beautiful and functional mattress.
The mattress consists of six layers of perfect comfort that makes up the Origin brand and comes with a 15-year warranty if you did not already know.
And if you buy it online, they will provide you with free delivery anywhere in Peninsular Malaysia.
On top of that, the company has sold over 70,000 mattresses in Malaysia since 2018, which is pretty impressive.
How to Buy Origin Mattress?
You can simply visit their official website called Origin Mattress and get it from there. Currently, there is a massive promotion ongoing with up to a 60% discount for all mattresses.
And if you are uncomfortable buying online, they have a showroom in Petaling Jaya at SS2. Here, you can see the mattress, test it and even ask questions.
What Else Does Origin Have?
Well, apart from their award-winning mattresses, they also have a beautiful bed frame, mattress toppers and one of the best pillows in the market.
Yes, the Origin Superior Coolmax Latex Pillow is totally one-of-a-kind, and it is also featured as one of the best 8 pillows in Singapore.
I think, after this article, I will be making my next purchase for the Origin Superior Coolmax Latex Pillow to complete my bed. I wish they also have a bolster in their product range, and maybe in time to come, they might.

Conclusion
Honestly, the Origin Mattress is not only for those above 30+ years but for everyone in general. Age has caught up, and the backaches are not messed with; hence I needed a good mattress.
There are many choices of mattresses available in the market, and to me, an excellent local brand is well worth the support, which is why I got the bed.

One of the plus points for this brand is that they are very engaging online and on social media, and for anyone who is old-school, you can visit their showroom in SS2, Petaling Jaya.
To top it all off, I just love the 120 night trial period they offer, which is remarkable and the fact that Origin is a brand by Malaysians for Malaysians.
I hope this review of the Origin Mattress in Malaysia has provided you with more than enough information, and if you still need more, you can always check their website.
