Hugo vs. Sleepy Panda

Customers made it clear—the best part of Hugo is the cushioned support. Many have tried a traditional memory foam design, but woke up with sore shoulders because it was too firm. That rarely happens with Hugo. Its comfort layer allows sleepers to sink slightly, while the underlying memory and base foam provides firm support.

In many cases, hybrid mattresses are more affordable than all-foam models. This rings true for the Sleepy Panda, even compared to other hybrid designs. It's one of the least expensive options in our index, and the company offers a Buy Now, Pay Later option.

Since Hugo is new to the market, there are not many customer reviews. This makes it difficult for sleepers to understand why customers love (or hate) Hugo. There are many five and four-star reviews, but that did not help us figure out Hugo's flaws. If we had to guess one issue, it would be that memory foam retains heat. So this mattress may be warmer if you're transitioning from a spring or hybrid design.

Unresponsive customer service is Sleepy Panda's downfall. Several customers said they experienced issues contacting the customer service team and returning the mattress. Before buying, be aware of your location and see if the service team answers your questions.
