While Happsy isn’t an ancient company, its journey to becoming a recognized organic mattress brand has been interesting and relatively quick. Here’s a timeline of its history:
2015: The seed is planted. Happsy founders, a group of health and wellness enthusiasts, become frustrated by the lack of truly organic and affordable mattress options. They envision a company that prioritizes both sleep health and environmental sustainability.
2016: The first Happsy mattress is born. Utilizing organic materials like GOTS-certified cotton, latex, and wool, the company launches its flagship mattress, initially targeting the online market.
2017-2018: Building brand and awareness. Happsy focuses on online marketing and customer engagement, building a strong community around the idea of “healthy sleep, happy life.” They garner positive reviews and testimonials, establishing themselves as a reliable organic mattress choice.
2019-2020: Expansion and innovation. Happsy expands its product line, introducing pillows, sheets, and bedding accessories made from the same organic materials. They also partner with environmental organizations and advocate for sustainable practices in the mattress industry.
2021-Present: Continued growth and focus on customer experience. Happsy continues to gain popularity, attracting customers seeking natural sleep solutions. They refine their customer service and offer a 120-night trial period and 10-year warranty on their products.
Key milestones:
- 2017: Featured in Oprah Magazine’s “O List” of favorite things.
- 2018: Named a “Best Mattress for Side Sleepers” by Sleep Advisor.
- 2019: Achieved B Corporation certification, recognizing their commitment to social and environmental responsibility.

Overall, Happsy’s history is one of rapid growth and dedication to its core values of organic materials, healthy sleep, and sustainability. They continue to innovate and expand their offerings, aiming to make the world a happier place, one mattress at a time.
The Happsy Mattress is a mattress that uses primarily organic materials such at GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) Cotton and GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard) latex in addition to a spring system. A queen size Happsy retails for $1,399 which puts it at a very competitive price point for an all-natural mattress. What really sets this apart from the competition is just how many certifications and accolades this mattress has.
Overview of the Happsy Mattress
The Happsy mattress can be ordered direct from their website and will arrive about a week after placing your order. Unlike most online mattress companies, the Happsy will come in multiple boxes That’s because the latex layer cannot be compressed like foam and so will come in a separate box. Below is a photo of what I received for my Happsy mattress plus topper. The mattress will ship to your door though so there’s no need to schedule a delivery.
The Happsy comes with a 120 night trial where if you don’t like it, you can return it for a full refund. This is still rare with natural mattresses. There aren’t many brands that offer a trial period. Additionally, this mattress comes with a 10 year warranty.
Below is a video overview of the Happsy. I’m sitting on it with the optional latex topper.
Construction of the Happsy Mattress

My Happsy Mattress Findings
The Happsy comes with or without a topper. If you go with the topper option just note that it fits on top of the mattress and is not integrated. This shouldn’t be an issue though when you put sheets over everything.
Below is a photo of how much sinkage you can expect with the mattress topper option. I like a more plush feel and if you do too, then I strongly recommend getting the topper.
Below you can see how much sinkage you get without the topper. There is a very pronounced difference here.
The Happsy is a bouncy mattress because it is springs and latex. Here’s video showing motion transfer on the mattress.
Is the Happsy Mattress right for you?
People seeking out a firm natural mattress will want to go with the Happsy. If you want a plush feel, I strongly recommend adding the latex topper. Latex has a unique feel and is instantly responsive, unlike memory foam which lags. Latex is a more resilient material in that it will last longer than foam so it is a worthwhile investment assuming you like the feel.
The field of online organic / natural mattresses is still limited so it’s welcoming to see the Happsy come in at such a competitive price point.
For reference, a queen Avocado Mattress retails for $1,399 and $1,799 for the pillow top option whereas a queen Happsy is $1,199 and $1,598 for the pillow top.

Which mattress is right for you?
If you are looking for a more affordable mattress, Happsy is a good option. If you are looking for a more luxurious mattress with a longer trial period and warranty, Avocado is a good option. If you are a side sleeper, you may prefer the softer Happsy mattress. If you are a back or stomach sleeper, you may prefer the firmer Avocado mattress.
