Study details
1. Ergonomics (Kassensturz weighting: 40%) - Grade 5.5/6
What is being tested?
Ergonomics is crucial to ensure that a mattress supports the natural shape of the spine and adapts optimally to the body's contours. A good ergonomic mattress prevents uncomfortable pressure points and ensures even weight distribution. Conversely, poor ergonomics can lead to pain and tension because the mattress does not provide sufficient support.
How does the Ora Ultra perform?
The Ora Ultra mattress is specifically designed to offer outstanding ergonomics. With our innovative 7-zone technology, the mattress adapts precisely to different body regions – from head to toe. The shoulder zone is particularly important, as it is often a weak point in conventional mattresses. Our mattress features specially developed ViscoAir inserts in the third layer, providing perfect pressure relief and support for the shoulders.
Rating: 5.5/6
While the Ora Ultra exceeds almost all expectations in terms of ergonomics, we could optimize it further in the future by offering even more specific adjustments for different body types.
2. Shelf life (cash register check weighting: 30%) - Grade 5/6
What is being tested?
Durability describes a mattress's ability to maintain its shape and support over many years. A durable mattress should show no significant indentations or deformations even after years of intensive use. Conversely, weak materials and poor workmanship often lead to rapid wear and tear and a shortened lifespan.
How does the Ora Ultra perform?
The Ora Ultra underwent rigorous internal testing, far exceeding standard requirements. While the consumer magazine Kassensturz simulates 60,000 cycles, we rolled our mattress 100,000 times – without any visible wear or indentations. This exceptional durability is the reason we offer a 20-year guarantee on our mattress, a unique offer in Switzerland.
Rating: 5/6
Although its durability is impressive, the Ora Ultra mattress is priced in the higher segment. Therefore, this quality must justify the higher price, which it undoubtedly does.
3. Sleeping comfort (Kassensturz weighting: 20%) - Grade 5.2/6
What is being tested?
Sleep comfort is subjective, but it is influenced by various objective factors, such as the firmness of the mattress, the feel of the bed, and how well the mattress supports the body. A mattress should be neither too hard nor too soft, but rather adapt to the user's preferences and be comfortable in every sleeping position.
How does the Ora Ultra perform?
The Ora Ultra mattress offers an excellent sleeping climate thanks to its combination of memory foam and breathable ViscoAir inserts. The third layer of the mattress, in particular, provides outstanding pressure relief through its profiled cut technology and adapts perfectly to individual sleeping needs. Our testers found the mattress extremely comfortable in back, side, and stomach sleeping positions.
Rating: 5.2/6
Despite its outstanding comfort, the Ora Ultra is priced higher. However, for the price, it offers an unparalleled sleeping experience and exceptional durability.
4. Material quality (cash register check weighting: 10%) - Grade 5/6
What is being tested?
The quality of a mattress's materials affects both its comfort and durability. High-quality materials are not only more durable but also healthier, as they contain fewer pollutants and offer a better sleeping environment. Lower-quality mattresses, on the other hand, tend to wear out faster and may contain harmful chemicals.
How does the Ora Ultra perform?
The Ora Ultra mattress is made from the finest, pollutant-free materials, ensuring durability and a comfortable sleeping environment. Our fourth layer consists of premium comfort foam with a 7-zone cutting technique, offering the perfect balance between support and softness. High-quality workmanship and careful material selection guarantee that the mattress meets the highest standards.
Rating: 5/6
The material quality of the Ora Ultra is outstanding, but there is still room for minor optimizations, especially with regard to even more sustainable material options.
5. Value for money - Grade 5.4/6
What is being tested?
The price-performance ratio assesses how well the quality and performance compare to the price. An expensive mattress should be justified by superior features and durability, while cheaper mattresses often require compromises in quality.
How does the Ora Ultra perform?
With a price above average, the Ora Ultra mattress is certainly an investment. However, for this price, you also receive a mattress that achieves top marks in terms of ergonomics, durability, and sleeping comfort, and comes with a unique 10-year guarantee. Furthermore, we offer our customers a 200-day trial period to ensure the mattress is a perfect fit – an offer that is unparalleled in Switzerland.
Rating: 5.4/6
Although the mattress is more expensive than many others on the market, the superior quality and generous warranty conditions justify the price.
