Sea Horse hails from Hong Kong and is one of the most popular budget mattresses in Singapore. The Sea Horse Crystal mattress seems to be made entirely of a high-density PU Foam. At just 17 cm thick, the offering seems to be a mattress core without comfort layers. We found this to be extremely firm, yet not optimally supportive. When sleeping on your back, the mattress pushes your hips to the surface and doesn’t support the arch in the lower back enough. There’ll also be too much pressure on the shoulder if you lie on your side, pushing your spine out of neutral alignment and perhaps causing sore shoulders. Unless you like the feeling of sleeping on an almost solid block, the Crystal mattress will not feel comfortable on its own.
However, the PU foam itself feels pretty solid and responsive – suitable as a support layer. If you are on a budget, or already own one, we recommend using a foam mattress topper to introduce a comfort layer to the mattress. A memory foam mattress topper will feel less firm and cradle your body, while a latex mattress topper will be more responsive and bouncy.
