Is it any good?
There are sensible constructions here, but I would shop by model rather than treating every Deluxe mattress as much the same. The pocket-sprung models use springs housed in individual fabric sleeves. The open-coil alternatives use connected rows of springs. For a main bed, my preference is pocket springs, and that is where I would focus this range.
I also like having a genuine choice between cotton upholstery and memory foam, rather than simply different names for similar mattresses. What needs more care is firmness: the Natural Touch 1500 listing describes soft support, while one owner calls it slightly firm. A spring count or an ‘Orthopaedic’ label is not enough to settle how a mattress will feel to you.
The range
The range divides into simpler open-coil options and pocket-sprung alternatives with different comfort fillings. These are the models listed here:
- Deluxe Ellesmere Medium Mattress: a medium-feel open-coil model with a micro-quilted finish and reinforced perimeter. A straightforward option for someone who wants a conventional sprung surface.
- Deluxe Ellesmere Firm Mattress: uses 12.5-gauge open-coil springs, a quilted damask cover and perimeter reinforcement. It is explicitly dual-sided, making it worth considering if you want a firm mattress you can flip.
- Deluxe Super Damask Orthopaedic Mattress: combines open-coil springs, white fibre fillings and a hand-tufted damask cover. For shoppers wanting traditional upholstery rather than memory foam, though owner comments question its firmness.
- Deluxe Memory Flex Medium Mattress: pairs open-coil springs with memory foam, a knitted stretch cover and hand tufting. It is the medium-labelled route into the Memory Flex construction.
- Deluxe Memory Flex Orthopaedic Mattress: also combines open-coil springs, memory foam and a reinforced perimeter. Compare its stated feel carefully rather than assuming the name guarantees extra firmness.
- Deluxe Buckingham Pocket 1000 Mattress: has individually pocketed springs, hypo-allergenic fillings and a hand-tufted striped damask cover. A sensible starting point if you want pocket springs under traditional fillings rather than memory foam.
- Deluxe Memory Elite Pocket 1000 Mattress: combines pocket springs and memory foam with medium support, hand tufting and a stretch-knit cover. My starting point for shoppers wanting that particular combination.
- Deluxe Memory Elite Pocket 1000 Extra Long Mattress: brings pocket springs and memory foam to a single mattress measuring 206cm long. Its clear purpose is extra length for taller sleepers.
- Deluxe Natural Touch Tufted Pocket 1000 Mattress: combines pocket springs, natural cotton layers and a woven damask cover. It is my first comparison for someone drawn to cotton upholstery.
- Deluxe Natural Touch Tufted Pocket 1500 Mattress: pairs pocket springs with natural cotton and a soft woven damask cover. Archers calls it soft; one owner found it slightly on the firm side.
Becky's reasoning for her picks
I favour the Natural Touch 1000 because its pocket-spring and cotton construction is straightforward, and one owner describes it as softer-feeling but supportive. I would not automatically move to the 1500 simply because its model number is higher.
The Memory Elite makes my list for a different reason: it offers a stated medium feel with memory foam over pocket springs. I prefer that foundation to the connected spring unit in the Memory Flex. For taller shoppers, the extra-long version solves a specific sizing problem, provided the bed base matches its length.
What owners say
One Natural Touch 1000 owner describes a softer but supportive feel and prompt, well-wrapped delivery. One Natural Touch 1500 owner, by contrast, calls that mattress slightly firm despite the listing's soft description. That disagreement is worth taking seriously when comparing the two.
A couple of Super Damask Orthopaedic owners wanted or expected more firmness, although both describe comfort positively. One Memory Flex Medium owner says it did not mould around them as expected. So don't expect a deep, sinking memory foam feel from this one.
One Memory Elite Pocket 1000 owner would have liked side handles to make moving it easier. One Buckingham owner describes finding a Euro-size double after struggling to replace an IKEA mattress, supporting the practical appeal of Deluxe's sizing options.
Buying it
Deluxe sells through stockists, and the models on this page are offered through Archers Sleep Centre. Check the selected dimensions carefully, especially for Euro sizes and the 206cm extra-long single. Measure the bed base rather than relying on its name.
One Memory Flex Orthopaedic owner reports delivery arriving when expected, while one Ellesmere Firm owner praises the delivery team's professionalism. Archers lists separate delivery arrangements for offshore and remote postcodes, so check yours before ordering.
