Spring 2026 Updates: Simply Bensons continues as the Bensons for Beds own-brand umbrella, covering the value and mid-range end of the retailer's product mix. The line-up has held its 2021 expansion and the separation from the broader Bensons for Beds catalogue is still the main reason the brand exists. For buyers shopping within the Bensons ecosystem, Simply Bensons is the route to the lower price tiers where the construction is more basic than the iGel lines above it. Worth checking the spec sheet against individual models, because the Simply Bensons umbrella covers a wide range of price points and constructions.
Autumn 2021 Update: Simply Bensons has expanded its line-up this quarter to feature even more mattresses, bed frames and divan sets, diverting from the previous Bensons For Beds umbrella previously shared between these products. Nothing has changed with the quality however.
How to choose a Simply Bensons mattress?
Buying a mattress requires several considerations to be kept in mind and the process is no different regardless of the manufacturer or brand you are choosing. First and foremost is the support layer. Depending on whether you are a back sleeper or firm sleeper and depending on your weight will provide a suitable tension you should be considering. Typically back sleepers can have a slightly firmer mattress while side sleepers should have a slightly softer mattress. The heavier you are, the more firmness will be necessary to contour against your body as it sinks into the product.
Pocket spring mattresses offer the best support in our opinion while open coil traditional spring units have reduced support but a far cheaper price point.
Price point varies across the range but all fit within the low-medium in terms of consumer cost. If you are looking for spending further into the upper range of pricing, perhaps for a longer guarantee or deeper fillings, consider a Slumberland mattress.
Simply Bensons mattress reviews
Most owners are happy with what they got for the money, and comfort and support come up again and again in the reviews. One owner wrote “The quality is excellent for the price, and it feels well made.” The complaints are fewer but read them before you buy. Some owners found the delivered mattress firmer than the one they tried in the shop, and one wrote “The delivered product is nothing like the ones in store.” The rolled foam mattress draws two gripes of its own. A few owners measured it thinner than described (“mine came in at less than 15cm”) and a few reported a smell that hung around, with one writing “after four weeks there is still an awful smell.” The guarantee provides an excellent additional factor that further demonstrates the belief the manufacturer has in providing a good quality product.
Additional Info
Bensons offers free delivery on selected mattresses and beds, and charges for delivery on other orders. When it comes to guarantees, all products at time of writing are backed by an impressive 5 year guarantee which offers a number of protections against manufacturer defects. The market typically sees 1 year guarantees as commonplace and so it is encouraging to see such a high one offered from Simply Bensons.
One thing to check is whether a mattress is one sided or two sided. The lineup features both and the benefit of two sided mattresses is that they have twice the surface area, increasing durability and prolonging lifespan. Single sided mattresses in the range have the benefit of being cheaper and so there are positives to whichever you choose.
