Harrison Spinks vs Dormeo Mattress Reviews

I have had this mattress for 5 weeks now. When I first unpacked it, there was a slight smell for a day, but since then it hasn't smelt at all. (It smelt of canvas which I found quite pleasant actually!) It feels nice and soft each night when you first get on it, but then can feel it supporting you. I guess this is what is meant by a medium-firm mattress. (My old mattress was over 20 yrs old; if anything it would have been rated as very firm!) I have had no problem sleeping with this mattress, no aches or pains when waking up. It is recommended to rotate the mattress once per week for 12 weeks, so I am still doing that. It is easy to do using the handles on the side of the mattress. No depressions in the mattress have appeared, and it still feels just like new. Although we have already had both hot nights and cold ones, I have never felt too hot or cold due to the mattress (obviously the duvet used is also going to make a difference). Overall I am extremely satisfied with the mattress, and with mattressonline.

To be perfectly honest, I'm not convinced but I think the problem is me, not the product. The mattress is clearly very good quality, but it's a lot firmer than I was hoping for and expecting from the soft/medium description. On the spare bed, which is a fully sprung base, it works reasonably well, which is why I haven't yet engaged the 60 day return option, but on the bed I ordered it for originally, which is a solid Ottoman base, it is way too hard. I'm sure that with use it will soften up, but it's still way too hard for me personally to sleep on comfortably and I doubt it will ever be that soft. Indeed, in desperation I ended up going to a shop and buying a much cheaper (and far inferior quality), softer mattress because I simply couldn't do 30 days sleeping on that mattress. I am going to contact Mattress Online today and enquire about swapping it for something softer.

Good Points: Quality is obvious. If we hadn't had a tempur for over ten years, I would say this is a really comfy bed and would be happy for its life time use. Albeit, only five years gauranteed! Having had a tempur though, I would probably revert back. Mainly due to spouse requiring that extra softness and a complete awareness removal from any turn/roll movement by partner. While this is a fantastic make and constructed with the Best Materials, we have been served well with the tempur and too be honest, can say, there aren't any regrets with the purchase. Improvement Points: Comparing this to our tempur, it would be difficult to separate, based on the very different structures. That said, a longer guarantee period would be an advantage. Price for price - this would be a distinct advantage.

We tried the mattress in the shop and picked it over the medium/firm version. However when the mattress was delivered it was so firm it caused my partner hip pain. We contacted mattress inline via the 60 day sleep guarantee and they swapped it next day. The service was 5* and reason we buy all our mattresses via them. The new mattress is the medium firm and is super comfy even after the first night. Makes me think the first was faulty it was that hard and nothing like the shop one we tried.

The mattress smells like a farmyard, not natural, and has made our bedding smell as well as the bedroom. This is not the natural smell the company claims, there is something wrong with the mattress. We cannot have the mattress removed from our home or changed for another month as the company wants to send somebody to check the mattress, but they cannot visit us for the next four weeks. Do not ever buy a mattress from Harrison Spinks unless you enjoy your bedroom and bed linen smelling like you are sleeping in a barn on a farm.

So far (4wks in) it's been good, I'm slowly seeing an improvement in my sleep and feeling better rested. May it continue
