Igel vs Dormeo Mattresses

After sleeping on the mattress, which is definitely more comfortable than our old one, we will be requesting an exchange for the extra firm because the firm that we ordered is just not firm enough. I must say though, that I am disappointed in the after sales customer care. At delivery we realised that the wrong pillows were put n the order form, which I did not pick up at the time of the order. When I called the shop, I was told that they can't do exchanges in the shop and that I would have to pay £10 extra per pillow becuase the special was over. I know which pillows I ordered at the time of the order and I believe that the wrong pillows were deliberately put on the order and if caught at the time would have been corrected, but because I only caught it after delivery, I was told I would have to pay more. I think the customer service like this after such is big order is disappointing. 2 stars for that.

I’m glad to write this review 3 weeks after delivery of my new mattress. Initially, I found it much firmer (purchased medium firmness) than the one tried in the showroom. In fact, I did not like it after first night’s sleep and then after 3 nights wanted to return it! But after some research I decided to persevere. According to some experts advice new mattresses require “breaking in” just like a pair of new shoes. My body got used to the old memory foam unsupportive mattress, hence why the new one felt so awfully uncomfortable. I’m somewhat perplexed why the staff wouldn’t explain/mention this?! So to summarise, my new mattress is absolutely amazing. I wake up feeling refreshed, with no aches, pain or stiffness in the lower back. I would highly recommended - but please give it a chance before you decide it’s not right for you. It’s well worth it!

Quite different to my old mattress and I was conscious I could feel the pattern too much on the first night, however, within a few days I’ve realised I have had unbroken sleep and feel so much better. I am no longer concerned about the pattern on the mattress, it is so comfortable, firm but with a soft topping that seems to mould to your shape and I haven’t been too hot like I usually am. I would recommend this mattress if you can afford to spend that little bit more; I value my sleep so feel the price is appropriate for the luxury comfort this mattress offers.

I’d made a previous expensive mistake- so was very wary - this one is really comfortable, as a side sleeper the IGel helps my shoulder and hip pains, relieving pressure but not too much “sink in” impeding turning over as for memory foam. I have yet to find out if the claims of regulating temperature ( “neither too hot nor too cold”) hold true, but certainly I’ve not been too hot, which I feared. Unable to provide an expert opinion of quality or durability, nor comparison of value for money. But it’s worth it whatever for a good night’s sleep.

The mattress has taken about 2 weeks to start settling in. It moulds nicely to us lying down and were used to rolling over or getting up out of bed as it's a totally different feeling to a normal mattress. For £1700 it was a big purchase and we probably would say its a bit pricey for what it is but we're still glad we got it as it's a huge improvement to the previous standard spring mattress we had. The I gel cooling is definitely a gimmic. It's just lots of foam. A very deep mattress and you will need extra deep fitted sheets.

My husband got me this mattress for my birthday, I was suffer with painful hubs and shoulders, plus I have spinal stenosis in my middle and upper back. Every night was painful and constantly waking up with m6 old mattress. So hubby being the 3very so thoughtful person he is got me this Dormeo mattress fir my birthday, and WOW WOW WOW. NO MORE SORE HIBS OR PAIN ANYWHERE. I sleep better I still wake up once a night fir the bathroom, but it’s the best present he ever brought me. We turn it once a month to keep it even , you just sink into it , I can feel were my bottom goes. and it quickly reshape ps to your body as you move. Just a brilliant mattress. I also have the Dormeo Octasense Pillow which is the best pillow in th the world. Had it for a year now and it’s still as new. Brilliant support and softness that make you feel so comfortable. Adds to my grey night sleep. Many Thanks Dormeo

At the beginning of 2020 my husband and I decided to retire our mattress and splurge on a new one. Three mattresses later (all of which caused aggravation and discomfort to an existing lower back issue that I have) and four months later, we trepidatiously bought a dormeo mattress, but prayed it would alleviate the issues I was having...... our prayers were answered! The mattress we purchased is a hybrid, with spring coils and a memory foam top; it is not too soft and not too firm, which is perfect for my lower back pain. Unlike the initial memory foam mattress, I actually sink into this one rather than just laying on top. It is easy and light enough to turn, asper the instructions, and the size is true to size standards; all of my original king sized sheets fit this mattress perfectly. Sorry for the long spiel, I'm just extremely happy with this mattress and my back is very thankful also.

I am very pleased with this mattress. It took some getting used to. Having slept on it for 3 months now, I can feel a difference in my back. The support it provides is excellent. It is unfortunate that I couldn't try the mattress before buying, but based on the description from Dormeo, I went for it. This mattress feels as good as other well known and more expensive memory foam mattresses. One negative is that there are no handles on the sides of the mattress to enable rotating it. So it is difficult to hold it to rotate. It comes rolled up, and then you open it and roll it out. But if I had any reason to return it, i don't believe i would ever be able to fit it down the stairs again. Fortunately that is not necessary for me, but worth considering before buying.

We purchased the soft/medium mattress and it is so comfortable. I suffer from back and joint pain and found it a real struggle getting comfortable at night and getting out of bed in the morning...we had a silentnight “orthopaedic” mattress it very uncomfortable and was anything but silent. It took a couple of weeks to get used to our new Dormeo mattress but we are so glad we invested in it. No more backache!!! We also purchased the memory foam pillows, again they are extremely comfortable but are not a standard size pillow which is a pain when trying to find pillowcases that fit. The only thing I can complain about is the heat that is generated from the mattress. I would highly recommend purchasing from Dormeo plus you can spread the cost over 3 months

Ordered this at the begging of May and received it within the last couple of weeks (been a delay due to coronovirus issues). The mattress has taken a couple of weeks to get used as took time to work out which side/firmness/ support suited me. Comfortable mattress, arrived in perfect condition. My only thing I would like to mention is that this mattress appears better suited for a couple Sharing a bed (obviously), as a single person it has taken a bit of time to break in and can sometimes be a little uncomfortable as I am using it alone. Neither the less a great comfortable mattress but feel it is better suited to a couple who will sleep on both sides, little more difficult to get comfortable as a single person sleeping in the middle.
