Sleepeezee

Sleepeezee has been making mattresses in the UK since 1924, and is one of only two mattress brands in the country to hold a Royal Warrant for supply to the Royal Household. The company is based in Rochester, Kent, and still manufactures its beds in the UK today, which is something that has become increasingly rare in a market now dominated by imported bed in a box products.

The range is broad and covers pocket sprung, hybrid and memory foam models, with the Hotel Collection and the Cooler collections sitting at the more popular end of the lineup. Sleepeezee also licenses a Jeff Banks range that brings a designer name to the traditional pocket sprung mattress format.

Sealy

Sealy has formerly separated from Silentnight, who once managed the UK arm of the popular retailer and will now be re-acquired by Tempur Sealy International. For those who don’t know, Sealy is the world's biggest bed brand that’s not down to luck, Sealy mattresses are highly regarded and at a price point that is achievable for the vast majority of people. What’s more, the company produces handmade beds right here in the UK using some of the finest fillings and upholstery.

Sealy’s Posturepedic technology makes it ideal for those with back and neck pain looking for that additional bit of support, becoming the only partner to be approved under the Orthopedic Advisory Board

Sleepeezee Owner Satisfaction

Sleepeezee mattresses score around 4.5 out of 5 across the main review platforms, which is a solid result for a brand that is mainly sold through third party retailers rather than direct to the consumer. Buyers who want a traditional, tufted pocket sprung mattress with natural fillings tend to be the happiest with what Sleepeezee delivers, because that is where the brand's strengths lie.

The Hotel Collection is particularly well received, as it replicates the kind of firm, cool feel you get in a good hotel bed. The main complaint we see, and it is fair to raise it, is that because most Sleepeezee mattresses are sold through shops rather than online, the trial period varies by retailer and is usually shorter than what a bed in a box brand would offer.

Sleepeezee Supportiveness

Sleepeezee builds its mattresses around pocket spring units in most of the range, with counts running from about 1,000 in the entry level models up to 2,800 in the higher end Backcare and Cooler ranges. The higher spring counts are not just a marketing number; they genuinely improve how closely the mattress contours to the body, which matters more for lighter sleepers who need the springs to react to less pressure.

Above the springs, Sleepeezee uses natural fillings such as wool and silk on the better models, which adds a layer of give without softening the core support. The firmness options run from soft through to extra firm, so most buyers will find a version that suits their preferred feel.

Sleepeezee Durability

As a UK manufacturer with a hundred year trading history, Sleepeezee has the kind of build quality that is hard to find in newer direct to consumer brands. The mattresses are hand tufted on the better models, which stops the fillings from shifting over time and is the main reason traditional mattresses last longer than their budget counterparts.

The Royal Warrant is not handed out to brands whose products fall apart, and the consumer mattresses use the same construction methods as the ones Sleepeezee supplies to the Royal Household. Owners regularly report getting eight to ten years of good service out of a Sleepeezee, and the materials used today suggest that should remain achievable for anyone buying now.

Sealy Owner Satisfaction

Satisfaction is at the heart of what Sealy offers. Since their inception Sealy has offered numerous different base and comfort layers to try and appease all areas of the market. The company has largely remained successful in their plight thanks to their strong support within the mid-tier market. Customers are most satisfied with the company's firm orthopaedic mattresses, for which they have become renowned.

Sealy Supportiveness

The Sealy lineup includes everything from soft through to firm tensions. The most popular in the range are the mediums which give the best overall support for most people, pairing well with the pocket spring support layer to offer full body contouring for all-round support without feeling too-firm.

For those looking for a bit more support, Sealy has firmness grades exceeding firm and entering extra-firm territory. We would personally recommend these only for specific circumstances as comfort is reduced slightly to better aid support.

Sealy Durability

When it comes to durability Sealy performs in line with expectation. We do see a bit of fallout from some of the cheaper in the range, particularly the open coil sprung models which, combined with a single sided comfort layer often do not have long-lasting properties and may not afford as good value as initially perceived due to their reduced operating lifespan. Contrary to this is the excellent pocket sprung options on offer from Sealy, particularly when paired with a double sided comfort layer. A combination of these will ensure you get a long standing mattress that will last far better and in-line with the average expectancy where people typically look at replacing their mattress (7 years)

I would like to say that the two gentlemen that delivered and assembled my bed was amazing! James and the driver ( my apologies for not remembering one of the other gentlemen’s name, I have a bunch of medical issues that causes slight memory loss and other issues) They were very polite, friendly and very helpful / informative, they even demonstrated how to open and close my divan ottoman bed as it’s been a while since I’ve had a demonstration at the dreams store. They even got the job done in less than 30 minutes and they made sure to clear up everything before they left to make sure that my safety was first, as I have mobility issues. They even phoned me before to inform me about what time they will be here and to go over any important information. They wore shoes covers to keep the dirt out they even changed them every time they went out and they were in their uniforms which were very clean and smart, again I have medical issues which can cause flare ups and they did everything to prevent any dirt coming into the house to put my medical issues first. He also made sure I was happy where the placement of the bed was and how it looked and I was very happy with my purchase. I can’t think of any more words to give about how pleased and happy I am with how they handle it and how pleasant they both were, alls I can say is that I’ll definitely recommend them to anyone as they are amazing. With that being said I believe they both deserve a pay rise and full on recognition for their outstanding service, because they respected my medical issues and gone out of their way to adapt to my needs and I’ve never had any other delivery team do that before and that meant a lot to me. Thank you very much both of you ?? As for the bed itself, it’s very lovely and it was my dream bed all along. The storage part Is very easy to open especially with my medical needs and I find that hard with other bed brands that don’t cater to disabled people, and it’s very spacious for bedding or extra storage essentials. The mattress was amazing and very comfortable, I had to get a medium firm mattress as it was recommended from my doctor for my fibromyalgia and other issues and it’s perfect. Finally the colour of the bed was exactly like the picture and it matched perfectly with my room colour scheme. So I’ll definitely recommend this company and I’ll definitely be purchasing from them again.

I was just passing Dreams and having had a mattress for nearly 9 years didn't realise that it should be replaced having seen the advertising from the doorway. Rayanne immediately approached me with a smile and warm welcome to find out what I needed. I didn't really know and assuring me with her knowledge she explained how the process worked with regards to finding a new mattress to specifically suit my needs without any pressure, jargon or hard sales push. This was a fresh revelation. It was like she was a professional expert here to advise and guide. She showed me the mattress test that would give me some ideas to what would suit my body, preferred sleeping position and budget. All this was done whilst reassuring me of their Covid arrangements to ensure safety and make me feel safe and reassured. After using the machine for 3 minutes she went through the recommended mattresses. She was not rushed, but to the point, politely and in a friendly manner. She made me feel relaxed and not pressured into buying but with such professionalism, knowledge and guidance I knew that I now needed a new mattress. I tried several (with my own pillowcase cover that was sprayed) and she allowed me to go back and try them again to make sure I was happy with the purchase. She reiterated that even after the mattress was delivered I still had time to change my mind. Such a great experience. Relaxed, professional and knowledgeable. This is how all sales staff should be and what a great employee Rayanne is! More like Rayanne please!! I be back in eight years time to buy again!! PS Since buying the mattress (3 weeks ago) I have had the best sleep ever. The mattress was actually half the cost of the previous one I bought (from a reputable high street store)! I'm coming back to Dreams in future!

A spring mattress that gives you a spring in your step!I could not speak more highly of this excellent organisation and the professionalism, alacrity and everything else that goes into choosing a new mattress. And at christmas/new year period too, when one would imagine they'd be rushed off their feet, let alone on their backs. Replacing your old mattress can be a rather daunting task, you really don't want to send anything back, let's face it. Do it right the first time or not at all. Especially if you are looking for great spinal support when you have back injuries and arthritis to match the hunchback of notre dame. Because while you don't want to wait forever for that 'dream' sleep, you don't want to rush in, be taken in by the hype that is 'out there' over "do I go no spring, extra spring, or memory foam?" I was going to go elsewhere before I laid my eyes on mattressnextday - and yes, I was taken in by the 'get your mattress in 2 days,' and why not too? This waiting for weeks while you suffer? This is no longer the 20th century chaps. So, I chose, and I could not have made a better choice. Dreamy, lovely, firm and not a smell from foam that you have to spend two days airing out in either nostril. I went for the sleepeezee cashmere royale pocket mattress - yes, why not, king size (5' x 6'6")569.95others were around this price, so why not. There was no courier fee but a charge for carrying it to my room of choice - a small price to pay at 14.95. I could not be happier. My back, shoulders, knees and ankles could not say thank you enough. The name 'sleepeezee' says it all, and mattressnextday was pretty much on the ball.

My fiancé and I had recently moved into our apartment. We were very very keen to spoil ourselves on a new mattress as we are very much under the impression that you spend a third of your life sleeping. We decided to visit your Wandsworth bridge road branch in which we were welcomed in a friendly and warm manner by Riccardo. Firstly, he offered us something to drink in which we then had a chat around what we were looking for. He then advised us to give the sleep match tool a go so we could pin point the exact mattress to our specific needs. Once the process was completed he then showed us all the mattresses that the the tool advised on. Very patiently he carried around two pillows as myself and my fiancé tried out all the mattresses. Having a budget in mind from the start it was due the expertise of Riccardo that we decided to go over our budget and really spoil ourselves on a top end mattress, which we purchased. With regards to the delivery, unfortunately our order was placed on the 22nd of March, a few days before the lockdown. This ultimately had a massive impact on our delivery day which was meant to be on the 15th of April but due to COVID-19 we only managed to receive our order on the 8th of June. All I can say was that Dreams did keep us up to date and we were very much aware of the issues. We are very happy with our new mattress and our sleep has never been better, well worth the wait. Thanks so much! Regards Andy

Lovely welcome at the Mansfield store. Tried the bed that takes your weight, hight and slept position's (very clever) the bed moved under us and worked out everything. We were then given a list of mattresses matching our needs, we picked this mattress because it felt amazing. Nice topper, firm like we wanted for our bad backs but comfortable. It was more than we wanted to pay but it was a case of ' you get what you pay for '. We came to Dreams 10 years ago brought a fantastic mattress, but our lovely dog destroyed it after a year so we brought cheap but recommended mattresses. This messed our backs up so be brought another different cheap highly recommended a few years later, then another. So after wasting our money on cheaper mattresses that claim bold statements we came back to dreams. This mattress is top quality from inside to outside. You need to go to the shop to find your fit for your needs but if this is the one you like I can honestly say it's fantastic and my body can sleep in the proper position and I wake up feeling refreshed. See you next time, thank you.

Lying on a bed in a shop fully clothed for a few minutes is one thing. Lying on it for 8 hours in thin nightwear is something else. I tried the Newton bed in the shop and it seemed comfortable, although it may have been there years and hundreds of customers may have bounced on it. Once delivered (and Bensons were totally professional in that regard) I got backache after one night. Others have remarked their bed seemed firmer than in the shop. Dreams sell the same mattress but they call it Hagen and rate it very firm which it certainly is. I found I could get my hands behind the small of my back and exactly the same when I lay on the floor !! I also got cubital tunnel syndrome (hard bed pressed on shoulder and elbow causing pain down arm and little finger went numb !) A topper improved things a bit but if you need a topper to make your bed comfy you're probably lying on the wrong bed ! After a week of pain I decided to switch to a medium Newton which you wouldn't know existed if you only went in the store and didn't look online. I zoom called Bensons HQ who confirmed none of their shops displayed it. So why didn't I order a medium in the first place ? I didn't like the idea of buying a bed I hadn't tried first (if that is any guide) but in the end I was forced to ! Now medium doesn't mean soft. It just means slightly less firm !! I phoned Sealy HQ who explained the only difference is Newton Medium has firm and medium foam, not extra firm foam like their firm version. I'd give Newton firm a 9/10 rating for firmness and Newton Medium 7/10 although that may ease to a 6 in a few months. Incidentally I did consider the Bronte too. I had a pillow top but found it got frayed and torn after 6 years (I'm a restless sleeper), was heavier to turn, higher and the sheets didn't fit. As others have mentioned I found it warm to lie on after just 10 minutes so wondered how hot it would be after 8 hours. To be brutally honest I didn't think it worth an extra 400 which is a lot for a pensioner ! If you want a soft top buy a mattress topper for the Newton Medium and save yourself the extra expense. A final point, I found the Newton Medium somewhat lighter than the firm, probably due to the lack of hard heavy-duty foam.

I've struggled with my sleep for years. I've had memory foam mattresses, I've tried multiple different toppers but always awoke in the night either with back pain or to feel myself sliding off the edge. Out last mattress was an improvement but after having out first child and being condemned to sleeping on the lip of the bed I decided enough was enough. We were getting a Super King bed and getting an actual good mattress! We went to Bensons and tried out a myriad of options. Naturally I was drawn to the most expensive option but I couldn't justify spending close to 5000 on a new bed. We tried the Sealy Newton Posturepedic Mattress and after laying on it for about 10 minutes I knew I'd found the one. It was extra firm and supported me in every position. It was love! We bought it from an Outlet store in Doncaster and got an unbelievable deal on it and even managed to get it delivered the next day. Getting it upstairs was a struggle and as it was being bent I was a bit apprehensive that it wouldn't bounce back. My nerves were settled as soon as it was on the bed frame. No issues what so ever. I was expecting a few nights to get adjusted to it but that evening something magical happened. I slept like a baby! No issues; no waking up with an aching back, no feeling like falling due to the reinforced edges, no waking up feeling fatigued still. We've had the bed for a fortnight now and I don't think I've slept so well in a long time. My Samsung watch is also saying my sleep is on the "excellent" rating. I'm massively impressed in this mattress, I'm enjoying having some actual space in bed due to upgrading to Super King size. If you're in the market for an extra firm mattress that holds you and supports you I highly recommend this one. We also adopted the having separate duvet covers that the Scandinavians do and this has also helped.

I wanted to 'wait' before posting my review as I was told by my chiropractor it takes around a month for your body to adjust to a new mattress...Having experience a back impact injury February 2016, I have been VERY impatient for it to be resolved quickly. This not being the case!This is my 3rd mattress tried and I must say the 'only' one that has made a difference :) (In saying that I have also had to purchased several pillows, 9 to date, in order to alleviate my pain fully.)I adore the firmness of the mattress and 'feel' I am getting the support in the correct place. I literally sleep the whole night through. I had been waking feeling a little stiffness, but this has now gone. The tightness in my middle back is definitely reduced, as my 'monthly deep tissue massage' is testament to.I'm pleased that the mattress is deep and had no problem getting a fitted sheet to cover it. With a mattress protector nor did I notice the button detail mentioned by several people- I just do not feel them. It was no issue for me- I'm getting (finally) a great night's sleep :)The handles on the sides have made it easier to manhandle, although it is quite hefty, we managed. I have not yet had to turn it.I did do my research however prior to buying, both with comparing prices to other sites (this one is TRULY exceptionally competitively priced!!) and with reading other people's reviews to make my final selection.What can I say... I am a VERY satisfied customer, getting probably a better night's sleep than I did prior to my injury and would thoroughly recommend my purchase :)

Wow. This mattress has literally changed our lives!!! Before we got this mattress we were constantly waking up with bad backs. But after some good experiences with Sealy Posturepedic Mattresses in hotels on holiday we decided to get one ourselves. The manger at the Bensons for beds shop was amazing. He put no pressure on us and went through all the things to consider before the purchase ( including if we could physically get our mattress into our room with the configuration/ layout of our stairs and landing.. that is why in the end we went for the zip and link) We also managed to buy the mattress when there was an amazing 20% off and got another 6 % off with a blue light card. The shop manger also price matched pillows and duvets which meant all in all we got a fabulous deal ! But the proof is in the pudding.. after a few nights adjusting to the new mattress we started to sleep better and better not just a better night sleep but no more back ache in the morning! The edge support on the Sealy Orwell Posturepedic Zip & Link Mattress is also a superb benefit. No more rolling off the mattress when you are close to the edge or sitting on the edge. Delivery was also spot on . Arriving exactly on time and a very polite delivery team. All in all this is one of the best purchases we have made and would do it again in a heartbeat

Had a lot of help choosing a mattress from the staff of Bensons at Kilmarnock, especially Isobel & Darren, who were very patient. Thank you. We eventually chose the Sealy Orwell Posturepedic mattress despite some mixed reviews. We have had the mattress nearly a month now and can honestly say that both my husband & I find it very comfortable. It is firm (our choice) but soft & supportive at the same time. We did notice a manufacturing smell as mentioned in previous reviews when we first got it but that disappeared within a few days and yes, again from previous reviews, you can be aware of the other person moving about but we find it's not that much of an issue. We also purchased some pillows at the same time which we felt helped overall with spine alignment. We were kept well informed about the delivery of our mattress & pillows. Also hats off to the delivery drivers who did a brilliant job of recycling our old mattress which was extremely heavy. Overall all we are very happy with this mattress at the moment and hope it continues to provide us with a great night's sleep in the future. It is difficult to recommend such items as everyone's needs are as individual as they are but we find it definitely suits ours.
