Slumberland

Slumberland is one of the oldest and most prestigious mattress manufacturers in the UK having first been established in 1919 in Cambridgeshire. To this day, Slumberland remains one of the largest mattress manufacturers, offering an impressive range of products in pocket spring support layers accompanied by numerous upper comfort layers, primarily of foam and latex.

When it comes to price point, Slumberland aims to capture the mid-range price tier while still offering upper range quality. This is evident in the pocket spring support layers offered across the lineup, a support that tops the charts in terms of body contouring and pressure relief.

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.

Slumberland Owner Satisfaction

Slumberland mattresses are well reviewed, expected given the brands huge selling power. When it comes to customer feedback, reviews are positive with thousands of reviews and happy customers. People particularly enjoyed the luxurious qualities offered from such a reasonably priced mattress with those customers believing they get very good value for money. Other positives come in the form of the support layer, offering full body contouring and pressure relieving qualities that offer a degree of orthopedic comfort that protects and helps against back pain.

Slumberland Supportiveness

When it comes to supportiveness, Slumberland deals almost exclusively with pocket spring base layers. I bring up pocket springs a lot because they are the true mark of a good quality support structure, they generally perform better in tests than open coil traditional springs and reflex foam. Pocket springs offer, on average, better support and better durability, lasting longer than competitors. Slumberland has core parts of their lineup dedicated to orthopedic support which will prove ideal for those looking for additional back and neck support. In terms of firmness, we see a variety of different tensions that will ensure there is something for everyone in the lineup. Recommendations typically see those with back or neck pain navigate toward firmer mattresses, accompanied by back sleepers and heavier weighted people. For those who sleep on their side or are of lower to average weight should perhaps consider a medium tension mattress. With support, it’s all relative and subjective to each person, so consider each mattress on its own individual merit before purchase.

Slumberland Durability

When it comes to durability, Slumberland makes some impressive strides with their lineup. Thanks to the pocket spring support layer you get a better base layer acting as a foundation for everything that sits above. What separates Slumberland from many other manufacturers is that most of the lineup features a 5-10 year guarantee. The guarantee is a testament to the manufacturer's belief in the product they are selling and how long it will typically last. Lots of the industry relies on a 1 year guarantee and helps demonstrate the level of quality offered within Slumberland mattresses. Combine this with the double sided nature of much of the range and you actually get twice the surface area of many competitors, further expanding on longevity and durability.

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.

Albeit expensive, what an absolutely fantastic mattress. We tried a few in the store (Llandudno) and were given loads of different tips, advice, and guidance, but this one really stood it for us in terms of quality, comfort, and price. We bought this alongside a King-sized ottoman and we could not be happier. Having used this mattress for just over two weeks, it's somewhat hard to believe, but we have slept-through the night every single night since we bought it, which isn't common for us! It is ridiculously comfortable, and just gets comfier the longer you lie on it. There is plenty of room to lie in comfort without disturbing the other person, and it doesn't seem to get too hot at night either. Despite the 1-star reviews - which I 100% disagree with - we have tried and tried to replicate the 'rolling over disturbs the other person' claim but it's just not true! The mattress seems to give a perfect balance when rolling over, and when awake or asleep, you can barely feel it. Once you're lying down, you just get comfier and you tend to stay in the same position without gettimg achey or fidgety which is great. I am a side-sleeper, and other half is a front-sleeper, and we adore this mattress. It suits us both perfectly. Our main concerns are that it is quite a tall mattress, so feels quite high off the ground/our bedside table at times (especially with our ottoman bedfeame), and extra deep fitted sheets only just cover the mattress on each side. We also just have a mattress topper, but are considering getting a full mattress cover (i.el wrap around the whole thing) instead, just to protect it that little bit more around the edges.

I wanted to use the mattress for a while before posting a review so after having slept on it for 2 months . - woke up after the first night and realised I got up without backpain. I have a crushed vertebrae and most mornings I ache so this was a good start. 60 nights later I have also discovered that if I have back pain after a day I go to bed and I wake up with less pain so the mattress is definitely aiding my aches very well. - I suffer from insomnia and yet again since having bought this mattress I have been sleeping so well that even those nights are getting less and less. When I do have sleepless nights it is so comfortable it doesn't bother me to lay awake and just listen to some relaxing music. I have medium firmness by the way. The one thing I have noticed is that the topper is not holding its shape all that well. It's only me using the mattress so that's a bit of a concern at the moment and something I will need to watch as the months go by. But after a lifetime of mattresses and back pain and sleepless nights this is the one and only mattress that so far has aided that THE BEST. Definitely worth buying if you have struggled with some of the same issues I have.

Delivery day felt like Christmas had come a week early. We spent hours in the Exeter store and the "regional floater", or, Corniche Steve I believe he said his name was. Excellent service and after hours of testing with combinations of pillows and a good 10 minutes on every other mattress, yes, EVERY, mattress in the store we were certain that this was the one. Took a few hours break and visited other local shops, none of which compared in quality of product, cleanliness of showroom or overall customer service. We returned a second time and headed straight fir this mattress and the rest is history. Took delivery today which again was a great experience. A call from the courier first thing to let us know today was still the delivery date, then another call an hour before arriving to make sure we were ready for them and then a quick and easy delivery straight to the bedroom. Benson, give Cornish Steve a bonus, he deserves it, and keep doing what you are doing. Your competitors are lacking behind and we will highly recommend you and your team to anyone looking to invest n their next bed. And now, if you don't mind, I'm off to sleep in this incredible bed for the first time.

This type of mattress was very new to me. I had my previous mattress for far too long and it was of the old style, 'standard' depth. So when I visited Bensons for Beds, both online and in person, I didn't know mattresses could be so high! I chose a firm mattress, because my previous mattress was semi-orthopaedic. I liked the technology of the Duo 1000 2-1 mattress and I slept on the 'warm' side. It definitely kept me warm during the night, to the point where I could sometimes push off the duvet! However, after a few nights, I soon realised that, as a 'side sleeper' I was feeling achy in my shoulders and in my hips when I awoke. I tried sleeping on my back and that was a bit better. I found that the firmness of the mattress was most suited to those who slept on their back, especially if you have a straight back. So I am very grateful for Benson's 40 night trial, which enabled me to return to their store and choose a medium mattress instead. Though expensive, it is worth investing in the right mattress for your body to get a good night's sleep, so you wake up rested, not achy. I shall review the new mattress separately in the near future.

We recently bought the Slumberland Orthopaedic Support Ultimate (Extra Firm) in a double. Delivery was excellent from start to finish. Communication was clear, it arrived within the expected timeframe and the delivery team were professional and efficient. The whole process felt very smooth. The mattress itself feels very well made and extremely supportive. My husband is already sleeping really well on it and finds the extra firm feel very comfortable. For me personally, I have fibromyalgia and I'm a side sleeper, so I'm still adjusting to the firmness. It is definitely very firm. I've experienced some lower back and shoulder ache in the first few nights, which I understand can be part of the adjustment period, especially with a mattress of this firmness. I'm hopeful it will soften slightly over time as we break it in, but I would say that if you have fibromyalgia or pressure-point sensitivity, it's worth spending extra time testing the firmness in store and considering whether extra firm is right for you. Overall, it feels like a high-quality, supportive mattress and we're pleased with the service we received.

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!

I’m leaving this review to be as helpful to future buyers as humanly possible…the struggle is real! I started my journey at dreams with a Therapur 2600 polar mattress. Sadly it was WAY too firm for me (I’m 5ft 9 and 11stone). Gave me shoulder and neck ache and left me tossing and turning throughout the night. It was considerably firmer than the showroom model too. On the plus side, the cooling technology really did seem to work. Sent night sweats packing! I exchanged via the 100 night comfort and planned to go for the therapur 4600 (medium support) which seemed to have a much thicker topper with more give. Previously I ignored any mattresses in store labelled ‘soft’ as I wanted a medium comfort level. The manager of the store talked me in to trying the Beatrice (one of his favs). Although labelled ‘soft’, it has a very supportive base mattress with a memory foam softer topper which allows the body to sink in (stopping shoulder aches) yet isn’t overly soft due to the support from beneath. All in all, the comfort level of this mattress is ‘just right’. No more tossing and turning. Hooray! I would definitely describe it as a medium support, not soft. It’s also wonderfully thick so if you like to sleep high up, this is a great choice. (Stepladder may be required if under 5ft 5 though)…Works perfectly with John Lewis deep fitted sheets. Only negative - sadly it isn’t cooling like the Therapur. I do find myself waking up much warmer which will only get worse now we are coming in to summer. If the Beatrice had cooling technology I would give it 5 stars and never leave my bed again. So overall, I’m very happy with this one. Not cheap…the price of a small used car...but comfy. Hopefully it stands the test of time. Watch this space :)

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

I recently invested in the Matilda Mattress, seeking a balance of support and softness for a restful night's sleep. This mattress, true to its medium designation, offers a comfortable compromise that caters to various sleep preferences. One of the standout features of this mattress is its versatility. The medium firmness level strikes a harmonious chord, providing adequate support for those who prefer a firmer feel while still offering a touch of plushness for those who enjoy a softer surface to sink into. From the first night, I noticed a significant improvement in my sleep quality. The mattress contours to the body, alleviating pressure points and promoting proper spinal alignment. Whether sleeping on my back, side, or stomach, I found consistent comfort throughout the night. Moreover, the construction of the mattress seems durable and well-crafted, promising long-term resilience without sacrificing comfort. The materials used also contribute to temperature regulation, ensuring a cool and pleasant sleep environment. Overall, my experience with the Matilda Mattress has been overwhelmingly positive. It strikes an excellent balance between support and comfort, making it suitable for a wide range of sleepers. If you're in the market for a versatile mattress that delivers on both fronts, this one certainly deserves consideration.

The mattress is excellent but there are a few things worth noting. 1) it takes a bit to get used to it. It's really soft and by back hurt for the first few days then it just felt like a cloud. 2) I tend to cuddle with my partner before going to sleep in the middle of the mattress. As the top layer is made out of memory foam when you then roll on to your sides, the middle of the mattress is still deformed from the weight of the two people cuddling, so for the first few minutes, on your side you feel like you're falling into the middle of the mattress. After about 5 mins, the middle springs back to its natural shape and you get the comfort on your side. 3) it's a really heavy mattress!!! If you have an ottoman frame you better go to the gym! 4) when you sit on the sides of the mattress because all your weight is on your bum and the top layer is memory foam, you sink quite a bit. I wouldn't be surprised if older people might struggle to get up. 5) overall I still give it a 9.5/10. Takes a bit to get used to it, but it's an excellent mattress. Quality is superb and it truly feels like a cloud if that's the feeling you're looking for
