This bed (in the double size) has lived up to my expectations and then some. I opted for the natural colour, as it blends beautifully with my off-white and oak bedroom furniture. The woven textured fabric and colour choice help it fit in perfectly with the overall style of the room. In terms of features, I love the USB-C and USB-A ports located on each side of the headboard, which are perfect for conveniently charging mobile phones. The button-operated mechanism, also positioned on each side of the bed, makes lifting and lowering the ottoman effortless. The electrically operated struts take all the weight, and after approximately one minute, the bed emits a reassuring beep to confirm it is securely locked in place. The built-in LED light bar underneath provides excellent illumination for the storage area, which is impressively spacious. Although the assembly instructions estimate 90–120 minutes for two people, I would say this is slightly optimistic, as it took closer to three hours. That said, the instructions are very clear and easy to follow step by step. Another great feature is the ability to choose which side the ottoman opens from, making it a versatile option regardless of room layout. Changing this at a later date would require some disassembly, as the struts would need repositioning, but they are clearly labelled and colour-coded, making the process straightforward enough. I use a 28cm deep mattress, which fits the bed and headboard very well, providing excellent support both when sitting up and when sleeping. Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase and confident it will last for many years thanks to its excellent build quality and solid, durable feel.

Hi I have an adjustable bed. brought my last Tempur mattress designed for adjustable beds about 8 years ago. I was sleeping less than an hour a night for 18 months and even scared to go to bed due to chronic pain. Being disabled you get VAT relief on items to help with your condition. When I purchased my first Tempur mattress I got VAT taken off when I purchased it. Due to not being able to sleep flat from 4 major spine and spinal cord surgeries all leaving me in more pain and worse off from surgery. We could not afford a new Tempur mattress really the only silver lining was we would get the VAT taken off went to same store, we live in same home. Staff said they don’t do it when you purchase in store anymore and it would be down by customer services. I gave them evidence and they sent that off when we brought the new mattress that is specifically designed for adjustable beds. I phoned after delivery to check about how much the payments would be with the VAT removed. But was very unhelpful and said it was a luxury purchase and not due VAT off. I explained that we confirmed before we brought it with the guys in the shop and they said it would be deducted through customer services. The mattress has work wonders and I’m now getting 3 hours sleep a night. Which is nearly four fold. The woman I spoke to probably 2 wks ago said a manager whom could deal with this was going to phone me at some point but still haven’t heard anything. We did everything right to ask and check.

I bought this pillow for myself and it wasn’t the pillow for me even though I tried it in the shop. However, I am happy to say it turned out to be good for my husband who is very happy with it. I tried several pillows in the shop and I thought it would be the best option (medium) as I’ve preferred firmer pillows in the past. When I first went to bed it seemed nice and I like the texture very much and slept well the first night but during subsequent nights it seemed harder and I felt it flattened out too much at the edge under my neck and I needed more neck support as I have a weakness in this area and sometimes my shoulder. In the end I bought a pillow online which is recommended by physios and it’s consistently good for me. However, it is each to his own and my husband is sleeping better with this pillow and he does have a back problem but not similar to mine. I did wonder if I should have tried the soft pillow as in the shop it was very comfortable and more pliable under my neck but at the price I wasn’t prepared to buy another! I think these pillows are so different to traditional pillows that a soft one might feel more like a medium in another type as the filling is so unique and you don’t sink in too much like some memory foam pillows I have experienced. I can’t fault the sales assistant, she was helpful. I like the pillow’s unique texture and wished I had taken more time choosing.

I'm not one to typically write reviews, but I just can't help but rave about this pillow I recently purchased. The material is breathable and smooth to the touch, making it a joy to wrap my head around. But it's what's inside that really sets this pillow apart. The pillow features a unique blend of memory foam and down alternative filling, which provides the perfect balance of support and comfort. The memory foam conforms to the shape of my head and neck, providing excellent support and pressure relief. Meanwhile, the down alternative filling adds a touch of loft and softness that's hard to resist. One of the things that really stands out about this pillow is its ability to adapt to my sleeping position. Whether I'm a side sleeper or back sleeper, the pillow adjusts to cradle my head and neck in just the right way, eliminating any pressure points or discomfort. But what really sets the DreamWeaver apart is its ability to regulate temperature. As someone who tends to sleep hot, I was worried about feeling too warm or sweaty during the night. But thanks to the breathable design and moisture-wicking fabric, I've found myself sleeping cooler and more comfortably than ever before. It's been a total game-changer for my sleep quality and overall comfort. If you're in the market for a new pillow, I highly recommend giving this one a try. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! Rating: 5/5 stars

I’ve been sleeping on this mattress for a few nights now and I’m pleased to say it’s making a positive difference. I was hoping for something supportive and comfortable, and this mattress delivers on both fronts. What I like The medium-firm feel hits a nice balance: not so hard that you feel like you’re lying on a plank, yet firm enough to feel properly supported. The product’s description calls it “medium-firm” and highlights the balance between support and plushness. The cooling feature is visible: the mattress uses INFUSE™ Black Diamond Graphite foam (which I must admit sounded fancy to me) to help with temperature regulation. According to the spec it “keeps you cool while cushioning your hips and back”. On warmer nights I’ve noticed I’m less restless. Excellent support for back and hips: I wake up without the usual niggles around the lower back and shoulders that I used to get with older mattresses. The “AlignSupport® coils” and plant-based ComfortCore layer appear to be doing their job. Good edge support: the mattress doesn’t feel as though you’ll roll off when you get close to the edge, and the usable surface feels generous. That’s helpful when two of us are sharing it. Quality and build: the cover feels robust, the stitching seems neat, and while I won’t pretend to have dismantled it, it gives a sense of quality rather than a bargain compromise. Where there’s room for improvement (or things to know) It’s a bit heavier/setup-intensive than my old one: rotating or manoeuvring it takes a bit of effort. If you prefer a super soft, sinking-in feel (the “body-hug” kind) this mattress might feel a little firm. Some reviews of the same family of mattresses note that side-sleepers (especially lightweight ones) might find medium-firm less contouring than they’d like. As with many new mattresses, there was a short adjustment period for my body clock and sleep-muscles to adapt. The first two nights felt slightly unfamiliar; by night three I was into it. Cooling is better than my previous mattress, but if you’re a very hot sleeper I wouldn’t say it’s magic. The spec claims better temperature control but some users of related models still noted some heat retention. Verdict In my view this is a strong pick if you want a mattress that blends support with comfort, especially if you’ve got a back that lets you know when the mattress is doing a poor job. For someone like me (part-time mystic, allotment keeper, old bones) it feels like a good investment in sleep rather than just a piece of furniture. I’d say I’m waking up more rested, and that alone makes the change worthwhile.

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 spend a lot of time in bed due to a chronic disability and my husband suffers from back and hip pain. I have previously bought Sealy mattresses so when we needed a new one we bought this Sealy mattress. Initially it may seem expensive but when you're in terrible pain 24/7 this is by far the most comfortable mattress out there. Before buying Sealy 20 plus years ago I felt as if my mattress was attacking me! What a blessed relief to find this one. My husband was rather shocked at the price but the next day the first thing he said was "wow, my pain has gone" when you consider how long you're in bed over a life time a good mattress is so important and the cost over the years pays for itself. I honestly can't recommend this highly enough. Always buying from Bensons has made the experience a pleasure from visiting the show room, laying on the mattresses (for hours!!) very knowledgable sales personnel, through to delivery and taking out old mattress away was excellent. Once you've "found the one" you'll not want to go anywhere else!! Do swivel your mattress regularly as it will increase its lifespan! It's easy to do! I use a good mattress protector first, then my electric blanket, then a second mattress protector followed by a fitted sheet etc. My last Sealy mattress lasted 12 years, baring in mind I'm in it 85% of the time. It should be changed sooner but the guys couldn't believe how great it still looked. My daughter, in her 30's also has a similar mattress and finds it helps her aches too. Always buying a suitable base to put your mattress on! I have a very soft brush that we use to gently brush the mattress to remove any dust etc. it also has plenty of hand grips to use when swivelling the mattress around so you're not always sleeping on same area and my husband does this every time the bedding is changed, you care for your mattress and it'll take care of you!!

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.
