Testing team takeaways

To test the Arezzo Memory Support Mattress we have people from our testing team take a closer look at the mattress and form their own opinions. Below is their observations.

On the showroom model, the Arezzo won me over for about a minute: the memory foam top gave my shoulder a bit of easy sink when I rolled onto my side. As an average-weight combi sleeper, though, I felt the open coil unit take over quickly, and on my back it didn’t give my hips and lower back the clean, settled support I’d want every night. The price and five-year guarantee are fair, but the mattress felt thin and basic, with the comfort layer doing too much of the work over a fairly crude spring system. I’d keep it to a spare room for lighter side sleepers, not as a main bed for couples, back-pain sufferers, or anyone who needs dependable support.

What our reviewers found

The Arezzo Memory Support Mattress looked like a budget mattress trying to win me over with surface comfort. It managed that for the first minute. After that, the open coil support became the main story, and not in a good way. I have a low opinion of open coil mattresses for daily adult sleep, and the in-store sample did nothing to shift it.

The price is reasonable, so I can see why it gets attention. That still leaves the awkward bit: I would not buy it as a main mattress. At this level, I would put the money towards a basic Silentnight pocket sprung model in a sale, because the support system is where budget mattresses usually fail first.

Build and showroom feel

This is not a very deep mattress, at least by showroom feel and appearance. The profile looked modest on the bed base, and when I pressed into the surface there was not much sense of layered cushioning before the spring unit made itself known. Thin-feeling mattresses can still work in guest rooms. They have to be very well judged. This one felt basic.

The 5 year guarantee is the one specification that made me pause. For a mattress in this price band, that is a decent reassurance on paper. Guarantees cover faults, though; they do not turn an open coil unit into a supportive one. The showroom model felt tidy enough in its finishing, with no obvious rough seams on the one I handled, yet the construction never gave me that settled, planted feel I look for.

Open coil springs move as a connected unit, so pressure is spread in a broad, blunt way. Pocket springs respond separately. Reflex foam can at least feel consistent across the surface. The Arezzo sits behind both for me. Firm words, yes. This is the part of a mattress that matters most after the first week.

Comfort when lying down

The memory foam top is comfortable. Lying on my side, I got some sinkage at the shoulder, enough to take the sharpness out of the initial contact. For side sleepers who like a softer surface, that first impression will probably feel pleasant in store.

Then the support layer starts to show its limits. On my back, I did not get the controlled, even hold I expect from a mattress meant for regular use. It felt flatter through the middle than I would want, with the foam doing the polite work on top while the springs underneath stayed fairly crude. That is the danger here: the comfort layer sells the mattress, the spring system has to live with you.

I could not test heat build-up overnight in a showroom, and memory foam can feel quite different after several hours under a duvet. I also could not judge how quickly the top layer will soften with months of use. Those are not minor unknowns on this design, because the surface foam is carrying much of the comfort.

Who it suits

Lighter side sleepers may get on with it for occasional use. A spare room, a stopgap mattress, a low-use setup for short stays. That is the lane where the Arezzo makes the most sense to me.

Heavier adults, back-pain sufferers and couples should be careful. Partner movement is another concern with open coil systems, and the showroom setting is a poor place to judge a full night of rolling and turning. The mattress did not give me enough confidence at the hip and lower back to suggest it for anyone needing firmer, cleaner support.

  • Best case: occasional use where price matters most.
  • Weakest case: nightly adult sleep where support is the priority.

Decision after testing

The Arezzo Memory Support Mattress has a comfortable memory foam surface and a sensible ticket price. I still would not recommend it. My issue is not the feel of the top layer; it is the open coil base underneath it. I would only consider this for a spare room, and even then I would check the sale price of a pocket sprung alternative before paying.

I'm finding the Ashford Memory Support Mattress extremely comfortable. I'd researched a lot of other brands on different company websites and read the reviews before purchasing and so glad I chose this one. Like a couple of other reviewers, I also manage pain, though specifically in my neck and upper spine. It is neither too soft or too firm, just right for me. Benson's had done me proud with a previous mattress and I'm so glad I put my trust in them again as I haven't been disappointed. A Huge Thanks Bensons!

Was not comfortable for me on its own. But I bought two toppers. One sheep's wool style and one memory foam an am now comfortable and warm. Would recommend for a younger person and for someone in their 80s if they were able to use a topper with it.

It's nice but could be better. It's a bit too firm for my liking and not as soft offering enough support.

It's okay. I prefer something with a bit more bounce. When you sit down on it you hear a thud.

Bensons did warn that it might take a while to get used to a new mattress but this has been comfortable from day one. It is of medium firmness so does give support but with a softer topping. Before the new mattress I sometimes woke up with sore hips but not with the new one. (For reference I sleep on my side and weigh about 70kg.)
