Insomnia have a common enemy, that is the Bodyshape Boost 1000 Pocket Mattress. A luxurious blend of tradition and modern engineering, it carries the promise of sound sleep and rejuvenating rest. But does it live up to the expectations?
Design and Features
Made right here in the UK, this mattress spells quality at a favourable price. At its core are 1000 sturdy pocket springs in individual fabric pockets, intelligently designed to move independently for personalised care. The addition of air vents across its construct ensures a cool night's sleep by regulating temperature and reducing moisture build-up. The plush polyester fibres layer is like being cradled in cloud-like comfort, the gentle softness enveloping your unique shape for a restful sleep.
This mattress hits the sweet spot with a balanced medium comfort rating, catering to both the supporters of the soft and firm camps. With reinforced borders and comforting cushioning, there is a clear attention to minute details. A notable caveat is the double-sided design requiring flipping and rotation. While this might seem a hassle, it ensures the mattress stays fresh and extends its lifespan.
Mattress Comfort
The Bodyshape Boost 1000 Pocket Mattress provides a perfect balance of comfort suitable for both back and side sleepers. It delivers ample support without being too firm. Its medium tension aptly suits average-weight sleepers, delivering the cosiness of softness and the firmness of support. This does not mean it fails to deliver to those slight deviations, the mattress adapts to the body contours which are of particular importance for side sleepers. Back sleepers might prefer to opt for something a bit firmer for better contouring and support, however.
The top indulgent layer of plush polyester fibres provides a comforting embrace, alleviating pressure and promoting an invigorating sleep. Owners don't all agree on how that feels in practice. One describes a "generally good and comfy bed and mattress", while another bought it to replace an older mattress and wrote "it is harder than that was". The harder report fits the build, to my mind: fibre quilted into the cover is a thinner cushion over 1000 pocket springs than a foam top would be. One could argue that it's the optimal blend of firmness and softness, a balance that is often elusive In mattresses.
Suitability
Achieving the perfect balance between firmness and softness, the Bodyshape Boost Pocket Mattress offers excellent back and hip support. With 1000 springs each moving on its own, I'd expect your weight to be spread instead of loading the hips, and the sideways and back-sleepers will benefit from enhanced spine alignment. Its air vents help regulate body temperature and keep overheating at bay, making it an ideal choice for those who tend to get uncomfortably warm at night. It comes equipped with a five-year guarantee, a sign of the manufacturer's confidence in its durability.
What Customers Thought
Most owners are happy with the Bodyshape Boost 1000 Pocket Mattress, and comfort and price are what they talk about. One called it a "very comfortable matttess and great value for money" and another wrote "An excellent all rounder for all sleepers no complaints." A few also mention good service when buying. The unhappy owners are specific about why. One who expected a medium wrote "Have no illusions this is a hard mattress" and said a thick topper didn't fix it. Another found that by the second night "it still had the impression of my body from the first night". A third wrote "I like it the wife does not, the depth too high". The listing gives the depth as 25cm.
The Verdict
Despite the inconvenience of regular rotating and flipping, the Bodyshape Boost 1000 Pocket Mattress triumphs where it matters. Promising restful nights and painless mornings, it holds its own amidst the slew of competitors. The pocket springs work wonders in reducing the chances of aches, and the plush polyester fibres layer provides unrivalled comfort. While this mattress might not seem an extraordinary choice, for its price and advantages, it indeed delivers decent results.
It's fair to say based on the customer reviews, that most owners are happy with it, though not all. It's a simple, honest offering that doesn't boast to revolutionise your sleep but promises to make it sound and comfortable, which is the bottom line.
