Testing Team Takeaways

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

Strolling through the showroom, the Bodyshape Memory Foam Sofa Bed Mattress immediately climbed onto my radar. Reverberating a striking balance of firmness and flexibility, this mattress provided satisfactory support for my varying sleep positions as a combination sleeper. Slumbering on this mattress felt quite pleasureful, albeit the cover's unremovable nature made me question its longevity for an average-weight sleeper like me. Also, the inclusion of memory and support foam filling indeed upped the comfort, yet also caused a slight heat build-up which didn't exactly align with my cool-sleep preferences.

Why our sleep experts loved it

Introduction

The conversation about finding a good night's rest often revolves around standard beds, but how about the sofa bed users out there? Whether it's a daily use or a convenient piece for your guests, having a good mattress on the sofa bed can significantly enhance the comfort experience. Today, I take a look at the Bodyshape Memory Foam Sofa Bed Mattress - designed to provide "sumptuous comfort, body-hugging support and pressure relief". As someone who admittedly isn't the biggest fan of sofa beds, this product intrigued me.

Design and Features

The Bodyshape Memory Foam Sofa Bed Mattress features a combination of memory and support foam filling, promising natural hypoallergenic properties for those in search of a cleaner and healthier night's sleep. The product incorporates a base layer of reflex foam which is designed to provide adaptive support - personalized to your unique body shape.

The mattress arrives covered in a soft, knitted polyester fabric promised to be kinder to your skin. One detail that caught my attention during my in-store testing was the fact that this cover is not removable for washing – a small red-flag given it’s positioned as a hypoallergenic product. My gut tells me it might not stand the test of time.

Available in two different sizes, the mattress can complement either a 2-seater or 3-seater sofa bed. The product is also rolled up for delivery convenience, which ticks another box in its favour.

How We Tested

Bear in mind that the testing, while informative and exhaustive, was carried out in-store and did not include the luxury of an at-home trial. We inspected the mattress, felt it, laid on it, and even squished it to get a feel for the quality and comfort level.

Mattress Comfort

The Bodyshape Memory Foam Sofa Bed Mattress claims to provide a "sumptuous comfort", and it did quite well to hold up against that assertion. The memory foam works as expected, forming around the body contours and promptly returning to its original shape when no longer under pressure.

However, myself (not the biggest fan of sofa beds, admittedly) and many reviewers highlighted slight thinness of the mattress which might be a turn-off for those who prefer a more cushioned feel. With only 8cm in depth, a bumpy sofa bed frame could diminish the positive aspects of this mattress.

Suitability

With a medium firmness, the Bodyshape mattress can serve a range of sleepers. I suggest it would perform best with side sleepers who, because of the pressure points involving shoulders and hips, need something that contours to their body well. Back sleepers may wish to opt for something slightly firmer for better alignment.

What Customers Thought

The customer reviews reflected a generally positive consensus about the Bodyshape Memory Foam Sofa Bed Mattress. Several reviews noted that the mattress significantly improved their sleeping experience compared to older, thin mattress models and deemed it a good quality upgrade. Interestingly, multiple users have noted that the mattress, despite its thinness, has managed to transform their sofa bed experiences.

However, not all comments were glowing, with some highlighting issues such as chemical smell that needed airing before use and a couple of others wished for a slightly thicker mattress. These concerns, while not game-changers in my opinion, do add a splash of realism to the seemingly stellar reputation of the mattress.

The Verdict

Despite my personal scepticism regarding sofa beds, the Bodyshape Memory Foam Sofa Bed Mattress makes a compelling case for itself. It's comfortable, relatively affordable, and caters to a broad range of sleepers. However, its slight thinness, non-removable cover and aforementioned chemical smell, do mar its overall appeal.

Ultimately, my feelings align with several customers who felt that the Bodyshape Memory Foam Sofa Bed Mattress could have been a little thicker. In the battle of comfort versus convenience, while it hits some right notes, I believe there is room for improvement. So, if you're in the market for a sofa bed mattress, this one might be worth considering, but bear in mind it may not be the perfect fit for everyone.

Suitability

*Assuming average weight, suitability will vary dependant on body type, use the quiz above for a more tailored guide.
  • Back Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • The amount of support offered from a mattress will vary depending on the firmness of the tension and the type of support layer used. Based on a person of average build.
  • Side Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • If you sleep on your side you typically need a supportive tension that is not too firm, nor too soft. This is because your hips and shoulders need adequate sinkage.
  • Stomach Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Stomach sleepers need a reasonable amount of tension in the base support layer to adequately offer body contouring and help prevent aches and pains. Results will vary based on your build.

Performance

    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress

  • Certain materials like memory foam can make it difficult to move about on the mattress while you toss and turn. Same too for pillow tops which can create a cloud like sensation which can make manoeuvrability challenging.

While the memory foam provided a delightful level of comfort and support, the initial chemical scent was slightly off-putting but subsided after a few days. Overall, the mattress is an excellent replacement for any old sofa bed mattress.

Questions and Answers About The Bodyshape Memory Foam Sofa Bed Mattress

Prospective customers had the following questions about the product

Nicbarb
Is the thickness of the mattress adequate enough to provide comfort and support?

Answer: Although the mattress depth is stated as 8cm, which may not seem very thick, it is specifically designed to offer an optimum combination of comfort and support that a lot of the previous buyers have touted as being advantageous. However, as with all mattresses, comfort is very subjective and depends on individual preference. There have been a few suggestions in the reviews that it could do with being slightly thicker, but overwhelmingly, customers seem to be delighted with their purchase. - Kind regards, Rebecca

How suitable is this mattress for side sleepers?

Answer: The blend of memory foam and reflex foam in this sofa bed mattress offers a supportive and comfortable solution particularly suited to side sleepers. The unique shape offered by the medium firmness of the mattress allows it to mould to your body, providing an excellent level of contouring and pressure relief. However, it's always a good idea to bear in mind personal preferences in levels of firmness when choosing a mattress.

Would it be suitable for regular use, or is it just meant for occasional guests?

Answer: The mattress is designed with a medium firmness, offering a blend of comfort and support that can certainly accommodate regular use. Its dimensions make it perfectly suitable for a 2-seater or 3-seater sofa bed. However, bear in mind, everyone's comfort preferences and sleeping habits differ which may affect the product's suitability for everyday use.

Does the mattress arrive rolled up? Is it easy to set up?

Answer: Yes, the mattress arrives rolled up for easy delivery and convenience. Once you've unwrapped it, you'll need to allow it time to expand. It's recommended to unroll your mattress within three months of it being delivered to ensure it unrolls smoothly and those chemical smells often associated with new products, dissipate.

How does this mattress fare regarding hypoallergenic properties?

Answer: The mattress is naturally hypoallergenic, providing a cleaner and healthier sleep environment. It may be an attractive feature for individuals who deal with allergies or sensitivity to certain materials.
