Why our sleep experts loved it

Great value is the name of the game for the Coolflex range and here is another product in the lineup that aims to benefit people in their pockets as well as their backs by getting a good combination of materials in the base and comfort layers at a very competitive price point. The Coolflex Essentials™ Pocket Memory Mattress is a medium tension mattress that has a few other benefits we are excited to showcase.

Being a medium tension support we recon this mattress will perform well for those that sleep on their back or side and are of an average weight. The great benefit for medium tensions is that they are known as the "goldilocks window" and will suit most people. Furthermore, you get hypoallergenic properties as standard with this product, proving ideal for allergy sufferers who are looking for a healthier nights sleep.

We would advise against this type of mattress for those that get too hot at night as the memory foam layer, while fairly minimal, will restrict breathability slightly. This may be offset slightly by the breathable pocket springs underneath, but there are safer options available for those that do get too warm.

The Coolflex Essentials™ Pocket Memory Mattress punches above it's weight, being priced very much in the basic tier while featuring quality components typically found in the mid-range. This is quite rare as most mattresses are generally boxed into one category, however, Coolflex have been able to draw additional value for the consumer with the Essentials range.

Firmness comes in at around a 6 and being a medium this product should give decent body contouring without too much firmness. This means that when you sleep on your side, you should find your hip and shoulder have adequate sinkage to be comfortable and not distort your spine while you sleep.

Customers feedback has been good, with a huge amount of long term reviews. The result is one of the bestselling mattresses from within the Mattress Next Day inventory, and it performs exceptionally well. Customers enjoyed the "best sleep they have had" and that the product is the "perfect budget mattress". It's easy to agree too, with pocket springs and memory foam you get two of the best layers utilised in mattresses in the modern day that have consistently performed well over the years.

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

  • Breathability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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.
  • Stability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Depending on the type of support layer in place can have an impact on stability, edge to edge support and roll together prevention. Pocket springs of a firmer tension will have better stability than open coil soft tension, for example.

Ease of Use

  • Turning handles
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses typically need to be rotated frequently and having turning handles can be massively beneficial, particularly in larger sizes which can become fairly heavy.

Odour

  • Initial Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Materials in mattresses, particularly memory foam and rolled bed-in-a-box mattresses can have an initial odour, this is typically short term and reduces considerably within 24 hours.
  • Long Standing Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials inside different mattresses can produce a small odour. Typically this is short term rather than long standing but there are minor exceptions.

Brand Rating

  • Overall Brand Rating
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • This is based on community driven customer reviews tied to product reviews and grouped together at a brand level to produce a score.

This is a really comfortable, good quality mattress. When it arrived (in an amazingly small box), the mattress was well wrapped up in plastic and there was a little tool to slice the plastic open without slicing the mattress, plus instructions for the mattress. It was simple and straightforward and the mattress was ready to sleep on in just an hour or so. There was no obvious chemical smell, just a slight whiff if I put my nose right on it as soon as it came out of the wrapping. I haven't been bothered by any smell when sleeping on it. I bought it as an urgent need because the old one was giving me back pain. After two nights on this mattress, the pain was gone and i've had a couple of weeks of very comfortable nights with much better sleep so far. The only thing i'm not so pleased with is the edges squish down when you sit on them. I guess they have to in order to fit inside the small box but I prefer the edge of a mattress to keep its shape when I sit on it. It's not a major problem as I sleep alone but if I shared it and had to sleep near the edge, i'd feel as if I was going to roll out of bed. I'd want a king size if I was to share it. I will also get a mattress topper just to increase the comfort factor even more (and to fulfil the conditions of the guarantee). Overall, I am very happy with this mattress, it's great to feel comfortable and well supported. With the discount, it's amazing quality for the price. So glad I bought it; my back thanks me every morning.

Easy to manoeuvre on delivery being vacuum packed and boxed. Ordered two mattresses for children moving from cot beds to single beds. Had them out of the packaging for about 6/7 hours before first use which seemed ample. Both kids slept well and said they were comfortable to sleep on. We lay on them after unpacking and they were very comfortable and stable. They feel like they offer the support from the traditional pocket sprung aspect but have the extra comfort with the thin memory foam top without being too thick to get that sinking feeling when youre on thicker foam. Based on experience so far would definitely recommend them for the price. We were hesitant as wanted good mattresses for our children so were originally thinking of going for one of the more major brands. So glad we didnt though, we went based on the amount of such good reviews and these have offered such good value

I bought 2 of these for a 16 year old and a 19 year old and they love them, I normally only buy silent night but the reviews were great so I risked it. I thought there cheap enough to try, well the risk paid off. You won't find better for that price range. Infact you can probably spend double on a silent night and it will still be inferior. I've just ordered a third for my 5 year old his mattress doesn't really need changing but for that price I thought i'd upgrade the little one as well. I hope that sleepsoul keep doing a great job and making top quality affordable mattresses because they're great and i'll be picking a king size up for the wife and myself when ours needs replacing.

I did quite a bit of shopping around for a mattress and settled on this is the right balance between cost and (hopefully) quality for me. And im really happy so far. Its super comfortable, with enough firmness to feel supported. A huge improvement on my previous lumpy, spring mattress and has already helped me sleep better. Im really happy with the quality for what I paid, and a ten year warranty shows the confidence the manufacturers have in their product. It arrived in a long, narrow box that was easy to move around before unpacking, and the process of getting it onto the bed was quick and straightforward.

I haven't given this 5 stars as the mattress is in my guest room so I haven't tried it out. I have a 2000 in my own room which is super confirtable and has a thick memory foam topper. The 800 has a much thinner top but it feels firm. It was easy to unpack and place on the bed and took it's shape quickly. I'm really happy with my purchase!

Great mattress! just make sure you allow enough room when you open! this mattress. Comes in a vacuum pack (as thin as a biscuit)! the moment you open the pack and allow air in, boom!! the mattress expands to the size it should be! I almost took my my mum out as she was stood close to the wall when we started to open it!

Cooler than our previous similar mattress. Think that's because the memory foam part is thinner but still gives the same comfort. Very comfortable medium-firm mattress on our sprung bed. We have another sleepsoul in our daughter /spare room and that is equally as good if not a bit better! def buy this brand again.

The first person to use the new mattress was a musician who has been touring the uk and therefore having to sleep in a different bed every couple of nights. Last night he was glad to get to bed, and he slept for over twelve hours - "the best sleep i've had in weeks" he said, and he really meant it. Enough said!

Amazing how it comes in a box then opens out the way it does. Mattress seems really good and excellent quality, daughter finds it firm but I think that is mostly due to her old one being so worn.Fits great in the cabin bed - sits nice and high so she doesn't bang her legs.Highly recommend.

Ordered this for my daughters new bed frame, wasn't very expensive, read all the reviews most of which were very good & the product proved to be as described. It came sensibly packaged, was easy to unwrap, was a good price, has a 10 year guarantee & is extremely comfortable. A great buy!
