What our reviewers found

Pros

  • The 206cm extra-long length suits taller sleepers, with no feet hanging off.
  • A heat-reactive memory foam layer cradles your curves for closer contouring.
  • Individually sleeved pocket springs isolate load, quieter than interconnected coils.
  • Hand tufting helps keep the fillings anchored between regular rotations.

Cons

  • Memory foam retains warmth, so it can feel less cooling than hybrid models.
  • The extra-long 206cm size may be awkward to manoeuvre in smaller rooms.
  • Being one-sided, you cannot flip it, only rotate when lifting.

This is a mattress with a very clear purpose, and I actually like that about it.

Design and features

The headline feature is the extra long length at 206cm, which is a proper win if you are tall and fed up with your feet hovering or pushing into the end of the bed. In this size category you are often limited, and frankly that makes this mattress more valuable than the spring count suggests. It uses 1000 pocket springs with a memory foam layer above, wrapped in a soft stretch knit cover and finished with traditional hand tufting. I’m a fan of tufting on paper because it tends to stop the comfort layers from migrating and it usually keeps the surface feeling more consistent over time. But I’m also a bit sceptical of phrases like high tech memory foam when we aren’t told the foam density or thickness. Those details matter, and when they are missing it usually means the brand is leaning on marketing rather than measurable specs.

Mattress comfort

This should feel like a classic UK hybrid, a gently cushioned top from the memory foam, then a more responsive undercurrent from the pocket springs. Memory foam will soften with warmth, so most people will get that initial hug, especially around shoulders and hips. But with only 1000 springs in a single, you should not expect a truly premium, finely graduated contour like you’d get from higher counts or zoned systems. Still, it is absolutely a step up from open coil, which can feel bouncy in the wrong way and tends to transfer more movement. On a pocket 1000, you usually get calmer sleep and better point support, and I’d expect this one to deliver that as long as the foam layer is not overly thick and heat retaining. If you run warm, this is where I would be cautious, memory foam plus a stretch knit cover can trap heat if the build is not breathable.

Suitability

I’m going to be blunt. The medium tension is the right call for most people, and it is especially kind to side sleepers who need pressure relief at the shoulder. Average weight sleepers should find it comfortable in most positions, and the pocket springs should do a decent job of keeping the spine aligned without that stiff, board like feel. But if you are a dedicated back sleeper who likes a firmer, flatter posture, you may wish it had a touch more pushback. And if you are heavier, you might find the memory foam compresses a bit too readily over time, which can lead to that dipped feeling. It is one sided, so you cannot flip it to reset wear. Rotation helps, but it is not the same. If you need extra long, though, you are not shopping in a world of endless options, and that context really matters.

The verdict

This isn’t a true luxury mattress, despite the word Deluxe. A pocket 1000 build is solid, not spectacular. But it is better than open coil, and the extra long size makes it genuinely useful rather than just another hybrid. If you are tall and want a sensible, medium feel mattress with pocket springs and a memory foam comfort layer, I think it is a sensible buy at the right price. I would not pay a premium purely for branding, and I would prefer clearer foam specifications for confidence. Even so, as a practical solution in a niche size, it looks like it will look after you.

Suitability

  • Back Sleepers 4/5
  • 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 5/5
  • 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 4/5
  • 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 3.5/5
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress 3.5/5
  • 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 4/5
  • 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.

Odour

  • Initial Odour 4/5
  • 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 5/5
  • 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 5/5
  • This is based on community driven customer reviews tied to product reviews and grouped together at a brand level to produce a score.

Looked good until I released the drawers from their stapled position where I discovered 2 drawers with problems. One had broken at the join at the front of the drawer and another had dropped below the rail on one side. I'm not happy with the 60 I spent on a reinforced base either, it doesn't feel too reinforced when I sit down and hear a big old noise coming from the base. Does make me wonder what stardard bases are like.. Not too keen on the mattress either but that would just be my personal comfort level. Other than that I can sleep on it, always a plus...

Customer service was excellent with quick contact and queries answered. The delivery was on time and hassle free. I have slept on the mattress now for 5 nights and so far so good. I generally suffer with a bad back and my previous mattress (medium/firm) was causing restless nights and pain in the morning. I have noticed that this much softer mattress almost hugs me and allows me to sleep comfortably on my side with very little pain in the mornings. It's softer than I expected but no complaints.

The bed has Met my expectations in every way. I have an extremely comfortable mattress and the matching headboard looks very smart. indeed. There has been an installation issue related to the casters, which archers sleep centre has dealt with very promptly and without any fuss or bother. I was very pleased with their rapid response to my concerns. The issue is being dealt with I thank the Internet team very much for their assistance

After months of scrolling online at reviews and trying out overpriced mattresses in stores, I came across this gem! It's the perfect mix of spring support and memory foam to enable my bad back and hips are supported and comfortable all night... no more waking up in pain! After a minor delivery issue first time around, I must also add that customer service was superb as were the delivery guys! Highly recommend!

Great mattress, perfect size for an ikea bed, comfortable and with right level of support. Good communication. When mattress was delivered, the bag was torn on one side and mattress was slightly boiled but Archers offered us back some money because of this. Overall, good service and high quality products

I bought two of these mattresses. Very comfortable and equally as good as our previous very expensive superking mattress. I was rather sceptical about two singles together but in fact we are not aware of any division once they are on the bed and I no longer wake my Wife up getting in and out of bed.

Comfy enough, although in some ways it surprises me, given that modest amount of foam on top - but a good night's sleep cannot be argued with so I'm pleased with this - but I should have paid more attention to the depth of the mattress, as coupled with a tall divan it's now a very high bed!

The product seems to be good quality. The delivery was problematic. The men were in a rush and knocked into my hanging hall lamp, but did not tell me. I had to pay to get an electrician in to fix it.They were in a real rush, but luckily did not break anything else.
