What our reviewers found

Pros

  • Several owners say back, hip or joint pain eased after switching: "Firm but comfortable. Sleep has been good and any back pain has disappeared."
  • One owner found it "not too soft that I am sinking too much into it and not too firm either", and "Just right for sleeping on my back or side".
  • The price comes up regularly as a reason owners are pleased, in comments such as "Excellent price and comfort".
  • Comfort is what the reviews mention most, and some owners had it straight away: "Really comfortable mattress from the first nights sleep."
  • The store staff and delivery crews are thanked often, the delivery men described by one owner as "polite, cheerful and efficient".

Cons

  • A few owners found it firmer than they expected from a medium (guests in one spare room found it "a little harder" than they would like), while others found it on the soft side.
  • A handful of owners report a dip or sagging within weeks: "I am disappointed at how much of a dip there is in it after only a few weeks."
  • One owner found the tufted spots "a little on the hard side, but it's only noticeable if you press right on those spots".

Introduction to Exminster Ortho Comfort Mattress

Is it not true that we often yearn for a sleeping companion that understands and adjusts to our comfort needs throughout the night? For those nodding in agreement, presenting to you, the Exminster Ortho Comfort Mattress. With sublime features such as 1000 individual pocket springs and a damask cover, this mattress aims not only to usher you into the Land of Nod in utmost comfort, but also promises to keep your body supported while you're there. Manufactured by Bensons for Beds, this mattress merges luxury with utility in the right proportions. However, a mattress should be selected like one selects a new pair of shoes - ever so carefully! Shall we?

Design and Features

The Exminster Ortho Comfort Mattress, in all its grandeur, sports a classic yet practical design riddled with features that assure top quality in comfort and support. Amongst these, the 1000 individually responsive pocket springs stand out. Imagine hundreds of sturdy yet springy support systems, each independently adapting to your unique body movement. This dynamic attribute of the mattress provides premium responsive support and is particularly beneficial for those who, through no choice of their own, moonlight as nocturnal gymnasts.

Its hypoallergenic comfort layer, made from 70% recycled materials, presents a stable surface which is as fresh to sleep on as it is eco-friendly. The impressive damask cover promotes a soft, durable, and breathable sleeping surface, adding an extra layer of luxury. This double-sided mattress, hand-tufted for a supportive feel, retains its form and sturdiness even after years of usage, provided it is turned and rotated regularly as per the recommended care instructions. If that isn't enough, wait till you hear about the unique orthopaedic support and dynamic reinforced edge support. The former uses firmer fillings hand-tufted for extra levels of support, and the latter adds durability, reduces roll-off, and optimises your entire sleeping surface. Aren't we off to a promising start?

Mattress Comfort

Sleeping on the Exminster Ortho Comfort mattress is akin to experiencing a sweet symphony of comfort and support. It strikes a fine balance between soft and firm, conforming to your body while lending it the support it needs, making every night feel like a miniature spa retreat. This mattress ensures it retains its shape very well, bouncing back to its original form every morning ready to serve another night of restful sleep.

The recycled layer, while being a plus for the eco-conscious, resists body impressions, extending the mattress' longevity. Nonetheless, while it is undoubtedly an eco-friendly addition, claims of enhanced comfort from this layer seem more of a marketing buzzword than an actual benefit.

Suitability

This medium mattress splendidly caters to both back and side sleepers. It nestles side-sleepers in lavish comfort, taking into consideration the vulnerability of pressure points like hips and shoulders and providing adequate cushioning. While it's well-suited for most average-weight individuals, back sleepers might fare better with a slightly firmer option for enhanced support. Its double-sided design adds to its lifespan, offering you a flip option for prolonged mattress life, however, this also means it's heavier and a bit hard to flip. Nonetheless, its advantages largely outweigh this minor inconvenience.

What Customers Thought

It's always intriguing to know how a product fares in the actual world, as used by its customers. Most owners describe the Exminster Ortho Comfort as comfortable and supportive, and for some that was true from the first night: one wrote that it "didn't require any time to get used to it". Several say back or joint aches eased after the switch, with one "finally sleeping better with less joint aches in the morning". The price is a common reason for being pleased. So are the service in store and the delivery crews.

However, there have been murmurs of discontent as well. A few owners found it "firmer than expected for a medium mattress", as one put it, while others found it on the soft side. The more serious complaint is a dip or sagging within the first weeks, which a handful report: "it's sagging in the middle", one wrote, despite turning it every week. One owner also found the tufted spots hard when pressed, though not when lying on the mattress.

The Verdict

As an impartial contributor to the mattress reviewing community, my personal sentiment echoes some of the concerns of the customers. Despite the 'medium' rating, the mattress leans towards the firmer side which can be unsettling for some sleepers. The hand tufting, though providing brilliant structural stability, can induce an uneven feel to the surface. Yet, the Exminster Ortho Comfort Mattress remains largely an exquisite addition to your bedroom. With its generous serving of comfort and reliable support topped off with a commitment to environmentally friendly components, this mattress essentially represents the 'love at first sleep' experience (once you get past the firmness curve, of course!). Plus, the exceptional service from Bensons for Beds is icing on the cake. Above all else, remember, a good sleep is worth every penny!

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 4.5/5
  • 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 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 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 3.5/5
  • 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 4.5/5
  • 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 4.5/5
  • This is based on community driven customer reviews tied to product reviews and grouped together at a brand level to produce a score.

A Goldilocks mattress; Not too hard; not too soft, but just right. Although this is a new addition to our holiday property, and doesn't get regular daily use, it means a return to comfort each time we stay. It has confirmed our need for new mattresses at home! We would definitely consider the same mattress for our domestic beds. We thought we might have a period of getting used to the firmer feel of a new mattress after our 'overdue for replacement' ones at home, but the Exminster Ortho Comfort is a welcome addition, and is so instantly comfortable that it feels as though its been in our lives a lot longer than a couple of months or so. We chose Medium Firm, and it was the right choice for a relaxed feel with just the right amount of cushioning and support.

I love this bed and it looks a lot nicer out than it does in the picture. The fabric of the bed is lovely and is a nice grey colour. I upgraded the tv package and pleased with this. Appears to be a good TV so far. I ordered a separate mattress and the storage underneath the bed is very spacious. Only compliant like other people have mentioned is I wish you only had to press the button once on the control to make the TV go up and down rather than holding it. Hard work to assemble and took my partner 4 hours to put it all together but well worth it and would recommend.

Very disappointed in mattress as after only a few weeks they are dented in the middle and my husband has a problem when sitting on edge of bed before standing as it gives way and makes it problematic unless he sits more into the middle to stand up. If we had not purchased at your store in Edinburgh and had purchased online I believe I could have exchanged for a more suitable mattress for at least one of the beds but as we find it unsuitable for my husbands use perhaps you can do something about it I look forward to hearing from you.

Excellent product. I'm suffering with sciatica and I've not been sleeping well for the last 5 months maybe if I was lucky 2-3 hrs sleep per night . Since receiving my new Benson bed it took about a week to get used to it then I found it was helping my sciatica more comfortable and supported my back, after the initial 2-3 weeks I'm now 6-8 hrs sleep per night thanks to the comfort and support of my new bed. So with everything that has improved I've given 5 stars due to the sheer quality and comfort of the bed.

A perfect combination of firmness and softness, which is giving me the best nights sleep in years. I would definitely recommend this mattress. I was experiencing a lot of neck and lower back pain on a firm mattress and strangely enough the same on an over soft mattress. This mattress is the perfect balance and I'm now virtually pain-free. Like with everything, it takes a week or two for your body to become accustomed to a difference in firmness, but I wouldn't swap it now.

Being new parents can be stressful, especially at night, with little sleep. Our new mattress has been supportive, relaxing, comfortable and cosy. Even the more wakeful nights have been bareable as sleep comes easily as soon as feeding and changing are over. Best thing that we could have purchased; days after having a new baby. Really impressed with the delivery men too: polite, cheerful and efficient.

I really like this mattress. I wondered if it would be too firm,but being the medium version it is not. It is comfortable and supportive. I bought a very thin mattress topper incase l could feel the "buttons". Also a quilted mattress protector. The fitted sheets just about fit. I might have to get deeper sided ones but l will see how it goes. I don't like memory foam, so this is a good alternative.

Lovely comfortable mattress! Our old mattress was medium/firm but we were getting bad backs so thought it might be too harsh for us so thought we'd try this medium ortho mattress. At first it felt too soft and we didn't think we'd find it comfortable but we were very wrong. Our backs are much better with this mattress and both me and my husband find it comfortable to sleep on. Would recommend!

This is a very comfortable mattress at a great price point. The tufted spots are a little on the hard side, but it's only noticeable if you press right on those spots, you don't feel it at all when you're sitting or laying on the mattress. If I needed another mattress I would absolutely buy another one.

This mattress is very comfortable and gives the support I need, I like the fact that I can turn the mattress over. There is no signs of it creating a lump in the middle of us. As it is not as thick as our last one it is easier to lift.

I purchased a bed from Bensons for Beds, and within 10 days of light use, the bed frame cracked in multiple places while my son was simply lying on it. This is completely unacceptable for a brand-new product that should be fit for purpose. I immediately contacted Bensons for Beds to report the issue and request a replacement or refund, as the damage clearly indicated a manufacturing fault. However, their customer service refused to take responsibility, claiming there was a "hole" suggesting something pierced the bed - which is absolutely false. The damage consists of multiple cracks, not a single hole, and nothing was ever forced through it. The bed has only ever been used for sleeping, no rough use whatsoever. Not only was the product poorly made, but the company also failed to honour their obligations under consumer rights. Instead of offering a solution, they left us stuck with a faulty bed less than 2 weeks after purchase. Since then, I have had to escalate the matter through my bank to dispute the payment because Bensons refused to act. After reading other negative reviews online about the same product, it seems this is not an isolated issue. I strongly advise others to think twice before purchasing from Bensons for Beds. The quality of the product is terrible, and the after-sales support is non-existent.

I bought mattress delivery person removed package left on my bed and go. When I come after closer I noticed horrible stinky smell come from mattress. It was like mix some chemicals dust and poo in one. I put on some bed topper duvet opened windows moved air purifier and tried to sleep. Morning my all body and hair was civer in this smell. I remowe topper and everything was smelly. Now all my room is smelly and next day I can't use my room because this stinks overload all place. Customer service was not helpful as well. Man there suggested to wait and keep open window. He said if it's anti fire spray what is funny fir me because I bout few mattre like sses in my life and no one was stinking like that one. I sleep in my daughter's room and can't use my. My room is locked window full open and this smell still I can feel in corridor. How long I have to wait until I can use my room . It can be used some harmful chemicals a specially this smell make me feel vomit

I recently purchased the Sandown Ortho Comfort Mattress, and I have to say, it has completely transformed my sleep experience. As someone who suffers from occasional back pain, finding a mattress that offers the right balance of comfort and support has always been a challenge. But this mattress does exactly that! The orthopedic design of this mattress is fantastic. It provides the perfect level of firmness, ensuring my spine is properly aligned throughout the night. I wake up feeling rested and without the back discomfort I used to experience with my old mattress. Whether I'm sleeping on my back or side, I feel fully supported, which has improved my overall sleep quality. The mattress feels incredibly sturdy and well-built. You can tell that it's made with high-quality materials that are designed to last. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and it hasn't shown any signs of sagging or losing its firmness, which is reassuring.

The mattress I have is the small double not a super king, I must admit I was a bit skeptical when I first got into bed as it felt like the mattress would be too hard for my hips as I have arthritis in both hips,my lower back and right pelvis so over the years I have tried all sorts of mattresses and have had to put mattress toppers and quilts underneath me to be able to get to sleep, with this marcello ortho mattress I decided to try it with nothing underneath my sheet and it was the best night's sleep I've had since I can remember, I still can't quite believe that I don't need anything underneath my sheet and yet I can get to sleep no problem at all, maybe it's to do with the dips as the mattress isn't completely flat, I really wish I had decided to go to Benson for beds alot sooner, my daughter said to me if you're going to get yet another mattress go somewhere decent like Benson for beds, so glad I listened to her

Well I do have a problem with this mattress to be honest, the thing is, once I get in it, it dosent let me back out so every morning I need someone to forcefully drag me out. Every night it just sucks me in and there's no escape. It's pointless trying to bounce over to hubby's side as when I move or bounce on my side his side dosent even move! So I try to roll myself out and no! Unlike my other mattress I can't even roll out of bed and escape to the floor! So all I can say about this mattress is be warned, it swallows you up during the night yet for some fiendish reason we love to go through the same delight every night. It Must be down to the fact that this mattress is so damn comfortable I can actually sleep now

I thought this mattress would be similar to the lyndale ortho comfort mattress I bought 8 years ago in the sale for £399 witch was so comfortable and lasted me 8 years , but I don't think the quality is as good the demask cover is not the same quality and the marcello is firmer even though it's a medium it too cost me £399 in the sale ... the lyndale softened quickly and became very comfortable and the quality was better it was also vented along the sides unlike the marchello which has no vents which I found strange .. the marchello is comfortable but not as comfortable as I would like and I've had it 4 wks now my partner however likes it .. I'm hoping it's will soften in time

Great mattress and it came well packed and protected. My wife needed a new mattress to support her back and help her with second pregnancy. Good firmness but also comfortable too. Good quality mattress! We've had more nights of good sleep than we have ever before. Won't look back at all and well worth the expense. Even our baby likes it too whos found her way between us on the morning! The chaps who delivered the mattress provided some good advice on letting it breathe. Very well informed on delivery date and timings. Great service from the sales person too who went through all the options, very patient with us and showed us different options.

It is difficult to rate a mattress after only a few weeks, but here we go. This mattress on top of our Ottoman divan is like a Shackleton's high seat bed. (Sadly, it wasn't bought for us by our niece, but there you go.) It is certainly one thing worth testing when you look at these in the shop, and another advantage of going to a shop rather than buying online. So far, we have found it comfortable and have enjoyed some good nights' sleep on it. We also like its fully reversible nature (i.e. you can both flip and turn it) which, we hope, will mean that human-shaped dents are lessened over time. But, so far, so good

From the time we entered the store, to the completed delivery of our mattress the service we received was nothing short of superb.My wife and I share different views on how firm or how soft a mattress should be.I favour a soft mattress my wife favours a firm mattress.With this in mind our sales assistant let us lie on all the mattresses within our price range,and we managed to obtain one that suited us both.This mattress is just so comfortable and well made and an excellent price Would I recommend this product to anyone else absolutely!

Although it is a nice comfy bed I was disappointed that where I had lain showed as a dip always. I was expecting it to spring back. The dip was felt when re lying on it. I do have back problems which is the reason that I chose a medium supporting mattress, but surprised that on delivery was told only to turn it around every few weeks by turning it 180 degrees rather than completely over. Generally I am pleased with the look of the headboard, the base, the comfort factor.

Ordered a bed 18months ago. I ended cancelling the base due to all the messing about. The mattress was put in their warehouse where it got mysteiously damaged and was no good. They 'made me another one' after less than 6 weeks sleeping on it it was as flat as a pancake. But the one I ordered for my relative is totally differnt quality same mattress so they say..... but his looks like its just come out of showroom after 18 months of use...these people lie all the time

I am a "big chap" and normally prefer a firm mattress, my Wife is 'Lulu' sized and prefers soft. We tried and settled on this one in store. It has taken a couple of weeks for both of us to get used to it but we are so glad we picked this one(especially as it was about half price)....We are both sleeping really well on it. There is no more rolling into the middle of the bed or major disturbance for either of us if the other moves during the night. Very pleased with it.

Im highly delighted with the bed, it's very good quality, and extremely comfortable, with two large drawers for my bedclothes, it makes a lovely compact bed, I'm really pleased with it, also I would like to mention the two delivery men, they could not do enough for us, the delivery time they gave us was spot on, From start to finish, from ordering it to the delivery was first class, I would highly recommend Bensons beds of Kidderminster,

From the moment we entered the shop in Keighley we felt welcome. The lady who took us through the whole process was excellent . We are delighted with all the products we bought. Just one slight problem. We had bought some new pillows which we discovered wouldn't fit our pillow cases, so had to buy different ones which did fit. All in all though all the other items are excellent and our new mattress is very comfortable.

I was very disappointed with the service from the delivery men who I was told would take the plastic and cardboard packaging and at the time of the sale was also told that the bed would be assembled at no extra cost when I made enquiries at the branch the salesman told me he did not say this unfortunately for him I took a friend with me who verified that he did say it. Overhall I was very disappointed to say the least.

Really pleased with the new Highbury Ortho Comfort Mattress, which we replaced a far more expensive one for, due to the back pain it had caused. Since moving over to the new mattress, my back pain has reduced by about 80%, which is amazing. The previous mattress was far too hard, but changing to a medium firmness has been a life changer. Great night sleep, and no sore back in the morning!

It is well made and looks good but it is not right for me. I had been advised that the comfort mattress was the most suitable for me - a side sleeper and being under 9 stone, although I do suffer with back pain. ( I was thinking that the Ortho firm would be better) However I should have gone with my own instinct as this mattress is just too soft and lumpy, my back pain in worse.

What a difference this has made to my 91 year old Mum's sleep. We bought the 4 foot width for her and she loves it. More space than her previous single bed, easier for doing her exercises on in the morning. She is getting a better sleep every night. We did need to buy new sheets as both the width and depth is greater than previous one - small price to pay for great sleeps.

Initially comfortable but it's too firm for me; I alternate between side and back and with it being so firm I don't sink in so need one pillow when on my back and two when on my side. Also, I didn't realise how incredibly deep it is! My bed is now a foot taller and ridiculously high. I climb up into bed! Bought some extra deep fitted sheets and they're not deep enough :/

The support of a medium firm mattress and the softness of a comfort layer are well balanced. Handles allow for easy handling and turning. The extra height of the mattress supports greater ease in getting in and out of bed without having to pull yourself up from seated to standing. The enforced edge helps keep balance when seated at the edge of the bed. Overall very happy

My son loves his new mattress. He didn't realise how bad his old mattress was until he lay on this new one and he loved it straight away. It's just the right amount of firmness without it being too firm and it's perfect whatever part of the mattress he sleeps on. Also, the service I received from first going into Bensons until delivery was excellent. Thank you.
