Why our sleep experts loved it
The sleep you get at night plays a critical role in your ability to function the next day. If you don’t get enough quality sleep, you’ll feel sluggish and perform poorly at work or school. The same goes for an uncomfortable mattress that makes you toss and turn all night long. A mattress that doesn’t provide enough support will cause you to wake up with sore muscles and stiffness. This is why buying a mattress isn’t something that should be taken lightly. With so many different brands and models out there, it can be difficult to find one that is both affordable and meets your specific needs. When shopping for the Hyder Pocket Platinum 1800 Memory Mattress, there are several essential factors you need to take into consideration before making a final decision.
Who is the mattress for?
The first thing you should consider when shopping for a new mattress is its firmness. A mattress that is too soft will not provide you with the support you need to keep your spine straight. A mattress that is too firm will cause you to experience discomfort and even back pain. Ideally, you want to find a mattress that is suitable for yourself and your own unique needs. When it comes to the Spring King Pocket Memory Ortho 1500 Mattress you get a firmer feel through the good quality pocket springs that will prove to be ideal for those who need additional support through an orthopaedic feel.
Onto the comfort layer and you have a thick layer of memory foam for a more cushioned feel that gives you a good degree of sinkage into the mattress and helps ensure you have great protection between your body and the firmer springs underneath. The foam doesn’t act as a detriment to the firm pocket springs, rather it helps compliment a firmer feel with a soft and reactive top.
More about who this mattress is suitable for and you are getting considerable value. This means that those on a budget will find a great quality pocket spring mattress at a reasonable price which is something you don’t normally find in this area of the market. Traditionally, this sort of budget would get a traditional spring or reflex foam unit, where the pocket spring tension is typically found in mid-high end products.
Who is the mattress not for?
When you lie down on a mattress, the average person is typically looking to feel a bit of give and sink into it, however that is less of an assurance when it comes to firmer tension mattresses like this one. This means that the Spring King Pocket Memory Ortho 1500 Mattress might not be suitable for the average person who is not looking for specific back and neck support and as a result is considered a more tailored and specialist product.
The result of the above is that side sleepers and those not specifically looking for orthopaedic support would perhaps be best considering a different product to this one.
What is the level of firmness experienced as a scale of 1 to 10?
We gauge firmness on a sliding scale of 1 through 10 with 1 being the softest tension and 10 being the firmest. The firm wound spring support in the Spring King Pocket Memory Ortho 1500 Mattress comes in at an 7.5-8 in that scale. The memory foam does soften the feel of the springs underneath but the result is only minor, meaning you do still feel the reactive body contouring offered by that firm tension.
What do other customers say?
Reviews for the Spring King Pocket Memory Ortho 1500 Mattress are still coming in but we are graced with a number of long term reviews that can be pointed to as a means of gauging consumer confidence. Customers are particularly happy with the firm tension pairing with the cosy comfort layer which have given 40+ reviewers a great experience. Other customers enjoyed the high quality and were surprised by the low cost for the product. At time of review there aren’t any negative reviews with the only negative officially recorded looking to be a mistake and this customer also found the mattress to be great. The result is a near perfect score for a specialist mattress that will work well for its specific purpose of aiding orthopaedic neck and back relief.
