Tests & Verdict

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and 12+ years of industry insight.

The iGel range works particularly well at keeping you at the right temperature while you sleep, not too hot, nor too cold thanks to the premium gel foam. 

Pocket springs in the base layer work especially well at giving fuller body contouring and beats off open coil and reflex foam layers.

Reasonable price point given the advancements in gel technology and high quality manufacturer.

Impressive 10 year guarantee and good reviews.

No complaints at all around this product from many happy customers, a testament to the products ability to meet expectations even at the moderate price point.

More on that price and it may be that some peoples budgets will not stretch to it, unfortunately this is already one of the more "budget" gel mattresses in the lineup leaving you having to look elsewhere.

Why our sleep experts loved it

becky says

With iGel temperature regulating technology, this mattress delivers comfort with support. It's filled with 1600 pocket springs encased in foam, giving you a premium feel and support. Plus, the 3cm layer of premium iGel Beads gel works to relieve pressure and provide heat transfer for a cooler night's sleep. This mattress is completely fresh, made with FreshNow™ technology, which wicks away moisture to keep you dry and comfortable all night long.

This new generation of temperature-regulating gel has been engineered to provide 7 times better heat transfer and works as a fantastic comfort layer within the iGel Advance 1600 Mattress.

Onto the all important support layer, and this mattress really begins to stand out. The 1600 pocket springs are rated as some of the best in the industry, far outperforming open coil traditional mattresses and offering better body contouring than reflex foam. With pocket springs, it really is a case of the more the better and 1600 is pretty far up there, making it a fantastic choice for full body support.

Featuring an impressive 10 year guarantee, that's 3 years longer than the average lifespan of a mattress and 9 years longer than the average guarantee. This effectively gives you "lifetime" guarantee with the product allowing you to enjoy every night to it's fullest without any financial worry relating to it.

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.

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.

Absolutely brilliant mattress - super comfy, plenty of support, not overly firm. Warm too (and I've been told cool in the summer). It is supposed to last 10 years - it works out about 30p per night. I think that's good value.
