Why our sleep experts loved it

The iGel™ Advance 2050i Mattress features a premium, high-tech material at it's core: Graphene. When you sleep, the body releases lactic acid and carbon dioxide. This is the process that builds up muscle fatigue and creates wrinkles - which is why you want to have a mattress that can regulate temperature. The Graphene in iGel™ technology acts like a heat sink, absorbing the body's heat and transferring it to the surrounding air.

As a result, your skin will feel cooler and more comfortable all night long. The technology also works in reverse: when you sleep on an iGel™-enabled mattress, the mattress cools down, absorbing your body's heat and circulating it through the mattress with every movement. As a result, your body will stay cool and fresh throughout the night. As well as regulating temperature, iGel™ technology helps provide pressure relief against aches and pains so you can get to sleep faster.

This technology is unique to the iGel range and isn't available elsewhere. Further to the impressive iGel on offer, you also get an impressive 2050 pocket springs that are better than traditional open coil springs found in lesser quality mattresses. With pocket springs, the more the better with 1000 being typical for most mattresses. More springs does not equate to a firmer mattress, rather, just better body contouring and support.

In this instance, the iGel Advance 2050i Mattress is a medium tension mattress, making it ideal for those looking for something that is soft (thanks to the iGel) yet firmer (thank to the pocket springs specified tension). Best suited to those looking for an all rounder that will satisfy both side sleepers and back sleepers alike.

TL;DR - amazing selection for testing at Northwich, 1st class staff and service, and the delivery team and experience was incredible. Amazing bed testing experience - my partner and I, with a 3yro and a 5yro spent at least 3 hours in the store testing everything and homing in on the mattress for us. The staff greeted us and asked what we were looking to do, and were totally fine with me asking for no help unless we found something (my previous experience at other companies meant I was not hopeful.). They understood, and this was the first place where they just said "Well, you can't test a bed without a pillow!" and gave us a Tempura pillow each for the afternoon! My approach to testing was risky - find a firmness we both liked to start with, and then test everything in that category and don't look at the price! Well, doing that kept me at the iGel 2050i, I nearly fell asleep in the store! This tech and construction was clearly for us the most comfortable in the store. The 3yro and 5yro thoroughly tested the bunk beds, and ran around everywhere, the store staff understood we needed to test and didn't mind the chaos the little ones were causing. Amazing experience at the Northwich store. The sales staff then appeared and checked in when it was clear we'd just stopped really testing and actually encouraged us to test exactly as we sleep, which was really nice to have that encouragement to be at ease lying down with your loved one in a shop! So I disappointed the staff and said I'd think about it. Honestly the mattress was nearly double what I'd put in mind, but the comfort was amazing in the shop. We got home and lay on the old mattress. It was a disappointment. I went back the following day before an offer ended and made the purchase, with delivery about 6 days later. Come the day before a delivery day, a text with a 2 hour time slot,. The day of the delivery, Ben in the van called and said they were 30mins away, which they were. You could also track their location online. Van arrived, the guys jumped out, I asked if they wanted any help, which they didn't and then they got the mattress through an impossibly small staircase within 15mins. I actually thought before delivery it wouldn't go and I'd have to take the handrail off, but there was no stopping the team - looked at the route, and just did it. Ben said when we got back down I'm actually proud of that one!". It was a tight fit, but the team didn't even think of not trying, just incredible. So here we are now, a few weeks after delivery, and I can honestly say the 2050i is an incredible mattress, the comfort and sleep we are getting now is seriously unimaginably better than before. Any regrets? That I didn't spend more time on the 3000i... by the time I got to that, I'd looked at the price of the 2050i and I think I'd probably tapped out on price. Next time...

We decided to wait a short while before leaving a review so we can comment on both the service and the product, so we will start with the product. Pre sales: We walked into the branch in Congleton and Martin was the salesman who we met. Very professional, listened to us and made recommendations based on what answers we gave him. (always a great start) Once we were confident on our selection, we got a quote. Again we went through all the options, once we added on what we wanted, Martin went through some offers on the extras which were good value based on what we were buying anyway. (such as protectors) Once everything was priced and finalised, we got a formal quote and gave it an hour to 'wait'. Went back, paid and felt happy with the purchase based on the product we tested and the sales approach. From firmness rating to technical specification of the materials, it helped us make an informed decision based on no. of springs, gel layers etc. and focus on what was more of a priority for us. We met Darrell later once we paid and couldn't rate this store any better. It's clear both individuals have a very natirual and consultative selling style, selling based on matching a product to people. Should the product live up to its claims, we will be OK! Delivery: Received multiple emails and texts with our delivery date, reminders and time updates. It arrived in time. Our delivery team was Mark and Linv. These guys were amazing. Took the mattress where we wanted it with no problem, both courteous and respectful to our property, best heavy goods courriers we have had. Product: We purchase the igel 2050i and will address initially it was very firm, more than what we expected, but to be expected with a new unit. After a couple of weeks of use and turning the mattress as per the care guidelines, it loosened off a bit and is now more like what we tested in store. There was a smell to the mattress initially, but it dissipated after about 2-3 days. 4 weeks later and the mattress is excellent. Can offer nothing but thanks to the Congleton branch and the delivery team. It honestly was great to see a full complement of people having pride in their jobs. We walked into this store with the money ready to buy what we wanted, but was fully expecting to be let down... But we're glad to be proved wrong! Pre-sales - 10/10 Sales support - 10/10 Delivery - 10/10 Product - 10/10 Not sure if it's too early to comment on the mattress, but so far it's settled as expected and seems like excellent quality. From a after sales perspective, we feel confident if there is an issue, that the team will support us.

Happy with my purchase but quite expensive even on a discount deal. I am a very warm person even in winter. Needed a new mattress anyway and wanted one that would keep me cool. Have slept much better on this one than my old (also expensive) one. But consistently good sleep is worth the money. I have noticed the cooling effect, especially in the recent heatwave. I've slept without any duvet and been the perfect temperature. If it does warm up a little under my body, I simply move .... even if I move my arm to a new part, it's noticeably cooler. The only problem now is that none of my mattress protectors or fitted sheets will stay on at each corner because the mattress is much deeper than my previous one so I'll have to invest in deeper ones. Also have to say I was very happy with Benson's service from start to finish. From the salesguy and other staff in store (Bournemouth, Mallard Road) to the delivery guys ... all really couteous, helpful and cheerful. Able to answer all my questions and give advice. For this reason I've always bought my beds and mattresses from Bensons. Trustworthy and reliable. Credit where it's due so well done guys.

Very disappointed in the sales talk used to make us purchase the mattress protector. This is sold to apparently cover us for accidents.? The lady who sold us the mattress which was 1400 looked uncomfortable talking us through the mattress cover.. I kept asking questions. If the mattress needs a protector for insurance it should be complimentary. This product makes the mattress hot and sweaty as it is made of cheap plastic. It's not fit for purpose in my opinion. After four nights with it on we finally worked out we were so hot because the plastic used was similar to hospital beds and we were practically cooking. Clearly all mattresses are personal different for the individual. So some our breathable hot or cooling etc. what's the point of making us purchase a cover plastic cheap though 34.99 is very expensive. This totally defeats the object of a breathable cooling mattress. Personally feel like we have been conned. If we had not worked out the cover was the problem, we would have demanded a refund for the mattress. So not the experience we were hoping for. The lady who served us was very helpful until the sales push!!!

From the moment we entered the Scunthorpe store we felt welcomed and knew we were in safe hands. Lloyd and David were so helpful and professional., but also very lovely too. They are both a credit to the company. Good customer service is such a rarity these days. The delivery process was seamless too. We were kept informed throughout, right up to the moment it was delivered. The delivery guys, Dan and Wojciech, were very organised, considerate and friendly. The mattress itself is so comfortable, you don't realise how bad your old one is until you get a new one! It's quite firm, but in a supportive way. I slept right through and definitely felt better in the morning. I have two slipped discs in my lower back and this mattress feels as if it's helping me by keeping my posture correct. I'm very happy and can't recommend Bensons enough.

I wish I could speak highly of a mattress in rhis range, as they are so very expensive, and I only bought one through the cost of livong payments I had last yearw as well as having had my old mattress for nearly 10 years, I was keen to find a similar though pocket one, as mine had been discontinued. I had at first bought a very higher up temp controlled bed from another range, but changed it due to the complexity of the micracoil system making the bed feel too extra rirm, and it was a pillow top so i exchanged it for this one, and am finding it has sunk slightly despite it being a firm, and i am using a mattress topper for it at the moment, because of surgery I had done last month. I had paid less than this price but feel its worth even less, more like 500. The mattress for me is the wrong one, and i wake up hot usually.

We took delivery of two iGel Advance 2050i Mattresses from Bensons in Kidderminster. From the start of the journey to the end everyone involved has been fabulous. The salesman Melvin was great and knew the product range inside out, and gave us plenty of time and help to find the mattresses we wanted. The finance process was really easy and the delivery and recycling service was just what we needed. On the day of shipping our delivery team, Nick and Lewis, were excellent. We didn't have to do a thing, they bagged up our old mattresses and installed our new ones ready for a good nights sleep. A few days later and we are sleeping like logs.The IGel adapts to your body contour and ensures a cool and restful sleep. Highly recommend Bensons for service and quality. Thank you to all concerned !!

I bought the iGel Advance 2050i Mattress a few weeks ago but the one I chose was too firm for my arthritic joints. I swapped it for a softer one within the 6 week trial period and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was made for me to do this. The replacement arrived just over a week ago and I find it so much better. I did buy a mattress topper which has added more height to the mattress; so much so, I have had to invest in a step stool to enable me to get in and out of bed safely! I find the replacement mattress better for my joints and actually feel like I've had a sleep when I do wake up. I have occasional nights where I find myself tossing and turning but I put that down to the arthritis and not the mattress. I would definitely recommend the iGel Advance 2050i Mattress.

Great mattress, lower than the others and very cool. Tried one first with a topper and it was awful, hot and sagged either side. So we tried this one and its a double firm, very supportive and great for sitting on the edge in the mornings. Bensons customer help wasn't very good and it took along time emails back and fourth to get to the point we got to buying this one from another make which wasnt very good. But the Derby store were really helpful, Decland the manager and Amen the assistant manageress were great and really smoothed things out. To be honest if it wasn't for them just getting it sorted I'd not recommend Bensons, my advice would be any issues get it fixed in store as these returned my faith in Bensons and we have what we want and a great nights sleep now.

This mattress helped my lower back pains that I've had for months to ease off. Deffo worth the 1200 or so that we paid (king size). The wife loves it too. The day I went early into work the week after it arrived, she never awoke from her slumber. As for quality, it's too early to say whether it'll still be providing the same level of comfort in 5/7/9 years, and value for money, well again that will be based on how long it lasts. Hence only 3 stars for both. Regardless, overall very pleased with the purchase due to no longer feeling debilitated when I get up every morning (the previous mattress was 8 yrs old memory foam, and I can only conclude that was the main factor in my most recent back troubles).

I had to leave a review here. After years of lower back pain (to the point of having an MRI), I purchased the firm mattress.and it has almost eradicated my issues!! I cannot tell you the difference it has made to me! I want to add that at first I thought it was too hard (and had just returned a mattress from a different company that was like sleeping on a brick). But each day the iGel got softer. It's so supportive when back and side sleeping now that I can sleep all night without the tossing and turning. Recommending to all my pals with back issues now :) Thanks for restoring my faith in a good mattress at a good price!!

After having Tempur mattresses for 20 years we worried that this one would not be as comfortable. It is firmer in comparison but it is as comfortable. Its main bonus is the firm sides so getting in and out of bed is far easier. Changing the sheets has been challenging, mainly because we have a sleigh bed and the mattress fits very snugly to the wood. It is also very heavy. I would recommend a divan base for this mattress. The gel top stops overheating and when one of us gets out of bed in the night, there is barely any disturbance for the other.

I have a better nights sleep since getting this mattress - 5 star. However we had this mattress a short while and its beginning to sag. There is a clear defining line between my hubby and me.I am overweight so that could be the reason- but I don't want it to become like our old mattress so saggy on my side that I had problems getting out of bed because my body hurt so much. hence 3 stars for quality and value for money However -don't be put off. This is a very comfortable mattress and I have slept better since getting it.

The lady that helped me choose my mattress was fantastic and very helpful, she gave me some great advice to get me what I needed and was very friendly and likeable. The delivery men were very informative about my mattress and very polite, civil and respectful. I am sleeping much better on my new mattress now, the only thing I would say is, it feels a little firmer than it did in the shop, but I guess that will change over time. Overall, dealing with Bensons for Beds has been a pleasurable experience.

This mattress is simply incredible. Best one I've ever slept on, even when visiting hotels etc. You really do get what you pay for, the igel feature really keeps you cool all night long and so much more comfortable than your standard mattresses or even memory foam. I find memory foam get too hot and can sink' throughout the night, but the igel keeps you body from head to toe at an even level, and both me and my boyfriend have said it makes you feel weightless like you're sleeping on a cloud.

Excellent mattress if a bit pricey. I took some time to review because I wanted to make sure this mattress works for me. I had a rotator cuff injury which was probably not helped by my very cheap, old IKEA mattress. After trying out multiple spring and foam mattresses we decided on this iGel mattress which is supportive enough without springs digging into your back. After a couple of weeks, I'm happy to report my shoulder feels much better and my overall sleep quality has greatly improved.

I would recommend this mattress. It's taken only a week to adjust to sleeping on a sprung mattress as we've had a memory foam ones for the past 16 years. I'm noticing a huge difference to my Lower back pain and it's almost gone. Very comfortable and has a luxurious feel due to the igel top and soft cover. I'm finding the igel is keeping me cooler also thought my husband says he feels slightly warmer. So as the advertising says, not too hot and not too cold but just right.

I would recommend the iGel 2050i mattress. We opted for the medium firmness as there didn't seem to be much difference between the firm and the medium. I'm very glad we did because it is very firm. The thing we like best is that you hardly feel any movement from the other side of the bed. The topper seems to hug your contours without feeling like you are sinking in. The mattress has a dense feel rather than a squidgy feel. We have a good night's sleep on it.

Had this Mattress for about 3 weeks now and must say it is very comfortable, i purchased this bed for the igel to help regulate the temperature as i am a hot sleeper and i am very happy with it and would recommend for any one else who has the same problems as me. As for the service i was kept up to date from ordering to the delivery date the two guys who delivered the bed where very helpful and polite taking the bed up to the bedroom thank you

the mattress when it eventually came was just as good as i had anticipated. however I was must dissatisfied with the customer service. my mattress was due to be delivered mid Nov on the anticipated delivery date which was due between 7am and 6pm I recieved a phone call at 9.15 on the day to say my mattress would not be delivered that day and the date was now 18th December which was 4 months after my order was placed!!!!

I was a little skeptical that an iGel mattress was the way to go but I'm convinced! I've always like firm mattresses but found as I've got older they weren't too kind to my joints. The iGel is the perfect middle ground! It's firm as in I don't sink into it but it's so gentle at the same time. Also the added bonus is not getting to hot in bed, keeps the temperature just right. Can't recommend enough, worth its price tag!

Says everything that this is our 2nd SuperKing iGel mattress. 4 yrs ago we bought the previous 2050 model for our new loft conversion. Becos it's so humid In the summer, we move back into our other main bedroom, hence mattress no 2. We wouldn't buy anything else now. Our 'mediums' are firm without being too firm. I'm in my 60's, so I've had a few mattresses over the years. Nothing comes close! Not cheap but worth it!

The Mattress is a bit taller than expected, and this was a bit uncomfortable. On the other hand, I had the impression that now in winter the mattress would help to keep the bed warm and in summer it would help to keep the bed cold. However, I have been a bit cold even with our winter cover and sheet. That been said, the mattress is really comfortable after the first 4 days and the reason why I still give it 4 stars.

Mr Bartlett

via Bensons For Beds

The mattress is very comfy and I have enjoyed my nights sleep so far. I did purchase the more expensive mattress with the iGel as it is meant to help keep your body temperature regulated and cool when it's warm and I haven't noticed it yet to be honest but still very happy with my product. The only downside is that the specific mattress protector for the bed is quite noisy when your laying on it and moving around.

I really loved this matteress in the shop but unfortunately it does not feel the same at home and felt much much firmer, although getting used to it and it has helped my joints and pain, the one in the shop was a dream I'm still hoping this one will soften like that. It arrived with an awful smell for a few weeks but this has eased. Hoping it will be the perfect matteress soon! The delivery team were brilliant!

I love this mattress, for me it's the perfect balance between comfort and not overheating. First week i was boiling and confused (as I've had this matress before) totally forgot i had bought the iGel mattress protector.

Absolutely love this mattress, extremely comfortable and will last me many years. The last one lasted 9 years but thats because I needed a bigger bed. (2 singles together to make a superking) only upsetting fact was seeing the price dramatically drop right after a purchased 2 of them. So that was really painful to see. Came with free pillows, nice to sit up with but awful for my neck to sleep on.

I'm happy enough with gel mattress but my only concern is that because it is so deep I've a bother getting in and out of bed due to this. Ive had to buy a stool to enable me to get in and out of bed. You dont realise this when your trying out it in the shop. As I say the mattress comfortable enough but this is putting me off. Sorry Benson's perhaps this should be pointed out to elderly shoppers.

I can't recommend this mattress enough. I have been a light sleeper for years suffering from menopausal overheating and waking early. Also disturbed by my husband's snoring!

And it's as if my husband has stopped snoring. Incredible!

Since my first night's sleep on my new mattress I have found it extremely comfortable, soft but very supportive and it moulded to my body.

This is the best and most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on. It's firm but not too firm, it moulds perfectly to my shape, keeps me cool when I'm warm and warms me up when I'm cool.

Shopping for a mattress came down to two. I could not tell the difference in comfort between the igel and a more stanard mattress. I picked the igel because of its cooling properties. I should not have bothered. It made no difference. Don't believe the sales pitch. Now I have to worry about how long this gel will last before it starts getting uncomfortable.

This bed has the right support for my spine and it's very comfortable. I look forward to getting into it every night. I can't feel my partner turn over in the night which stops me getting irritated.

The igel bed is absolutely fantastic & we either we visited Bensons much sooner. Our old bed was expensive so we wanted to try and make it work. Thankfully we decided to go to Bensons, try out various beds with great advice from the staff and we settled with the igel. 10/10 and if we get another bed in 8 to 10 years, it will likely be a similar model.

Very comfortable mattress. Felt rather high at first, having been used to a well slept on mattress but soon got used to it. I bought the firm mattress and every night I have had great sleep, which I haven't had for a while. The mattress may seem expensive to some but you get what you pay for and this really is a mattress to beat. It's my best buy.

It's ok. However my wife thinks it's very cold to lie on and it's difficult to get warmed up. It's very deep so not ideal for elderly people as we feel we have to climb up to get in. So overall we think it's rather disappointing although once we've mountaineered into it it is comfortable enough (though much firmer than we felt it was in the shop).

The mattress is great. I got medium form but will buy form next time and I can put the least favourite of the two in my spare bedroom.

Bought when on special offer so an excellent buy. As with any new mattress it felt different on the first night but made us realise that our old mattress needed to go. Excellent sleep, feeling refreshed on waking. We chose the firm mattress but don't be put off by the word firm. I would call it supportive. Had for 3 weeks now with no negatives.

The mattress is very comfortable and we are very pleased with it. The only problem has been the smell - the worst of the off-gassing smell went after a couple of days, but it is now two weeks since it arrived and despite opening all the windows in the bedroom each day, there is still some lingering smell, especially first thing in the morning.

Three weeks in and we are still getting used to the new mattress. One thing we know for sure is that it is very heavy when we have to turn it and change or straighten the bottom sheet or mattress cover. It would have been useful if we had been warned. I now understand why Nigel & John had to take a run at the stairs when they delivered it.

We didn't realise how bad our old mattress was until we bought this amazing gel one! No rolling into each other every time one of us moves, no more back ache in the morning and as a woman over a certain age how it regulates the temperature is just great! we would absolutely recommend it and have already done so with our friends and family!

I bought the iGel Advance 2050i over a week ago it has a odour was told in the show room it will only last a day or 2 ,a week later it still smells ,phoned customer service was told they are going to send a Technician out next week ,which makes me think there must be a problem with other mattresses. Let you know the outcome Shirley.

This is a great mattress. Very comfortable and hasn't been too warm even with the extremely warm weather. One word of warning is when you take it out the packaging it smells strongly of chemicals so if you have time and space I would advise airing the mattress for a week uncovered away from your bedroom as the smell is quite strong.

Wow what a difference my new mattress has made. No aching back in the morning, a full nights sleep and the comfort is exceptional. The gel pillow has made a huge difference also relieving the stiffness experienced previously. The value of a good nights sleep cannot be measured in 's. This mattress is in the Rolls Royce bracket.

Beautiful mattress! Went for the firm option as our old firm mattress from a well know Swedish shop was awful. It is pricey but worth it for the amount of time you spend asleep. If you want a firm mattress that still feels luxurious this is great. I haven't been waking up with lower back pain and not waking up as frequently.

This is a very good mattress. So comfortable and the quality is great (will see how it performs over time) The mattress is excellent if you sleep with someone else who moves alot. The mattress does not move and disturb the other person which is great. The top layer of the mattress is really supportive in any sleep position

Had a very good experience in the shop at Yeovil. Tracy was knowledgeable and very helpful. We chose a king size bed, mattress. It's very comfortable and supportive after a recent back operation. The drivers delivered, took the old bed away and put the bed together for us. Very good experience would highly recommend

Bought the firm mattress which is firm but still has the softness of the foam to sink into slightly. Haven't really noticed the cooling feel of the gel foam upper as I've definitely felt warmer most nights compared to my old mattress. Overall, it is a good mattress but wouldn't say amazing, hence the 4 star review.

Currently we have had the mattress 2 weeks approximately and so far been very good comfortable and very good for back support. I have had the best sleep after a long time due to the good quality product. I really hope this will stay like this for many years as we have been told it should last for at least 8 years.

I bought this type of mattress when they first came out for my own bed and would not recommend any other. I bought this for my sons bed after having a memory foam one that only lasted a few months which came with his old bed and when I bought a new bed definately had to have a i gel as I know that this will last.

I didn't realise what a good night's sleep meant until I got my new mattress. It has been a godsend. I feel refreshed after a good nights sleep and look forward to going to bed every night. My back has never felt better, my mind is clear in the morning from interrupted sleep. I wish I had bought it years ago!!

Our mattress is a zip and link and unfortunately this just does not work which is hugely disappointing. You spend the whole night either feeling you're tipping into a ballet or else lying in the dip between the two mattresses. It's really uncomfortable. I imagine as one mattress it would be really comfortable.

This mattress is the best mattress I've ever had- firm but with a lovely soft top layer . I sleep so well on it! It's expensive but to my mind worth every penny. When my daughter visited, she slept on it and couldn't get over how good it was compared to her old mattress. She's now saving up to buy one too!

This bed is how dreams are made!!! So comfy whatever the weather it be cold or hot. We bought one of these mattresses 3 years ago & when my daughters bed needed replacing the first thing we did was call Bensons to see if they still had our 3 year old mattress in stock. Please don't ever stop making these!!!

Love the gel mattress Help to stop me overheating during the night would recommend this product to all ladies of a certain age who suffer from night sweats due to the menopause keeps me cool all night The mattress is so nice and firm my other half has not complained of a sore back sine we got our new bed

Verified Reviewer

It was very expensive. It is comfortable if you lay central, you roll off the edge if you get too close and I so far haven't felt the benefit of the cooling gel,( that could just be me). It is more comfortable than my old mattress, but not my old mattress when it was new. The space in the drawers are good.

I have a chronic pain condition and switching to this mattress so far has proven amazing, I'm able to sleep in positions I haven't been able to for years (ex stomach sleeper) and not be in complete agony. Gel technology helps with temperature regulation on a night, my partner feels less hot in the night.

Great mattress for us. Comfy, firm but not too firm. Nice deep mattress. Having better night sleep now. As we are both plagued by painful hips & lower back. Chris in our local store was helpful. The delivery guy's Nick & Emilian where great too. No problem taking old mattress out installing new one in.

Our ijel mattress is really supportive. We do find it quite warm, so maybe the jelly isn't as effective as we hoped. It's taken quite a while to get rid of the chemical smell, we had to air it every day for a couple of weeks.. it is really stable, individuals are not disturbed by the others movemrnt .

We chose the firm iGel mattress and are very satisfied with the comfort, the support and the temperature regulation. We are getting much better quality sleep than we did with our old one. Loving it It does have a slight chemical smell which we don't find an issue and I'm sure this will fade in time.

Verified Reviewer

Found this mattress very comfortable but have had a big issue of a smell! We have had to strip the bed every morning leaving the mattress to air and then had to spray the sheet an hour before we go to bed to mask the smell. It does seem to be getting better so fingers crossed it will eventually go.

Elaine

via Bensons For Beds

We've had this mattress just over 2 weeks. For first week or so, I woke up with back ache but I think it was just an adjustment period and am now sleeping well and finding it very supportive and comfortable. I can't say that I've noticed the gel making me cool but the mattress is very comfortable.

This is my second matteress from Bensons with the I-gel, my previous mattress I had for over 8 years and was due a change....Initially found it a tad too Firm, but was made aware that this would be the case, four weeks in, and it is moulding itself well and is much more comfortable. I love it.

Verified Reviewer

via Bensons For Beds

Nice comfortable mattress. As mentioned in other reviews a strange smell, which does seem to be improving. Only negative is the weight, turning it as per instructions is a full work out as is changing the bottom sheet! Also a warning-fitted sheets do not fit due to the depth of the mattress.

Delivery

via Bensons For Beds

It's too early to give a five star review about this mattress. My partner is more comfortable on it than I am. I find it a bit 'squidgy', so I've put a woollen topper on it to make it a tad firmer. Perhaps I'll take that off one day and get used to the mattress. Otherwise, really well made.

Mrs Mccluskey

Am still taking advantage of the 40 day comfortable sleep guarantee , but I can honestly say it's a very comfortable mattress , I have Reumatiod Arthritis & it seems to be helping me so far by taking pressure off my joints which is a must for me so am a very happy person for now thanks

Only had this mattress for a couple of weeks and it feels great at the moment, I'm getting a much better nights sleep. As far as how it will feel in 12 months time or over the next few years, only time will tell. Hopefully it will not sag, go springy or break down like some matresses do.

Ray

We had one of these for over a year so we bought a second one for another room. A good mattress for not transferring movement when one of you gets up and comes back again in the night. (FYI, This mattress is quite stiff and does not bend much for manouvering around doorways and halls.)

Loved it from the first time we tried it. Very supportive without losing comfort. The right height for us The most comfortable mattress we have ever slept on. It seems to cushion your body gently giving you a good nights sleep.. Absolutely fantastic, would definitely recommend.

Kevin Burke

Since delivery I have had some of the best night's sleep I have had in years on this mattress. Also to add the 'not too hot and not too cold' feature of the iGel mattress certainly is amazing. Mattresses and shoes. If your not in one, your in the other..... make a good purchase.

Why we didn't buy one earlier after the endless bad nights I always say you get what you pay for I want to keep going to bed early it's just so comfortable we had firm and it definitely is no more rolling in the middle and it's keeps you just right not too hot or cold just right

Incredibly comfy mattress. Despite it being big it moves around really easily when I need to rotate which is great given I'm on my own. The only niggle is that I don't really notice the coolness of the mattress which is a shame, but I would definitely still give it 5 stars.

Cannot praise this mattress enough. Having previously had a standard sprung mattress this is an incredible improvement. The initial feel is quite hard but as you relax into it the support and comfort is fantastic. Like sleeping in a hotel every night. Highly recommended.

What Makes The iGel Advance 2050i Mattress Great?

We've expanded on the specifications of the product to better help you understand it's benefits.

Soothing and supportive pressure relief - iGel™ Advance can help reduce aches and pains, with pressure relieving Gel crystals for targeted support where your body needs it most

Another on the benefits of the iGel Advance range. The combination of high quality pocket springs paired with high quality gel foam gives zonal support that targets each area of your body wit individual contouring and adjustment. The result is that no part of your body that is making contact with the mattress is going to be without contrasting pressure and support.

AdvantEdge™ superior edge support – premium support along the edge of the mattress, for added durability and to increase the mattress sleeping area

Unique to iGel mattresses, the AdvantEdge™ platform is available in part thanks to the premium pocket spring system housed within. With additional edge support, you get a firmer edge regardless of tension meaning you are able to spread yourself over each and every inch of the mattress allowing you to utilise more of the product and spread out while you sleep.

iGel™ Advance intelligent temperature regulation - proven to absorb, store and release heat to help you remain at the ideal sleep temperature – within the 35° to 37° Celsius comfort zone

iGel isn't just about being 7 times better for heat regulation over memory foam, it's also about the intelligent temperature regulation beyond that. See, being too cold can be just as disruptive as being too hot. Fortunately, the iGel formula keeps you at a temperature that promotes deep sleep consistantly.

iPure™ - our cleanest formula foams and fibres, with more recycled PET polyester fibre content (80%), and fewer synthetic additives

Specific to the iGel range, the mattress is CertiPur™ accredited thanks to the iPure™ mattress construction which features significant polyester fibre content that is cleaner than competing products, made up of loss synthetic additives that make for one of the cleanest formula foams and fibres available.

Powered by a deep 5cm of iGel™ Advance Graphene Technology – intelligent temperature regulation helps you sleep not too hot, not too cold, just right

50mm of gel foam is considerably higher than the amount of foam provided in poorer quality imitations and means you get a huge degree of softness in the comfort layer that protects you from the firmer springs underneath. The result is that you sink deeper and feel more cocooned while you sleep.

Mattress depth – 31cm

Good quality mattresses are often deeper as they require more space for deep fillings and good quality support layers. While the correlation is not a one to one relationship, it certainly helps. 31cm of depth is on the limit where you may require deep fitted sheets as part of your new bedding.

Easy care – no turn mattress?

No turn mattresses are basically single sided mattresses where the comfort layer is only on one side. No turn mattresses have their benefits, namely in reduced maintenance since flipping is not required. It is however still recommended to rotate your mattress regardless of easy care or not.

FreshNow™ advanced moisture wicking - helps to prevent waking caused by humidity, for an all-night fresher feel

New to the range but growing in popularity comes the new FreshNow™ material utilised in many of the more premium mattresses from this retailer. The FreshNow™ remains soft and luxurious to the touch but features additional moisture wicking features that will keep you cool while you sleep.

Free 10 year guarantee – for total peace of mind?

A 10 year guarantee shows just how much faith a manufacturer and retailer have in their product. The industry is still plagued by far too many 1-year guarantees and this one helps highlight a change toward better standards and consumer confidence.

In partnership with the BCA (British Chiropractic Association) - the largest and longest established association for chiropractors in the United Kingdom

A BCA partnership helps to highlight the quality of the support layer on offer in this mattress. A BCA partnership helps highlight that the mattress has been designed and tested to chiropractor standards resulting in better back and neck support.

2 comfort choices – Mediumor Firm

Medium tension mattresses would suit back and side sleepers most typically while firmer tension mattresses offer better back and neck support. For the average weighted person, medium is a safe bet unless you enjoy the feeling of extra support.

Opulent super loft and super soft stretch-knit cover - luxuriously soft and breathable, with eye-catching centre panel design

Soft and stretch knit covers are standard for many of the mattresses you see today. The benefit being that the breathable design ensures you remain cool while you sleep which means less sweat followed by a more hygienic nights sleep.

Nothing feels quite this good - with iGel™ Advance patented know-how, exclusively at Bensons for Beds, we’ve perfected a feel that’s like nothing else

iGel Advance is the name for the new range of iGel mattresses, all of which feature graphene gel foam materials that perform similar to memory foam but without many of the downsides around heat retention and heat build up.

2050 premium pocketed springs - for individual comfort and support, with reduced partner disturbance

2050 pocket springs is a healthy amount that will give sufficient body contouring regardless of how you sleep. The more springs generally the better with 1000 being the standard often seen in min range mattresses.

iGel™ Advance Graphene - 7 times faster heat transfer than standard foam, Graphene is cleaner than synthetic additives

The biggest downside to traditional memory foam is around heat retention. The iGel graphene is a unique design that sees better performance and enhanced cooling via the heat transfer over standard foam.
