Why our sleep experts loved it

The iGel™ Advance 3500i Plush top Mattress from Bensons for Beds has been designed with the needs of modern sleepers in mind. With it's temperature-regulating technology that allows you to keep cool when it's hot and keep warm when it's cold, it's the perfect sleep aid for those who suffer from aches and pains in their joints. It also provides excellent support, thanks to its dual layer pocket springs encased in foam for premium support. The 3500i dual layer pocket springs provide comfort and durability, whilst the innovative iGel™ Advance beaded gel provides pressure relief and helps relieve aches and pains.

So who will find this type of mattress suitable? Quite a lot of people frankly, in part thanks to that medium tension on offer through those great quality pocket springs. See, pocket springs are already the best (in my opinion) spring type you can get in a mattress. Combine that with the medium tension and you create widespread appeal as the product will likely suit most average weighted side sleepers, back sleepers and stomach sleepers. The result is a well-rounded product that does a big of everything really well. It's the same story with the graphene infused memory foam which keeps you up to 7 times cooler than traditional foam and in a generous helping too giving you all the benefits of memory foam but with non of the downsides. I really like gel foam options like the one on display here and it works really well.

What about who this product won't suit? From a comfort and support perspective that window is very narrow indeed, but what about from a cost perspective? That's where things get rocky for this product and indeed most of the iGel range. Truth be told this is a premium mattress at a premium price point and not for a penny less. The result is many people may want this mattress, I do too, but not many will be able to afford even with Bensons for Beds generous finance options allowing you to pay later.

The mattress is also made with a more environmentally sustainable formula than your average foam mattresses. It's easy to care for too, as it's non-turn product, meaning that you can rotate the mattress every now and then but you can be less stringent than is typical. 

Being both antibacterial and hypoallergenic, this is the mattress to have if you suffer from allergies. Same too for the environmentally conscious, featuring  second life textiles and 100% recycled PET.

Honestly, 3500 pocket springs, multiple firmness options and a unique iGel comfort layer is the complete package that you can get within a mattress, throw in a unheard of 10 year guarantee for free as standard and you won't need to look elsewhere for your next mattress because this is 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.
