What our reviewers found

Pros

  • Wool in the comfort layers sleeps cooler than synthetic fibre.
  • Two layers of pocket springs and no open coil.
  • Foam free from top to bottom.
  • A medium feel that suits most children.

Cons

  • Very few owner reviews so far.
  • Bamboo is mostly a fabric story.
  • Not for a child who reacts to wool.
  • Won't sit under the guard-rail line on most top bunks.

The Jay-Be Dual Support Natural e-Pocket Mattress is for the child who wakes up hot, and for them it's the Dual Support model I'd buy: the same two layers of pocket springs as its siblings, with wool and bamboo in the comfort layers. Skip it for a top bunk, where a 20cm mattress is often too deep for the guard rail. The owner reviews are thin so far, so the build is most of the evidence.

Wool and bamboo over two layers of pocket springs

A deep e-Pocket spring core does the support, with micro e-Pocket springs on top, then fibre comfort layers with wool and bamboo, a soft knitted cover and a 3D spacer border. It's foam free and 20cm deep, with a Medium rating, and Jay-Be makes it in the UK for Bensons.

Wool is the part I'd pay for. It breathes, it handles moisture well and it sleeps cooler than synthetic fibre, which helps if your child wakes up hot. Bamboo in a mattress usually means a viscose fibre made from bamboo, and I'd treat it as a soft fabric rather than a reason to buy. The listing also calls the range eco-friendly, and I'd want to see a named certificate before giving that word any weight.

Too few owners to judge, so borrow the siblings' warning

One owner calls it fine and nothing special, suited to children and lighter adults. Another says their son loves it. With that little to go on, the length complaints on the other Dual Support models are the ones to act on: measure yours when it arrives.

Wool, a top bunk and a cool sleeper are the reasons to pass

Avoid it for your top bunk, where the mattress must sit below the maximum depth marked on the bed. Avoid it if your child, or anyone else who'll sleep on it, reacts to wool. And if your child sleeps cool and you're choosing on price, the plain Dual Support e-Pocket has the same springs. If I were buying in this range for a warm sleeper, though, this is the one I'd take home.

What to buy instead

For a bunk, the 14cm Graffiti Art e-Pocket is built to fit Bensons' bunk beds. For a child who sleeps cool, the plain Dual Support e-Pocket gives you these springs without the wool. Check both the same way on the day they arrive: lay the tape measure along the frame.

Suitability

  • 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.

Questions and answers about the Jay-Be Dual Support Natural E-Pocket Mattress

Common questions answered by our team first, then questions shoppers asked the retailer, with the retailer’s own answers.

Common question
Is the Natural e-Pocket hypoallergenic?

Answer: Jay-Be's listing uses the word hypoallergenic without naming any certification scheme, so read it as a description. It also contains wool, which some people react to. For a child with allergies, a hot wash for the bedding and airing the mattress regularly do more than any label. If your child has allergy symptoms that don't settle, that's a question for your GP.

Common question
Is bamboo better for children?

Answer: Not in any way I'd pay extra for. Bamboo in bedding is usually a viscose fibre made from bamboo pulp, soft to the touch and fine to sleep on, and it doesn't make a mattress healthier. The useful parts of this mattress are the wool and the two layers of pocket springs. Treat the bamboo as a pleasant extra rather than the reason to choose it.

Common question
What does the wool do in a children's mattress?

Answer: Wool breathes and moves moisture away from the body, so it sleeps cooler and drier than synthetic fibre on its own. That helps a child who wakes up hot or sweaty. In the Natural e-Pocket the wool sits in the comfort layers with bamboo, over two layers of pocket springs, so the springs carry the support and the wool handles the warmth.
