Firm support ideal for spinal alignment that works really well for back sleepers.

Comfort foam layer for pressure relief and a memory style plushness.

Breathable cover aiding in temperature regulation will keep you at the right temperature.

Pocket springs are one of the better support systems.

Mattress is described as firm, which might not cater to individuals who prefer a softer, more plush sleeping surface. Particularly, side sleepers or those with certain pressure point sensitivities might find it too hard for comfort.

The comfort layer is on the thinner side, it may not provide adequate cushioning for some individuals, leading to discomfort especially for those who prefer a soft and deep comfort layer feel.

Why our sleep experts loved it

Today we are taking a closer look at the Maypole Backcare Mattress, a new mattress that is among their (Bensons for Beds) offerings targeting individuals in need of back support during their slumber. Below we will unfold the layers of the Maypole Backcare Mattress, analysing its construction, materials, and the value proposition it offers to the average sleeper.

Features and Construction

Material Quality

The Maypole Backcare Mattress encompasses a blend of orthopaedic springs and comfort foam enveloped in a breathable fabric cover. The choice of materials signifies a focus on providing a firm yet comfortable sleeping surface.

Layer Analysis

Support Core: The orthopaedic springs form the backbone of this mattress, aiming to provide the firm support necessary for maintaining spinal alignment, which is a boon for back and stomach sleepers.

Comfort Layers: A layer of comfort foam graces the top, striving to offer a cushioning effect to alleviate pressure points, despite the firmness of the springs below.

Firmness Level: Positioned on the firmer end of the spectrum, this mattress aligns with the needs of those who require solid support during their sleep.

Performance Analysis

Support and Comfort

The Maypole Backcare Mattress embodies a dual-layer construction that orchestrates a synergy between support and comfort. The foundation of orthopaedic springs serves as the bastion of support, meticulously engineered to provide a firm backbone that assists in maintaining a neutral spinal alignment. This is particularly beneficial for back and stomach sleepers who often require a solid support system to prevent sagging and the consequent aches.

On the flip side of the firm support is a layer of comfort foam, acting as a cushion to cradle the body's contours. This layer seeks to mitigate the firmness of the springs, providing a gentle reprieve for pressure points, thus fostering a semblance of comfort amidst the firmness.

Motion Isolation

The realm of motion isolation is where spring mattresses traditionally might not shine as bright. The inherent design of springs often allows for motion transfer across the bed, which could be a predicament for couples, especially if one partner has a tendency to toss and turn. The Maypole Backcare Mattress, with its orthopedic spring construction, might follow this traditional narrative, potentially falling short in providing the motion isolation that memory foam or hybrid mattresses boast of. This aspect is worth considering for those who prioritise a still sleeping surface despite the nocturnal movements of their partner.

Value Proposition

The ethos of the Maypole Backcare Mattress seems to resonate with a straightforward, no-nonsense approach. It is tailored to meet the quintessential need for firm back support, sans the frills that often accompany more premium offerings. The simplicity in design and construction reflects a practical mindset, focusing on delivering the essentials robustly.

The crux of its value proposition seemingly hinges on its price point. Fortunately it finds itself priced competitively, meaning it successfully carves a niche among budget-conscious buyers who are on the hunt for a reliable, firm-support solution without burning a hole in their pocket. The absence of additional features or technologies is a trade-off for the practicality and affordability it aims to offer. This makes the Maypole Backcare Mattress a potentially sensible choice for those who appreciate value-driven, straightforward sleep solutions that aim to fulfil the core requirement of back support.

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.

The bed is great, however the sales pitch wasnt! i buy all my beds from Bensons , i must have bought 4 or 5 in the last 4 years. Visited Speke store to purchase my last one , the lady who i think was the manager or supervisor very keen for a sale, which is fine. However this was the first time purchasing an ottoman bed. All my previous purchases had been divan which the delivery driver's put together for you. When i asked do they do the same for the ottoman bed she replied , no we dont but its literally 4 screws!!!!!!!!!! 1.5hrs of paying for a handyman we got there. I was really unhappy so the bed cost be an extra 50 pounds for a handyman to install !!

WOW staff in Yeovil shops was fantastic helpful I don't know I wanted And oh boy by mattress is going to heaven every night it's so comfy. I'm not exaggerating at that out of 10 for absolute service. How have I gotten staff and delivery procedure? I'd recommend them anytime thank you not us. I purchased recommended by the store members and I asked her for help and she picked the perfect mattress me. I'm disabled with my arthritis she said this smashes out I hope boy I like to say it perfect service it's raining I can say negative about them. Sorry for the answer that is no I can say is keep the good work out and keep smiling. Thank you very much.

I bought my first bed from this company last week, just to be sure I could have a good experience and here we are today I just booked the second bed in another colour, since I do like coloured things! All very good, the room looks great, both single beds are lovely and comfortable! I had a query about the assembly the first time and the customer service answered straight away sending instructions for assembly which was very easy! I have been followed both time by Zain and everything has always been quick and smooth. The delivery was very efficient at 7 am in the morning! I greatly recommend it!

Well we've had our new bed for about a fortnight and I can honestly say I've had the best nights sleep for a long time. I do suffer with back and knee problems and usually have to hobble about for about half an hour when I get up. Not any more! This mattress is firm but not 'rock' like and having the wool layer means that the bed is lovely and warm in no time. Looking forward to trying the 'cool' side in summer. Even my husband has had to grudgingly admit that his back is much better since using the new mattress, so, result! I would definitely recommend it.

Delivered on the 12th of February . We have slept on the mattress for 3 weeks and there is still an odd smell to it . As described in another review like it has been stored in a farmyard environment . Hoping smell will disappear. Has any one else discovered this with the maypole mattress. The sales manager at Plympton was very helpful in helping us choose which type of mattress . Very comfortable and good quality but shame about the aroma .

Great value and quality compared to other more expensive mattresses - Very comfortable and supportive Delivery guys were great and very helpful taking it up to 3rd floor One complaint would be the number of emails you get leading up to actually getting your delivery - Felt like being stalked!!! Only need a confirmation / receipt for the order and then a confirmation regarding the delivery date / time

Before I bought the mattress I had awful pains in my back and I did not look forward to going to bed at all. Now I can't wait for my bed time to come around!! You might think a firm mattress would not be comfortable but after several nights sleep on it the pains in my back have disappeared ! If you're having the same problems buy this mattress too and see for yourself!!

Very pleased with my new mattress, firm and very comfortable. It was delivered by two great guys who actually walked up the road carrying it due to limited van access, battling against the weather. It had corner protectors and completely covered in a thick plastic to keep it clean and damage free. Product, service, delivery and email updates were great! Thank you.

I need a reasonably firm mattress due to back problems and I liked this one when I tried it in the shop. After about a month of use, I can say that it is exactly as firm as I hoped, but actually considerably more comfortable than similar mattresses I've had in the past. The snooze button on the alarm clock definitely gets a lot more use these days!

Went to the Basingstoke store and selected this mattress as a replacement. Mattress was delivered on time and communications from Bensons was excellence. It has been a few weeks since delivery and I have experienced restful supported sleep. It was worthwhile replacing my mattress and I would recommend Bensons as a great supplier of quality products.
