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

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.

From the beginning I wasn't feeling comfortable as it was firm. After a week my body adjusted and I am enjoying a sound sleep and can lie on my back feeling less pain. It's a good product I guess. Delivery guys were amazing and communicated well.
