Why our sleep experts loved it
We've been diving into plenty of different Bensons for Beds mattresses tonight and now we find ourselves taking a closer look at the Maypole Ortho Backcare Mattress—a specialised solution that offers an extra-firm feel, designed for those with specific orthopaedic needs. This mattress, brought to you direct from Bensons for Beds who act as both the retailer and manufacturer in this instance bring a unique offering in the realm of sleep technology, providing unparalleled support and durability that potentially goes a bit too niche into the ultra firm segment. Suitable for you? Maybe, but likely not, let's unpack why this may or may not suit yourself.
Who is this product for?
This mattress is a highly specialised product, best suited for individuals with pronounced orthopaedic needs. It is not recommended for side sleepers or most back sleepers unless they have specific requirements for extra-firm support. What this means is that The Maypole Ortho Backcare Mattress is engineered to serve as an orthopaedic sleep aid with an extra-firm tension that is designed to provide robust spinal alignment and support, particularly beneficial for those with back issues or those who require a firmer sleeping surface for medical reasons.

Review
This bed is a unique product in the sleep industry with an impressive (for the price) 1000 pocket springs providing individualised support, making it superior to its open coil and reflex foam counterparts. The springs are highly reactive, adapting to your body's movements and offering a personalised sleep experience that reacts to your movements in a very resistive way due to the extra firm tension.
One of the standout features of this mattress is its seasonal double-sided design. One side is equipped with a breathable, hypoallergenic layer made from 42% recycled materials, ideal for warmer months. The flip side features a cozy wool layer, perfect for cooler months, ensuring you'll neither sweat nor shiver during sleep.
While the mattress offers robust support, it's worth noting that it's a very niche product. Its extra-firm tension makes it unsuitable for a broad range of sleepers, limiting its appeal to those with specific orthopaedic needs who sleep exclusively on their back. However, its strong 5-year guarantee and the fact that it's manufactured in a British Kitemark™ Quality Accredited factory add layers of trust and reliability to the product.
Ultimately the Maypole Ortho Backcare Mattress is a highly specialised solution designed for those with specific orthopaedic needs. Its unique features, such as the seasonal double-sided design and robust edge support, make it a compelling but niche choice in the mattress market.
