Why our sleep experts loved it

The realm of sleep is deeply personal and finding the right mattress that caters to individual preferences and orthopaedic needs is a journey worth investing time in. Bensons for Beds has been a beacon of trust in this sector, offering a plethora of options for discerning buyers. The Pensilva Ortho Mattress is one such offering aimed at delivering a blend of firm support and plush comfort. This review delves into the intricacies of its construction, comfort materials, and other key characteristics that set it apart in the crowded market.

Features and Construction

Material Quality

The hallmark of a good mattress often lies in the quality of materials employed. The Pensilva Ortho Mattress boasts high-grade construction materials (1000 pocket springs) that promise durability and a premium feel. The hypoallergenic fabric cover is a thoughtful addition that caters to the sensitive sleeper, reducing the potential for allergic reactions.

Layer Analysis

Support Core: The heart of the Pensilva Ortho Mattress lies in its robust support core. The individually wrapped pocket springs provide a firm foundation that contours to the body while minimizing motion transfer - a boon for couples.

Comfort Layers: The comfort layers are a blend of memory foam and natural fillings. The memory foam molds to the body, alleviating pressure points, while the natural fillings provide a plush, breathable surface aiding in temperature regulation.

Firmness Level: With a firmness rating falling on the firmer side of the spectrum, this mattress is tailored for those who require additional back support or prefer a solid feel beneath them as they slumber.

Performance Analysis

Support and Comfort: The harmonious blend of a sturdy support core and adaptive comfort layers make the Pensilva Ortho a haven for those seeking a restorative night’s sleep. The firm support aligns the spine, while the plush top layers offer a cushioned cradle for weary bodies.

Temperature Regulation: The natural fillings play a pivotal role in promoting airflow and wicking away moisture, ensuring a cool and dry sleeping environment through the seasons.

Motion Isolation: The pocket spring construction is adept at isolating motion, ensuring undisturbed sleep even with a restless partner.

When pitted against other orthopaedic mattresses in the market, the Pensilva Ortho stands out with its blend of firm support and plush comfort, a combination often sought but not always achieved.

It's a firm mattress and is good for my back. I was used to sleeping on a medium foam mattress that gave me back ache. After speaking to a guy in store in Stockport about my back issues he suggested I try this firm 1000 pocket sprung mattress. I purchased it with fingers crossed it'll help me get a good sleep. It took a while to get used to sleeping on a firm mattress and now I'm comfortable and pain free and sleeping well. What I like about this mattress also is it can be flipped over to sleep on the reverse side as well as rotating.

Sale and service very good all round - However, be aware the Pensilva Ortho Firm is very firm. Almost hard for someone who is only 9stone in weight - I have always had firm mattresses but this is definitely the 'firmest' - I am having to exchange for medium as unable to sleep on it as getting tingling in limbs and pressure on arms and hips (side sleeper) . Beautifully made however and delivery was great - let's see how the exchange goes.........

It's so comfortable! I tried every mattress in the shop about 40 times and kept coming back to this one! It has helped with my back issues and made my back pain completely go away with only 2 weeks of having it. So comfortable! Slightly on the firm side but still so lovely. Wouldn't change it, so pleased with this.

We would, and already have, thoroughly recommend Bensons, the divan bed, and the mattress. Compared to more expensive mattresses, this one is much lighter and easier to lift when making up, whilst substantial enough for a good night's sleep. When the time comes we will replace other mattresses with just the same.

Too soon to tell, it's only been one week and to be honest, there is quite a dip in the mattress already. I have rotated the mattress so will see if it dips again. I understand there will be some change but after one week, that seems a bit soon.

A very good quality mattress, however we would class it as very firm rather than firm. It has taken a week or two to feel in any way comfortable. We were told it was equivalent to our old mattress which was classed as a 4.

I am disappointed by the amount of 'settlement ' indentation. Although this was advised, I have never experienced this with any prior firm or orthopaedic mattress. Not really what I was looking for to truthful.

What Makes The Pensilva Ortho Mattress Great?

We've expanded on the specifications of the product to better help you understand it's benefits.

Hand tufted - For a supportive feel

Hand tufting is a traditional method for adding additional support to a mattress through additional secure fixings found in the top and sides of the mattress. Tufting can make the mattress feel slightly firmer but not considerably. The benefits however, are that the materials inside are more secure. Think of it like that weird little triangle in a pizza, it keeps everything where it should be.

Hypoallergenic Comfort Layer - breathable to help you sleep fresh, and 42% recycled.

Hypoallergenic materials are designed to resist common allergens such as dust mites, mould, and mildew. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who suffer from allergies or asthma, as it helps reduce exposure to allergenic triggers in the sleep environment.

Free 5-year guarantee – for total peace of mind

A 5 year guarantee goes far beyond the average offered in an industry plagued by 1-year mandatory minimums. What's more, the average life expectancy of mattresses comes in at around 7 years meaning you get almost full lifetime coverage with this sort of guarantee.

1000 pocket springs – which adapt individually to body movement, for premium responsive support

The independent movement of pocket springs helps to minimise the transfer of motion from one side of the mattress to the other. This can be especially advantageous if you or your partner have different sleep preferences or are sensitive to disturbances.

Comfort choice - Firm (Also available in a medium as the Pensilva Ortho Comfort)

Unlike softer mattresses that allow the body to sink deeply, a firm mattress prevents excessive sinkage. This is important for back sleepers, as it can help prevent the spine from curving unnaturally, which can lead to discomfort and pain over time.

Dynamic reinforced edge support - for added durability, reduces roll-off, and optimises the sleep surface all the way to the edge of the mattress

This consists of strategically placed reinforcements along the perimeter of the mattress which provide extra strength and stability, preventing sagging and maintaining a consistent sleep surface, even near the edges.

Traditional double sided mattress - flip and turn regularly to prolong the life of your mattress Mattress height - 26.5cm

This type of mattress has two usable sides. Both sides are designed for sleeping, and you can flip the mattress over to use the other side. This feature is a characteristic of many older mattress designs.

Damask cover – for a soft, durable & breathable sleeping surface

Damask fabric is known for its soft and smooth texture. When used as a mattress cover, it provides a comfortable surface to sleep on which can enhance your overall sleeping comfort.

Orthopaedic support – firmer fillings are hand tufted for added levels of support

The mattress incorporates fillings that are denser and firmer than those found in standard mattresses. These materials are carefully selected to offer enhanced support to your body.

Made in the UK in a British Kitemark™ Quality Accredited factory - Recognised as a symbol of quality, safety and trust for more than 100 Years

The Kitemark™ has been a symbol of quality, safety, and trust for more than a century. This heritage underscores the product's commitment to maintaining these standards.

I’m Green™ packaging - made from no less than 50% sugar cane and 30% recycled plastics

Sugar cane is a renewable and biodegradable resource, making it an eco-friendly alternative to traditional packaging materials.
