What our reviewers found

Pros

  • Owners describe it as firm and well made. One called it a 'Superb high quality firm mattress.'
  • Reviewers with back or joint trouble reported less pain. One owner wrote 'Much less joint pain with this firm mattress.'
  • Owners also found it comfortable. One wrote that it 'really cushions the body'.
  • The outer rows of springs have a firmer tension (the Calibar edge). One owner reported 'no drooping at sides after sleeping a good number of weeks'.
  • Double-sided, so you can flip it every few months to spread the wear.
  • Tufted damask cover over soft white fibre fillings, handcrafted in the UK with a 10-year guarantee.

Cons

  • It's firm enough that some owners add a topper. One, coming from a softer spring and foam mattress, wrote that it 'is firm and has no foam and therefor quite hard' and was 'taking a bit of getting used to'.
  • One reviewer found it 'not very good' and didn't say why.

Scored from the build: how this construction usually performs, compared with mattresses of a similar type and price.

Suitability

  • Back Sleepers 4.5/5
  • 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 3/5
  • 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 5/5
  • 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 4/5
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress 5/5
  • 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 4.5/5
  • 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.

Ease of Use

  • Turning handles 5/5
  • Mattresses typically need to be rotated frequently and having turning handles can be massively beneficial, particularly in larger sizes which can become fairly heavy.

Odour

  • Initial Odour 4.5/5
  • 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 5/5
  • 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 4.5/5
  • This is based on community driven customer reviews tied to product reviews and grouped together at a brand level to produce a score.

This mattress is taking a bit of getting used to. Previous mattress was an inexpensive spring and foam which was quite soft. This new mattress is firm and has no foam and therefor quite hard. I have put a good quality thick natural topper on this mattress and by doing so it has proved to be very comfortable. The Relyon 1000 is well made and very supportive. It is also double sided which should see it last quite a while. As a person who suffers back problems this new mattress has greatly reduced the pain after setting it up properley.
