Why our sleep experts loved it
I got my hands on the Staples Revitalise Eco Latex Pocket 3800 Mattress in-store and it was one I was looking forward to, mainly because a 3800 pocket spring count in a medium tension build usually feels properly 'grown up' compared to the more basic options. The Staples Revitalise Eco Latex Pocket 3800 Mattress is a medium firmness mattress featuring high quality, high capacity 3800 pocket springs which will aid in providing the user with the ultimate in individual comfort,
For comfort, Staples have added an ecoAir foam layer for increased breathability as well as deep and luxurious comfort. Pressing my palm into the top, you can feel that ecoAir layer give first, then the pocket springs start pushing back underneath rather than the whole surface dipping at once. That said, if you are expecting a big, slow memory foam hug, you will not get it here, it is more of a buoyant, springy comfort.
The mattress also makes use of the Posture Perimeter Plus System for a full sleep surface, which will allow you to fully stretch out your arms and legs. Sitting on the edge, it held up better than a lot of pillowtop mattresses I have tried, you do not get that instant slide-off feeling, although it still compresses a bit once you perch there for a minute. The pillowtop is a further comfort layer which will give aid in providing you with even more comfort. Lying on my back, my hips felt nicely supported and I could feel the pocket springs responding in smaller sections, which is what you want from a higher spring count. On my side though, I can see lighter side sleepers finding it a touch firm around the shoulder, the latex support comes through quite quickly. This easy-care non-turn mattress is simply rotated when needed, preventing the need to awkwardly try and flip such a large and deep mattress, but it does mean you are relying on the top comfort layers long term, you cannot flip it to even out wear.
The eco-friendly mattress is perfect for people with allergies, and it is made with Tencel™ fabric, which is 30 times more breathable than memory foam. Running my hand across the cover it felt smooth and cool to the touch, and it did not have that plasticky feel some 'cool touch' fabrics can have. Still, if you sleep very hot, do not assume this will be ice-cold, the pillowtop and foam layers can still hold a bit of warmth compared to a simpler sprung mattress.
The Eco-foam and latex provide firm support and ultimate comfort and features an impressive 10 year guarantee. For me personally, it sits in the good bracket if you want a medium that leans supportive, but if you are a strict side sleeper or you like a really plush top, I would be looking at something softer or with a thicker comfort layer for the money.
