Tests & Verdict

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and 12+ years of industry insight.

One of the cheapest entrants on the market for those looking for orthopedic relief. Despite the standard sprung unit (we prefer pocket springs), the support performs well and customers are very happy.

While the brand is not a household name to many people unfamiliar with the industry, the product and manufacturer have both been around long enough that we have plenty of long term reviews and customers have no complaints to report after that period of time.

All popular UK sizes available.

Specialist mattress unlikely to be suitable for most people. Instead, only consider this if you require orthopedic support and board-like support on a soft upper comfort layer. 

1 year guarantee is standard but weak. As more consumer friendly manufacturers enter the market we expect these guarantees to increase and build more customer confidence with time.

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

  • 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.

I read all of the reviews before buying this mattress and ultimately decided on it based on the mostly good reviews and price. Here's the bottom line. It is a firm mattress with good support when you lay on it. However if you place your hand or foot down on it in any given place, it will give pretty easily. This makes me feel like it won't last super long. But I guess that's what you get with a value priced mattress. For the time being, I'm more comfortable and sleeping better than I ever have. Way less joint pain upon waking. Back problems have improved a lot. This bed is so comfy I look forward to climbing into it to sleep every night. Also, it will appear extremely firm the first few nights, and then soften up a little bit after a couple weeks of usage. It is also hard to fit into a standard king size fitted sheet, as other reviewers said. Its a few cm bigger than the sheet. Not impossible, just difficult. Could be solved easily by buying a bigger size sheet though.

I've had scoliosis and chronic back pain for years, and no mattress so far would give me the support I needed. I've tried sleeping on a wooden plank, on the floor, but those were only short term solutions.Since I got this mattress (extra firm - very hard surface), my pain has gone away almost completely, and I feel like a million bucks every morning. Excellent support, I'm really surprised by how good it is. Compared to most specialised mattress I've seen online running at over 1k or more, the value for money on this mattress is excellent.

If you're looking for an ultra firm mattress without spending hundreds of pounds this is the mattress for you. Believe you me it is rock solid. The support is just fantastic. Just enough comfort to rate it better than lying on a slab of concrete lol and admittedly sometimes you might struggle to get comfortable, but boy oh boy when you wake up in the morning your back and neck pains from the day before will thank you for it.I absolutely love it. How firm is it? Only two words are needed. Ultra firm.I'm in love with it.

This mattress is very firm just what I wanted as my back is so bad I needed good support. Doesnt dip or make you have to roll near youre other half who you cant stand! I like the outer material and feel of it, some reviews say its dated and old fashioned but looks ok to me and easy to clean when your two year old p*sses on it. Waited a few month to write review so proof is in the pudding!

I really love this mattress. We have had it about 4 weeks now and it has transformed my sleeping. I definitely looked at the reviews for this bed and really hoped them to be true as Id been having really bad hip pains for nearly a year. I dont have the pain anymore. My husband and I both are really enjoying our sleep and would highly recommend this bed. The value for money is amazing....

I was looking for a mattress to support my back after years of back pain every morning,after reading the positives reviews of this mattress I decided to get it. It has changed my life completely, very firm mattress which supports my back and after a month sleeping on it I can't recommend it enough, good value for money for a top mattress.

Like all new very firm Mattresses, I found it a bit too hard at first, I'm quite a big lady so I also purchased a good topper just for softness. My sleep has improved a 100%. I would recommend to anyone who needs a hard mattress. quality and price realistic and fair. The delivery was fast, and the guys were helpful and courteous.

this is much better than my old one, as this one is firm all over but most important to me is that the edge is firm so that when i et out of bed the edge does not sink to low and makes it easier for me to stand up, because i have arthritis in my knees i cannot put to much presser on them to push up. very pleased with it.

Absolutely brilliant! Rock hard, just what I've been looking for for years. I can now sleep after 20 odd years of insomnia. It looks good too if that matters to you, it's a matress after all. When it arrived I thought they'd sent the wrong one because it looked and felt like a much more expensive mattress.

Very happy, a lot cheaper than the shops, really firm, which is what me and my wife were looking for. We got a king size, plenty of room, I'm a big fella and she can't feel me moving in the bed.Would definitely rate this mattress, paid next to nothing and no complaints what so ever.

At first, this was a very firm, comfortable bed that had sufficient top wadding and seemed superb value for money. But now, having had 12stone (and six feet) sleep in this for 5 months it has sagged in the middle, loosing it's support and initial comfort. Disappointing.
