In our experience, the materials and construction that go into this product can make it suitable for the following people.

What our reviewers found

Pros

A good degree of softness that is ideal for side sleepers and those with a lighter frame.

Handles for turning is a nice feature you don't often see these days.

Doesn't make you feel too hot while you sleep.

Cons

Some users have reported noisy springs and lack of padding on the sides.

The mattress may not last as long as more expensive options.

May not be suitable for those who prefer a firmer mattress with more support.

The Romantica Memory Foam Mattress is perfect for those who like to be hugged by their mattress. Featuring traditional open coil springs which make up the inner core of this mattress, they are topped on one side with a 1.5cm layer of memory foam and finished with a knitted bamboo cover to maximise comfort.

You also get a reinforced mattress edge which gives added strength and durability reducing roll-together and roll-off, whilst the soft knitted cover includes turning handles making it easier to rotate the mattress without issue.

The mattress is handmade in the UK using British materials and has a soft feel for a good nights sleep. The mattress gives your body the correct support and pressure relief for a sound night's sleep.

How it scores
of the Romantica Bamboo Memory Mattress
Scored from the build and owner reviews: each measure starts from how this construction usually performs, then moves with what owners of this mattress report against owners of similar mattresses.
Scored from the build and owner reviews: each measure starts from how this construction usually performs, then moves with what owners of this mattress report against owners of similar mattresses.

Suitability

  • Back Sleepers 3.5/5
  • 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 4/5
  • 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 3/5
  • 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 3.5/5
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress 3.5/5
  • 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 3.5/5
  • 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
  • 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.

-Supportive without being as stiff as a board. -Turning handles make it easy to rotate and flip over every couple of weeks. -The tufts aren't too deep so i don't feel lumps and bumps and bumps all over. -Overall enjoying a much more rested night. -Good support on the sides so i don't feel like ill roll off the edge.

The main "problem" was I thought I had purchased a Topper; mistaking inches for centimetres. Mea Culpa! I was totally to blame! Add to the increased height of the bed my good lady declared that it was "too soft"; personally, I thought it was okay! I have now returned the mattress and purchased an Emma Topper.

Perfect softness for me (80kg used by only me). After trying ones at a well know high street shop I would say it was a comfort level 3.Delivery was fast and early in the day. Quality feels as good as ones I saw in shops, non of the spring squeak others have mentioned.

The mattress is very comfortable, I paid a lot more for a Vesgantti mattress, which I gave away because I had aches and pains after sleeping on it, this mattress is way more comfortable and I am now getting a good nights sleep

Comfortable. Softer than our previous medium mattress. Have had good sleep. Not waking with aching/sore joints. Mattress is supportive and doesn't seem to have the hippo/duck effect! Good value for money.

The mattress was quite comfortable, but was rather bouncy. I think for a single sleeper the mattress would be ideal, but if another persons movements bother you, then it may not be the one for you.
