Who is it best for? powered by SnoozeScore

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

  • Cheap enough for a guest room or occasional bed.
  • A memory foam layer softens the feel of the coil.
  • Rolled and vacuum-packed for awkward stairs.
  • Owners using it as a spare bed are happy with it.

Cons

  • A Bonnell open coil, which I wouldn't use as an everyday bed.
  • Owners find it softer than its medium-to-firm label.
  • No extra edge support; one owner says the edges collapse.
  • Memory foam on top holds warmth.

The Sareer Matrah Cool Blue Memory Coil Mattress in a Box is a guest-room or tight-budget mattress, and I wouldn't buy it for anyone's everyday bed. Under the cool blue memory foam is a Bonnell open coil, the linked spring unit I only accept on a budget or for occasional use. It's never a bed I'd put under a child.

Bonnell springs under a layer of memory foam

The core is a Bonnell open coil, springs joined together into one unit, under a layer of Sareer's Cool Blue memory foam and a stretch-knit cover. It's hand-tufted, one-sided, 22cm deep and arrives vacuum-packed. The listing says it has no extra edge support and is endorsed by the National Bed Federation.

Open coil passes movement across the bed and tends to dip where you lie most nights. That's why it suits a spare room, where it's slept on now and then. The memory foam softens the feel, though memory foam holds warmth whatever colour it's dyed. I hate being too hot, so I'd notice; if you run warm, you will too. Sareer's anti-microbial claims for the foam are its own. Air the room well for the first few days and wash the bedding often, which is what keeps a bed fresh.

Nearer medium than its label

It's sold as medium to firm, but owners put it softer than that, so I'd call it a medium. Several describe it as comfortable but not very supportive, one can feel the springs, and another found both edges collapse when sitting on them, which matches the lack of edge support. The happy owners mostly bought it for a spare room or a teenager. Avoid it for anyone who sits on the edge to dress, since one owner found the edges give way and nothing in the spec stops them.

Same money, pocket springs

For an everyday bed on a similar budget, the Sareer Matrah Reflex Plus Pocket 1000 swaps the open coil for pocket springs. For a guest room where it'll see a few nights a year, this is a fair choice.

Suitability

  • 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

  • Breathability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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.

Brand Rating

  • Overall Brand Rating
    ★★★★★

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

The mattress claims to be medium to firm, it's not it's very soft. It's still comfortable but wouldn't say it was supportive so if that's your type of mattress then it won't be for you. It's for a spare bed so won't be used often so not dire but I wouldn't buy it for my own bed but if you like a soft mattress then it will be great. It's nice quality on the face of it just depends on your preference.

The mattress came in box like it said was easy to open and it unfolded and went into shape quite quickly, we thought we would do this 1st before putting bed together to give it time to unfold. My son loves it he is sleeping well on it. The memory foam is nice and soft.

The mattress was packed with just the right amount of packaging. It was in a shrink wrapped bag and when opened expanded to proper size. It is a really comfortable mattress to sleep on.

I was dubious about a mattress in a box as I've never had one before. I slept on it for the first time last night and had a really good night's sleep. So, very happy.

Son loves it, he finds it quite Soft but he did have a Firm Single Mattress before this. Will see in the Summer if it's colder than a memory foam - hopefully so.

Somewhat disappointing, not much support, okay for a he occasional use in the guest bedroom, may suit a small child, but not enough support for an adult.

Questions and answers about the Sareer Matrah Cool Blue Memory Coil Mattress in a Box

Common questions answered by our team first, then questions shoppers asked the retailer, with the retailer’s own answers.

Image of the post author
Common question
What is a Bonnell spring mattress?

Answer: Bonnell is a type of open coil: hourglass-shaped springs linked together by wire into one unit. It's cheap and hard-wearing, but because the springs are joined, movement travels across the bed and the unit can dip where someone sleeps every night. Pocket springs, each in its own fabric pocket, avoid both problems.
Image of the post author
Common question
Is the Sareer Cool Blue Memory Coil soft or firm?

Answer: A medium. The listing says medium to firm, but owners keep describing something softer and not very supportive, which suits a guest who likes to sink in. If you need firm support every night, choose a pocket-sprung mattress with a firm rating instead, and check the owners agree with the label.
Image of the post author
Common question
Is the Cool Blue Memory Coil good for a child's bed?

Answer: I wouldn't use it for one. A child sleeps on the same bed every night for years, and open coil tends to dip where they lie, while the softer feel owners describe gives a growing back less support. For a child, I'd choose a pocket-sprung mattress that fits the frame with no gaps.
