Why our sleep experts loved it

The Simply By Bensons Glow Mattress is one of the latest in the new Bensons for Beds range that the company have put their exclusive "Simply Bensons" brand name behind. As with other mattresses within the range, this is full BSI Kitemark accredited which means that the mattress meets or surpasses all requirements necessary to constitute a good British product.

One of the key benefits of the Simply Bensons Harley Options Mattress is it's diverse firmness options. Where other mattresses use a specific firmness designation, alienating others that would have otherwise found the mattress suitable, this mattress is available in firm tension that will particularly suit side sleepers although back and stomach sleepers will still find something suitable.

When it comes to the top comfort layer, you get a dual white eco fibre layer of decent depth filling that will provide you a soft and luxurious feel.

Onto the support layer and you have a traditional open coil spring solution which is a tried and tested method of providing fair body contouring support that is evenly spread across the entire mattress.

This product is manufactured in Britain and comes with an impressive 5 year guarantee, covering you for most of the expected lifetime of the mattress (most people replace after 7-8 years on average).

Finally you have a soft touch fabric cover that will help keep you cool while ensuring reasonable breathability, helping to keep the mattress hygienic while ensuring an uninterrupted and restful sleep.

Why you can trust WantMattress We spend hours testing (and/or researching) every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. Find out more about how we test.

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

  • 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.

Ease of Use

  • Turning handles
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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.

When we went mattress shopping we weren't too sure of what to expect as the old mattress was 10 years old..We were helped by a very pleasant sales person and he helped us make a sensible decision on quality and prices wise...The delivery was on the date quoted and the two delivery men were superb.,took the old away and fitted the new....every thing went as planned and there was no glitches....Highly recommend Bensons and yes we'll buy our next bedding from them again....Top shelf!

Questions and Answers About The Simply by Bensons Glow Mattress

Prospective customers had the following questions about the product

Image of the post author
Verified Reviewer
I'm a side sleeper with a curvy figure. Would this mattress suit my sleeping habits?

Answer: This firm tension of this mattress is better suited for back and some stomach sleepers rather than side sleepers or those with hourglass figures. You might find that you need more sinkage from the support layer to accommodate your hips and shoulders comfortably. Best, Katie
