Why our sleep experts loved it
I've been looking forward to getting my hands on the Sleepeezee 1000 Pocket Natural Adjustable Mattress because adjustable beds can be a bit picky with what you put on them. When I first saw it in person, the thing that stood out straight away was how 'proper' it feels for a 21cm mattress, not overly bulky, but not flimsy either. The Sleepeezee 1000 Pocket Natural Adjustable Mattress has 1000 pocket springs, which are topped with a special layer of wool and then encased in a natural cotton cover. The result is a medium tension mattress, with fillings on one side, reducing the need to flip the product with use.
Running my hand across the cotton cover, it felt smooth and breathable rather than that plasticky, shiny fabric you sometimes get on cheaper adjustable options. With Wool as a filling, it has unique qualities that help regulate body temperature, it also has natural anti-bacterial properties and is naturally flame retardant. That said, wool can feel a touch firmer and 'springier' than foam, so if you're expecting that slow sink-in hug, you won't get it here.
When I pressed down into the surface and then lay on it on my back, I could feel the pocket springs responding individually, it didn't just dip as one big slab. Medium tension is about right in the middle, but if you're a lighter side sleeper (say under about 70kg) you might find it a bit too pushy around the shoulder because there isn't a thick comfort layer to take the edge off. On the flip side, if you like a steadier, more supportive feel, it does a nice job of keeping you level without feeling like a board.
This mattress is made using a combination of pocket springs and wool with medium tension and is 21cm deep. It is single-sided (unlike most mattresses) and has a 5 year guarantee. It is handcrafted in the UK by Sleepeezee.
Worth saying, being single-sided is handy for not having to flip it, but it does mean all the wear is on the same face, so I'd be rotating it regularly. Also, a 5 year guarantee is fine, but at this sort of level I do like to see longer from some brands, so it's something to weigh up if you're comparing options.
