The Sleepeezee Backcare Deluxe 1000 Pocket Mattress is a traditional sort of mattress, and I mean that kindly: a sprung core, soft white fibre fillings on top, tufts to pin them down and a knitted cover over the lot. It is made up of 1000 pocket springs, which offer orthopaedic support and lower back support to relieve pressure on your spine. Each spring sits in its own fabric pocket and reacts on its own, in a more ‘individual’ way than an open coil, which is what you want if you share a bed. Couples among the owners bear that out, one writing “I don't feel my husband moving about next to me as it is individual springs”, though a few still feel a partner turning over. The 25cm deep mattress also includes turning handles to help you turn without waking your partner, with a double-sided mattress for long-term use on either side, and I do like seeing that because it usually means it will hold its shape better over time. The mattress is handcrafted in the UK from specially selected components, and comes complete with a 10-year guarantee.
The Sleepeezee Backcare Deluxe 1000 Pocket Mattress is a firm mattress, ideal for people who prefer a firmer mattress. Soft white fibres are the only comfort filling on the specification, so I would expect the sort of ‘keeps you up’ feel rather than one that lets you sink in, and plenty of owners describe exactly that: “firm but not concrete firm” in one owner's words, “very firm but not hard” in another's. A fair number found it softer than the firm rating led them to expect, so do not order it expecting a paving slab. Side sleeping is where a build like this gives least, because there is not much above the springs for a shoulder to settle into, so if you are a lighter side sleeper (say under about 70kg) I would expect it to feel on the hard side. The owners who mention it are split: one of eight and a half stone woke with stiff shoulders and another wrote “Not comfy when sleeping on your side”, while a third is comfortable on back or side. The mattress is hand-tufted to ensure the mattress stays in good condition for years to come. The cover is a knitted fabric, and not every owner rates it: one wrote “Outer layer could be a better fabric”, and a few could feel the tufts through it, which one of them fixed with a topper. It is hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites. It has been designed with comfort in mind and has been manufactured in the UK using traditional methods.
The Sleepeezee Backcare Deluxe 1000 Pocket Mattress also comes with an orthopaedic support system that helps to align your body whilst you sleep. For me personally, the big win here is the firm, no-nonsense support, but the trade-off is you do not get that plush, pressure-relieving feel that some people want around the hips and shoulders.
