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

Hits the mark on every metric for success with a premium pocket spring base layer paired with a better-than-memory foam gel upper comfort layer. It really is everything you need from a mattress.

Provides good form support for anyone with a bad back.

Very comfy mattress which provides support while sleeping.

Soft texture material but very supportive.
Reinforced edge support makes it very easy to sleep close to the edge.

Cons

Side sleepers might struggle due to the tension offered.

Not every owner finds it as firm as the label says. One wrote "I would not say this is a firm mattress as described", and another called it "more a 'medium' mattress, ie one that you sink into."

It's heavy to rotate, and the turning handles are on the sides only. One owner wrote "Could have handles at the ends as well as sides to help with rotating the mattress but this is a minor point."

The edges don't suit everyone. One owner felt "The sides seem to be too soft", while another said that after a few months the sides "have started bulging".

Most owners who mention heat say the gel keeps them cooler, but one found it "Far too warm".

It can take a few nights to get used to the gel layer. One owner wrote "you do need to sleep on it a few nights if your not used to the gel."

The Sleepeezee 2000 Hybrid Pocket Mattress does exactly what it says on the tin, it combines pocket springs with a gel foam layer. The breathable knitted cover is finely quilted, and a knit like that should be soft and properly stretchy, not that plasticky feel you sometimes get. Under it are 2000 pocket springs, 1000 SoftTech springs that contour to you and 1000 traditional ones as the sturdy base, so each spring should push back on its own instead of the whole thing moving as one. One owner put it as "Good firm mattress and no roll together making for a good nights sleep". Owners who mention heat mostly say the 4cm StayCool gel layer keeps them cooler, one wrote it "does seem to keep me cooler than other mattresses Ive tried", so it shouldn't have that stuffy, heat-trapping vibe some foam-heavy hybrids can give off.

With the Sleepeezee Hybrid 2000 Pocket Mattress you get both Pocket Sprung and Gel Foam. Back sleepers are who this build should suit: 2000 pocket springs under 4cm of gel ought to keep your hips level without leaving you perched on top. Several owners call it firm but not a brick, and one wrote "my back isn't stiff when I get up anymore", though a few found it softer than the firm label says. Side sleeping is a bit more hit and miss, if you're lighter or have bony shoulders you might find the gel layer not quite deep enough to take the edge off, especially if you like a plusher feel. The Gel Foam layer does give a smoother, slightly cushioned surface, but it will still sleep a touch warmer than a mattress that leans more on natural fibres, so if you run hot it's something to think about. The Knitted Cover, which is both Hypoallergenic and Anti Microbial is finished with a fine stretch fabric for durability and softness, although even with the built-in turning handles this sort of hybrid can be a bit of a wrestle to rotate. You'll sleep really well on this comfortable mattress that offers a fantastic combination of support, pressure relief, comfort and durability.

Suitability

  • Back Sleepers 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 3.5/5
  • 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 5/5
  • 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 4.5/5
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress 4/5
  • 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 4.5/5
  • 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 4.5/5
  • 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.

Perfect mattress for me, wanted a firm and supportive mattress but not a brick. I've had Sleepeezee before and this one is recommended by Which? so seemed like an obvious choice.Happy with my purchase, sleeping better and would buy again.

It has sufficient firm support for our backs but the gel layer gives a little softness so your hips don't feel pressure if sleeping on your side. We replaced a 9 year old sealy ortho millionaire and find this far superior in comfort

This mattress looks good, and is comfortable, but if you are looking for firm I believe this is more a 'medium' mattress, ie one that you sink into. The handles make it easy to rotate for one fairly unfit person.

Good Points: This mattress looks good, and is comfortable, but if you are looking for firm I believe this is more a 'medium' mattress, ie one that you sink into. The handles make it easy to rotate for one fairly unfit person. Improvement Points: Change the listing to 'medium'. This is not a firm mattress, my last one from Sealy was firm and is more like Sleepeezee 'extra firm'. This one you sink into it, and unfortunately gave me a bad back. I'm thankful for the 'trial' which enabled me to swap for an sleepeezee 'extra firm' but which seems to be more like a firm.

Good Points: Material seems high quality and make feels sturdy. One feature like the most is the reinforced edge support, which make it very easy to sleep close to the edge. Improvement Points: We just had this mattress for over a month and now considering to change it. The description shows firm support, however, it is a bit misleading. If you suffer back pain, definitely looking something else. There is no way near firm support.
