Why our sleep experts loved it
The Sleepeezee Perfectly British Regent 2600 Pocket Mattress is one to add to your list of perfect presents for Christmas morning. I got my hands on this one in-store and it was the natural fillings that grabbed me first, it has that proper 'posh' feel when you first press into it. The luxurious natural fillings of wool, silk and cotton create a soft, comfortable mattress that's going to suit those looking for something that will provide a deeper and more relaxed sleep.
With the comfort layer, we have wool. Wool is an excellent natural insulator, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter, and silk is one of the finest natural materials, helping to control temperature and moisture. When I ran my hand across the surface and gave it a few firm pushes, it had a nice bit of spring back rather than that slow, sinky feel you get from memory foam. Wool is also springy and durable, making it wonderfully comfortable. That said, if you're buying this expecting a big 'hug' or loads of contouring around the shoulder, it doesn't really do that, it feels more buoyant than moulded.
Along the edge of the mattress you get air vents to help the mattress breathe and improve airflow as you sleep.
When it comes to the support layer, you are getting a medium-firm tension which ensures that you get the a high degree of firmness with enough softness to still give you the comfort you desire. Lying on my back, I felt nicely level through the hips, and you can tell the pocket springs are doing their own thing rather than moving as one unit. On my side though, I could see lighter side sleepers (especially under about 70kg) finding it a touch firm around the shoulder, it's not a super plush top. Edge support was decent when I sat on the side to put my shoes on, but it does dip a bit, so if you perch on the edge a lot, keep that in mind.
Something else that stands out with this mattress is the new unique selling point from Sleepeezee in the form of a 60 night sleep trial, allowing you to return and exchange this product in a hassle free way to ensure that you will always get the best nights sleep. After all, we are all different and what's comfortable for one person is not the same for another. It's a great strategy from Sleepeezee and one that will prove popular with customers. For me personally, the trial is the big reassurance here because medium-firm with natural fillings is a bit of a love it or leave it feel, and at this sort of level I'd also expect really strong edge support and proper handles for rotating (worth checking what you're getting when it arrives).
