Why our sleep experts loved it
If you've ever woken up in the middle of the night and couldn't get comfortable, it's time to ditch your old mattress. I got my hands on the Slumberland Memory Plus 1800 Pocket Mattress in-store and had a proper poke about, and straight away it felt like it's aimed at people who want that firmer, more supportive vibe rather than a soft, sink-in feel. With this new Slumberland 1800 Pocket Memory Plus Mattress, you'll be able to get comfortable in no time at all, and with enhanced orthopaedic support you'll find additional pressure relief helping with unwanted aches and pains.
The Slumberland Memory Plus 1800 Pocket Mattress is designed to reduce pressure points and provide a comfortable night's sleep. Running my hand across the top, the cover felt smooth enough, but you can tell the comfort is coming from the memory foam underneath rather than any big, plush quilting. When I pressed down with my palm and then my elbow, the memory foam gave that slow, moulding response, but it doesn't feel overly thick, so you don't get swallowed up by it. The memory foam comfort layer provides pressure relief that rebounds while the pocket sprung support layer provides a firm tension for those who need a little bit more support than average. Lying on my back, my hips felt nicely held up and I could feel the pocket springs pushing back individually, which is what you want if your lower back tends to complain. On my side though, I could feel a bit more pressure around the shoulder than I'd like, so if you're a lighter side sleeper this firmness could come across as a touch too hard. The mattress is 31cm deep, which is perfect for most beds and bed frames, but do double check your fitted sheets because that extra depth can be a pain if you're used to standard 25cm-ish mattresses.
This mattress is perfect for back and stomach sleepers and is available in all typical sizes. Just be aware that memory foam can sleep a bit warmer than a straight spring mattress, and at this sort of spec I'd also like to see proper side handles for rotating because 31cm of mattress isn't the easiest thing to wrestle on your own.
