How we test
Our evaluation process for the Slumberland Naturals Premium Wool Mattress was a thorough and careful one. Our tester tried it in store, judging comfort, support, edge support and construction quality lying down.
Design and features
The Slumberland Naturals Premium Wool Mattress is impressive for its intelligent build and selection of supreme comfort materials. With a dual-layer pocket spring configuration (2550 springs to be precise), this mattress is designed to provide personalised support by independently adapting to your body movements. The top layer has a Tencel™ super soft-touch, stretch knit cover that ensures skin-friendliness (regenerated cellulose fibres like Tencel are used in medical textiles for exactly that reason) - a bonus for allergen-conscious sleepers.1
The sleep surface is thoughtfully quilted, featuring Truecomfort fillings that not only offer cushioned comfort but also facilitate air circulation. These fillings are sustainably sourced, composed of 75% recycled PET plastic-a nod to the brand's commitment to the environment. The mattress features a blend of GOTS-approved organic cotton and flax, guaranteeing not just luxurious comfort but also temperature regulation and antibacterial properties. Alongside, the All Season Wool Comfort ensures that you stay cosmically comfortable throughout the year, regardless of changing seasons.
Mattress comfort
The thing about comfort is that it is highly subjective. That being said, the Slumberland Naturals Premium Wool Mattress is an inviting fusion of firm support and plush comfort. The mattress spreads pleasingly to cradle your body while the dynamic reinforced edge support ensures durability and reduces roll-off. The hypoallergenic bamboo included in the mattress composition is a winner as it helps maintain a comfortable micro-climate through temperature regulation.
Suitability
Our analysis suggests that this mattress is ideal for back sleepers and certain stomach sleepers due to its firm tension. For side sleepers, however, it may be less than ideal as they commonly require a supportive layer with more sinkage to comfortably accommodate their hip and shoulder. However, if you are a back sleeper or require orthopaedic relief, opting for the firm version could be beneficial.
What customers thought
Most owners describe a comfortable, supportive mattress, and a good number say the aches they woke up with on their old one have gone. One wrote: "no more aches and pains in the mornings". Several who came from memory foam say it sleeps cooler, though a few found it warm.
The complaints are about firmness and dips. Some owners say the mattress delivered felt different from the one they tried in the shop, firmer for some and softer for others. One who ordered the firm wrote that it "is certainly not as firm as I had expected". Others report dips forming where they sleep within the first few weeks: "after a few days we had indentations where we sleep". Owners disagree about the edge support. One said "Even sitting on the edge it remains sturdy", another that "if you sit on the end of the bed it all caves in". It is also a deep mattress. One owner warned: "you will need deep fitted sheets".
The verdict
The Slumberland Naturals Premium Wool Mattress is impressive in its construction, offering stellar comfort with a careful selection of sustainably-sourced materials. While the price point is comparatively high, when factoring in the sustainability, comfort and durability aspects, it presents solid value for discerning sleepers especially those who sleep on their back or need orthopaedic relief. And with a long guarantee and the British Kitemark™ Quality Accreditation, it ticks all the boxes for a sound investment into decadent and restful sleep.
