Why our sleep experts loved it

The St. Issey Memory Mattress is a product that promises to redefine your sleep experience by combining traditional spring support with a layer of highly responsive foam. It's a combination we have seen plenty over the last decade and ultimately rewards side sleepers looking for a mattress that offers a soft comfort rating, let's dive into the specifics.

Personal Experiences

Laying down on this mattress, it felt like landing on a cloud, albeit a bit too soft for me personally. You see, the softness enveloped me, providing an immediate sense of relaxation but not much in the way of support. For someone who enjoys the softer things in life, this mattress would feel like a dream come true.

The support layer

The mattress features an open coil spring unit that works in tandem with a layer of memory foam. This combination aims to offer even weight distribution and pressure-relieving comfort.

The open coil springs provided a level of support that felt balanced, not too firm but not too soft either. It felt as if the mattress was adapting to my body, offering a personalized sleep experience.

The comfort layer

The mattress incorporates a layer of memory foam that contours around your body, providing responsive comfort. It perfectly contoured around my shape, providing a sense of security and comfort that I often miss in firmer mattresses. That said, the support layer and comfort layer combination comes with a soft comfort rating, making it ideal for side sleepers who require a softer surface to relieve pressure on their hips and shoulders.

Sleeping positions

As a side sleeper, the softness of this mattress felt like a paradise. It provided the cushioning my hips and shoulders needed, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

While the mattress is a dream for side sleeping, it may not be the best choice for back and stomach sleepers. The softness, although luxurious, could potentially lead to spinal misalignment and discomfort for these sleep positions.

The St. Issey Memory Mattress is a fantastic choice for side sleepers looking for a soft, pressure-relieving sleep surface. Its unique combination of open coil springs and memory foam offers a sleep experience that is both comfortable and supportive.

  • Back Sleepers

  • 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.
  • Stomach Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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.

Odour

Decided on a softer mattress so brought this. It is really comfortable, being petite all other mattresses felt so hard but this is actually soft but supportive and cosy. Paul and Chi Chi who delivered the mattress were polite, old mattress out and new one in, in minutes, very happy with the service from BFB, will definately use next time I need a mattress and would stick with this particular mattress.

I would recommend the St Issey mattress all night long. I had forgotten what a good nights sleep was.This mattress will Totaly deceive you. When u sit on it, it does not seem to have much support. But when you lie on it it's only then it comes to life. I took up Bensons challenge if I was not satisfied I could exchange it. That's a big no. I am very satisfied with this product.

Delighted with this mattress, gives support and yet feels soft. The depth of the mattress is ideal for me being a 'shortie'. - my feet actually touch the floor! Got a good deal from Bensons, every aspect of the purchase to delivery excellent.

Mattress not as soft as I had hoped, still seems quite firm to me. Great delivery drivers, Wayne & Rob. Brought new mattress up to the bedroom and moved the old mattress to the room next door for me as I couldn't move it on my own.
