Why our sleep experts loved it

It might be a bit of a stretch to refer to it as unparalleled comfort and luxury, but there is something to be said for this St Issey Memory Support Mattress. This budget-friendly sanctuary is designed to envelop you in a cocoon of support and coziness, making every night feel like a mini-vacation.

Construction

The St Issey Memory Support Mattress is a unique blend of traditional and modern elements. It features an open coil spring system, which is not my personal favorite but is surprisingly effective in this medium-tension setup. The mattress is topped with a layer of memory foam, a feature that's a delightful surprise at this price point.

Benefits of the Materials Used

The open coil springs provide a decent level of contouring, especially for side sleepers. The memory foam layer adds an extra dimension of comfort, cradling your body in a supportive embrace. While open coil springs may not be the pinnacle of mattress technology, they do a commendable job in this particular configuration. The memory foam is a cherry on top, offering a level of comfort not often seen in budget-friendly mattresses.

Who the Product Might Suit

This mattress is a godsend for those on a tight budget who still crave the comfort of memory foam. It's particularly well-suited for side sleepers, thanks to its medium tension and contouring capabilities.

Who the Product Won't Suit

If you're a back sleeper, this mattress may not offer the level of support you require. Additionally, if you're looking for advanced features like exceptional edge support, this might not be the mattress for you.

What is the Firmness and Optimum Sleeping Position Based on the Firmness?

The mattress comes with a medium firmness rating, making it versatile enough for both side and back sleepers. However, it leans more towards being beneficial for side sleepers due to the contouring effect of the open coil springs and memory foam.

About the Brand

Bensons for Beds is a well-established brand known for offering a wide range of mattresses to suit various budgets and preferences. Their St Issey Memory Support Mattress is a testament to their commitment to quality and affordability.

Final Thoughts

The St Issey Memory Support Mattress is a budget-friendly option that doesn't skimp on comfort. While it may not have the advanced features of more expensive models, it offers a level of comfort and support that is hard to find at this price point. It's an excellent choice for side sleepers and those looking to experience the comfort of memory foam without breaking the bank.

Suitability

*Assuming average weight, suitability will vary dependant on body type, use the quiz above for a more tailored guide.
  • 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.
  • Side Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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

  • Initial Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • This is based on community driven customer reviews tied to product reviews and grouped together at a brand level to produce a score.

This mattress is so comfy.Only had it for two weeks and had no problems sleeping. I was definitely in need of a new mattress I wake up now with no aches and pains in my back. I would definitely recommend this mattress it's lighter than my old one lifts easily when making the bed. Definitely a thumbs up from me .

St Issey memory support mattress is a single sided mattress. The thickness is reasonable and gives ok support when sleeping. The memory foam is a thin layer so not as comfortable as sleeping as ones with more memory foam thickness. Good price so reasonable purchase, a topper may make it better.

This is a really comfortable mattress that only needs rotating, which is a great bonus for me as I cannot flip a mattress on my own. The delivery was very efficient. I enjoyed tracking the lorry as it made its way through the county and the delivery was within the 2 hour slot.

Nice touch naming the mattress after one of the daughters of an ancient Cornish king and village! I find it very comfortable,but my wife thought it a little firm. This was resolved by fitting a mattress cover. Good product, would highly recommend it.

I needed a mattress which was not too deep as I have hip problems and cannot climb into bed! Also I needed the support it gives. This mattress meets both these needs and I am very pleased with it.
