Pros & Cons

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and a decade of industry insight.

Strong consumer demand exists for the gel based foam layer.

Pocket springs continue to be the best support layer for back and side sleepers alike.

Reasonable price point given high quality components.

Reviews are still a little light being so new.

No euro sizing available.

Price is reasonable given components however, may still price out many looking for a cheaper nights sleep.

Why our sleep experts loved it

Therapur is a leading manufacturer of advanced actigel pocket spring mattresses. The brands focus on research and development of their products has led to a huge number of positive customer interactions within the industry across the lineup. 

Therapur has a wide range of products, ranging from toddler mattresses to orthopaedic mattresses. They have established themselves as a reliable brand in the sleep industry and work in close partnership with Dreams, their parent company. The ActiGel® Arctic 800 Mattress continues this trend, with another great quality pocket spring mattress that may prove suitable for you. Let’s dive into what makes it great.

Benefits of the TheraPur ActiGel® Arctic 800 Mattress

The Arctic 800 mattress features a number of advanced technologies that provide exceptional support, comfort and breathability, like the Actigel Foam comfort layer. The comfort is derived from this top layer which works hand in hand with the lower layer of pocket springs, in this case 800 of them. I really like pocket springs and they perform really well with this sort of combination creating a cooling experience that keeps you at the right temperature all night long. 

The Arctic 800 mattress is an excellent choice for those looking for a premium mattress. With its ActiGel® foam and ActiCool® knitted cover combined with a pocket spring base layer all bind well. What's more, the Arctic 800 is available in a medium tension that will be ideal for side and back sleepers alike.

Reviews for the Arctic 800 are still coming in, being such a new mattress we may have to wait some time for long term reviews to begin to kick in but, thanks to familiarity with the brand and components, I have no doubt this mattress will join others in the range by being a huge success.

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.
  • 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.

  • 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
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★

Used the Sleep Match machine which recomended this type of mattress and then the staff showed me this one in my price range. The cool gel layer is great for hot sleepers, supportive as well as soft and comfortable! This was my first double mattress purchase and the amount of choice and range of prices was quite overwhelming. But with the help of the staff at Dreams i am very happy with this purchase!

From entering the shop, I was guided through what I wanted. I have a shoulder injury so needed a specialised mattress. I also wanted a metal bedstead. I was happy to try out the dream machine which analyzed my sleeping position and suggested a suitable mattress. I was also offered other mattresses to try nut I went for the one recommended by the dream machine.

I purchased this mattress from dreams and I am still in my 30 to 40 day comfort period. Unfortunately our first bed was ripped on arrival so dreams organised a bed exchange for us. Or second attempt mattress arrived yesterday. The mattress from dreams is a lot better than our last one but we still need to adjust to the new bed.

I bought this mattress and was expecting it to have a mattress cover, does it not come with one?

Answer: The product description references the 'luxurious quilted cover', which is the outer layer of the mattress. If you purchased the bed cover plan then it should come with a free mattress protector.
