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.

Why you can trust WantMattress We spend hours testing (and/or researching) every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. Find out more about how we test.

Here's how the product performs based on the materials and composition when compared to other products of similar price point. These measurements are produced using a combination of specification-heavy algorithmic data points and our own hands on experience.

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

  • 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
    ★★★★★

Firstly, I cannot fault the help and assistance provided at the showroom. I tested a whole list of mattresses. I settled on this one due to its cooling properties and softness. Although the high tech machine recommended a medium mattress I have been used to a very soft mattress. This one is medium but feels soft until you lie on it. Every morning I wake up with lower back pain and stiff legs. When I sit on the edge of the bed I slide off. Also you cannot sleep near the edge making the mattress feel like a double rather than a king size. It is an expensive mattress for the quality. The softer mattresses are much pricier and I will have to pay to swap. So all in all I am extremely disappointed. There are plenty of good quality mattresses at much cheaper prices on the market that provide edge to edge support and pillow top but as I cannot get a refund I will have to buy a very expensive mattress to get anywhere near that. I wont make that mistake again.

We knew we needed a new mattress when we went on holiday & slept better there than we did at home! Within days of coming home we decided a trip to Dreams was in order & we were so glad we went. The service & advice was second to none & after trying out the in-store Sleepmaster system we decided a king-size medium firmness was best for us. It's surprising how you just know when you lie on a mattress how it's likely to suit you. Felt a bit like Goldilocks keep saying some didn't feel comfortable even though we knew the quality was good! Then if I found one that suited me then it didn't suit my husband. Was bliss when we both tried the TheraPur ActiGel & both thought it was just perfect. I have to say it was a refreshing change to have sales people who were helpful & knowledgeable about the products but weren't pushy. From bed testing to ordering to delivery the whole process was spot on.

This is the most comfortable mattress for daily use. My sleep has significantly improved. I fall asleep faster because of how comfortable this is. I actually struggle to get out of bed now as the mattress is so comfortable. It is perfect for me. The price for this amazing quality was so affordable and worth it that I will only buy mattresses from dreams. The service is outstanding as the staff are so helpful and quickly and carefully placed the mattress in my desired bedroom despite this being up a flight of stairs. I recommend this mattress for anyone who like the feel to feel like theyre sleeping On a bouncy castle. The springs are not irritating at all as this has a complete flat surface which I was looking for

Visited Dreams Clydebank store, very helpful and informative staff, after trying out their Sleepmatch system I purchased a Therapur Acti/Gel mattress, unfortunately Dreams don't deliver to my area, this I knew as I had purchased a bed from them previously. Delivery was agreed to a second property, on the date and within the allotted time frame. Delivery guys were great, polite and considerate, had to carry the mattress up 3 flights of stairs and were concerned when I asked them to place it on top of a bed which had a white bedspread on it in case it got dirty from the polythene wrapping. The mattress is of excellent quality and so comfortable, sleeping like a baby, wish i had bought it sooner.

Bought this mattress after visiting our local store. Customer service in stored outstanding along with main customer service centre when I needed to contact them. The mattress arrived on Friday 7th August excellent delivery and communication throughout although by Sunday night we noticed a fair size dip on the one side of the mattress with the lying underneath bunching up causing a ridge. Took photos, rang customer service and emailed them through. Return call to say replacement in place with pick up and delivery details. Can't fault the staff just disappointed however fingers crossed it's a fault that won't happen with the replacement.

Therapur does it again! Having been well served by this brand in the past, I knew exactly what to do when I was suffering from terrible insomnia. In the two weeks that I have been in possession of this lovely mattress, I am sleeping for longer. Sleep comes naturally to me even in this short space of time, and my temperature is much better regulated. In fact, I am dreading going back to work next week as I have become accustomed to sneaky afternoon naps. Its too tempting! As someone who has suffered from chronic insomnia for years, I am stunned at the rapid improvement in sleep quality. 2020 is finally good for something!

Had this mattress a week now and absolutely love it. I did initially try the Arctic 800 in a medium support but changed to the Arctic 1600 firm support. This was a little extra cost but well worth it! The 1600 has more springs and an extra top layer which gives excellent support, no rolling or dippingthe gel layer keeps you cool & gently shapes to the body without that heavy sinking feeling you get with memory foam. Overall really thrilled with the excellent construction & great quality of this mattress!

We bought this mattress when buying a new bed. We weren't sure about the whole thing matching thing in the store but went along with it anyway. Have to say this mattress is just perfect. I have had lower back problems, particularly on my left side for years and I can honestly say its so much better since sleeping on this. I can't say, like many others that I have slept soundly every night, but that's not because of mattress..thats just me! Husband very happy also that its been money well spent

We used the machine in store to find out what type of mattress we should buy and it recommended "firm" which didn't surprise us. However, after trying all of the firm mattresses we couldn't find one we both liked so out of curiousity decided to try a few mediums. As soon as we tried this one we knew it was the right one and actually feels firmer than some of the firm ones we tried. It did take my back a week or two to get used to this mattress but we persevered with it and now it's perfect.

Both my wife and I were convinced that we liked different firmness of mattresses, after having used the Dreams mattress machine, we found that we liked the same mattress. This turned out to be the TheraPur ActiGel Arctic 800 Mattress, despite my view of more pocket springs the better. This mattress has proven to be the right choice for us both, it is very comfortable and keeps you cool, we find it much better than the Simba mattress we had, as this lost shape after 18 months.

We used to get up in the morning with lower back pain and so we went to Dreams store to find a perfect suitable mattress. After we saw the Sleepmatch statistics we understood that we are using a wrong firm mattress and so the back pain. The TheraPur Actigel Arctic 800 Mattress is awesome. We are now getting up with no back pain in the morning, the mattress is well designed, it is helping for a good night sleep. I recommend Dreams and their Sleepmatch recommendation.

We bought it during Christmas time and been so anxious for we might end up buying a wrong matrress, but we re was so glad that I did choose this Theraputic Actigel Harmonic 800 mattress, for the the relaxing comfort it provide even at first use, you can easily roll from one side to side without compromising your partner no movement can be felt. and most of all it mintaines the temperature after all nigth use and it seems that a mattress has its own climate control.

Comfortable mattress. Wanted as close to our previous. The mattress isnt too deep so makes getting in and out of bed good compared to very deep mattresses. Only negative is that it doesnt seam to have the support of the edges compared to our old dreams mattress which means we have had to catch ourselves from falling out of bed on a few occasions. If you roll over in the night and get too close to the edge the whole mattress gives way underneath you.

Mattress is extremely comfortable, the sales woman in the shop was very helpful and helped us pick the best fit for us. Weve now had it for a couple of nights and have never slept so well! Delivery was quick (less than a week!) and the delivery men were polite, and very helpful. We paid to have our old mattress taken away for recycling which was well worth the money. We would 100% purchase from Dreams again. The whole experience has been flawless.

I bought this mattress after trying the Sleepmatch machine in the store. My wife has neck and upper back problems relating to her spine. The old mattress did not do her back any favours and she always woke up feeling stiff. After sleeping for three weeks on the new mattress her neck and back issues, whilst still being evident, are no longer harsh. The stiffness in the morning is not as severe. I should have replaced the old mattress sooner .

Great at regulating body temp. I have bought three of these as had to replace old mattresses. They are on the more expensive side, but spending 7+ hours in bed everyday, I think spend what you can afford - they are worth every penny. Friends and family love staying because the beds are so comfyhopefully love staying to see me too :-) Delivery team was outstanding with communication and delivery of product to the bedroom.

Myself and my wife have been very pleased with this mattress and are both having a much better quality of sleep. Previously, my wife would wake in the early hours of the morning and not be able to go back to sleep. Since the first night with this mattress, although she still wakes up, she has no problem getting back to sleep and staying asleep until the alarm goes off. I wish we had changed our mattress a lot sooner.

This mattress is classed as medium but its firmer than another medium we bought at the same time. The gel/foam topper is lovely and adds a little extra squidge to the bed whilst still supporting us perfectly.I have noticed the bed holds more warmth than a normal sprung mattress but not as warm as a full memory foam. Its a good combination. I dont want to get up in the morning. Great mattress at a good price!

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!

Wonderful mattress. A little harder than I thought it would be. Past mattresses we've had we've always ended up rolling into the centre, but this one we havent experienced that. Seems sturdy and well built. Husband seems to be a little cooler (hes always hot no matter the weather) so he seems to sleep quicker and more comfier. I usually suffer with joint pains but so far, no complaints or issues.

Great new mattress. Really pleased with it. Had had previous mattress for far too long. It's such a big pur hase, not just finanncially but becuase you spend so much time lying on it... it has to be right! Cameron in the Castle marina branch, spent a lot of time with us and let us try out so many different ones best-fitting it to what we needed and what we could afford. Really pleased with it.

I love my new mattress. It is so comfortable I dont want to get out of bed! I suffer from lower back pain and lying in bed used to make the pain worse. I could never get a comfortable postion to sleep in and I would wake up throughout the night to change position. I now sleep throughout the night without any pain or discomfort. This was a great purchase and I wish I had done it sooner!

I can honestly say that this mattress has changed my life. Always in incredible pain when I woke up on my old mattress. I bought this one because it is supportive but fairly soft. Absolutely brilliant for pressure points. I have chronic arthritis in my joints and couldnt move around very well. This morning,I went out and mowed the lawn. Well worth the money,and I highly recommend.

I bought this almost a month ago to replace the terrible mattress in my furnished apartment. It was delivered very promptly and feels much better so that I can finally rest at night. Good balance between soft and firm for me, you sink in a bit, but not too much. Cannot be flipped due to the gel, but you can swap head and foot end. Finally restful nights again for me, recommended!

My 11 year old son didnt like his current mattress which was only 12 months old as it gave him backache. So we went in store to try out some new mattresses - he asked for 3 things it needed to have : 1) Be Comfy 2) Stay Cool (as he hates being hot) and 3) Be Bouncy (ie not too firm). This mattress has all these 3 things and he absolutely loves it - he couldnt be happier with it!

I was also offered other mattresses to try nut I went for the one recommended by the dream machine.

I initially bought a Simba hybrid mattress based on online reviews and had to return it due to being too hot and too hard. This mattress is very comfortable, not too hard or too soft and feels like Im sleeping on a hotel mattress in terms of comfort. It is also far colder than a hybrid or memory foam mattress: very satisfied.

The bed came on time, at the correct price and with a team who were happy to help describe how to put it together. We opted to make the bed up ourselves which was relatively simple to do but would advise that you have a drill available (which isn't mentioned in the instructions). Overall great purchase and would come again.

Have had this for 2 weeks now and it's so comfortable, I am so happy we went with this mattress. I am a side sleeper and often stay on one side only for majority of the night, which means that usually in the morning whichever side I slept on is achy. So far with this mattress, that hasn't happened, which is great!

I bought this mattress just over a month ago, I thought my old mattress was comfortable just old but I havent had any restless nights, backache or hip pain with this mattress.

Great experience of choosing and purchasing the mattress in Dreams. This mattress is a "medium" rather than the usual "firm" that I've had before. The edges of the mattress don't have much support, so this might be an issue for people getting in and out of bed or when sitting on the side of the bed.

We brought this mattress for our teenage son. He loves the cool feel, which he says helps with his eczema, as it helps to keep him cool at night. (But I must stress this is not my medical advise but merely our experience). We are already considering the same mattress for us. So would reccomend it.

We were really in need of a new mattress so we went testing mattress in store. Loved this one as it was just soft enough and right, especially if you suffer slight back problems. Couldn't be more happy. Ofcourse your mattress arrives fairly harder than store version, bit soon softens up.

Amazing mattress with great support, incredibly comfortable. Wasn't sure how much of a difference the ActiGel would make but it does have a pleasant 'coolness' to it (without being cold). No more feeling hot and stuffy under the covers! Overall it's just a better night's sleep.

Very easy to control, instructions are clear and the mechanics are unobtrusive and silent. Easy to find a comfortable position and the selection of a suitable mattress to accompany the adjustable bed was handled very professionally by the in-store staff. An excellent product.

I had tossed up for a long time whether to spend such money on a mattress, but decided to go ahead. Yes, it is not cheap, but if it gives a good nights sleep it would be worth it. Conclusion: worth every penny, I have never had such a good nights sleep since I bought it!

We treated ourselves to a mattress after 8 years of 1000 pocket springs. We tried this one in the shop and it was very comfortable. One back sleeper and one side sleeper meant we were destined for a combination mattress. This did not disappoint and I highly recommend it.

Comfortable medium mattress for a light person (I found firm mattresses too hard as I didn't sink into them at all). My partner gets hot at night & noticed the "cooling" effect of the mattress. If you get hot - go for this mattress over memory foam as it is much better.

Medium firmness, comfortable, offers plenty of support, cool to the touch and perfect for a great nights sleep. I havent looked back since buying. It holds its shape well and easy to move about on, which is perfect for someone like me who tosses and turns quite a lot.

We should have been surprised that the special process ended by recommending a mattress which was a newer version of the one we were replacing. The finishing of the upper side is more to our liking, and it is really comfortable. All that scanning and measuring worked.

I decided to get the best mattress I could afford to buy and this one is perfect! Very supportive and comfortable! I was concerned that having a memory foam gel in the mattress would make me hot or even sweaty at night but it doesn't at all. Very satisfied customer!

Lovely mattress and super reasonable price. Only note is that it sinks a little round the sides. Not an issue for us as we brought a super king but if getting smaller could be annoying. The staff member in the shop pointed this out when we purchased it too.
