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.

Hypoallergenic mattresses are absolutely critical for those who suffer from allergies and require a little bit extra care in their sleep routine. Onto the Gel top layer and it's an ideal choice for those looking for much of the benefits of memory foam with non of the downsides around getting too hot and restricted at night.

With a premium product comes a premium price, this mattress is rarely reduced as the cost of it's components is higher than other mattresses in the lineup. That said, the average mattress lasts around 7 years which makes the cost of this mattress per night of sleep surprisingly reasonable.

The first one I had was for a double bed which I still have but have had for over 10 years, we upgraded to a king size. Very comfortable, Brilliant back support. Overall extremely happy from start to finish. Delivered with excellent care too. X

I have to say, Im not sure if the cool touch thing works but nevertheless, this is the softest and most comfy mattress Ive ever had. I feel like I wake up enveloped in a hug every morning. Its very hard to leave bed in the morning. Service from Dreams has been amazing. Delivery guys were expert and turned up earlier than delivery slot.

Such a comfy mattress. Love the gel layer which stops me overheating. Make sure you follow the guidance for rotating the mattress to maintain its shape. Really comfy...not lots of movement which is great...stops me disturbing other half when I get up in the night!

This mattress is just perfect, I used to sleep on my side all the time but its be a waste not to sleep on your back with this. It properly supports your body while not compromising on comfort, truely like having a hotel bed in your own home.

Is this mattress recommended for side sleepers?

I have a therapur mattress. The bottom sheet slides off the mattress protector. You then advised a Tempur protector which I bought but it says that its waterproof. If its waterproof, how does that affect the cooling gel and moisture dispersal system?
