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.

Testing Team Takeaways

To test the TheraPur ActiGel® Glacier 1800 Combination Mattress we have people from our testing team take a closer look at the mattress and form their own opinions. Below is their observations.

Katie Edwards

Research Writer

Being a back sleeper, I was initially intrigued by the TheraPur ActiGel® Glacier 1600 Mattress. The firm comfort grade seemed promising, as it's generally recommended for those who sleep on their backs. The mattress's exclusive ActiGel zoned and profiled foam caught my attention, promising both comfort and support. The cooling properties of the mattress were also appealing, as I tend to sleep hot.

Upon trying the mattress, I found the firmness to be quite suitable for my back sleeping position. The pocket springs provided a good level of support, and I didn't feel any discomfort or pressure points. The ActiGel foam was indeed comfortable, and I appreciated the cooling effect it had. However, I did notice that the mattress was a bit firmer than I expected. This wasn't necessarily a negative point, but something to keep in mind for those who prefer a softer feel. The soft touch knitted cover was a nice touch, adding to the overall comfort of the mattress. Despite the firmness, I found that the mattress provided a good night's sleep and I woke up feeling refreshed and without any aches or pains. The hypoallergenic properties of the mattress were also a plus, as I have sensitive skin. Overall, I was quite pleased with the TheraPur ActiGel® Glacier 1600 Mattress and would recommend it to other back sleepers.

I recently took my 79yr Dad to Cheltenham Dreams to buy his first brand new bed. He did know he wanted a very firm mattress but apart from that he didnt have a idea of what was a good bed to buy. Thank goodness for Aaron. He was fantastic & took a long time showing my Dad all the different beds & firm mattresses. He showed Dad all the beds, which included Dreams beds, or other more expensive ones. Aaron put us under no pressure whatsoever to buy from Dreams or to purchase the more expensive bed. He described the differences in the beds very well & clear. Aaron made the whole experience seemless & due to Aaron's professionalism & outstanding advice Dad chose Dreams to purchase his new bed from. He's extremely happy with his purchase & was very impressed how quickly the two delivery drivers got his bed put together & ready to use. We'd definitely recommend to friends.

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.

What Makes The TheraPur ActiGel® Glacier 1800 Combination Mattress Great?

We've expanded on the specifications of the product to better help you understand it's benefits.

Fully hypoallergenic finish

The presence of a fully hypoallergenic finish ensures relief from potential irritations or allergies—a bonus for individuals who might find themselves susceptible to such reactions. Furthermore, this trait bears an implication: by warding off allergens, the mattress effectively encourages a healthier, cleaner sleeping environment, contributing to better overall well-being.

Quilted and layered with cooling ActiGel® foam

The introduction of a quilting technique, incorporating advanced ActiGel® foam, promises improved breathability and temperature regulation during sleep hours. This considered design allows for enhanced comfort, making every sleep experience feel luxuriously refreshing, while also ensuring the longevity of the product due to its robust structure.

Rest easy with a 10-year guarantee

A 10 year guarantee/warranty goes far beyond industry norms and gives additional confidence in the product. Industry standards typically see the mandatory minimum 1 year being the most common with 5 year being rarer and 10 years being particularly uncommon, especially since the average mattress is replaced after 7 years.

Bouncy PurFibre® for comfort and support

The inclusion of Bouncy PurFibre® presents well-balanced stability and softness, facilitating optimal rest by evenly distributing body weight. This innovative component alleviates pressure points, offering profound orthopaedic benefits while promoting a cool, refreshing sleep environment.

Knitted ActiCool® cover is instantly cooling

Being shrouded with an ActiCool® cover, one can anticipate a refreshing sleep experience. Especially in those warmer months, the cooling attribute of this cover plays a pivotal role, making it a practical choice for individuals prone to night-time overheating.

Single-sided

Single sided means only one side is comfy. Positives are you only need to rotate the mattress occassionaly rather than the more cumbersome rotate and flip. Downside is the lifespan of the product may suffer as a result, only marginal, but worth mentioning.

Comes with our 100-Night Comfort Guarantee

This can provide some peace of mind to the consumer, as it allows them to test the mattress in the comfort of their own home and make sure it's the right fit for their sleeping preferences and needs.

Made in the UK

These are made and manufactured in the UK, meaning that they all meet the same exceptional quality and durability that we expect from genuine UK manufacturing.
