Why our sleep experts loved it

The TheraPur Polar ActiGel® 800 is a luxuriously soft and supportive mattress that helps you get the best out of every single night thanks to its use of modern technologies and a great utilisation of deep and luxurious ActiGel foam.

Its innovative pressure-relieving design helps to relieve pressure from your joints and muscles, promoting deep, restful sleep. This mattress is made from a proprietary blend of premium-grade materials and features high-quality, pocketed springs to help you stay comfortable.

The bed is coated with an ActiCool® knitted cover and helps promote additional airflow, creating a great all-season mattress that will keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. The result actually works particularly well and the gel pairing works with the pocket springs to increase breathability further.

The TheraPur Polar ActiGel® 800 is the perfect choice for you if you want a mattress that's loaded with features, but that still maintains its comfort at a reasonable price point.

This mattress combines the cushioning and comfort of memory foam mattress but with the breathable properties of gel resulting in  pressure-relieving properties in a durable bed that will give your body the support and comfort it needs, while delivering zoned, targeted pressure relief for maximum health benefits and a more restful sleep experience.

The ActiGel® Polar 800 is a medium tension which is suitable for most people of average build and will prove suitable for both side and back sleepers alike making it a great mattress for almost everyone.

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.

This was an upgrade from a cheap online mattress bought over a year ago that became very lumpy very quickly. I did the sleep analysis bed in store and this was one of the mattress recommended to me by the programme. I tried out several but this really seemed to feel 'right' to me, the top cool foam is soft and cushioning whilst the underlying sprung mattress is firm, a really comfortable combination. There are no tufts (that I can feel) so nothing to dig in. The foam moulds around you, supporting every part of you so that weight is evenly distributed, but unlike previous memory foam mattresses I've had it isn't too hot or sticky! I ended up spending more than I wanted to on a mattress, but it has been worth every penny, I no longer wake up constantly in the night and am getting a much deeper and less interrupted night's sleep. Absolutely worth the expense!

I searched for weeks in different shops looking for a bed that would, suit my needs and give me a good nights sleep. O have a back problem and a lung disease which causes me to have difficult nights, I'm restless and can never get comfortable at night to sleep. I finally found the one, the one bed that had not only given me the ability to feel relaxed and comfortable but i SLEEP. This is a big deal to me ,as i can sometimes go several night without any. The bed mattress exterior in a lovely soft light padding, and although the mattress is class as soft its still firm enough, that it allows my spine the correct position. I feel the mattress almost cuddles me up as i sink in to it . I also got it at a slightly reduced price in the sale. Thank you Dreams so much.

Having had this mattress for a few weeks, I can now give an honest review. We went to Dreams and had a mattress fitting. I was somewhat sceptical about the whole process, but we were given a list of about 4 mattresses to try. All seemed comfortable enough, my wife favoured one and I preferred a different one. Obviously, we went with the one she liked! This has proven to be a great decision, our new mattress is probably the most comfortable Ive ever slept on. Delivery was perfect, all to schedule and the delivery guys were efficient and took care to avoid getting any dirt in the house. Id definitely recommend the mattress as well as the whole service we had from Dreams

We bought this a couple of weeks ago and have been pleasantly surprised at how comfortable it is! When in the shop we were taken through to use the sleep match scanning machine where, although it felt a bit strange, the sales lady was very good at explaining what would happen. She was very knowledgable and not pushy salesperson. Once we made our choice payment and delivery were dealt with professionally. Delivery times were given promptly and reminder sent a couple of days previous to delivery. Furthermore a call was given to advise approximate time of delivery on the day. The mattress is very comfortable and keeps a cool temperature due to the gel in it. It is perfect for us.

We went in the store to 'look' around. Tried the sleep thing with some gentle (not at all pushy) help from staff and then tried out three options, we felt no pressure to buy and not in the slightest silly considering we were trying different mattresses out. When we settled on this one I was fairly nervous as I have hip problems that can be exacerbated by mattresses that are too soft or firm but we've had this mattress a month now and I've been sleeping better than ever before! Perfect amount of support while still feeling cozy and cuddly. I would recommend it to anyone because the price compared to some of the others in store makes it an absolute steal!

We tested it out in store and were really impressed. The price was around 800 ish and believe me when I say it was worth every penny. The guy we dealt with in store was incredibly helpful! The first night sleeping on it was the best nights sleep wed had in months. Its a medium mattress and sort of moulds to you whilst you sleep but still supports you. My feller is recovering from a serious leg break (pins and everything - bionic man). Which really was what forced us into getting a new mattress in the first place. He reckons its nice not having Random springs poking him in the incision sites.. cant imagine why lol!

This mattress was delivered 2 weeks ago to replace a new one recently bought from elsewhere. This is a lovely mattress, soft but supportive, firm but not hard, everything we looked for. Some softer mattresses almost give way when you lie on them or sit on the side - not this one. But at the same time it is not firm or hard - we specifically avoided those mattresses. All in all it gives a great night's sleep. Perhaps because of the 'actigel' the mattress did give off a smell for over a week. It has now worn off and we were reassured by Dreams that the smell was not harmful. We're glad we stuck with it.

We attended the Hull branch of Dreams to purchase a mattress. We found the staff friendly and approachable, especially Dan who helped us use the sleep match to find the most comfortable mattress. The store was covid safe and we found the shopping experience to be relaxed and easy. The purchase of the mattress was straightforward, we ordered from Dan by telephoning the next day and the confirmation and delivery were exactly as promised. The delivery team took away our old mattress and were polite and on time. I would definitely recommend Dreams Hull Store and will not hesitate to shop there in the future.

We spent a little more than we wanted to but that's probably not unusual ..... we were treated to the sleep diagnostic experience and this was one of the possibles suggested as a result. Decided to take the plunge as sore bits'n'pieces on waking was starting to take it's toll. Thus far (two weeks in) we are pleasantly surprised at the difference its made to our sleeping .... the cool surface is lovely and achey joints don't seem so troublesome. Slightly early maybe, to claim total success but well on the way we think .... hopefully the extra will be worth it in the long run.

After years of disturbed sleep, fatigue and frequent lower back and hip pain, I have enjoyed sleeping around 6 hours continuously and woken up to comfort in my hips and back. Over the last few years, I have bought 2 other mattresses and got no relief whatsoever. At Dreams, my wife and I used the mattress tester, and as a result, bought the Therapur ActiGel mattress. The improvement in my sleep and wellbeing has been almost miraculous. I would recommend this mattress to anyone, but particularly to those encountering sleep and/or lower back problems. Worth every penny and more.

We bought our new mattress in December 2019 and thought we would be having it delivered to our new house, however that did not go to plan. Our mattress arrived a couple of weeks ago and we are very pleased with it. It is very comfortable and great quality. The service from Dreams has been excellent what with all the issues we have had with trying to get our mattress delivered to the right place. They allowed us to repeatedly delay delivery until we knew what was happening with our house and were very understanding of the situation. Would highly recommend them as a company

Weve had our new frame and mattress for almost 2 weeks now and what a difference it has made to our quality of sleep! I used to wake up with a few odd aches and pains and I thought it was due to the way I was sleeping. Eventually we decided to try a new mattress from Dreams and it has completely changed everything - Im now waking up feeling extra fresh and well-rested and its down to the support and comfort provided to me by our Dreams mattress. Also helps when the mattress is so reasonably priced, but you cannot put a price on a quality nights sleep. Thanks again!

I spent alot of time choosing this mattress. I suffer with night sweats and often wake in the night alot so the actigel feature was really important. Unfortunately I don't feel it's worth the month spent. Not only do I seem to be sweating more than my previous mattress for some reason all of my double fitted sheets do not fit the mattress. I raised this issue with customer services and was told it's clearly my sheets and not the mattress which is ridiculous... I should have just listened to other people and bought a mattress cheaper and saved my money!

Ordered this mattress four weeks ago, was happy it arrived seven days later as our old mattress was broken and needed urgent replacing. The mattress is firm at first and took some getting used to, but now find it comfortable three weeks on. It is very thick, and a snug fit on our bed despite being the correct measurements for a standard double. I like this as it means the cover doesn't slip off in the night! It arrived in the midst of the heatwave and is actually cooler than our previous mattress thanks to the gel layer as advertised.

We've had our mattress for over a fortnight now. We decided to purchase a new one because as my pregnancy progressed, my hips and back were causing me real discomfort during the night and I'd spend hours tossing and turning. We visited Dreams and used the machine to decide which mattress type would be best for us and we decided on this one. It's extremely comfortable and my back ache has improved massively. I'm getting far more sleep of a night which will be priceless in the next coming weeks (before baby arrives and interrupts!)

We have only had the mattress for coming on 2 weeks, but we are loving it, getting a great nights sleep, we were advised to turn it around so it gets an all over use and keeps it level, we have noticed it has risen at the bottom end. The staff at the Barnstaple store were great very helpful, Sophie who dealt with us was very knowledgeable, and couldnt do enough to help us make up our minds about the type of mattress which would be best for our way of sleeping. Would recommend to friends and family

I recently bought one of those mattresses from the tv but had to return it. It caused my back and hip pains to get worse. I spoke to a dreams advisor and ordered a mattress through them. The mattress is softer and I no longer wake through the night with pains in my hip and back. I am very pleased with it. i didnt realise that your weight also has an impact on whether a mattress is suitable for you. Memory foam wasn't good for me. I didnt sink into it at all. But this gel mattress is much better.

My husband and I bought the TheraPur Actigel Rejuvenate 800 mattress due to our ongoing health problems. My husband has back problems and I have hip arthritis which results in frequent sleepless nights for us both. After only a day or two I have found getting to sleep easier as the mattress is just right for me. We both find that this purchase has been a positive one for us. It was helpful to be able to try out the mattress in the showroom too. I feel we made a good choice with this one.

I bought this 4 weeks ago and wish I had bought it a lot earlier. I have arthritis and hadn't had a good nights sleep for a long time. Constantly waking up through the night in pain and feeling hot. The effects of disturbed sleeping were making me feel tired and miserable. It took a few nights to get used to this mattress, but within the first week my quality of sleep improved. Now I am getting undisturbed sleep and feels so much better. Highly recommended this mattress.

My last couple of mattresses have been memory foam ones because previous sprung ones felt uncomfortable. This mattress, however feels like sleeping on a cloud. I have arthritic knees and my previous mattress didnt seem to have enough support. This one is firm enough for support and has a soft and cosy feel. Love it! Not too expensive when you consider the cost of memory foam ones which didnt last very long! Plus worth every penny when you consider how much time we spend in bed!

I bought this mattress as I was experiencing sore hips from my current mattress albeit not that old. Brilliant purchase for me, so comfortable, yet to experience the 'cooling gel surface' in the summer months. So far very pleased with the TheraPur ActiGel Polar mattress. Staff in Carmarthen store very friendly and helpful and the delivery date I was kept well informed, on time and guys were happy to take the mattress up the stairwell. First class service thank you.

After years of using the same old mattress, I decided it was time to purchase a brand new one. From choosing, purchasing to delivery the whole process was quick and easy. As to the mattress itself, Ive never had a better night sleep. compared to a typical spring mattress (like I had before) the combination mattress. Was like sleeping on a pillow air. It formed to by body shape quite quickly. And with its gel layer it provided a cool sleep, even on the hottest nights.

The most comfortable mattress i have ever slept on,... If your significant other is actually a human hot water bottle and you enjoy the cool side of the pillow then this is the mattress for you, Disclaimer: If you actually have to get up in the morning and go about your business then i wouldn't recommend it as it is far too comfortable and before you know it you have slept through all of your alarms and might as well go back to bed and wait for tomorrow to try again.

We went into the Dreams store to get SleepMatch-ed as we had no idea where to start with mattress shopping! The technology was brilliant! As we just laid on it, it gave us a list of mattresses to test that would best fit the way we sleep/our weight distribution etc. We had a bit of an idea on what we wanted to spend and TheraPur 800 matched that exactly. 2 weeks on and it's so comfortable - no dipping, the gel is cooling and my back doesn't twinge anymore (I'm 25!!!!).

It's easy to lie on a bed in a shop for 2 minutes and declare it's much comfier than your old one but its another thing to actually have it as your bed and use it every night. We've had our new mattress for a couple of weeks now and after a night or two of getting used to it, we're both really really happy with our purchase. It's very comfy, very stable (no waking each other up in the night) and we've both had great sleep. Really happy we went for this mattress!

I bought this about six weeks ago, my previous mattress must have been over 10 years old and frankly in a sorry state. Ive been impressed with the new mattresses ability to hold shape and more by the cooling material, it feels a bit like excess heat is wicked away - which is great for me as Ill usually have the window open throughout the year. There is no comparison, they are light years apart well worth it, especially if your mattress is old and knackered.

I bought this mattress because I wanted a fairly hard mattress but one that still felt comfortable. I have to say it took me about a week to adjust to the difference from my previous mattress but now it is the comfiest bed and I sleep so well in it. My husband feels exactly the same. Such a relief as its always a worry when youre spending a decent amount of money on something like this that you wont be satisfied, but it was worth every penny!

I am glad to say that I have achieved both of those objectives and my sleep is much deeper than it used to be before. This mattress is worth the price because sleep quality is a long term investment and is a part of your physical and mental health.

I bought this bed a couple weeks ago and I haven't slept this well in a long time. A medium firmness still feels fairly firm while supporting every part of me to a point where I barely move in the night now and I wake up every morning refreshed and ache free. One issue I used to have was feeling my partner getting in and out of bed for work but since having this mattress I have no idea when he gets into bed and when he gets out.

This is a top-quality mattress from Dreams, made by Dreams. We tried a Tempur first, then a Silent Night, but neither gave us a good nights sleep. Then we bought Dreams own medium firmness mattress and it has changed our lives. We wake up free of hip and back pain, feeling rested and ready for the new day. Its so comfortable and so good we bought a second one for our downstairs bedroom. We completely recommend this product.

After suffering five years of boiling nights on an expensive memory foam mattress and then suffering from a bad back due to the memory foam losing its shape this mattress was heaven sent. I'm quite a thin, bony person and I was worried that this mattress would be too hard and uncomfortable even though it's described as Medium - it isn't, it's perfect. The extra benefit is that it stays cool. Sleep has now become a pleasure.

I bought this mattress a couple of weeks ago following moving house and our mattress getting broken. We used the in store tool which you laid on and told you which mattresses were suited to your needs. This mattress is actually comfier than our last especially for laying on your front. The only thing I regret is not measuring the mattress depth as it is smaller than our last so does not look as nice on our bed.

We had a great experience at Dreams. We were able to test a number of mattresses as recommended by the fitting process. This mattress was a great balance between soft comfort and overall body support. It feels like your floating on the top and gives great even support no matter which position you are resting. It is cool in hot weather too. Love it!

Incredible mattress - Ive never slept so well. The mattress is slightly more on the firm side, providing great support, but the top gel layer provides such a comfortable feel.

Since I have been using the mattress I have had no hip pain which is fabulous as the pain & discomfort I used to suffer would wake me up several times in the night. I haven't slept so well for years.

Bought this matress after moving into my new home. Better than sleeping on a cheap temporary single matress and significantly better than matresses I've owned previously. No longer seem to be suffering with as many back aches and pains since getting this matress which is a bonus. It's very comfortable and so far, seems built to last.

We bought this mattress 3 weeks ago on finance and it's been great. Delivery was on time, setting up our account on finance was easy and the mattress itself is wonderful. My husband gets hot at night and it keeps him cool, but I get cold very quickly and rather than make me cold it helps regulate my body temperature! I love it!

The TheraPur ActiGel Rejuvenate 800 is comfortable and supportive. My partner and I (late 30s) used the Dreams Sleep Match service and this was one of the recommended mattresses for us. We tried them all out and found this to be the most comfortable. Been using it for around 2 weeks and have no concerns. Very happy with purchase.

I am in love with this matress!. First nights sleep and I slept like a dream. At first you feel the lovely cool sensation from the gel and then it warms up to your body making it really cosy!. I believe In the summer time it keeps you cool also. Very happy with my purchase and would recommend this mattress to friends and family.

We bought this mattress a few weeks ago having previously had a Therapur memory foam one. Unfortunately I have a back problem and this mattress exacerbated the problem. It is a well made, nice mattress and Im sure would suit other people. Personally I would now not have a pocket sprung mattress instead of a memory foam one.

I bought this mattress because of the cooling feature since I get hot sweats at night. So far I think it is better, I still get hot sweats but the mattress does seem to help my body temperature cool down. I also notice when my partner moves in bed I dont move, so actually when she turns it doesnt wake me up. So far so good!

We purchased a new Therapur ActiGel Rejuvenate 800 mattress from Dreams in Worcester. We are extremely happy with our purchase as the mattress ticks all the boxes for us. Plenty of support/comfort and the neck pain I was getting before has gone, this is after only having the mattress a couple of weeks. Very happy customers.

I bought this a month ago and should have been suspicious when our sales assistant threw in a cooling mattress protector. It is a comfy mattress and definitely an improvement on the all foam one it replaced. But the top layer of memory foam makes it very warm - to the point that I struggle to keep a thin summer duvet on.

A good medium firm matress with ample support and the right amount of give for me. It is breathable and has a nice memory foam layer as well as being sprung. The only thing I would complain about is the smell of it at first is a bit too plasticy. Also had I waited a few weeks this would have been available on discount.

It was a choice of this and a slightly more expensive Tempur mattress. My brother has the Tempur version in his guest room which I have had slept on numerous times and as good as it is I dont think it beats the Rejuvenate 800. It was 400 less then the Tempur but personal I think its a better matter, time will tell.

I didnt realise how bad my previous mattress was until going into Dreams and chatting to the lovely staff. Weve had this for two weeks now and Ive found Im not tossing and turning as much in bed, trying to get into a comfortable position.

I bought this mattress in store a few months ago. It was recommended for the actigel cooling properties. I have a skin condition and I scratch my hands if I overheat at night. This mattress has kept me nice and cool and prevented me from scratching. It is also very comfortable. I would highly recommend it.

My new mattress is lovely and so comfortable. It is described as medium firmness, but it has the softer top layer which is just right for me. Only drawback is a lingering musty smell still there after 2 weeks use. I am removing the bedding every day to air, hope it will disappear soon.

Check the bed base that you have at home as we tested in store and purchased as the mattress felt soft enough for us but once home and on our bed it felt alot firmer as we have a slatted base! We were not advised about this and it really does feel quite different.

You can find more information on this online, alternatively you can give the customer service team a call and they can talk you through it.

What is the difference between this and the Polar actigel 800 please?

Answer: The polar 800 is a new model for 2022 and helps promote comfort through innovative purFibre layers which ensures your mattress has excellent recovery and rebound properties and has also been further optimised with regards to its cooling tendencies. Both have pocked springs and actigel foam. Thanks, Dreams.

I am confused about the guarantee on the TheraPur ActiGel Polar 800 Mattress. In the Overview it says "Rest easy with a 10-year guarantee" but we were told in store that it was only 1 year and so we bought the Extended Bed Cover.

Answer: We have recently updated the guarantee information on the TheraPur mattresses, depending on when you purchased, the sales advisor may not have been aware.If you would like to discuss this further please contact the customer service team.Many thanks

Why does this mattress only come with 1 year guarantee when others come with 5 or 10 years.

Answer: At Dreams we offer a standard one year guarantee on all of the products, the extended guarantees are from the supplier, unfortunately this supplier only provides a one year guarantee on this mattress.
