Why our sleep experts loved it

The ActiGel® Glacier 4600 Pocket Sprung Mattress is part of a new range from Therapur that see's many traditional mattress specifications and features that have become commonplace in high-end and luxury mattresses.

To start, the base layer, also known as the support layer. This layer is what gives your body the support it needs to get a well-rested sleep and helps prevent things like back pain and the feeling of waking up sore. The support layer in this mattress is created from pocket springs, for those that don't know, a pocket spring is a spring that is housed in its own little pocket in the mattress and stitched together with many other pocketed springs. The end result of this is even support across the entire base meaning that no matter where you move your body in the night, you will get equal pressure-relieving support across the entire base.

On to the comfort layer and we see this mattress has what is being dubbed profiled Actigel® foam. This gel foam hybrid is able to perform like traditional foam, meaning it is really soft and bouncy, while removing the downsides commonly associated with it like heat regulation. By having better airflow and temperature regulation, the support layer in this mattress will allow you to remain comfortable while you sleep.

The comfort doesn't stop with the actigel layer however, you also get a pillow-top stitched into the top of this product giving you another layer of comfort on top of comfort, allowing you to sink further and become encased in luxury materials while still remaining cool.

Made in the UK by expert craftsman this is one that we don't think you want to miss and is a welcome addition to the new range.

*some elements of this review and the reviews supported by customers were offered against the previous model known as the Therapur ActiGel Response 4200 Mattress. The Therapur ActiGel® Glacier 4600 Pocket Sprung Mattress is an upgraded model that takes everything that was great about the response and added more springs for enhanced support and better body contouring.

Chris' review

Although we knew your website offered it, we did not make an appointment in case it made us seem too keen. Upon visiting our local showroom Mike immediately greeted us and, assessing our needs, invited us to try out the test bed which evaluates your sleeping position and proposes the best mattresses for you. This was helped greatly by Joanna Pages commentary although, when I saw my wifes disapproving look, I thought that I might have made a little bit too much of this benefit! All in all, a clever selling tool. Mike then showed us around the extensive showroom and fully explained the attributes of the chosen mattresses. When wed viewed them Mike said that hed leave us to discuss the examples that wed been shown. He'd made it easy for us to decide which was the best mattress for us and we met back up with him and make our purchase. The quality of the product meant that its cost was about a bit more than our initial budget. However, Mikes salesmanship and advice was relaxed and professional, and the service that we received was excellent so we left feeling that our choice was well considered and right.

My old mattress had been fabulous but at 11 years old I was starting to wake up with aches and pains. I bought this mattress as was the most comfortable for me on the day. I did try all of the medium/soft mattresses, some of them a few times but I kept coming back to this one. i ordered it and three weeks later it was delivered by the amazing delivery team. I cant praise them enough, they were so helpful. I was very excited to try it out but I left it to settle for a few hours before putting on all my new bedding and then went to bed looking forward to luxury. I had an awful night! I was so disappointed! I was thinking I might have made a terrible mistake, the mattress felt so much firmer! The next night I got my luxurious sleep. Every night since has just got better and better and my aches have disappeared. I am so pleased I bought this mattress, I dont get too hot, I dont ache, I feel supported but no pressure anywhere, just perfect !

We needed to replace our failing 15 month old German foam mattress, with Allan's help from the St. Andrews Quay store we finally choose the Therapur ActiGel Plus Response 4200D mattress together with a Pair of Tempur Comfort cooltouch Firm pillows This was considerably more than we initially wanted to pay, however since using the mattress at home now for almost three weeks the decision was the correct one. This mattress together with the Tempur pillows immediately felt comfortable having a very luxurious soft top together with the correct firmness needed for a restful night. Completely different from the previous foam mattress. Hopefully our choice will enable us to regain correct sleep patterns for many years to come. Cannot recommend Allan highly enough, he was attentive, professional and very experienced. This was a very satisfactory purchasing experience at Dreams Beds.

My partner and I sought out a new mattress as I was finding the one we had was to soft and causing me back pain. We spent time going through the sleep analysis bed thing to find the right kind of mattress for us. This was one of the recommended ones and therefore decided tj gk for it. We have since received delivery of this a few days ago and I was so excited but I have had nothing but continued back pain if not worse. It feels more firmer than what we experienced in the shop. I love the mattress but my back isnt loving it Im up around 3 times a night in pain. My partner also has a sore back in the morning now. We also got tempur pillows to go with the mattress and for the money we paid for everything its not what I expected and we are seriously considering returning the mattress

This is by far the comfiest bed i have ever slept on. The whole experience was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we walked in, we were treated lovely. We were tested on the electronic bed and asked about any back problems etc and they narrowed down the search to specific ones suitable for our needs. After being very patient with us trying loads and asking so many questions, we managed to pick on we loved and the process was so fast and conpleted within 30 minutes. They were able to do the exact date we wanted for delivery and it was exactly on time very polite guys. And the bed is simply amazing. What a truely flawless service from start to finish. This is not the first mattress weve had and certainly wont be the last. Thank you very much Dreams

I have had this mattress for about 4 weeks now and I am very please with it. The comfort level is outstanding and the Gel cooling layer on the top makes getting a good nights sleep easy. I look forward to going to bed now and am sleeping pretty much through the night whereas before I would wake up several times per night with discomfort and pain in my back. There have been a few nights recently which have been quite warm but the Gel cooling layer really helps to regulate the temperature. While it is not as cool as I expected to be, it definitely helps keep the overall temperature down so sleeping during warmer weather is easier. Overall I am very happy with the quality of this mattress. Would definitely recommend.

We had suffered with sleepless nights for a while and decided to pop in to our local Dreams store. What an experience! We lay on the bed and got a hitech review of our sleeping positions, body needs and were shown a couple of options that the magic bed had recommended. We couldn't wait to get our new bed and see if our restless nights would be over. And they were, like most people the first night was odd, new mattress, different feel, higher position and firmer than our very basic memory foam mattress. We are now asleep within minutes if shutting our eyes, we don't wake in the night and we rise rested without aching. Spend your money well, on the things that improve your wellbeing

We wanted to spend much less on a new mattress but haven't regretted going above the budget at all! Once we tried this in the shop, none of the other models shown to us could compare and although it's expensive, you really cannot put a prize on a good night's sleep. The mattress itself is a littler firmer than in the store but within a couple of weeks you can feel it getting softer while still providing great support. The cooling cover (even with the protector on) is amazing and prevents overheating, especially in the hot summer weather. The number of pocket springs means no more waking up your sleep partner when you turn and the gel topper molds really well around your body.

We wanted to wait over a month to write this as the mattress has started to settle now. The most comfy mattress weve ever had! Usually wed get the odd night where you lie awkwardly then wake up in pain on our old mattress, but that is a thing of the past now. No pain whatsoever. The cooling effect is less obvious with the mattress protector and sheet on but we can still feel the benefit slightly. The height will initially make you think how on earth will this fit on the bedframe, give it a month though and this will settle resulting in the cosiest mattress. We now have to give 15 mins extra in the morning to contemplate leaving the comfort of here now!

We had specifically said that we didn't want a mattress that would cause a dip, as our previous memory foam one had, so were disappointed upon receiving the new mattress to read the instructions saying it must be turned weekly for 3 months and then monthly afterwards. It is much heavier than we'd realised - much heavier than our memory foam - and not easy for us to turn, but we are certainly doing so as advised. The handles don't seem that sturdy though. It is also just as "hot" as our memory foam, which is something else we'd mentioned that we wanted to avoid. Having said all this, it is very comfortable, so far!

I've a very bad back and mattress buying is really stressful, in the past we've got the wrong one and made my back pain considerably worse. We used the sleep machine to calculate which mattress works best and the Therapur was recommended. It's very expensive, but my goodness it's worth it. The gel topper is very comfortable and offers support while being soft on my back. The spring mattress is very supportive and offers a medium firm base. The gel does quickly mould to your sleep position and there is a small ridge in the middle of the bed, but we don't mind that. I am no longer tossing and turning.

I am so glad that I took the time to utilise the Dreams Sleepmatch service as it has indeed matched me with my dream mattress. Had my TheraPur 4200 for about 3 weeks now and is the best sleep I have had in nearly 20 years. As someone who suffers from sciatica it is a joy to sleep in total comfort and not awake with any back pain. These better nights.of sleep mean I have so much more energy during the day, which leads to better productiviy, be that work or play. Combined with the exemplary customer service I received in-store, makes this all one of the better overall consumer experiences I have had.

I tried this mattress in store and was very excited to start using it. I've had the mattress for 3 weeks now so thought I'd share my review. The mattress looks and feels very luxurious, however as someone who is used to sleeping on a firm mattress, this feels quite soft (which surprised me as many reviews say this mattress is too firm?!) I have neck/back pains, which means I can only function on firm mattresses and sadly there have been a few days where I've woken up feeling stiff. I also get quite warm sleeping on it despite the actigel being advertised as being cooling so overall 3/5

I used the Dreams 3D bed scanner before purchasing a new matress, my old expensive foam matress was getting far too hot, sumping in the middle and I needed a new one to get some descent sleep. This was the recommended choice from the scanner and wow; since it arrived the firmness is perfect, it has a nice bounce to it which you notice when falling onto it or sitting on the edge, it doesnt buckle under weight but has a top part the redistributed the weight yet is soft. The gel layer keeps me cool, the matress is thick so it will make you be higher off the floor! Perfect for me, 10/10.

We bought this bed a few weeks ago and what a difference. I used to wake up during the night roasting hot, then Id wake up achey and unrested in the morning. Same for my husband, too many mornings waking up feeling like youd had an hours sleep. Then we bought this mattress - we cant feel each other turning over or moving, the mattress stays the perfect temperature and you wake up feeling refreshed. Its easy to turn and change position too, no more feeling like youve sunken into the bed and cant move. This mattress is great, highly recommend it to anyone who needs better sleep.

Much was promised by the Dreams sales woman and believe me when I say I did give her a rather hard time with never ending questions. However, at the end of the day I half believed all that she had told me. When the mattress arrived (on time within the delivery slot which is not common these days), I eased onto the mattress that night. I noticed how cool it was compared to room temperature in the bedroom and that was about it until I woke up in the morning. Had I missed something or was all the sales woman told me actually true. This is without doubt the best mattress money can buy.

Fantastic mattress. Amazing sleep from day 1. Previously owned a memory foam mattress that was bought online but over time developed lower back problems, so decided to visit Dreams for a replacement, the team in store were great and recommended a number of mattresses to try. This mattress was our choice and although slightly more expensive than we planned to spend we have no regrets, it is one of the best purchases weve made. So comfortable and supportive. After 3 months of use our back problems have disappeared. Absolutely love our mattress! The best sleep we have had.

I purchased this mattress and had it delivered a couple of weeks ago now. Oh my god is it comfortable, I have not slept so well in years, it use to take me anywhere up to 2hrs to get comfortable e ough to sleep. Now I am asleep within 15minutes or so. Along with the cool gel pillow I purchased and this mattress I actually look forward to bed time. Would highly recommended using the sleep tester bed in store and then trying various matresses it recommends. The mattress and pillow were certainly not the cheapest, but my god it was worth it ,(in my opinion).

Finally a mattress that doesn't cause me backache! Being a carer I'm used to my fair share of aches and pains but its great to wake up cool and pain free! An amazing mattress that was picked instore after using the dreams technology bed that examines what your body requires. Then able to lay on any beds we wished to see what we would like. Store staff were amazing. I recommend shopping instore if you're able. Not pushy and gave plenty of time. And whats best is the mattress has 8 years cover on it and a washable protector! 8 years! How amazing is that!

This mattress is firm, supportive and remains cool throughout the night. With our old mattress, I was always disturbed when my partner turned over during the night but this mattress reduces the impact of those turns on me. My partner and I have both noticed that we are not suffering from our arms and shoulders going numb throughout the night anymore either, which means that we have a better night's sleep. We are both having a much better night's sleep with the ActiGel mattress and it is helping my partner to manage his arthritis symptons.

I have had the new mattress for 4 weeks now, it took a few days to get used to, My back pain has ease up since having the mattress. Im a back sleeper and don't reposition much. Very comfortable to sleep on, it has been quite hot lately and i have to say that i didn't wake up feeling overheated. My last mattress was a foam one where i would wake in the middle of the night feeling hot. My husband is a reposition sleeper, that was noticeable to begin with but now i hardly notice. Also it has improved his snoring so that's a win, win for me.

I purchased this mattress and took delivery a month ago. Going from my old mattress to the 4200 is like going from non league to champions league winner. No more hot and stuffy nights thanks to the acticool quilted cover, and actigel foam. Amazing support, all of my aches and pains are gone and comfort like no other. The value is amazing despite being in the top end of . The great nights sleep makes this product worth it even if it were 3 times the price. This truly is a mattress fit for anyone...including the queen! 100/10

My old mattress had started to give us back pain as lacked support in the pelvic area and upper back, where we carry most of our weight. This then meant low back pain. The new mattress addresses the support perfectly for each area and is comfortable to sleep on. Sleep match definitely suggested the right mattress for me, as this was the one I had preference for, when I lay on it before I used the sleepmatch. I now look forward to going to bed and definitely harder to get up in the morning as dont want to part with my bed.

Mike H Nottingham

A very comfortable mattress as you would expect for the price. No bouncing from my wife next to me. As we both get hot at night, for various reasons, the gel cooling effect was something that sold this mattress to us, however by the time you get home and put a mattress protector and sheet on top the cooling effect virtually disappears. This is a little disappointing. We were sold a Tempura mattress protector in the dreams shop and this made it even worse as it was waterproof and hot. So it loses a star for this reason.

Mr/Mrs Reader

Great nights sleep; Normally I go for a firmer mattress with a memory foam topper, however as my wife and I got married recently I let her take a lead on this, glad I did, the 4600 even tho medium has great support and the cooling gel is fantastic to sleep on as as soon as my wife shuts her eyes. SHE BECOMES AN OVEN, with our different temperatures the gel has a great effect suiting to our individual needs and we have a fantastic nights sleep. Me - cool as a cucumber, Her - hotter than a Vindaloo.

In store staff were excellent. Extremely helpful, knowledgeable and went the extra mile to make sure we got the mattress best suited for us. The delivery was on time and delivered direct to bedroom - great staff. The mattress was to replace a very hard Simba mattress and is great. It's not too soft or too hard but just right for us. We have since been back to Dreams and ordered a replacement bed frame to replace our old base. Overall - product is great for us and the service was outstanding.

I brought this product a month ago. The reason being my partner and myself went for a overnight stay in a hotel that has your mattresses on their beds ( we both slept like babies.) On our return we visited our local store. A Dream in itself ! Oh my since having the mattress l have no backache from tossing and turning all night. I love the way the product hugs you when you are in bed. The best sleep ever. Now in the morning l feel ready to face the day. It's all down to Dreams. Thank you.

I have had the mattress 1 month now and I am so happy we made the decision on this mattress. The first week I was unsure on it however I think this was just an adjustment phase to "something different". Now it is the perfect balance for me between comfort and support. Which is of big importance to me. Call me goldilocks. Not to soft not too firm. I am sleeping comfortably but not soft that you cant get up in the morning! The mattress is wonderful, thank you dreams.

Hayley B

via Dreams

Ive only been sleeping on this mattress for a matter of weeks but it is super comfortable and I no longer wake up with back pain. We opted for the firm for the added support to help deal with pain and it is definitely on the firm side but as the mattress softens it will be perfect. So far its very comfortable, super supportive and no roll together for myself and my partner even though there is a big difference in weight between us both. Would definitely recommend!

Jay1988

I work a 60 hour, so getting a good nights sleep is important to me. I've been sleeping on this new mattress for roughly 3 weeks and I've had the best nights sleep ever since. I tell my wife every night I feel like I'm on a cloud. On my old mattress I had troubles getting back to sleep after getting up in the middle of the night or being awaken, however on this, i get right back in and straight to sleep, best investment on a mattress so far and I 100% recommend it.

Jenniferallsorts

via Dreams

After sleeping on this mattress for the last 2-3 weeks I am so pleased I chose this one as it is so comfortable and with the gel topping it makes it extra soft to the touch and it also stops you from overheating in the night. I was worried about replacing my waterbed which I had been used to previously for the past 20 odd years but I really needn't have worried as this mattress more than matches it and without all the maintenance involved. A very good decision.

Bob J M

Despite top layer on the firm side of medium if you see what I mean. This suits me well and as defined by the sleep system that I experienced at the start of my visit, so that system seems to be accurate. My sleep has improved tremendously since my purchase so I am very pleased. With osteoarthritis sleep became very poor but this mattress has given me a much better quality of life. Not sure you want this here but staff were excellent at the Swindon Dreams Shop.

Pav R

via Dreams

It's our first proper expensive mattress. It is great for someone, who can't decide between soft or medium mattresses. Loads of springs let's you not bother your partner too much when rolling over and fully enjoy your sleep. Other feature is manly for someone who is a warm sleeper. Cool effect helps falling asleep and after a hour or so becomes cozy temperature instead. Great purchase overall, but would not have been possible without staff at the store!

LexBD

via Dreams

Fabulous mattress if your partner is fidgety at night. You can hardly feel movement. Not as soft as I felt a medium mattress should be but thats just preference. The gel isnt too cold. I was worried it might make the bed cold in winter but it doesnt. Hoping it will cool me down in summer through. Its a very high mattress which I really like. Youll need European size sheets. On the whole, good quality mattress that feels strong and long lasting.

Anthony S 1983

At first i was skeptical about spending this much on a matress, i for a long time have suffered back ache and could take an hour to fall asleep most nights. Getting this matress in no uncertain terms changed this, i fall asleep straight asay now and the back pain is almost a forgotten memory, the matress is still holding its chape and when my heavily pregnant partner moves around it does not transfer over to myself almost like being in seperate beds

Vness

via Dreams

We brought this matress two months ago as a new bed set. The mattress is extremely comfortable for both me and my partner who sleep differently and prefer different firmness of mattress. It is a great size and still feels brand new everyone you get on it. It is definitely cooler to lie on than our last one so the Therapure must work or that there is a greater space without bodies on to dispipate heat. But i would still recommend this mattress.

Valerie Anne

via Dreams

This is a really comfortable mattress whether youre a side or on your back sleeper. It feels very supportive with just the right support, However, there should be handles on the top and bottom sides as well as currently on the longer sides. This is because rotating the mattress does require lifting from the bed frame from all sides. So all sides should have handles, with one each for the top and bottom since this is a heavy mattress.

D Taylor

via Dreams

For me, this mattress, is a dream come true! I've been in search of my ideal mattress for such a long time! Being quite slight, and my previous mattress being firm, I felt like I was being too supported in certain areas, which made my hips ache. The Therapur ActiGel 4600 has dissolved my pain completely and whilst still giving me some support, it allows me to "sink in" to fit the shape of my back so it feels amazingly comfortable.

BeeK

via Dreams

After careful consideration and looking for the right mattress I found this amazing mattress which is perfect. I used to suffer from back aches as I had a cheap mattress for several years. Since I have had this mattress when sleeping I feel like I am floating almost as its just so comfortable and my back pain has gone. Its definitely worth investing in the right mattress and I would definitely recommend this one if you mid-firm.

Steggles

I had the best customer service in the Norwich, Mousehold branch. The gentlemen were very knowledgable and friendly, but gave me space to make my own decision. Delivery was very prompt and informative. The Therapur Actigel mattress is literally a dream! I had the most restful nights sleep Ive had in ages. It regulates my temperature, is soft enough that you melt into it, but firm underneath to give you support. Brilliant!

Mr R Jones

via Dreams

1st mattress had to go back as stitching on top cover coming undone when delivered. 2nd mattress all good, but had to wait 2/3 weeks for delivery. This is a very heavy mattress and people should be aware that fitting the sheets is not easy. However, it IS worth the money as the quality shines through. A little bit harder than expected when lying on it but I expect it will last a very long time without showing any sagging.

KirstenG

via Dreams

I have had the mattress for almost a month now and the quality of sleep both my husband and I have been getting has improved massively. We have actually noted that we are dreaming more and the time it takes for us to get to sleep has reduced. I would thoroughly recommend this mattress. It isnt until you get a really good nights sleep, that you realise how much you have been needing a new mattress. Worth every penny.

MelCl

via Dreams

After trying a number of different mattresses in the store, this was the obvious choice as you could immediately feel the comfort as soon as you sat/lay down. Weve had it for a couple of weeks, but my partner can already feel the difference as this is the only mattress where he can sleep on his side and not feel any pain in the morning as it is so adaptable to your sleeping style. Weve never felt comfort like it!

JOANNAH

We were impressed with the bed in the showroom so decided to splash out and get the bed we loved.. which happened to be the most expensive. However after a few weeks of testing, we can both say we are delighted with it and suffer no more rolling in the middle, keep cool at night and no more back pain! It is a high bed which can take getting used to but it's lovely to step out of bed rather than climb up from one!

Having bought the Therapur Active Gel Plus Response 4200 Mattress it is very comfortable but is extremely heavy & I'm unable to make the bed without help as I'm unable to lift the mattress to put on a fitted sheet or tuck in a flat sheet, which is disappointing & very frustrating. It means I have to make sure my husband is in to help me & really we both struggle with the weight, which is not good as we get older.

We decided to upgrade from our old Ikea bed and mattress. Was initially a bit reluctant to pay such a price for a mattress, but took the leap after trying out a few different models in the store. In the end it's very simple, if you want quality you'll have to pay for it. The Dreams service was top notch, will from now onward buy mattresses there. What a difference it has made. Absolutely happy with our purchase!

Feggers12

Had this mattress just over two weeks and so far very impressed. It is firmer on my bed frame than it felt on the divan base in the shop in my opinion but thats actually fine for me. It doesnt make me hot like memory foam and is definitely cool to the touch. As expected for such a good quality item it is very heavy which does make turning it on my own tricky but on the whole would recommend this mattress 100%

Marionj

via Dreams

I already had a dreams memory foam mattress but as I was upsizing to a king size I needed a new one. I have slept incredibly well since receiving this. It is perfect. Comfortable and definitely is not very very hard or too soft. I would say that the cooling feature disappears if you put a mattress protector in the bed which I always do. I Have To say though it is nothing like as hot as my previous mattress.

EllzElly

via Dreams

We decided to splurge on a decent new mattress and are so pleased with our choice. We went for a super king size and it's both spacious and comfortable. My fianc has has no issues with overheating anymore thanks to the gel inside the top layer. Please note that you will need deep fitted sheets as this is a 35inch mattress. Shout out to Derek at the Croydon branch who helped us make the right decision.

Tree73

After almost 18months of debating getting a new mattress we finally did. Tried the sleep analysis machine and the 1st mattress we lay on we both liked. However, we then spend the next month visiting other retailers and trying countless other mattresses before going back to the 1st one we tried. Although it feels different to when we tried it in the shop we definitely made the right decision in the end!!

Toomuchshoes

via Dreams

This is fabulous quality,it is comfortable however it is impossibly heavy so tucking in the sheet and mattress protector is extremely difficult,additionally due to the covering of the mattress the mattress protector slides around on it,ruffles up underneath the sheet.I consider myself healthy so would say an older person or someone with not a lot of strength would not manage to deal with this at all.

First off the mattress is thick but with so much support.... Like lying ontop of Nicki Minaj rear end! Size is perfect, can lay face down with arms open wide and still not touch the partner so thats an absolute win in my book. Comfort is key with mattresses and this does not let you down. Must be made from something special as it just Envokes pure happiness when laying down. Nothing like the Mrs.

Happy Sleepers!

This was an expensive buy, but we feel that our bodies were worth it. We have found that adjusting to the new mattress took about two weeks, felt rather firm to start with, but have to say now that every night is a good night, our bodies feel well supported, we sleep well, do not disturb each other when one of us turns over, and don't wake up with any aches or pains, so very happy with our choice.

We bought this mattress to replace a customised but ageing memory foam mattress. This one adds the right level of support and luxurious comfort. It feels as if we are spending each night in a luxury hotel. My wife suffers with irritable legs and arthritis and this mattress has revolutionised her quality of sleep in the 3 weeks since we received it. I would definitely recommend this product.

Such a comfortable mattress. Waited for some discount and was happy with price paid. Initially we received a mattress with some stitching issues but Dreams customer service were first class and replaced the mattress very quickly with no problem. Sleeping very well and enjoying the coolness which then becomes body temperature. The real test will be summer nights but excellent so far.

This is a great mattress, but be careful on the comfort grade. It was advertised online and in the shop as firm, but labelled medium when delivered. Looks like Dreams have amended online description now. Feels like a quality control issue that was missed. Definitely try before you buy and make your own mind up. This is my second review as the first was not accepted for publication.

After noticing that we were visiting the chiropractor more frequently we decided to look at replacing our mattress. The difference was instant from the first night with this mattress. For the first time in months we slept through the whole night and after a week the back issues started to ease. This mattress is exceptionally heavy and the top layer is always cool to touch.

Had my old mattress for 12 years, I knew it had run its course with the back ache I ended up with. Since Ive purchased this mattress with in a week Ive noticed a huge difference, I dont feel achy when I wake up and Im not tossing and turning like I was with my previous mattress. Altho it was abit out of my budget im glad I spent the extra it has 100% been worth it!

Fantastic service from start to finish. We've been with Dreams for around 18 years and have had various mattresses and bed related products over the years, the quality is always excellent and the customer service in store is very welcoming and friendly. Just a quick mention to the delivery guys, they were very good, polite, friendly and extremely helpful - Top marks.

The original Road Runner

via Dreams

The mattress is exactly as advertised. Medium hardness and cool. My previous mattress temperature was all over the place, too hot or too cold so it was blankets on or blankets off all night. With my new Therapur ActiGel Glacier 4600 Mattress I put a blanket on the bed that feels right when I go to bed, and wake up in the morning and it's still the right blanket :)

Verified Buyer

via Dreams

The gel is cooler than I had anticipated,certainly felt warmer in the showroom. Having to get used to the feeling of lying on a fluid surface. There are different instructions on how long to rotate the mattress. One leaflet and the driver stated rotate it after one week, then monthly. The guide with the mattress states rotate it every week for the first 3 months.

This is an incredible mattress. We tested all of the Therapur range from budget-up. The difference in standard with this topnof the range model sold us. This was even after testing a Tempur mattress. Thoroughly recommended, especially with the comfort gurantee which provides assurance of an equivalent priced swap if not entirely satisfied. Pricey, but worth it.

After a long hard search trying to find the right mattress for us, we found this one. Its incredibly comfortable, keeps us cool and you can tell just to touch it it is an exceptional mattress. From the minute it was delivered (the delivery team were ace) we have not had one restless night and no longer wake up with aches and pains. Cant recommend this enough.

David P.

via Dreams

A good, quality mattress, offering good support over the body length (20 nights using it). However, in my view, it lacks the body-moulding and bodyweight pressure-release ("weightlessness" feeling) of pricier Tempur memory foam mattresses. Plus it is heavy (70kg for kingside) and chunky. So more a cost/benefit question when compared to other, pricier options.

I have researched mattresses and I can honest say we are not disappointed in our choice. Zipped in the middle meant it was easy to manoeuvre which helped as it was delivered during the COVID period. My husband was reluctant to change our previous mattress but he agreed great choice so comfy and yet supportive. Great Comms from Dreams also thanks

...this mattress knocked me for 6. This is by far and away the best mattress I have ever had the pleasure of sleeping on. The firm mattress and soft topper compliment each other perfectly making for a fantastic night sleep. Big enough for two amply sized persons, or, if you're on your own, plenty of space to starfish. Fantastic purchase.

Hima

via Dreams

I bought this mattress a month ago and its is pretty comfortable but there is a smell to the mattress! I thought it would disappear in a week or two but its still there. My whole room smells and so does my duvet. That is why I have given it 3 stars. I have tried calling the shop but the line goes to voicemail after a few rings.

Withane

Both my wife & myself suffer with chronic back pain. She also suffers with Fibromyalgia. For years we have searched for a mattress that we can actually sleep well on. The minute we tried this one in the showroom we knew it was the one we had been looking for. It is so comfy, you dont actually want to get off it in the morning

S from Ilkley

via Dreams

Quite simply, this is the most expensive mattress we have ever purchased. It was money well spent as it is a joy to sleep on. Zero movement for either of us when one of us turns over. Seems to control body temperature as it says in the description. Side handles very useful when turning the mattress around. Highly recommended.

nickog

via Dreams

The construction of this mattress offers the unique combination of being just firm enough to make one feel supported, yet the gel layer at the top cushions the body so it form-fits to the mattress. It makes for a great night's sleep and after years of lower back pain, I'm feeling better and less sore with each passing week.

Cliffb43

Within a few minutes of being made up for the first time our cat Pickles has examined the bed and promptly went to sleep on it.This was a good omen, we find the mattress extremely comfortable and on recent warm nights we found no discomfort or the need to remove covers. Very pleased with this mattress and would reccomend.

via Dreams

Purchased this for my mother. She really likes it. The topper adds to the comfort and as she has suffered with back pain recently it has given her welcome relief. Would recommend to anyone else with back issues. A mattress, a good mattress is the difference between a decent night's sleep and continual aches and pains.

We had the matress delivered just over a month ago. We were overdue and me and hubby started to feel aches and pains upon awakening and feeling tired. Not any more, general aches and pains have eased and we're having a quality sleep feeling refreshed upon awakening, let's face it as we age comfort is a big one

OllieG

via Dreams

So thrilled with this mattress, it's both supportive and comfortable. The edge support is amazing and really does make the bed feel bigger as you're able to sleep right up to the edge of the mattress. I always look forward to returning to my bed after a night away, it is the best mattress I have ever slept on!

Blobb

via Dreams

Without a doubt the best mattress we have purchased. We have always had pocket spring mattresses before until moving to one of the Montoya foam mattresses you see advertised on tv. None of these compare to the comfort this mattress provides. Support where its needed, cooling from the topper, comfort all over.

PennyJ

via Dreams

I wish I had bought this mattress years ago. I have had back problems since I was 21 yes old and tried the orthopaedic mattress, the memory foam all the things people with back injuries are told to try. I wont claim this is a miracle cure but I can get up in a morning now without being crippled and bent over.

I just wanted the best

via Dreams

Once you try this mattress it would be hard to choose anything else ! My thinking is the average person spends 1/3 of their life on a bed so why not have a quality rest on the best you can find . I would recommend this mattress to anyone . Cooling feel also in warmer weather from the gel top - brilliant!!

NikkijBo

via Dreams

A deep comfortable matress that has really helped with my back pain. Within a week of having it I noticed I was waking up without nagging back aches. I really do sleep like a log! I love the feel of the topper too...very luxurious feel and great to regulate your temperature if like me you get hot in bed!

DKyle

via Dreams

The service I received at Dreams was second to none and this mattress is by the best one I have had the pleasure of sleeping on. I have had nothing but great sleeps since and the back pain I was suffering from has all but gone. Testament to the fact that having a good mattress is worth the investment.

So comfy! I Sleep so well now. My partner who is regularly awake during the night and always sleeps poorly has had the best rest and nights sleep he has had in years thanks to our new mattress. He is also a hot sleeper and he has felt so much cooler since we have been sleeping on our Therapur mattress.

Lorraine M

Its extremely comfortable, supports the skeletal bone structure of the body its a full deep thick luxurious mattress with a pillow top. Its a considered purchase for a mattress but you awake refreshed and full of vitality. Its an excellent product very fit for purpose so well with the money.

Paula H

via Dreams

Greatest mattress ever! Better than a hotel mattress! Perfect for my hubby who likes firm & me who likes medium because we get plenty of support from the 4200 springs & i get extra comfort & softness from the topper. Also the gel in the topper is so cooling, we both sleep soundly & comfortably now.

Pw1966

via Dreams

Had this mattress 2 weeks now. Top quality but unfortunately too hard for my wife so going to change it to the 3200. Please dreams I know you don't want people returning stock Willy nilly but by insisting we have to keep it 40 days before changing to the softer one is not great customer service.

Adamo

via Dreams

This is an incredibly comfortable mattress - it's a joy to get into every evening, and our sleep has drastically improved since we bought it. Well worth the investment. The only thing to be aware of is the height. It is quite deep, and coupled with a higher bed frame may not suit some people.

D&SN

Amazing mattress so supportive and the gel layer really does keep us cool. Delivery and communication beforehand were excellent and the delivery guys were great, even tho they had to negotiate stair to our property. Showroom staff were informative and we felt very confident with the purchase

In Grate Pain in back, shoulders and neck, could not get a good nights sleep with the discomfort. Best thing I ever did buying this bed after one week, better sleep greatly reduce pain and get up refreshed. Thank you to the Dreams team at Bridgend for introducing this mattress to me.

SBone

via Dreams

We have had this mattress now for about a month and couldn't be happier. We both are comfortable and what we really love is that the mattress keeps you cool during the night due to the Actigel technology - so unlike our old memory foam mattress which made us feel hot throughout the night.

Great mattress. Ordering, delivery etc was all so easy and efficient. This mattress itself is so comfy. I was worried the cooling gel would be too cold but its a perfect temp. The guys who delivered were very professional and friendly... no complaints and a very happy customer! Thank you

I have a bad back and couldnt sleep on our old mattress, tried this mattress in store and the gel made it feel cold but comfortable. Within 2 weeks of sleeping on this mattress my back had improved beyond belief. Were now getting full comfortable nights sleep on an excellent mattress.

Jacquih

The most expensive mattress i have bought. Was worried it wouldn't be worth it. It is firm but the gel makes the top feel soft. Both my husband and i can definitely say we have slept better since we purchased it. Do still have a bit of back pain in the morning but nowhere near as bad.

souzie2

Fabulous mattress, really comfortable, and much cooler than my previous hybrid. At 38cm, it can be a challenge to find fitted sheets, but they are out there. Love the cold top layer, and just the right firmness for me. I do still have hot nights, but nothing like as bad as they were.

Excellent service even though there has been a delivery issue due to factory shutting down because of COVID. We were kept up to date and always felt that the service was excellent. Mattress is extremaly comfy and my daughter loves it. Would buy again and would definately recommend.

We replaced our 10 year old mattress (it was a good one), so glad we visited Dreams and enjoyed the whole experience. Mattress was delivered as promised and old one taken away. The cool topping is really good as husband is always warm in bed. Super comfy and supportive. Great buy.

This is literally like sleeping on a cloud. I cannot stress how comfortable this mattress is. Gone are the days of a lumpy mattress and tossing and turning all night. Hello to feeling fresh and amazing after a great 8 hour sleep! A good nights sleep should be everyones priority.

Robrob

via Dreams

Its not that its noticeably super comfortable, but after a while you realise that you haven't had to move or toss and turn to get comfortable again, you just forget you are lying on a mattress at all. That makes it much quicker to get off to sleep and you wake up feeling rested.

Simon48

via Dreams

Getting more comfortable as it is "bedded in". My fitted sheets do not fit it without an immense struggle. Unexpectedly high off the ground with the divan base we chose. Slight concern that the mattress can only turn one way and with my weight that could be a medium term problem

Enoch Amparbeng

I think there's nothing as good as what I am sleeping on now ( TherPur Acti Gel 4200 mattress) it's like getting to know someone... we started our relationship over a fortnight ago and its been unbelievable so far. Thank you Dreams for this life changing experience. Love ya'll.

Ask question

What Makes The Therapur® ActiGel® Glacier 4600 Mattress Great?

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

Medium comfort grade

Medium tension mattresses are suitable for the vast majority of people as they are not too soft, nor too firm. This firmness can offer a good amount of back and neck support while still being soft enough to prove suitable for side sleepers. The key benefit for this type of layer is that it's sort of a "one size fits all" approach that gives your body the contouring and support necessary while remaining soft and squishy.

It’s hypoallergenic

A Hypoallergenic mattress is one that is unlikely to cause allergies thanks to the materials that make up its composition. This is all thanks to a reduced number of allergens in the compound that are gentle on the skin and won't cause irritation while also reducing the effects of allergy triggers like dust mites and bacteria.

Comes with our 40-Night Sleep Guarantee

The 40 night sleep guarantee is great as it allows you to exchange the product if you are not completely satisfied. This was one of the final challenges for online retailers to overcome comparable to traditional bricks and mortar where you can trial the product in store. Buy with confidence on this model.

Rest easy with a 1-year guarantee

A one year guarantee is suitable for many as the vast majority of problems that may occur often do so within that first year. At the same time, more and more retailers are beginning to offer multi-year warranty and guarantees although these often come at a slightly higher price point on average.

With an ActiCool® knitted cover

The ActiCool cover is a great addition to a well-performing mattress which gives you better breathability through the mattress. This all comes together to keep you cooler for longer, ensuring great temperature regulation for a deeper nights sleep with less tossing and turning.

Pillow top layer gives a luxurious feel

A pillow top works as a permanent additional comfort layer that sits at the top of your mattress offering an additional degree of thickness to help separate you from the base support layer. Ideal for those who want more softness and luxury that allows them to sink deeper.

Layered with foam and PurFibre® for comfort and support

Layers of PurFibre® fibres sit in the upper layer where comfort is derived. This fibre layer has brilliant rebound and recovery which gives a decent level of both comfort and support within the mattress.

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.
