About the Ashford Memory Support Divan Bed Set Mattress
Last checked
Memory-support comfort is the headline of the Ashford Divan Bed Set, and the customer signal lines up with a mattress aimed at pressure relief rather than a springy, hotel-style feel. It is a simple foam-led proposition. The name points to a comfort surface that is meant to let the body settle in, and that is exactly where the better feedback clusters: the mattress is repeatedly described as comfortable, with the stronger praise centred on a moulding feel rather than a flat, resistant surface. This is not a technical mattress showcase. A memory-support divan set sits in a different lane from pocket-sprung or memory-foam hybrid mattresses; the appeal is a simpler all-in-one bed-and-mattress purchase, while the higher hybrid tier usually gives clearer information on spring count, edge structure and comfort-layer depth. The divan element matters because the set is being bought as furniture as well as a sleep surface, and assembly feedback is encouraging, especially for a child’s room or spare bedroom where speed and simplicity carry real value. The conservative part is the specification story itself: there is no evidence here of a complex support core, zoned springing or premium natural fillings, so the value judgement rests heavily on whether the foam feel suits the sleeper.
The memory-support feel suits someone who wants a cushioned, body-hugging surface and does not need the livelier push-back of an open-coil or pocket-sprung mattress. Comfort is the main dividing line. Praise tends to centre on sleep improvement and easy living with the set, with the moulding sensation standing out as the clearest reason the bed works for satisfied buyers; the same feedback also suggests it lands well in secondary rooms and teenage bedrooms, where easy assembly and a complete divan package matter as much as mattress engineering. Couples with very different body weights may find the foam-led character less predictable, because contouring comfort can feel supportive to one sleeper and too yielding or awkward to another, and the low-rating feedback includes a severe comfort complaint from a buyer who found the mattress very difficult to sleep on. That complaint is not a broad pattern. It still deserves weight because comfort is the whole proposition here, not a side feature. Heat and edge behaviour are harder to judge from the product information, so the safer reading is to treat this as a straightforward memory-support set rather than a specialist cooling or reinforced-edge mattress. It fits spare rooms, teenagers and adults who already like a moulding foam feel; sleepers who need firmer, more responsive support or better handling of weight differences in a shared bed should consider a pocket-sprung hybrid or a higher-spec divan mattress set.

Specifications
Manufacturer specifications without the jargon, easy to scan and compare.
Comfort choice– Medium (Also available in Soft as the Ashford Memory)
Mattress padding resists body weight more evenly, keeping you flatter overnight. Lighter side sleepers or anyone who prefers a deeper cushioned dip may prefer the gentler alternative, because this one can push back before the body settles fully.
Extra storage options available – 2 drawers, 4 drawers, 2+2 drawers or a full ottoman, also available with no drawers for a sleek look
Under-bed compartments turn unused base space into somewhere for bedding, shoes or spare clothes, keeping bulky items out of wardrobes and off the bedroom floor. Drawers need side clearance, while an ottoman needs lifting access.
Dynamic reinforced edge support- for added durability, reduces roll-off, and optimises the sleep surface all the way to the edge of the mattress;
Strengthened sides hold the mattress perimeter firmer when you sit or lie near it, giving you more usable width and less sense of sliding off. Softer top layers may compress before the firmer perimeter resists.
Deep open coil mattress springs– for even weight distribution, added durability, comfort and support
Linked coils move together under your body, spreading load across the mattress and making dips less sudden when you change position. Movement can travel, though, and may bother light-sleeping bed sharers.
Pro-bio treated fabric– a natural treatment in the fabric, to reduce harmful bacteria and help prevent the effects of dust mite allergens
Treated cover discourages bacterial build-up and dust mite allergen residues, leaving the surface less musty between sheet changes. People with severe allergies should use a full washable encasement.
Made in the UK in a British Kitemark™ Quality Accredited factory- Recognised as a symbol of quality, safety and trust for more than 100 Years
Workshop checks can catch mislabelled covers or uneven filling before dispatch, reducing the chance of a basic build fault reaching your bedroom. It doesn't prove the feel will suit your body.
Free 5-year guarantee– for peace of mind
Manufacturer cover runs for 5 years at no extra charge, putting a written route in place if a qualifying fault appears after delivery. Wear, stains and comfort changes usually sit outside it.
Memory foam– for responsive, pressure relieving comfort and support
Foam softens under body heat and spreads weight around shoulders and hips, easing sharper contact points as you settle into one position. Hot sleepers may prefer a more open spring feel.
Quilted sleep surface- featuring hypoallergenic and breathable layer to help you sleep fresh, and 42% recycled.
Stitched padding creates a cushioned top panel, while the low-irritant layer lets moisture vapour move away from your sheet. Deep stitching can trap warmth unless bedding is kept light.
"I’m Green™ packaging- made from a minimum of 50% sugar cane and 30% recycled plastics"
Delivery wrap relies less on new fossil plastic, giving you less virgin plastic to deal with once everything is unpacked. Recycling depends on your local council's plastic film rules.
Simply by Bensons base on castors – the perfect complement to our Simply by Bensons collection of mattresses
Small wheels underneath let you pull the bed out for cleaning or room changes without dragging the frame across the floor. They can mark soft flooring unless cups or glides are used.
Upholstered Divan Base in a choice of two luxury fabrics – choose from Cool Grey or Dune Beige
Cloth-covered sides soften the hard box shape and help the base sit more quietly against curtains, carpet and painted walls. Pale shades may show scuffs sooner in busy rooms.
Soft-touch, stretch knit cover– works in harmony with the springs and fillings to contour to each sleeper's body shape
Fabric that flexes over the top lets the surface follow shoulders and hips, leaving fewer tight spots as you change position. Sharp jewellery or rough washing can snag it.
Mattress height- 22cm
Lower profile sides sit closer to the slats, leaving more headboard visible and easing the climb into bed. Deep fitted sheets may sit loose around the corners.
Strong, sturdy timber frame – sourced from responsibly managed forests
Timber rails inside the headboard help it sit square and resist wobble when you lean back in bed. Forest sourcing doesn't prove the board will never creak.

I bought this bed for a spare bedroom so it has not been used yet but I tested it and the mattress feels very comfortable. I would recommend buying this.
The best sleep I've had in years, the mattress just seems to mould to yourself.
Really pleased with my purchase, I bought this for my teenage daughter and she loves it. The divan base and headboard was really easy to put together and the mattress is very comfortable. Would definitely recommend
