About the iGel NanoTech 3000i Mattress
Last checked
The iGel NanoTech 3000i is positioned as a gel-comfort pocket-sprung mattress rather than an all-foam bed, with the useful buyer signal sitting in its medium, 3 of 5, tension. That is a comfort-led specification. Detailed owner accounts refer to 3,000 pocket springs, BioGel made partly with plant extract, recycled PET comfort fibres and a Tencel cooling cover, so the build sits closer to a modern gel hybrid than to a traditional pocket-sprung mattress with wool, cotton and hand-tufted upholstery. A 3,000-pocket claim at this level is generous only when enough of those springs are doing real support work rather than simply boosting the count with smaller comfort springs; the practical point is whether the unit keeps the pelvis level while the gel and fibre layers soften pressure at the shoulders and hips. The medium feel makes that layering coherent: it should allow more sink than an orthopaedic open-coil mattress, while still giving a more mobile surface than thick memory-foam hybrids that can hold heat and slow turning. The Tencel and gel story is unusual enough to matter, but it is still comfort technology rather than a guarantee of perfect coolness in every room.
Side sleeping is where this specification makes most sense, because a medium gel surface can reduce pressure at the shoulder and hip while the pocket unit does the quieter support work underneath. Average-weight sleepers are the safest match. Happier accounts repeatedly describe better sleep, a supportive-but-cushioned feel and less overheating, including one substantial side-sleeper account linking the pressure relief with fewer hip problems and another noting that the mattress softened after the first couple of nights. The cooling claim broadly matches that pattern, though one mattress-protector account found the PU-backed protector made the bed warmer, so the bedding above the mattress can blunt the benefit of the Tencel and gel layers. Odour is the clearest fault line: a severe low-scoring account describes a chemical smell strong enough to keep the room unusable after nine days, and a happier recent account still says the new-mattress smell took weeks to fade. Shape retention and comfort are less settled, with isolated complaints of early dips after a month and waking with back ache; that does not overturn the stronger comfort signal, but it does argue against treating this as a firm corrective mattress for back sleepers who need a flatter lumbar platform. The iGel NanoTech 3000i suits average-weight side sleepers and couples wanting a cushioned medium gel hybrid; those prioritising firmer back support, minimal off-gassing or long-term anti-dip assurance should look instead at firmer £700+ pocket-sprung mattresses.

Someone had recommended this Brand of Mattress, I can honestly say it's the best recommendation I have had. I was lucky enough to purchase this in the pre-christmas sale at a very good price as these are not a cheap item. Bensons very kindly held it for us until we were ready to collect. I have slept extremely well every night since we have had it.
The Mattress is fantastic, wee bit firmer than we are used to but both loving it !
I love this mattress!!! It is so comfortable, i would definitely recommend. It did take a few weeks fir the new mattress smell to disappear but apart from that, it's perfect. So happy with it!
This is so far a really great mattress (3 weeks in) Super comfortable, firm and helping us to achieve sleep. Definitely try this mattress if you are searching for a quality product !
Very comfortable giving me just the right amount of support. Temperature control is good although I haven't slept on it through a heat wave. I can feel some movement from my partner but it's much better than my last mattress and probably the best I can get without going for a bigger or firmer mattress which I don't want.
The most comfortable mattress we've both ever slept on never have I got a good night sleep like I do on this mattress couldn't recommend more great company to deal with from start to finish!
We are so happy with our new mattresses, I have been sleeping better and waking up feeling energised, the gel technology is keeping my body temperature regulated, I would highly recommend this mattresses.
I would definitely recommend this mattress for comfort and support
The mattress is very comfortable. No complaints whatsoever. Very Happy with my purchase
Delivered on time. Old mattress taken away. Getting used to extra height. Took about four weeks for softness experienced in shop to be felt in our mattress. Now happy with it.
Really very comfortable, took me a couple of nights to get used to a new bed and now i love it .
Super comfy mattress. We went for the super king and we've both had great nights sleep with lots of space. It's a firm mattress with enough give that supports you but doesn't feel like memory foam is surrounding you.
Having tried many mattresses, having recently lost weight, I found I could feel the springs. This mattress is very comfortable and gives me a good comfortable nights sleep
What a difference this has made to the quality of our sleep
Lovely mattress. Best sleep we have had in a long time.
I am very pleased with my new mattress, it is very comfortable, and I get a much better night's sleep. I would definitely recommend this mattress.
I have had my new bed and mattress for one month now and I am very happy with it At first I wasn't sure because it felt so different and strange compared to my old bed However after purchasing a different mattress topper ( one that was more like the regular padded ones I'm used to) I now really enjoy my new bed
It's clearly a very well made bed, you can see and feel the sturdiness and quality, I liked that the packaging had a manufacture date so I could see it was only a month old and was pleased it wasn't delivered rolled up with the springs all crushed. I also noticed that this was much cooler at night for me than my old foam topped mattress. Sadly it was much firmer than the one I tried in the shop, I wanted Medium, this is definitely Firm so unfortunately I am back in a chair for part of the night :(
Tried it in store as well as other mattress and couldn't find anything more comfortable. Now I am pleased to say that it lives up to expectation and is so super comfortable and my quality of sleep has been significantly improved. Well worth the money!
Excellent!! No aching back or shoulders. Best nights sleep in a long time.
