About the iGel NanoTech 4000i Plushtop Mattress
Last checked
Buyers considering the iGel NanoTech 4000i Plushtop Mattress are looking at a comfort-led bed, not a pared-back support slab. Its medium feel, 3 of 5, puts it in the compromise zone: cushioned enough for shoulders and hips to settle, but not as locked-down as a firmer orthopaedic build. The surface does the comfort work. A gel plushtop at this level is a comfort-layer investment rather than proof of a more advanced support system; compared with entry open-coil mattresses it should feel more pressure-relieving and less springy on top, but compared with firmer pocket-sprung orthopaedic models it will not give the same taut, braced feel through the lower back. The iGel NanoTech naming points attention towards cooling and adaptive comfort, yet the practical part of the build is the plushtop: a softer upper layer that changes first-contact feel before the deeper support takes over. It is honest comfort engineering for the category. That suits sleepers who dislike a hard mattress but still want a broadly supportive bed, although stomach sleepers and anyone who reads “supportive” as very firm may find the medium tension too yielding through the centre.
The gel-topped surface and medium tension point most clearly towards side sleeping, especially for average-weight people who need pressure relief at the shoulder without dropping too far at the hip. Pressure relief is the main attraction. Happier accounts repeatedly describe strong comfort, a quality feel and better sleep, with one detailed couple account also praising low partner disturbance; that fits the plushtop brief, because extra surface cushioning usually softens movement and reduces sharp pressure points. Temperature is where the iGel promise becomes contested: some positive accounts say it stays cool, but low-scoring feedback describes the mattress as warmer than expected, including cases where cooling was the main reason for purchase. Bulk also becomes a practical irritation, with poor scores mentioning awkward turning, substantial weight and difficulty finding bedding deep enough for the mattress depth. One recent account also raises an odour issue. Back sleepers of average build may still get on with it, but those wanting firmer lumbar hold will probably prefer a tighter-feeling support system. For average-build side sleepers wanting a cushioned medium mattress, this is the right call. For hot sleepers or anyone needing firmer back support, look at firmer pocket-sprung or latex-hybrid tiers instead.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Plushtop design offers a soft feel while maintaining supportive spine alignment for varied sleeping positions.
- Cooling gel infusion effectively regulates temperature, helping to prevent night sweats for warm sleepers.
- High-quality materials enhance durability and contribute to the mattress's perceived quality and longevity.
- Sleepers appreciate minimal motion transfer, allowing undisturbed rest even when sharing the bed.
Cons
- Reportedly firmer than expected, making it unsuitable for buyers preferring a medium feel.
- Heavyweight structure requires two people to turn or manipulate the mattress easily.
- Contrary to expectations, the mattress may retain heat, leading to discomfort for those sensitive to temperature.
- Some users struggle to find deep enough bedding for this notably thick mattress.

Cannot give a review as waiting a time for customer service to review the mattress due to the bad smell
A very comfortable mattress. Well worth the investment.
Really comfortable bed. Best mattress we have ever bought. Feels like we're in a upmarket hotel.
Feels excellent quality. It's our second after replacing the previous with this one. The beading at the top helps keep shape compared to other brands.
Very comfortable helps you sleep more comfortable Love it
We have found the iGel nano 4000 plush top mattress to be the most comfortable mattress for both of us )one is a back sleeper and the other a side sleeper ) definitely recommend this mattress to others.
We bought this bed from your Salisbury store. We were delighted with the service we received from Darrell. He explained clearly and cogently the differences between the almost bewildering choice of mattresses available. We were of course aware of the type of mattress we preferred but there were options within that range and Darrel steered us well. We have now had the mattress for just over a month. Deliver was as promised and the staff were polite, efficient and tidy. Crucially, the mattress is proving to be as comfortable as we hoped.
Great night's sleep; both myself & my partner see as perfect investment for fututre night's sleeping, thank you so much for helping us make the best choice.
So far we have been very pleased with the comfort.
Splendid mattress. Very comfortable to have a good night sleep for me and my wife. Thank you .
The new igel nano mattress had a very strong smell and I couldn't sleep on it for 3 weeks. I had to leave the bedroom windows open to air the room, hence only giving 4 stars. Now I am using the mattress and the comfort level is excellent and as expected after selecting it from the showroom.
We recently purchased the iGel NanoTech 4000i Plushtop Mattress, and after spending some nights on it, I can confidently say it has transformed my sleep quality. The Plushtop design offers a luxurious, cloud-like feel while still providing excellent support. It's soft enough to relieve pressure points but firm enough to keep my spine aligned properly. Whether sleeping on my back, side, or stomach, it adapts well without sinking too much. I tend to overheat at night, but this mattress does a great job of regulating temperature, preventing me from waking up sweaty. The cooling gel infusion helps dissipate body heat, making it perfect for warm rooms. If you share your bed, this mattress minimises movement exceptionally well. Even when my partner moves or gets in and out of bed, I barely feel any disturbance. This is a huge plus for light sleepers! The materials feel high-quality, and the overall construction appears very durable. A great mattress that we are both very pleased with!
Excellent Comfort and Support - The iGel NanoTech 4000i Plush Top Mattress is a Dream! We recently purchased the iGel NanoTech 4000i Plush Top Mattress, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. From the moment I lay down, I experienced a level of comfort that truly exceeded my expectations. The plush top provides a soft, luxurious feel that makes it a joy to sleep on, while the advanced NanoTech gel technology ensures optimal temperature regulation throughout the night. One of the standout features is how supportive the mattress is despite its plush surface. It contours perfectly to my body, alleviating pressure points and reducing tossing and turning. I wake up feeling refreshed and without any aches or stiffness-a testament to the high-quality craftsmanship and innovative materials used. The mattress also feels incredibly durable and well-made, with a sturdy construction that promises
Very Very comfortable mattres. My job is driving 9-10 hours a day so this helps repair the damage to my back.
We fell in love with this mattress as soon as we tested it in the shop. It's very comfortable and we've both slept solidly every night since it arrived. It appears very well made. We highly recommend the iGel NanoTech 4000i Plushtop Mattress.
Great mattress, which is very comfortable. The 5 year guarantee provides that assurance, when purchasing a mattress.
Our whole experience with this purchase was second to none. From the very friendly and helpful purchase. The Communication in regards to delivery. To the friendliness and helpfulness of the delivery drivers. We are very happy with the product Couldn't fault the whole experience. If only other experiences was as seamless as this. Very impressed.
Excellent mattress. Sleep quality has improved. Worth every penny!!
Really helpful sales rep in Epping. The mattress is very good quality, supportive and soft, which is hard to find. I'm a little light side sleeper and a M 4000 seems fine. I worried about shoulder bruises but I don't get that at all. Recommend.
Mattress appears comfortable but wouldn't have bought it had we known that it needs to be turned every week as it is very heavy
