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

Specifications
Manufacturer specifications without the jargon, easy to scan and compare.
iPure™ – our cleanest formula foams and fibres, now with new BioGel™, made from 25% renewable plant extract and increased recycled PET fibre content (70%)
The inclusion of iPure™ technology in this specification suggests the use of highly clean and eco-friendly materials, encompassing BioGel™, which derives a quarter of its composition from renewable plant extracts. Furthermore, with a substantial 70% of its fibre content being recycled PET, there's a distinct focus on sustainability without compromising on comfort or performance.
FreshNow™ – the combination of iGel™ foam and tencel cover fibres aid moisture control for a fresher sleep environment
Balancing temperature while asleep, the FreshNow™ technology cleverly mitigates an overheated slumber utilising its innovative iGel™ foam component. In co-operation with Tencel cover fibres, these features work in sync providing superior moisture control, granting an always-fresh, comfortable, and conducive environment for a restful night's sleep.
iGel™ NanoTech Intelligent Temperature Regulation – proven to absorb, store and release heat, helps you to sleep not too hot, not too cold, just right!
Having this innovative feature means you'll be able to have a consistent sleeping environment, which can significantly improve your sleep quality. It strives to masterfully balance your body temperature throughout the night so your sleep cycle isn't interrupted by feelings of either being too hot or too cold.
In partnership with the BCA (British Chiropractic Association) – developing healthy body support with the largest and longest established association for Chiropractors in the United Kingdom
Partnership with the BCA represents a commitment to superior body alignment and anatomically correct support while you sleep. Therefore, it implies enhanced spine health, leading to improved sleep quality and reduced bodily discomfort, which, in turn, can contribute towards overall well-being.
Soothing and supportive pressure relief – iGel™ foam for gentle relief of excess pressure teamed with Gel crystals for advanced support, for ease of movement
Incorporating both pressure relief and advanced support mechanisms, this specific feature ensures you experience minimal discomfort while sleeping. The synergistic use of these technologies can enhance your ease of movement during sleep, aiming for a serene and restful night.
Opulent Supersoft quilted cover – luxuriously soft and breathable, with chemical- free fire retardancy and an iconic centre panel design
This opulent supersoft quilted cover provides luxury through enhanced comfort, giving an edge to your sleeping experience. Its unique chemical-free fire retardancy offers peace of mind while the iconic centre panel design adds a touch of elegance to your bedroom aesthetics.
Easy care – no turn mattress, simply rotate regularly, in line with the care guide instructions
Rotation shifts shoulder and hip pressure onto less-used areas. The lower face stays against the base, though you'll need room and grip to spin it on schedule, since missed rotations can leave body impressions forming sooner.
4000 Dual Layer Pocket springs – combination of mini springs and full height pocket springs, which adapt individually to body movement, for exceptional responsive support and comfort
Stacked pocket springs compress in separate layers, helping your upper body and hips settle while the lower layer keeps heavier areas from dropping too far. Spring count alone doesn't tell you how firm the mattress is.
Free 10 Year Guarantee – for peace of mind
Fault cover gives you a route to repair or replacement if manufacturing defects appear after delivery, reducing the risk of paying again for the same issue. Every claim will need the seller's terms to back it.
Exclusive iGel™ NanoTech Graphene Technology (60mm) – 12 x times faster heat transfer than standard memory foam – only available at Bensons for Beds
Heat-spreading gel under the cover pulls warmth away from your body, while the surface should build up less heat during the first part of the night. Hot sleepers may need breathable bedding and a cooler room.
Comfort choice – Soft and Medium and Firm
Mattress tension changes how far the surface yields under shoulders and hips, because different body weights load the springs differently. Sharp hips may prefer extra cushioning over a harder surface.
Luxuriously indulgent plushtop layer – for ultimate levels of surface comfort
This plush top layer encapsulates an opulent experience, promising sublime surface comfort. The illustrious blend of indulgence and comfort is ideal for those who crave a sumptuous sleep experience.
AdvantEdge™ edge support – for added durability, reduces roll-off, and optimises the sleep surface to the edge of the mattress
AdvantEdge™ edge support enhances mattress longevity while preventing unexpected roll-offs. It maximises overall sleeping surfaces, allowing optimal utilisation up to the very edge of the mattress.
Mattress height – 34cm
Deep sides put the top panel higher above the base, easing access for some sleepers while asking for deeper fitted sheets. Low headboards can disappear behind the thicker edge.
MTick accredited menopause-friendly mattress – endorsed by GenM, the independent menopause partner for brands, for helping to alleviate night sweats, one of the 48 signs of menopause.
Sweat-prone nights should feel cooler because the cover moves heat and moisture away from your body before it feels clammy. Hot flushes can wake you anyway.
