About the Next Day Delivery - TheraPur ActiGel® Polar 1000 Combination Mattress
Last checked
The Polar 1000 makes most sense as a cooling-first hybrid: a 1000-name pocket spring base under ActiGel® foam, recyclable I-Fibre® and Platinum 3D® layers, antibacterial fillings and a knitted ActiCool® cover. The build is cooling-first, not plush-first. A 1000 pocket-spring unit in this type of gel-topped mattress is an honest mainstream specification; compared with higher-count pocket-sprung hybrids, it should give broad individual response and better separation than open-coil mattresses, but not the more intricate contouring associated with denser spring counts. The ActiGel® layer and cool-touch cover are the more distinctive parts of the spec, because they put temperature management ahead of deep cushioning, while the fibre layers add airflow and freshness rather than the slow, enveloping sink of traditional memory foam. The “instant cooling” part is a surface effect from the cover and gel layer, so bedding, room heat and body heat will still influence how long that cool feel lasts overnight. Structurally, this reads as a supportive, ventilated pocket-sprung combination mattress rather than a soft pressure-relief build, and that distinction is important because the spring unit and firmer comfort stack appear to dominate the feel once body weight settles through the top layer.
Hot sleepers who prefer a taut, supportive surface are the clearest match, especially back and front sleepers who want less sink around the hips. Positive reviews repeatedly describe the mattress as comfortable and noticeably cool, with warm sleepers particularly appreciative of the ActiGel® and ActiCool® pairing; one recent winter owner found it performed well in cooler months, while another heat-sensitive buyer found the cooling benefit strong enough to drive satisfaction. Firmness is the dividing line. Several lower-rated reviews say the delivered mattress feels much firmer than the medium expectation, with back ache, disturbed sleep and very little give still being mentioned after six to eight weeks, so the customer signal should outweigh the medium label attached to the sale experience. Side sleepers, lighter bodies and anyone needing shoulder or hip cushioning are therefore the risk group, while heavier sleepers may be more likely to compress the surface into its intended range. Couple compatibility is mixed: pocket springs should reduce partner disturbance better than an open-coil mattress, but one substantial account still describes feeling every movement from a partner, which matters for light sleepers. There is also a recurring early-use caveat around break-in, plus one detailed complaint about a strong chemical smell and another isolated quality-control issue, so durability and finish are not the cleanest part of the feedback. For warm back or front sleepers who like a firmer gel-topped pocket mattress, this is the sensible call. For side sleepers wanting a genuinely medium, cushioned feel or couples highly sensitive to movement, look at softer memory-foam hybrids or the higher-count pocket-sprung tier instead.

The mattress has performed well in the cooler winter months. Cannot rate it's summer performance.
Im often warm so this mattress is perfect for me. I would really recommend it to anyone who gets too hot in bed.
Sales people were patient and helpful. VG delivery date. Delivery people kept us informed of progress. They put the bed together well and advised us on what was needed.
A unique size mattress to fit a small double, very comfy, very well made.. great value.
Very comfortable mattress, well made and the Actigel polar does keep the mattress cool and comfortable
Amazing matress had the best nights sleep in ages. Well worth the money and feelsnlike it will last a ling time
IT MEETS OUR NEEDS AND IS COMFORTABLE. THE MATTRESS IS ALSO LIGHT AND EASY TO MOVE AROUND FOR US TO FIT A FITTED BOTTOM SHEET ON THE BED
Wasnt as comfortable as in the store but Im guessing thats down to the springs being worn in a little bit more. Had a thread coming loose from the moment we unpacked up which Ive been meaning to contact dreams about
Lovely mattress - the 'cool' element is definitely an enhancement
It was great experience throughout, friendly sales lady, quick delivery
Great experience from entering the store right through to having the mattress delivered. Very comfortable mattress. Don't even feel partner move around at night. Would highly recommend
Bought as wasn't sleeping well due to old mattress and what a difference this has made Highly recommend
Very comfortable bed that feels nice and cool to sleep on!
One of the most comfortable mattress we have ever slept on
Very comfortable mattress, firm enough to offer good support
Great mattress. Seemingly mid-range in terms of price and quality. Was a compromise between me and my wife, and were both very happy with it.
When I first walked in I was greeted with open arms and an inviting spirit. I was then given many choices of mattress which were relevant to me and I now sleep on a very comfortable mattress!
Amazing mattress, perfect balance between soft and hard
Very comfy and good quality mattress. Definitely improved our sleep quality. I wish there were some advice about mattress protectors though, as any help with heat regulation has been somewhat stopped by a waterproof mattress protector. The edge of the mattress took a little while to get used to, but once we'd slept on it a couple of nights it soon levelled out.
In store support was excellent when choosing the right mattress. Delivery as promised
