About the Simply Natural Pocket Sprung Mattress
Last checked
Back sleepers looking for a supportive, no-nonsense mattress are the natural audience here. The Simply Natural Pocket Sprung Mattress is a traditional pocket-sprung design with a firm, 5 of 5 feel, so its job is posture control rather than deep cushioning. The build makes a clear call. Pocket springs are more responsive than an open-coil unit because each spring can take load separately, but at this tension the surface will still hold the hips high and resist the shoulder-and-hip dip side sleepers usually need. A firm, natural-comfort pocket mattress is an honest, conservative specification: against memory-foam hybrids, it trades contouring and slow sink for easier turning, less of a trapped-in-foam feel and a flatter, more braced line through the spine. The natural-fibre angle is the more interesting note for a simple firm mattress, but it is best read as comfort and breathability padding rather than a promise of plushness; the customer accounts that like it talk about comfort and support, not a soft pillow-top. The more practical limitation is depth perception, because one lower-scoring account challenges the advertised 23cm depth and puts the delivered feel nearer 19cm, making the mattress sound slimmer in the room than its product copy suggests.
Pocket springs and high tension point this firmly towards back sleeping. Positive reviews repeatedly describe a supportive mattress that is comfortable rather than board-like, with several noting improved sleep, easier mornings with back discomfort, and a lighter weight that suits ottoman bases or solo rotation. Side sleepers need more give. The same firmness that keeps a back sleeper level can press into the shoulder and hip, particularly on curvier bodies, and one lower-rated owner only got the surface where they wanted it by adding a 2in memory-foam topper. Breathability looks more promising than on all-foam mattresses, since the pocket-sprung core leaves air space and the natural-fibre comfort story avoids the dense, heat-holding character of cheap memory foam, though there is no strong heat theme either way in the feedback. Couples get the usual pocket-spring advantage over open-coil mattresses: less shared bounce, and one account specifically says it helped both partners sleep, but mismatched firmness preferences will be the bigger issue than motion transfer because this is unapologetically firm. Finish and consistency are the caution points, with lower scores mentioning a cheaper look, an early central crease and the disputed depth claim rather than a collapse in basic support. The Simply Natural suits back sleepers wanting firm, uncomplicated pocket-sprung support; those prioritising plush side-sleeper pressure relief are better served by a medium hybrid or pillow-top pocket-sprung tier.

I am delighted with both the service I received at the Sheffield Bensons shop and also with the bed itself. This is the second time I have bought at Bensons and am looking forward to the wardrobe which I also ordered from them which arrives in a couple of weeks.
I love my bed so comfortable. I would recommend you re beds as l have already done as l am so pleased also the staff was so helpful. Thankyou very much .
Very comfortable bed and good sized small single . Value for money.
Have always used slumberdown mattress's they have always been good quality and comfortable but this new one seemed a bit cheap to look at and felt the same it has already started to get a small crease in the middle if I buy another I think I will shop around first
Great service, communication and product! Would return
This whole new bed is a game changer. I have not slept that good in years. I slept from 7:30pm till 2pm the next day and I don't recall sleeping in till that time, ever!!! Highly recommend
Really impressed with new mattress and the delivery process.
I happily and confidently recommend the Simply pocket sprung mattress. It is medium to firm but is not hard or unyielding, I imagine this is due to the several comforting layers sitting above the springs. I have had the mattress for three weeks now and am getting a good night's sleep and find it easy to get out of bed iñ the morning as my backpain has eased considerably. I have only good words to say about our whole experience with Benson's. From information given to us at the shop, the delivery, product and after service it has been very positive.
Excellent v good v comfortable I just say what I need
ordering simple and effective, prompt service, continual updates, delivered on time and professionally, mattress as stated and extremely comfortable.... just what i needed
Good quality and customer service excellent.all bed and items good quality
Sheer bliss, so comfy, lightweight which is what I wanted with having an ottoman bed
Love the new bed. Reminds me of the bedknobs and broomsticks movie. It's extremely comfortable.
The bed frame is simple but strong easy to assemble the mattress is a 3 which I find comfortable and I think the bamboo seems cooler . I am pleased with my purchase.
Good reasonable priced king sized mattress. Should last me and my wife to the end of days. Bought a 2 inch thick king sized memory foam topper and now we get a lovely night's kip. We had to go old school mattress because our Victorian terrace house has a tight angled steep staircase and the delivery guys were brilliant.
Comfy mattress and I like that it contains natural fibres. Definitely not 23 cm deep as stated though, more like 19 cm.
Everything I had hoped for. Supportive but comfortable and I can manage to rotate them unaided. Replacing a very very firm King size orthopaedic mattress simple because it had become too heavy for me to handle by myself and aging bones asked for a 'softer' surface. Very pleased.
Very pleased indeed, firm enough but retaining comfort. I am sleeping much better.
Extremely comfortable and excellent value for money - fully recommended
So comfy, medium firmness, good price for a quality mattress
