About the Simply Support Foam Pocket Sprung Mattress
Last checked
A foam-and-pocket-spring construction puts the Simply Support Foam Pocket Sprung Mattress in familiar UK mainstream territory: a foam comfort surface for cushioning, with pocket springs underneath doing the job of separating movement and giving each part of the body a little more independent response than a traditional open-coil unit. Its feel is medium, 3 of 5, so the build is aimed more at everyday cushioning than pronounced orthopaedic firmness. It is a mainstream recipe. The spec call here is conservative rather than flashy: foam over pocket springs is a credible, fair construction for this kind of support mattress, but it is not the plusher proposition found in memory-foam hybrids or latex-topped pocket-sprung beds, where the comfort layer usually gives a slower, deeper cradle. Under load, the spring unit should stop the whole surface moving as one sheet, while the foam softens the initial contact at shoulders and hips; that combination is why a medium pocket mattress can feel supportive without feeling hard. Day to day, that means less “board-like” resistance than a firm back-care model, and less enveloping sink than a deep foam hybrid. The title promises support rather than luxury, and the construction backs that up: simple cushioning, responsive springs and a balanced feel, not a specialist mattress for pressure relief or heavy-duty firmness.
The foam surface and medium spring support make most sense for side sleepers and average-weight sleepers who want enough give at the shoulder without dropping into a very soft mattress. The comfort signal is fairly consistent. Praise tends to centre on the mattress feeling comfortable quickly, with several buyers describing it as neither too hard nor too soft, and the “soft but supportive” theme matches what the build suggests: foam for first-contact comfort, pockets for the support underneath. Back sleepers in the average-weight range may still get on with it, especially if they dislike hard mattresses, but the customer pattern is not entirely clean here; one of the more critical comments mentions waking with a stiff back, while another notes an adjustment period after moving from a softer old mattress. That is not a widespread failure signal, but it does show the medium feel will not suit every spine, particularly where stronger lumbar hold is needed. For couples, the pocket-sprung core is the more reassuring part of the spec, as it should limit partner disturbance better than open-coil mattresses, although there is no customer pattern around edge strength or very different body weights to lean on. This lands well for a side sleeper, a child’s bed or a spare-room mattress where balanced comfort matters more than luxury depth; heavier back sleepers, and anyone already prone to morning lower-back stiffness, are safer comparing firmer pocket-sprung mattresses or denser hybrid builds in the next support tier.

Good basic mattress for our daughter - she has got used to it quickly and reports it to be comfortable.
Love my new mattress, very comfy not too hard or soft
Excellent price and quality highly recommend and excellent customer service
Very comfortable mattress from the first night. It feels soft but supportive.
Very happy with my new mattress. It took a while to get used to it as my previous one was probably too soft! Delivery was problem free and I was advised how to look after the mattress. I would recommend buying from Bensons again in the future if need be.
Way better than expected, very comfortable. Going to buy another one hope it'll be on sale again.
Husband thinks its amazing however, I often feel like my back is stiff when I wake. Given 4 stars because despite my aching back its definitely better than the last one we had
Good firm mattress. 6 year old Daughter loves it. She said she has good night sleep. Delivery was prompt and they took it upstairs to bedroom which made it easier for me. Overall good experience. Hope it lasts. Have previously bought wardrobe and beds from bensons and never disappointed. Long lasting products. Also was well packaged
Very comfortable mattress, great quality and excellent value!
Super comfy mattress and very stylish bed frame. Looks great.
