Securing a good night's sleep is undeniably a critical part of our daily lives, not just for recharging our batteries but also for maintaining a healthy mind and body overall. A significant pillar of achieving that perfect slumber is the mattress, and during my career as a mattress reviewer, I've come across several stand-out products in this realm, but truly, few have been as impressive as the Simply Support Pocket Sprung Mattress by Bensons.
In both work and life, first impressions matter. The same applies with mattresses, and from the outset, Simply Support leaves a lasting impression. This pocket-sprung mattress comes with an array of features, and my initial observation was that it seems custom-designed to meet diverse sleep needs, backed up by my testing in-store. However, brands will often go to great lengths to make their products seem appealing, which is why I approach every new product with a healthy dose of scepticism.
Ensconced inside the comfortable 22cm thickness of the Simply Support Mattress are 400 individually responsive pocket springs. These clever coils adjust to your every motion, delivering personalised support to assist you in attaining a serene and uninterrupted overnight rest. Your bedtime experience is further enhanced by the delicate, soft-touch stretch knit cover - a beautiful marriage of style and functionality.
As impressed as I was with the pocket sprung core, the mattress' crowning achievement is the Truecomfort layer. Comprising 75% recycled PET plastic (that's more than 100 plastic bottles in a double mattress!), this layer lends a cushioning, breathable feel to the mattress. While debating the best mattress can often hinge more on subjective sleep preferences than objective data. I personally find this comforting layer innovative and, more importantly, quite comfortable during the in-store testing.
Despite its many strengths, the Simply Support Pocket Sprung Mattress isn't exempt from my criticism. I'm slightly sceptical about the quilted sleep surface. Although it aids in providing a cosy feel, I am concerned about its long-term durability. It's also worth noting that the mattress features mattress edge support to minimise the risk of roll-off, but how this plays out in the longer term would require more extensive testing.
While I have my assessments, it's essential to incorporate the thoughts of actual users. One customer review resonated very much with my experience: "Lovely comfortable mattress bought for my son, he loves this so much we can't get him out of bed!" While this seems like an excellent endorsement on the comfort front, remember, comfort can be quite subjective.
In summary, the Simply Support Mattress appears to offer a comfortable and equally responsible choice. It promises to provide good sleep to a variety of sleepers, specifically side or back sleepers in the 'average weight' category. However, uncomfortable customers or prospect buyers should perhaps seek out a slightly firmer product, especially if they primarily sleep on their backs. As with any sleep product, potential buyers should try it out in store or take advantage of a home trial period to ensure this mattress meets your unique sleep needs and preferences.
On the whole, despite the few niggles, I’m overwhelmingly positive about the Simply Support Pocket Sprung Mattress. Its green credentials and comfort-focus design gave a promising impression, certainly a worthy choice for someone looking to balance comfort, support, and value for their nocturnal investment.
