About the Simply Support Pocket Sprung Mattress
Last checked
The useful promise here is straightforward: a pocket-sprung mattress with a medium, 3 of 5 feel, aimed at everyday comfort rather than a specialist orthopaedic or deep-plush brief. The build is deliberately simple. A pocket spring unit should react spring by spring under load, so it can give more localised support than a linked open-coil unit, especially where hips and shoulders need to sink by different amounts. At this accessible pocket-sprung tier, a medium tension is a safe, broad-market call rather than a precision fit; the support will feel more forgiving than a firm mattress, but the comfort depends heavily on how much upholstery sits above the springs. The strongest composition signal in the feedback is that the padding feels modest: praise clusters around comfort and value, yet the harsher experiences describe feeling the base or the springs through the sleep surface. That does not cancel the pocket-sprung spec, but it narrows what it means in real bedrooms - the springs are doing the main support work, while the comfort build appears comparatively lean for anyone expecting a thick, cushioned top.
Average-weight side sleepers are the easiest match, because the medium tension gives the shoulder and hip more room to settle than a firmer support surface would. Side sleepers get the easier ride. Back sleepers can still get on with it, and sleep improves noticeably for people replacing old, dipped mattresses, but the same medium feel may leave some wanting more resistance through the lower back. Comfort, straightforward value and suitability for children’s rooms or spare beds come up repeatedly, with one family buying multiple singles after the first purchase. Pressure is where the weaker feedback concentrates. A recurring complaint is that the surface can feel too thin over the support system, with hip pain, spring awareness and a hard board-like sensation appearing in the lowest scores; that contradicts the simple comfort promise more than the pocket-spring claim itself. Edge softness is another warning from the longer comments, particularly when sitting on the side of the bed, and rotation may be awkward for one person. The Simply Support suits average-weight side sleepers, older beds being replaced, or lower-use rooms where medium pocket support is enough; heavier bodies, sensitive hips and back sleepers chasing firmer alignment are better matched to a firmer pocket-sprung mattress with deeper upholstery, or the next pocket-hybrid tier.

They indicate dedicated attention to detail, promising a high standard of craftsmanship that undoubtedly extends to the overall design and construction of the sleeping surface.
Comfort choice – Medium or Firm

Opting for Firm represents an ideal selection for those desiring more stability in their resting surface, potentially beneficial for some with specific back or joint concerns.

Good customer service at the York store. Delivery, quick and easy. Comfortable mattress
I helped my 84 year old mum to choose this, after she told me her old mattress was over 20 years old . Being a pensioner she felt it was an expensive decision, but I reminded her she struggles as the mattress dips in the middle of causing her back ache. Now she is so much more comfortable and sleeps well
My daughter loves her new mattress, perfect fit for her new bed. Really comfortable.
The Bed and mattress are great, as was the delivery. The only slight issue is that I believe the mattress was only for a maximum weight of 90kg. This means I can't actually use the bed myself, so sleep elsewhere.
Great would recommend very much, very helpful service
Good value. My son finds it comfortable. Happy with it.
Bought this mattress to go with the hip hop bed. I like a firm mattress and this mattress is just right for me. Happy with purchase.
Great mattress great support pleased with product nice and sturdy well made
Bought 2 of these mattresses for my twin sons new bunkbeds. They are the perfect firmness for the kids and they have loved them so far! Delivery was prompt and the delivery men delivered th mattresses to the room they were needed in.
An extremely comfortable mattress. Firm and supportive but just soft enough. So reasonably priced too! Perfect
Comfortable mattress bought for my 5 year old he loves it, and sleeps so much better. Should have got this sooner.
Helpful in choosing product. Not pushy, which I hate. Product arrived exactly on time.
I finally changed my bed frame after 20 years and got a new mattress as well. I haven't slept this well for a long time and am so pleased. The order was easy online and the two guys who delivered and installed it all were absolutely amazing. They even took apart my old bed as my disability prevented me from managing this myself- they went above and beyond what they needed to do. Was so pleased I treated my daughter to a new bed and mattress from bensons!
Very comfortable great night's sleep knew this before I placed order as tried this in benson store.
Great nights sleep. Delivery was perfect and the gentlemen delivery drivers were nice and helpful. Would use again
With support and comfort being the main reasons for my purchase the mattress is perfect.
