About the Slumberland Flip 2 in 1 Mattress
Last checked
Parents, guest-room buyers and anyone unsure about one fixed feel are the obvious audience for the Slumberland Flip 2 in 1 Mattress, because its proposition is tension choice rather than a disclosed high-end comfort stack. It is medium-firm, 4 out of 5. The useful part is the reversible 2-in-1 layout: one face feels more forgiving, the other firmer, so the mattress can change with a growing child or with shifting comfort preferences. That flexibility is the main feature. A dual-tension design is generous against ordinary single-tension mattresses, but the spec story remains honest rather than luxurious, because there is no stated pocket-spring count, latex layer or zoned support system to put it into the £700-plus technical tier. In practical terms, this reads as a straightforward supportive mattress with a clever flippable feel, not a complex hybrid built around pressure-mapping or deep contouring. Several accounts describe it as thick, solid and weighty, which gives it a substantial presence on the bed base and can help it feel more stable, although it may also lift the overall bed height more than expected when paired with a taller frame.
Side and back sleeping are where the medium-firm feel makes most sense, especially for average-weight sleepers who want support without dropping into a very soft surface. Happier accounts repeatedly describe comfortable sleep, fewer morning aches and a useful preference for the firmer face, while parents also like the idea of turning the mattress as a child grows and needs more support. Edge support gets a positive mention. Pressure relief is the limiting factor. Low-scoring reviews repeatedly describe the mattress as too hard at home, with more than one account saying it felt softer on a display model, so the customer signal is firmer than the “two feels” marketing may suggest for sensitive side sleepers. Hourglass figures and sharper shoulders need more give, because a resistant surface can leave hips and shoulders carrying too much load. Heat feedback is mildly reassuring, with one detailed owner saying it suited a hot-sleeping child, but this should not be read as a specialist cooling build. The other practical drawback is the very feature that makes it appealing: thick, heavy mattresses take effort to flip, and this one is repeatedly described as substantial. If you’re an average-weight back sleeper, a child moving into a more supportive bed or a household wanting two usable feels in one mattress, this works. If you’re a pressure-sensitive side sleeper or cannot manage turning a heavy mattress, a softer memory-foam hybrid or lighter single-sided mattress makes more sense.

Specifications
Manufacturer specifications without the jargon, easy to scan and compare.
Flip to suit your comfort and support – simply flip the mattress to the ideal side for the teen’s individual, weight, height, and sleep requirements
Reversible sides let the teen swap between two sleeping surfaces, changing how much push-back and cushioning they get as their body or sleep style changes. Swapping sides means lifting the full mattress, not just adjusting bedding.
Mattress depth – 28cm
Mattress body raises the sleep surface and adds a taller side panel. Check your bed frame and sheet depth first, because thicker mattresses can make low headboards look shorter and fitted sheets pull tight at the corners.
Adaptable sleep support – specifically designed for growing bodies, pre-teen to adult
Mattress layers spread body weight as a child gets heavier, keeping the surface steadier through growth spurts and reducing the rush to replace it. Very small children may do better on a simpler junior mattress.
Comfort Edge™ - reinforced edge support, for added durability, reduces roll-off, and optimises the sleep surface all the way to the edge of the mattress
Stronger borders keep the sides from dipping, adding usable mattress width. Edge rails can make the perimeter less cushioned than the centre, and side sleepers who sprawl over the edge may notice a harder line.
Outstanding value – literally two mattresses in one
Flip the mattress over and the opposite face changes the surface under your body, letting you swap the bed's response as your comfort changes. Turning it can be awkward, while each side may wear differently.
Firmer side – enhanced support medium/firm, typically from 15yrs/55kg upwards into adulthood
Flipping to this face puts the less compressible surface under the sleeper, keeping heavier growing bodies more level and cutting the hammock-like dip. Smaller children may find this face too resistant.
High resilience foam – for responsive performance and durability, ideal for teens. The open cell structure helps keep them cooler too
Foam rebounds after pressure, and turning over should seem less sluggish. Heat control depends on bedding and room temperature, since foam can hold warmth during hot spells or under heavy protectors.
Truecomfort layer – for cushioning, breathable comfort, composed of 75% recycled PET plastic – that’s over 100 plastic bottles per double Flip mattress!
Bottle-derived fibres form a cushioned pad near the surface, easing sharper contact points while allowing some air to move under your sheet. Warm sleepers shouldn't treat this as active cooling.
Softer side – for body cushioning soft/medium support, typically pre-teens up to around 15yrs/55kg
Padded surface layers compress more readily beneath a lighter child, easing pressure at the hip and arm during side sleeping. Heavier teenagers may bottom out and should use the opposite face.
Free full 8-year guarantee – for peace of mind
Fault cover can reduce the cost of sorting a manufacturing defect. Keep proof of purchase, because claims usually fail if stains, accidental damage or normal softening are treated as defects.
Variable geometry spring – these innovative springs provide different comfort and support on each side of the mattress, ideal for growth development
Springs on opposite faces compress differently, letting a child move from a softer surface to a steadier one after a growth spurt. Parents must remember to turn it as the child gets heavier.
Pro-bio treated fabric – a natural treatment in the fabric, to help prevent allergens
Cover fibres are treated to make allergen build-up harder, meaning sensitive sleepers may notice fewer sniffles or itchy eyes overnight. Regular washing and vacuuming remain part of the job.
Quality assured - British Standard Kitemark™ accredited, and made in the UK
Factory checks put the build under an audit trail, because materials, fire safety and assembly records can be traced closer to source. Comfort and long-term wear remain separate judgements.
Good Housekeeping Institute award winner 2024 – for assured quality
Badge details add no padding or support, yet they point to external checks on the mattress before it reached the listing. Treat it as reassurance, not proof it suits your body.
New life foundation layer – additional, durable support on the firmer side, with 91% recycled fibres, creating future-friendly products by reducing waste
Dense base padding props the upper fillings because extra bulk below the comfort layers reduces dip under your hips. Deep-cushion fans may find it too solid.
Temperature+ treated fabric – helps regulate body temperature and rehydrate the skin whilst you sleep
Treated cover fabric draws heat and moisture away during the night, and may keep your skin less clammy. It won't replace room ventilation or moisturiser.

Love the flip option. The firmer side is the preference but it's good to have the choice. Care instructions are simple
Absolute comfort, really ecstatic with my purchase. The guys that delivered my bed were friendly and very helpful would recommend Bensons for beds to anyone wanting to buy a bed. In store was a pleasant experience as the staff were very knowledgeable about their products without being pushy, also left me to get on and chose once they had armed me with all the information I needed. Will not go anywhere for future beds as the quality is second to none.
I haven't had a proper bed for a few years now (through choice) and this is the first mattress I have ever bought having just bought my first house. This mattress is amazing and I have been having the best nights sleep since getting it. No more aches and pains! I love it!
Not happy the price dropped by £70 a few weeks after it was delivered
No more aches and back pain thankyou grèeeeeeeeeeeeàaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
This mattress is super comfortable for my teenage Son. It is absolutely perfect! He uses it on the soft side at the moment, as advised by the lovely staff in store but next year ( as he gets a bit older) we will turn it to the former side ( which is still VERY comfortable) We struggle to get him out of bed since we bought this mattress. I wouldn't buy any other mattress for my kids now, will be purchasing another one for my younger child soon.
Your product is truly worth it. The mattress would provide my child with a comfortable night's rest. I would give it a 5 star rating, with all the best qualities offered along with it with it.
Its a lovely mattress, comfortable great quality and very nice to sleep on
Great comfortable mattress, perfect for my 11 year old. It was slightly over our initial budget but I'm so glad we opted for this one.
Amazing mattress bought this for my son and he's tried out both sides preferring the firm side but it's great to have the option. Honestly it's so comfortable that I often sneak in - love it!!
Brilliant innovative product I didn't even know existed . Fab delivery and care taken. Can't fault it
This mattress is just perfect! I'm a small adult and it is ideal for me. I find all the new design mattresses with various new fangled tops to be too 'enveloping' whereas this is good old fashioned engineering that does the job. It is extremely comfortable used on either side and I've simply never slept better.
Very good quality mattresses, We bought a king sized and a single. The delivery was very efficient and at the time stated. Very good service from all staff from purchase to delivery.
Very comfortable bed. I'm extremely pleased with it
