About the Slumberland Response Latex Premium Mattress
Last checked
Latex is the headline material signalled by the Slumberland Response Latex Premium Mattress, with a firm, 5 out of 5 feel on the supplied scale putting it at the top end rather than the safer medium-firm middle. This is an uncompromising firmness label. Compared with softer memory-foam hybrids, the practical promise of latex is faster spring-back and less slow, enveloping sink, so the bed reads as a responsive, held-up surface rather than a pressure-moulding one. “Premium” should not be read as plush in the hotel-pillowtop sense: on the information supplied, the more honest interpretation is firm latex comfort, not deep cushioning. That makes the build direction quite specific. A latex-led firm mattress suits people who dislike being swallowed by foam, but it can feel unforgiving where the body needs deeper give, especially at the shoulder and hip. The buyer pattern broadly matches that split: positive reviews describe the mattress as springy, supportive and a clear improvement on older beds, with one account linking it to reduced morning back ache. Lower-scoring feedback, however, challenges the firmness message sharply, describing a surface that feels much softer and less stable than expected.
Back sleeping is the clearest use-case here, because a firm, responsive surface can keep the pelvis from dropping and maintain a flatter spinal line for people who prefer being held on top of the mattress. The feedback is sharply split. Some couples describe good comfort, plenty of room and little disturbance when a partner turns, which fits the latex idea of quick recovery without the slow drag of dense foam; lower-rated reviews repeatedly describe the opposite, with bounce, roll-together and a jelly-like lack of stability undermining shared sleep. Temperature is mixed too: several positive reviews say the mattress does not make them sweaty, while more critical reports call it hot and say the temperature-control claim did not show up in real use. The firm label also narrows the audience. Side sleepers, particularly those with pronounced shoulders or hourglass proportions, may struggle to get enough sink for pressure relief, even though some buyers find the surface more yielding than expected. A smell complaint appears in one detailed recent account, but the repeated negatives are heat, movement transfer and doubts over support. If you're a back sleeper who likes a buoyant firm surface, this works. If you're a side sleeper, heat-sensitive, or need strong motion isolation, a softer zoned pocket-sprung mattress or higher-spec latex hybrid makes more sense.

Absalutely thrilled with this mattress. So comfortable. Doesn't sweat you. Couldn't be happier.
The mattress is very comfortable but the smell of the fire retardent product on it was overpowering and gave me a headache. I have changed it for a more eco friendly non-chemical mattress, which is much better.
Honestly perfect - ordered online and it was so simple
Wish we had changed the mattress sooner! This mattress is springy but supportive, massive improvement on our old mattress. It is soft yet firm enough that I do not feel my partner moving. We put up with an mattress which was too firm for too long and finally I can sleep comfortably
Our new bed is so comfortable and cool we particularly like the way it is pressure relieving.We have found that we are less prone to aches on a morning as well. So win win
It's a very nice very thick mattress but I wake up with a lot of hip and back pain (due to spinal stenosis) that I didn't have with my previous mattress
I brought the medium mattress as I was having problems with my firm mattress and my hips. It took a couple of weeks until it was comfortable as it initially caused lower back pain. However after 2 weeks I now find it very comfortable. Feels soft and luxurious. However if your partner moves around a lot you may notice this more when you've been used to a firm mattress before. I also find the mattress warmer due to the topping.
Best mattress ever bought, very comfortable, no longer wake up feeling sore
Incredible mattress! An upgrade was well overdue and since using this one my sleep quality has improved massively. Great service in store and by the delivery service
Lovely mattress providing a smooth firmness. Deep and luxurious.
Really comfortable mattress.Would shops at Bensons again. Great company to deal with.
Needed a change due to a back injury and the staff were great ended up with this mattress and it's great to manage a full nights sleep. Highly recommend
I told you right at the beginning that it is alot higher than I expected, I cannot touch the floor when I sit on it, this bothers me as I am 81 and actually worry about falling off, is there anything you can do.
A nice comfortable mattress that is not too expensive
Very comfy but a strong smell of latex from the mattress
Initially was a lot squishier than I was expecting - felt more 'medium' in the shop but after having slept in it for a few weeks now, it's very comfortable. Even my grumpy boyfriend says his back is feeling better than sleeping on the old mattress
It is a great mattress and so comfortable. We are very happy with our decision.
So comfy and it has helped reduce the pain I was having in my back. Having the bes nights sleep and awke feel rested and ready for the day.
Extremely comfortable mattress, very happy with the product and service, good value for money
Love it very comfortable, everything I wanted it to be, very happy customer
