About the TheraPur ActiGel® Glacier 4800 Combination Mattress

Last checked

There's nothing quite like a comfortable mattress to guarantee a good night's sleep. Therefore, allow me to introduce a potential ticket to your dreamland, the TheraPur ActiGel® Glacier 4800 Combination Mattress. Its characteristics and specifications do indeed scream comfort, but what is it all about? And more importantly, is it suitable for you?

Who is this product for?

People have different needs when it comes to mattress choice. For some, a cloud-like soft is the ultimate comfort, while others prefer a more solid, firm surface to rest on. The TheraPur ActiGel® Glacier 4800 Combination Mattress falls into the latter category. Its firm comfort grade perfectly suits back sleepers and a number of stomach sleepers, offering them requisite support for a good night's sleep. However, if you're a side sleeper or have an hourglass figure, it might prove less agreeable due to its firm tension.

What do we use this product for?

The simple answer would be sleeping, of course. However, the TheraPur ActiGel® Glacier 4800 Combination Mattress engenders more than a mere good night’s sleep. With its ActiGel® foam and PurFibre® layers, the mattress promises a refreshing, cool slumber. Its edge-to-edge foam support maximises the sleeping surface while the quilted, ActiCool® knitted cover aids in temperature regulation, banishing overheating from your sleep worries.

What customers liked and disliked

  • Many customers found their sleep greatly improved after switching to the TheraPur ActiGel® Glacier 4800 Combination Mattress. Quite a few specifically mentioned the comfort it offered alongside its amazing support.
  • Some customers praised its impact on their back problems, providing them with relief from the pain they'd been experiencing.
  • Customers also commended the cool gel, which notably improved their bed's temperature regulation, a welcome feature for those who tend to overheat when sleeping.
  • While many customers found the rotation necessity slightly irksome given the mattress's weight, they nonetheless felt this a minor drawback when weighed against the comfort offered.
  • A few customers expressed dissatisfaction where the perceived lack of clear information on the mattress's specifications was concerned.

Features you should know about

The TheraPur ActiGel® Glacier 4800 Combination Mattress is one not short on impressive features. The Actigel® foam provides a cooling and refreshing surface to sleep on, perfectly coupled with the ActiCool® knitted cover. Its PurFibre® layers provide enriched support and comfort, while the edge-to-edge foam inclusion ensures you can sprawl without worrying about rolling out of bed. The mattress is single-sided, made in the UK, and accompanies a 10-year guarantee, ensuring long-lasting quality and comfort.

Our Review

Having delved into the TheraPur ActiGel® Glacier 4800 Combination Mattress, I can soundly say it's a commendable sleeping asset. The myriad of advanced features tailored towards proffering a comfortable and refreshing sleep experience makes it an attractive choice for anyone seeking a firm mattress. Its innovative ActiGel® technology, along with its PurFibre® layers and edge-to-edge foam insertion, presents an all-rounded mattress that successfully caters to the thrill of good sleep. Customer reviews reinforce its impressiveness, with countless testimonials praising its comfort, support, and cooling abilities. Granted, a minuscule number of customers did report drawbacks, the weight and the need for rotation being the main ones. However, comfort and customer service greatly outweighed the cons, and I believe the TheraPur ActiGel® Glacier 4800 Combination Mattress to be a sound investment for those seeking a firm, supportive, and technologically advanced mattress.

Specifications

Manufacturer specifications without the jargon, easy to scan and compare.

Enhanced edge support increases your sleep space

The benefit of enhanced edge support is two-fold. Firstly, it enables an experience of consistency in comfort and firmness across the entire surface area, making every bit of the mattress usable without any fear of roll-off. Secondly, this feature strengthens the overall durability and life span of the mattress, proving a solid investment for long-term use without succumbing to sagging prematurely.


Fully hypoallergenic finish

With a fully hypoallergenic finish, users can rest assured that their slumbers will be undisturbed by common allergens such as dust mites and mould, fostering a cleaner and healthier sleep environment. Unlike conventional options, this attribute caters to individuals with specific sensitivities and allergies, enabling uninterrupted, rejuvenating rest throughout the night.


Quilted and layered with cooling ActiGel® foam

Layering with cooling ActiGel® foam translates into a sleep experience that maintains the perfect temperature balance, which prevents over-heating and further fosters uninterrupted rest. Moreover, the quilted design ensures a plush, luxurious feel that accompanies this innovative technology, promising both comfort and science in every night's sleep.


Bouncy PurFibre® adds comfort and support

Embracing the revolutionary Bouncy PurFibre® technology, it enhances an individual's sleep experience by providing the perfect balance of plush comfort and steadfast support. Significantly, this addition can be seen as a boon, primarily because of its dual contributions in promoting better posture during sleep and enriching overall relaxation.


Rest easy with a 10-year guarantee

10 years of guarantee is the highest we typically see within the industry and a testament to the sheer quality on offer. It speaks volumes that the manufacturer and retailer are willing to offer this length of guarantee and should inspire consumer confidence toward purchase. Typical guarantees are 1 year.


Refreshing knitted ActiCool® cover

The inclusion of a Refreshing Knitted ActiCool® cover ensures optimal ventilation for a tranquil sleep environment. It allows for significant body heat dissipation, elevating your comfort and promoting uninterrupted rest.


Firm comfort grade

A firm comfort grade mattress is a great choice primarily for back sleepers. This is because a firmer surface provides adequate support to the spine, maintaining its natural alignment and reducing the risk of back pain.


Made in the UK

This 100% UK made product is the perfect choice for a home with a sense of individuality. Sleep in comfort with the knowledge that you'll waking up refreshed and ready for another day.


Comes with our 100-Night Comfort Guarantee

If for any reason it doesn't meet your needs, you have the assurance of the guarantee to fall back on. It's a risk-free commitment to your comfort and satisfaction.


Single-sided

Unlike double-sided mattresses that require flipping, a single-sided mattress only needs to be rotated periodically, making maintenance easier.



Frequently Asked Questions For The TheraPur ActiGel® Glacier 4800 Combination Mattress

The questions below are the most common ones BedBoy readers ask when comparing products in this category. Contact the editorial team with a different question, quoting 131-01086 in the subject line.

Some customers have mentioned the need for deep fitted sheets to accommodate the thickness of this mattress. So, investing in deeper sheets might be beneficial to ensure a snug fit.
There have been mixed reviews regarding the longevity of this mattress. Some have marked it high for durability while others have had issues with the mattress developing indentations. It's important to note that usage and body weight are factors influencing the lifespan of a mattress.
The ActiGel foam is engineered to offer temperature regulation. It promotes airflow throughout the mattress, helping maintain an optimal sleep temperature. However, some people have found this function less effective over time, as per their reviews.
This mattress is finished with a fully hypoallergenic layer which aims to protect against allergens. However, the effectiveness of this finish may vary from person to person depending on their sensitivity to allergens.
This mattress primarily suits back sleepers given its firm comfort grade.

However, for those who sleep on their backs, this might be a suitable option. Thanks, Giselle

Been sleeping on this TP ActiGel Glacier 4800 for a couple of weeks and it feels properly firm, which has helped my back feel steadier in the mornings. It sleeps a bit cooler than my old one and the edges dont dip when you sit on them. It is a heavy thing to turn, but once its down it stays put and does the job.

The 1st mattress delivered had a defect where all the pillow top had bunched up down the middle of the bed giving it a 70mm peak at the highest point. When i contacted dreams after delivery they agreed to send a replacement matress as soon as possible without any argument, great customer service. When the replacement mattress arrived it was exactly as seen in the showroom, and is really comfortable.

The gel top layer really makes a difference. It was 28degrees and it helped me cool-down faster. The springs setup really help support my back.

Tried several out in store and went for this one, super comfortable and supportive. Rated firm but feels more like medium / firm due to the built in topper. Would highly recommend
