About the TheraPur ActiGel® Polar 2800 Combination Mattress
Last checked
Anyone comparing this with a basic sprung mattress is really paying for a layered hybrid build: ActiGel foam, PurFibre, a knitted ActiCool cover, a pillow top and a spring system made from pocket and micro springs. The 2800 headline needs reading carefully. Because the description includes micro springs as well as pocket springs, that number should be treated as a combined spring count, not as 2800 full-height pocket springs doing all the deep support work; micro springs are there to add surface response and pressure relief, while the main pocket unit carries more of the body weight. That is still a more complex build than open-coil mattresses and many simple 1000-pocket models, especially with edge support added to increase usable width for two sleepers. The comfort package is generous in ingredient count, but conservative in natural materials: gel foam and branded fibre aim for bounce, cushioning and temperature control rather than the breathable feel of wool, cotton or latex in higher-price pocket-sprung tiers. The pillow top should make first contact feel plusher, yet the underlying spring stack and reinforced perimeter mean this is not a sink-in all-foam mattress.
ActiGel foam and the knitted cover make the cooling story credible on the spec sheet, and happier accounts describe a comfortable, cool-feeling mattress that feels deep, supportive and workable for couples, including one split super-king account where separate sides reduced disturbance. It suits back sleepers and some side sleepers who like a buoyant pillow-top over firmer spring support, with average-to-heavier bodies more likely to compress the upper layers enough to get the pressure relief the design promises. Firmness is the repeat fault line. Several low-scoring accounts describe delivered models feeling much harder than showroom samples, with shoulder, back, neck or general pain rather than the advertised plush balance. Heat is another place where the marketing and lived use do not always match; one substantial account says the cooling effect was noticeable only when lying directly on the bare mattress, then faded once a protector and normal bedding were added, while happier accounts still found it cooler than expected. There are also isolated concerns about odour and early dipping, but those are less repeated than the firmness mismatch. For sleepers who want a bouncy, deep hybrid with edge support and a cooler initial surface, this is the sensible call. For hot sleepers needing reliable temperature regulation or anyone wanting a softer pressure-relief feel, look at latex-topped pocket-sprung mattresses or a higher-tier breathable hybrid instead.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- ActiGel® layer enhances airflow for a cooler sleep environment.
- Pocket and micro springs adjust individually, reducing partner disturbance effectively.
- Luxurious pillow top layer provides pressure relief for sensitive areas like shoulders.
- Super king zip option allows individual firmness preferences for each side of the bed.
Cons
- Not suitable for those preferring a softer mattress, as it feels firmer than expected.
- Cooling feature may not perform well for every sleeper, leading to discomfort from heat.
- Reported sagging in the middle after a short period of use raises durability concerns.
- Initial strong smell requires airing out, which may be unpleasant for some users.

Gone for the TP ActiGel Polar 2800 and its been a solid upgrade, feeling nicely supportive for sleeping on my back without getting too warm. It did have a bit of a “new mattress” smell at first, but it eased off after a good airing.
Really enjoying the comfort and support this mattress provides. The cooling layer adds a nice touch for a refreshing night's sleep.
This bed is so comfortable, firm but still feels soft to the touch and keeps me cool at night. Ive not slept so well in years.
Awesome mattress. Used the sleep machine thing and it popped up with this one and weve not regretted it. Comfy!
This mattress is so comfortable. I have had several spinal surgeries so I needed a good quality firm mattress. Dreams was ideal for me because I chose it via their in-store sleep match. I've had it now for about 2 weeks and my body is just about used to it. It has a nice cooling ActiGel layer which is really nice. It's nice and supportive, which I needed because I'm a little on the larger size... I highly recommend Dreams if you're looking for a good quality mattress.
Very firm bed and a very deep mattress. My husband is loving it. Im taking a while to adjust, its much firmer than Im used to and ideally would prefer some give. I do find I wake up quite achy. We have the 30-100 day guarantee which gives us piece of mind.
Springs and gel equate to an excellent mattress for battling back pains that plague my partner and I's sleep for years. Coupled with a tempur pillow, we are both loving the supportive, cooling mattress which is earning its keep ten-fold!
Cooling, firm, and better for our back than our old mattress. Some threads loose around the edge though!
Mattress is so firm and comfortable. I needed a firm mattress for my back problems and so glad I chose this one
VERY COMFORTABLE, THE BEST WE HAD SO FAR!! VERY PROFESSIONAL SERVICE, GREAT PEOPLE.
Comfort perfect for relaxation
It is the most comfortable mattress Ive ever slept on
Great mattress, great quality, we already enjoy sleeping on it!
This mattress is amazing. Its like sleeping on clouds. So comfortable all my aches and pains went on the first night.
Dont be fouled on the first 1st week or two, it was hard being adjusted to this as we do love our old bed but boom amazing sleep and the old bed is never missed oh and its feels cool to sleep on the bed too.
Very comfy mattress and now my sweater husband rarely do that again
The mattress is all the money as we say at Greece its worth the and last penny of our money Finally stopped the pains at the back of our waist to me and to my wife Really at mornings when we need to get up for work we wish to have another hour of sleep on this fabulous mattress
Great cooling technology, very comfortable. Very supportive. Great nights sleep.
Good mattress very comfortable although a little deep when you are small.
I have literally had a bad back for years until i got this mattress! Cannot stress enough how much this has changed my life, i wake up feeling great rather than groggy and tired. Its a firm which i was unsure of at first but its crazy how soft it feels, better than any hotel bed i stay in. If you have bad back issues, i recommend this mattress!
