The combination of 800 pocket springs, ActiGel® foam, and PurFibre® layers provides a harmonised support system that caters to different body shapes and sizes.
The ActiGel® foam layer is sensitive to pressure and immediately adjusts to your body shape, delivering targeted relief for various parts of your body.
The mattress features Proactive probiotic technology, which helps inhibit the growth of dust mites and bacteria, providing a cleaner sleep environment that's ideal for allergy sufferers.
Despite the ActiCool® cover and the breathable structure of the ActiGel® foam, some individuals might find the mattress still retains more heat than natural wool alternatives although not by a considerable amount.
With 800 pocket springs, it has a lower count compared to some other mattresses, which could affect the level of support for some sleepers, particularly those of a heavier weight who rely on the springs to work against the contours of their body to create resistance.

If you are looking for a mattress that can keep you cool, comfortable and supported throughout the night, you might want to check out the TheraPur ActiGel® Polar 800 Mattress from Dreams. This is a medium mattress that combines pocket springs, ActiGel® foam and PurFibre® layers to create a sleeping surface that adapts to your body shape and temperature. In this blog post, I will share with you my honest review of this mattress and why I think it is worth considering.
First of all, let me tell you about the construction of this mattress. It has a total depth of 24 cm and consists of four layers:
The top layer is a quilted cover that is soft and breathable. It also features Adaptive® technology that helps regulate your body temperature by wicking away moisture and heat.
The second layer is 2 cm of ActiGel® foam, which is a unique material that has gel beads embedded in it. This layer provides pressure relief, support and cooling effect by absorbing excess heat and distributing it evenly across the mattress.
The third layer is 2 cm of PurFibre® foam, which is a high-density foam that adds extra comfort and resilience to the mattress. It also enhances air circulation and reduces allergens.
The bottom layer is 18 cm of pocket springs, which are individually wrapped coils that move independently from each other. This layer offers tailored support for your spine alignment and reduces motion transfer between partners.
One of the main benefits of this mattress is its cooling ability. As someone who tends to sleep hot, I really appreciate how this mattress keeps me feeling fresh and comfortable throughout the night. The ActiGel® foam does a great job of dissipating heat away from my body, while the Adaptive® cover helps me stay dry and cool. I also like how the pocket springs allow air to flow freely through the mattress, creating a breathable environment.
Another benefit of this mattress is its comfort level. I find this mattress to be medium-firm on the firmness scale, which suits my preference as a back sleeper. I feel well-supported by the pocket springs, which contour to my body shape and distribute my weight evenly. I also enjoy the cushioning effect of the ActiGel® foam and PurFibre® foam layers, which relieve pressure points on my shoulders, hips and knees. The mattress feels soft but not too soft, firm but not too firm.
The only downside of this mattress that I can think of is its weight. This mattress weighs around 36 kg for a double size (135 x 190 cm), which makes it quite heavy to lift or move around. You might need some help when setting up or rotating this mattress (which should be done every six weeks for even wear). However, this also means that this mattress is durable and sturdy.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase of the TheraPur ActiGel® Polar 800 Mattress from Dreams . It has improved my sleep quality by keeping me cool, comfortable and supported throughout the night. It has also reduced my back pain by aligning my spine properly. If you are looking for a similar experience, I would highly recommend giving this mattress a try . You can order it online or visit one of their stores to test it out yourself.

Here is what people thought who have had a chance to try the product.
5 - Very satisfied with my purchase, Therapur mattress is absolutely the best! Very comfortable for my back and finally I am having peaceful nights and improve my rest. The service (delivery/customer service) it was excellent. I highly recommend.
5 - The mattress is great and the gel makes it cool and refreshing. The choice was not easy with so many mattresses, but the sleeping match system has helped us a lot in the final decision. Recommended to everyone looking for a medium mattress.
5 - Best bed ever!! The name kinda scared me as I am one that is always cold at night I didn’t want a mattress that would make me cold too. This bed has helped me sleep through the night and controls my body temp. Couldn’t want anything else.
3 - Reasonably comfortable, but if you get too near the edge it will tip you out, as there is little support there. It also smells for the first few days and it doesn't keep you as cool as the advertising suggests. Underwhelmed for the money.
5 - Very happy with this mattress. It is extremely comfortable and fits the base of a single bed well, even though the base was based on imperial measures (i.e pre- decimalisation). The price was fair and Dreams did everything very well.
5 - Decided to change mattress as one I had kept me hot. This one, not only cool, but comfortable as well. Not heavy, easy to turn. Realy good decision on my part. Salesperson was also a factor. Allthough relatively young, new his onions.
5 - I bought this a month ago and I am really happy with the purchase. It’s very comfortable to sleep on good for the back and neck which is what I was looking for considering my work. I would highly recommend this mattress and bed too.
5 - Best night's sleep ever. This mattress is so comfortable and supports me during sleep. No more aching back. My partner is not so keen. She feels that because the edges curve down rather than being flat, she might fall out of bed.
3 - Had for 3 weeks and very comfy. Disappointed to find a hole on the top of the mattress but due to buying it on sale (advised it was marked only) dreams would not do anything which is highly disappointing. Still a very good mattress.
5 - Extremely happy with this mattress, very comfortable It has no topper which I have found to be the best idea as last mattress had a topper which buckled up on one side and made it uncomfortable. New mattress, so far, s excellent
4 - We bought this mattress and have had it for a few weeks now. I can easily say the best mattress i’ve slept on, so comfy, it’s firm enough to not feel each other move but soft enough to feel like you’re on clouds! Worth every penny.
5 - This mattress is a God send! I don’t think ive ever had such a comfortable sleep! Have been sleeping solidly since I’ve had this bed instead of feeling fidgety and waking up uncomfortable in the old bed. Amazing! Thank you Dreams!
5 - We really enjoy this matress. The balance is perfect, not to firm and not to soft. I don't feel uncomfortable even you sleep on side for the entire night. I always have a good sleep on this matress. l truly recommend this matress.
5 - This mattress is exceptionally comfortable & has eased my back pain tremendously, I would highly recommend the dreams matress experience to others & instore I would recommend using the bed to check what type of matress you need
5 - Bed is super comfortable and was delivered with care. The guys that dropped it off wore masks and shoe coverings and helped me bring the mattress upstairs. Super friendly guys. No issues with the mattress since. Absolute bargain.
4 - We bought this to replace an 8 year old mattress which has seen better days. After trying several mattresses in the shop we decided on this one. It's much firmer than our previous but allows for comfortable side and back sleeping
5 - I bought this about 6 weeks ago and I’m really happy with my purchase. One of the most comfortable mattresses I’ve slept on, and the fact that it doesn’t retain heat has been really helpful with the hot weather we’ve had lately.
5 - I bought this new mattress a month ago and have been really pleased with the quality, I’ve settled into it and had no issues. It feels really good quality. The team were quick and helpful in store and in delivery and COVID safe.
5 - I absolutely love my new mattress, my back feels so much better and ive been sleeping like a log. Using the perfect sleep matching machine has been brilliant. I would recommend this mattress to anyone wanting a medium firmness.
5 - The mattress was a real good buy; Real comfy however I lie! My painful legs are somewhat eased, So you can guess I'm real well pleased....... If I continue to be at rest, Then the mattress could be the best!sweet comfort
5 - I have only had the mattress a few weeks but am sleeping straight through the night. No aches or pains when waking. I thought it might have been a bit firmer,as the one in the shop seemed to be,but this isn’t an issue for me.
5 - First I was very impressed, with the delivery and collection of the old mattress. The young man who delivered, it to my room was so helpful and also taking a very heavy, older one out without any assistance. I was impressed
5 - I'm so happy I chose this mattress, it's super comfy. I always look forward to getting into bed after a night shift. I do suffer with a back problem and I must say this mattress soothes it at night. I definitely recommend it.
5 - I bought this mattress about 3 weeks ago and it was a great purchase. Really comfortable and good quality. My visit to the store was also very good, with lots of help regarding my decision for the type of mattress I needed.
5 - I bought this 1 month ago and still get that lovely feeling of a new bed when I lay down. It was picked by the dreams sleep machine as one to look at and both my wife and I loved it. To make it even better it was in a sale.
5 - Weve found this matress incredibly comfortable. The wife is in that time of life and is finding it lovely and cooling. Her tossing and turning isnt bothering me so it must be a very forgiving texture. 100% woukd recommend
3 - I bought this mattress a month ago- very comfortable but despite rotating weekly it has 2 very noticeable dips despite us only weighing approx 10 stone each. I am worried that this mattress will only last 1-2 years maximum!
5 - Great medium grade comfort for those who don't want something too firm or soft. Tried it in-store first and decided very quickly that this would suit us. I look forward to feeling the benefits of the cooling in the summer.
5 - Had this mattress based on the sleep match machine in store, I would definitely recommend using that to select your mattress. Felt very firm when it arrived but not I have been using it for a couple of weeks it is perfect
5 - The mattress I purchased for my daughter has been amazing so far she's not been waking up with a bad back or hip with her old mattress she was and she is finding this one so comfortable and cool to she couldn't be happier
5 - Great mattress. It’s really comfortable but still supportive and doesn’t feel like you’re sinking into it. It really does keep us cooler during the night as well. The staff in the Chelmsford store were also very helpful.
5 - Always purchased Dream Mattresses, and this time, again, not been disappointed. Staff take time for buyers to find the right mattress for their comfort, and the 40 day return policy shows their confidence in the product
4 - It is a very comfy mattress! If we could fit a bigger one in our room that would be even better but it’s much more supportive and comfortable than our old mattress. Not too hot either. Definitely recommend the mattress.
4 - Great customer service when entering the shop. Really helpful advice on using the sleep match on finding the most appropriate mattress for me. Comfortable mattress, quick delivery in helping getting a good nights sleep.
5 - I needed a new mattress and the soft cooling gel made my choice so much easier. Getting into a refreshing cool bed is the best feeling. The mattress gives so much support around my back I no longer wake to a back ache.
4 - Excellent mattress but too soft and bouncy for us, so having to change. Probably perfect for someone else though, and EXCELLENT service and help throughout by the Dreams York team and online/via the phone, many thanks.
5 - From entering the store to leaving it, we were very welcomed by David who really looked after us and delightfully answered all our questions about different bed styles & matterass. He even offered us water and coffee.
5 - Had this mattress nearly a month now, wasn’t looking forward to getting used to a new mattress but from first night this has been great, just wish we’d purchased it sooner. Highly recommend for service & delivery.
5 - I haven’t been able to fall asleep or indeed have any quality sleep for the last 10 + years. I recently splashed out on a new dreams mattress and I can’t believe how easily and how deep I’m sleeping - fantastic!
5 - Bought this with the ottamon bed base. Only had it 2 weeks but much more comfy than the Simba one I bought and sent back. Does seem to be cooler than mattresses I have had before. Very pleased with both purchases

5 - The team were so helpful, they showed us everything we needed and really supported us throughout the buying process. Their delivery availability was good and the bed was delivered on time and assembled quickly.
5 - The product is very comfortable. Reasonably easy to assemble with 2 people. Service at Dreams was perfect both In store and at point of delivery. The delivery drivers took off their shoes when going up stairs!
5 - A firm and supportive mattress, Very comfortable for a side sleeper such as myself. It keeps me cool throughout the night and as someone who loves to snooze into the afternoon, it has elongated my time asleep!
5 - Lovely mattress only two weeks in and feel like its been here for ages. Medium sprung. Feel like i have slept properly for a long time. Cooling properties work as well. This is my second mattress. Love them.
5 - I've had the mattress for almost a month now & I'm very happy with it. I didn't realise how much I needed a new one until I slept on this! It's very comfortable & my back pain has improved almost immediately.

5 - It’s been 4 weeks since I bought this mattress and it’s the best 4 weeks sleep I’ve have for years , so comfy but with just the right amount of support too , I actually think my backache has improved too
5 - Really comfortable mattress. I used to wake during the night because I was always too hot, but since getting this ActiGel mattress, I sleep right through until my alarm goes off, so happy with my choice.
5 - Since I got this mattress the quality of sleep I'm getting is awesome. This is definitely a great investment - invest on a mattress equals a better quality life, as you feel recover after a good sleep
5 - I debated for a while whether to get this bed as it was slightly more expensive than normal, but I’m very pleased I went for it in the end! I haven’t had a bad nights sleep since. It’s very comfortable!
5 - A few weeks after buying, we still look forward to going to bed (and consequently hate getting up!). The mattress has a great mix of a medium-firm support and the gel layer which adds a bit of cushion.
5 - I bought this mattress for my son 3 weeks ago, he states that it is comfortable, he wakes up without any aches to his back and shoulders he's exceptionally satisfied with the therapur actigel mattress
5 - We took the advise of the sales assistant and tested which matress was best for both mine and my partners needs. It is very comfy and we have had nothing but fantastic nights sleep since we bought it
5 - We've had this mattress just over 2 weeks and so far so good! No complaints from other half. I sometimes wake up with sore back but suspect it is the pillow's fault. No problems with delivery at all.
5 - We bought this a month ago and can honestly say this is by far the best mattress ever!! My husband and I sleep so soundly and find it hard to get out of bed in the morning Five star all the way !!
5 - Although it is a Medium mattress it has enough hold so your not moving if your partner rolls over or gets in and out but just enough give in the top layer to support the bidy in all the right places.
5 - I bought this mattress just under a month ago. I adapted to it very quickly and it’s easily the most comfortable mattress I have ever had. Has helped my sleep enormously. Would definitely recommend.
5 - The mattress was the most important part in my purchase . I have serious back issues ( 5 operations ) and this mattresss was a blessing to my back . Sleeping soooo much better now . Great Mattress .
5 - Such an improvement on my previous mattress. My only comment is that the sides are a bit floppy so, if you sleep too close to the edge, you are likely to fall out (as both me and my husband have!)
5 - Matress is now 3 weeks old and It is so comfortable, especially as I suffer bad problens. I now sleep right through the night and wake up feeling refreshed. Would definitely recommend this matress.
5 - Really comfy, right level of firm vs bouncy, not too hot or cold. We bought as we already had a TheraPur Rejuvenate mattress and this said it was the new version of that. We were not disappointed
4 - Needed a new mattress, well overdue. Prompted by a family member who f ound my old one uncomfortable. Aided by recent advertising and on a wet miserable day set off to your showroom at Seafield.
5 - I currently work shifts and my sleep pattern is all over the place. What an amazing mattress. I’ve been getting a much better nights sleep since I bought this, I’m so happy and worth every penny

5 - Since we purchased this amazing mattress, we are having the best sleep ever. Thanks to the Dreams staff who were brilliant and the new technology which showed what mattress we should go for.

3 - We were paired with this mattress using the in store machine but unfortunately was only comfortable for me and not my partner. Still a very comfortable mattress if it's the right one for you
5 - This mattress is amazing, the cooling gel layer makes all the difference if you overheat at night like I do! It's also very supportive without being too firm, no backache for me any longer.
5 - Great mattress, have slept alot better since having it (back pain). Would definitely recommend. Our advisor/sales man was fantastic, full of helpful information and wasnt pushy like others.
5 - So pleased with the new mattress. Usually you have to have to give it a couple of months to soften the mattress for a good nights sleep but I pleased to say it hasn't happened in this case.
4 - It took a couple of days to get used to the mattress but it seems pretty good so far after two weeks use. Was advised to turn it every week for the first 6 months which seems like a chore!
5 - Good experience. Loved the 'computer bed' to work out the best mattress. Very comfortable. Delivery men were extremely helpful, especially as quite a heavy mattress and I'm no youngster!!
4 - The soft gel is great, overall its a soft bed that still has the firmness we wanted. The only drawback for us is that the soft gel warms up rather quickly, but it cools down just as fast.
5 - They were all so helpful in store and helped us pick out the perfect bed. The bed is so comfortable and they dilvered it to our door and on time and the exact date we wanted. Thank you.
5 - We researched several different makes of mattresses but after being recommended the Therapur we bought one and we are so glad we did. It is so comfortable and well made would recommend.
5 - From a person who over heats at night and also has a ‘VERY’ active life the mattress has been brilliant, super comfortable and provides support to parts of the body which need it most.
5 - Really happy with the mattress. Felt harder then the one in the shop but a quick call and was informed it will take a bit of time for the springs to settle and is now very comfortable!
4 - I bought this just over 3 weeks ago, have had some of the best nights sleep. I tried so many mattresses in the shop but this was by far the most suitable for us. Reasonably priced too.
5 - Over all very pleased with the purchase, and the sleeping experience im now enjoying. Customer service was excellent and James ( falkirk) was very knowledgeable and informative !!
5 - Got this mattress delivered 3 weeks ago, the best sleeps I have had in the last 3 years, old dreams mattress was only 4 years old but was never as comfortable as this new Dreams one.
4 - Bought this a while ago and took several weeks for delivery which was fine. Bed is nice, delivery chaps were good and took it up to the room of an upstairs flat which was appreciated.
4 - Have slept on this mattress for two weeks now and it’s extremely comfortable. We chose a medium type mattress as it’s not too soft and not too firm, exactly what I needed for my back.
4 - Great Mattress, so easy to move around the bed and doesn’t feel particularly heavy at all. Downside is that when it arrived it did smell for a solid week before it finally went away.
5 - Really comfy mattress, perfect for my bad back and super nice as we have upsized from a standard double. Super quick delivery. Purchased in the sale so even better value for money.
5 - Very comfortable mattress which we would highly recommend. Seems to be good at regulating temperature throughout the night so you don't get too hot. Very pleased with our purchase.
5 - Comfortable mattress & good price. Great customer service, very personable. Machine to see what mattress was best for me is a great idea. Would definitely buy from you again.
5 - Bought this mattress a month ago and i haven't had a bad back since Rebecca was great at the store and the two lads who delivered was great also would recommend Dreams to anyone
3 - It's a really comfy mattress the best I've had, unfortunately it came with some sort of stain on it I am getting a refund so that's good. Would be 5 star if it wasnt for the stain.
5 - We are so pleased with our mattress. Our old one was hard and worn out. The new mattress is so comfortable and softer. We sleep so well on it that we cant wake up in the morning!
5 - Had this mattress for a few weeks now and it's great. Sleeping like a baby! Very comfy, supportive and I adjusted to it straight away on night one. Very pleased with the purchase.
4 - We bought this over a month ago as we needed a new mattress that helped regulate body temperature and didn’t make you too hot. This has been fab and comfy too’ doesn’t disappoint.
A few more options from that customers loved.
