Dunlopillo Mattresses

What makes Dunlopillo different from other mattresses?
Dunlopillo fit at the top end of the market, servicing customers with a unique blend of latex and latex foam mattresses. Unlike many of the cheaper bed-in-box retailers, Dunlopillo utilises full height pocket springs as their main offering which acts as the base and support layer for most mattresses. This type of layer has proved successful for decades and is recognised as the market leader of full body contouring and support for your back and neck while you sleep.
Pocket spring options are not the only options however, depending on model you may also come across what is dubbed “latex core” which is utilised by Dunlopillo as a support layer as well as a comfort layer. This means it is possible to have a mattress derived entirely from latex which makes them fully hypoallergenic and great for those who suffer while they sleep.
Dunlopillo has a focus toward eco-friendly materials and does its bit in order to protect the environment and ensure sustainability and is one of the main benefits of the companies focus toward latex as a comfort layer.
Comfort
Dunlopillo mattresses derive their comfort from soft and breathable covers which work closely with the latex fibre and foam underneath. Where memory foam traditionally causes its users to get too hot, latex is the neutraliser, offering the same sort of feeling of supreme comfort, but without the downside of causing mass sweating and discomfort while sleeping. We at WantMattress rate latex as the best comfort layer available that has mass market appeal and no real downsides other than cost. Provided it fits into your budget, latex is a safe recommendation for many.
Back Pain Relief
The entire Dunlopillow lineup is available in a vast array of different tensions to suit the sleeper but we were particularly impressed by the medium and firm tension offerings. We found that the level of support offered by both the pocket spring and latex core varieties both offered more than enough body contouring to give sufficient support to each area of your body, working hand in hand with the latex comfort layer on top to hug you and pull you deep into the mattress while you sleep. This not only gives you a great night's sleep, but leaves your back feeling sufficiently supported and well rested. As with all back advice, you may want to consult a doctor before purchasing a mattress specifically for back pain, as they will be able to offer more tailored advice.
Pricing
Dunlopillo mattresses fit in the premium end of our lineup and the cost is reflective of that. You can expect to pay north of £1000 for the majority of the range regardless of size preference. This might seem costly but the quality of workmanship and materials actually provides very good value for money. What’s more, you will spend a third of your life sleeping on average, it is in everyone's best interest to begin investing in their sleep. With guarantees of 8 years as standard, the cost per night of sleep actually works out very reasonable and with many of our chosen partners, interest free credit is available to help spread the cost as you see fit.
Cooling
We touched on this briefly before, but latex has naturally cooling properties. This doesn't mean that you will be cold while you sleep, rather, you’ll be kept at a neutral temperature while you sleep. This is really important because getting hot makes you restless, wakes you up, and leaves you in a pool of sweat unable to drift off into sufficient REM sleep. Not only that, getting too warm creates sweat which is unhygienic within a mattress and creates a potential bacteria-laden home for mould and other nasties to flourish. Latex however, like that seen in Dunlopillo mattresses, does not have this problem. Cooling mattresses suit more people and allow people to sleep better, it's the best comfort layer we’ve come across and I cannot recommend it enough.
Customer Reviews
Customer reviews are really impressive with people particularly happy with the sleep they get from the product. Some customers have up to 25 years of lifespan from their Dunlopillo mattresses which is a testament to just how high the quality of the mattresses are. Other customers mention the tension provides sufficient support and comfort, protecting sufficiently against back pain and giving a full and rested night's sleep. Some customers even mention not being able to get up in the morning! Honestly, I love Dunlopillo mattresses, I’m fairly confident you will too.
