Igel

iGel mattresses are exclusive to Bensons for Beds and generally sit in the more executive and luxury lineup. Pricing may be higher than other products but the materials utilised within the mattresses more than makes up for this. Featuring support layers of pocket springs and comfort layers of gel, you get a cooling experience with full body contouring and fantastic longevity. iGel and Bensons for Beds have a history of providing good quality mattresses that last and have some of the best reviews in the industry.

Dormeo

Dormeo first popped up on our radar back in the early 2000’s, finding different avenues to market than traditional with their frequent TV advertising and push toward their own independent store over the conventional retailer derived market. Selling typically mid to high range products there are a few things that stand out with the Dormeo offering that competitors lag behind on, namely split tension and the way customers can adjust the firmness of their mattresses themselves via included replacement pads.

Regardless of your budget, there’s likely to be something suitable for a reasonable price point.

Igel Owner Satisfaction

Satisfaction is important to both Bensons for Beds and their iGel lineup. Being at the top of brands through the site, the manufacturer is held in high regard and is well reviewed by thousands of happy customers. Customers particularly enjoy the comfort layer which they say offers a cooling experience over equivalent memory foam alternatives. This is because gel breathes better and doesn’t cause heat buildup giving a better all-season mattress that performs well regardless of the weather.

I’ve personally trialled some of the iGel range in store and found some of the tensions to be on the firmer side, in-line with the designation the mattresses have been given. Regardless of which you choose, customers should be satisfied with the tension of the product.

Igel Supportiveness

The support on iGel mattresses is not derived from the gel layer as this is the comfort layer at the top, instead the support is offered from the pocket springs beneath. Pocket springs are universally fantastic and are my personal favourite when it comes to support systems. The result of this layer is an extremely supportive mattress regardless of which tension you choose, offering full body contouring with an impressive lifespan and increased breathability.

Igel Durability

Most mattresses have a traditional 1 year warranty and that is normally a fairly reasonable indicator as to how much trust the manufacturer has in their product. Naturally the better the components, the more durable they are and as such, manufacturers have more confidence in their lifespan and will guarantee them for longer. With iGel, not only are you getting high quality pocket springs combined with luxurious gel layers, but you are also getting a 10 year guarantee on all new mattresses coming out of the lineup. This goes a long way towards highlighting the durability of these mattresses and the lengths the manufacturer is going to in order to ensure long-standing satisfaction.

With a 10 year guarantee you will exceed the average lifecycle of 7 years, giving you better value and reducing the cost per night of sleep throughout its lifespan. As a result, while an iGel mattress may cost more initially, the need to replace later decreases real world costs.

Dormeo Owner Satisfaction

Satisfaction among customers appears to be high for Dormeo mattresses. This is unsurprising given the high quality materials and primary materials of latex, memory foam and pocket springs. Customers particularly enjoy the different firmness levels offered within each purchase. Where conventionally you would purchase a mattress and be left with the firmness chosen, Dormeo have gone a step further and developed removable pads that adjust the tension to a suitable level which, being a common complaint otherwise, assures satisfaction.

Customer reviews for Dormeo mattresses are fairly impressive and with impressive market leading warranties this trend looks set to continue.

Dormeo Supportiveness

Support is something very unique to Dormeo due to its split tension dual core mattresses. This specialist lineup allows you to have multiple tensions within one mattress, simply flip over to achieve a different degree of support and comfort.

Traditionally we judge a mattress manufacturer's support by the layer denoted to it and in the case of Dormeo this looks to be primarily pocket springs as a base layer. Pocket springs are market leading and outperform equivalent open coil and reflex foam units, they achieve this by having better body contouring, less settlement issues and better durability.

Dormeo Durability

Much of the Dormeo lineup comes with anything from 10 year to 20 year warranties. Regardless of which mattress you choose and which of the warranties you receive, it will still be toward the absolute top percentile in terms of warranty coverage. This is important because without a warranty you will be unprotected in the years that follow and since the average mattress is replaced after 7 years, a 10-20 year warranty goes a fairly long way in determining the expected above-and-beyond lifespan of such a product. Combine the great warranty with market-leading support and comfort layers and you are left with an extremely durable mattress that will provide you with a great night's sleep for a decade to come.

I bought two iGel pillows ( one side sleeper and another back sleeper pillow ) in 2019 and wanted to change my pillows ( which has been overdue for very long , I change every 3-4 years ). So, I was trying to buy these again because I am so satisfied with them . When I went online , only benson for beds have these . But then I saw some bad reviews . Here is the thing , choice of pillows is very specific, I am sure those who have bad reviews definitely didn't know what they want . These igel pillows for those who prefer firm to extra firm and thick pillows . Those who do not like firm or hard pillows will hate these . Choosing pillows is very important , there is no best pillow in the world which will satisfy everyone . But these iGel pillows are for those who prefer , firm/ hard and thick pillows , not for those who want soft and thin & flat pillows .

I love this mattress protector. However, I find if you use a waterproof protector, you also need to add a normal quilted protector on top before your sheet. This eliminates any noise or movement but you still have the waterproof protection. I've had mine for some time now. I don't wash it too often as i have a quilted protector on top which is washed regularly with my sheets. However, it washes up well. Takes quite a while to dry, but i find any waterproof protectors take extra time to dry. My only complaint is the price! It really is ott.

Sept 24 this mattress feels soft enough for comfort yet firm enough to support my heavy frame. Its like sleeping in luxury. The delivery was ontime. The guys were great -wore shoe covers to protect carpets. The Guisley Store has been very helpful, The 10 year guarantee helped decide to purchase this new technology. I also bought the gel pillow which again offers great support- I just turn it regularly. I personally preferred the 5000 model to the 2 and 3000

I can honestly say this is the best pillow I have ever used. I was sceptical at first as it felt quite hard, but it is so comfortable. I have always struggled to find a comfortable pillow, and my husband says we could open a pillow shop with all pillows we have in our loft. We are just waiting for our Igel mattress now - can't wait

We are liking the iGel mattress protector, it has helped to regulate my body heat in bed. You can feel it is a little cooler getting into bed, but not cold, and it has helped me have a better night's sleep as I am not waking up in a hot sweat. It doesn't feel at all like a waterproof bed lining, no noise and as I said, cooler.
