Introduction to Exminster Ortho Comfort Mattress

Is it not true that we often yearn for a sleeping companion that understands and adjusts to our comfort needs throughout the night? For those nodding in agreement, presenting to you, the Exminster Ortho Comfort Mattress. With sublime features such as 1000 individual pocket springs and a damask cover, this mattress aims not only to usher you into the Land of Nod in utmost comfort, but also promises to keep your body supported while you're there. Manufactured by Bensons for Beds, this mattress merges luxury with utility in the right proportions. However, a mattress should be selected like one selects a new pair of shoes – ever so carefully! Let's dive in, shall we?

Design and Features

The Exminster Ortho Comfort Mattress, in all its grandeur, sports a classic yet practical design riddled with features that assure top quality in comfort and support. Amongst these, the 1000 individually responsive pocket springs stand out. Imagine hundreds of sturdy yet springy support systems, each independently adapting to your unique body movement. This dynamic attribute of the mattress provides premium responsive support and is particularly beneficial for those who, involuntarily perhaps, moonlight as nocturnal gymnasts.

Its hypoallergenic comfort layer, made from 42% recycled materials, presents a stable surface which is as fresh to sleep on as it is eco-friendly. The impressive damask cover promotes a soft, durable, and breathable sleeping surface, adding an extra layer of luxury. This double-sided mattress, hand-tufted for a supportive feel, retains its form and sturdiness even after years of usage, provided it is turned and rotated regularly as per the recommended care instructions. If that isn't enough, wait till you hear about the unique orthopaedic support and dynamic reinforced edge support. The former uses firmer fillings hand-tufted for extra levels of support, and the latter adds durability, reduces roll-off, and optimises your entire sleeping surface. Aren't we off to a promising start?

Mattress Comfort

Sleeping on the Exminster Ortho Comfort mattress is akin to experiencing a sweet symphony of comfort and support. It strikes a fine balance between soft and firm, conforming to your body while lending it the support it needs, making every night feel like a miniature spa retreat. This mattress ensures it retains its shape remarkably well, bouncing back to its original form every morning ready to serve another night of restful sleep.

The recycled layer, while being a plus for the eco-conscious, resists body impressions, extending the mattress' longevity. Nonetheless, while it is undoubtedly an eco-friendly addition, claims of enhanced comfort from this layer seem more of a marketing buzzword than an actual benefit.

Suitability

This medium-firm mattress splendidly caters to both back and side sleepers. It nestles side-sleepers in lavish comfort, taking into consideration the vulnerability of pressure points like hips and shoulders and providing adequate cushioning. While it's well-suited for most average-weight individuals, back sleepers might fare better with a slightly firmer option for enhanced support. Its double-sided design adds to its lifespan, offering you a flip option for prolonged mattress life, however, this also means it's heavier and a bit hard to flip. Nonetheless, its advantages largely outweigh this minor inconvenience.

What Customers Thought

It's always intriguing to know how a product fares in the actual world, as used by its customers. The Exminster Ortho Comfort Mattress has been credited with conferring its sleepers with minimal disturbance from partners who tend to wriggle about. Many have praised its support levels, claiming it to be instrumental in their journey towards better sleep hygiene and health outcomes. There’s a general consensus about the mattress being supportive and comfortable. The appreciative comments extend to the great value for money that it offers, the exceptional service from Bensons for Beds, and even the professional delivery personnel.

However, there have been murmurs of discontent as well. Some customers have found it to be softer than anticipated for an orthopaedic mattress. The damask cover, although providing a touch of luxury, has been perceived by some as lacking a premium touch.

The Verdict

As an impartial contributor to the mattress reviewing community, my personal sentiment echoes some of the concerns of the customers. Despite the 'medium' rating, the mattress leans towards the firmer side which can be unsettling for some sleepers. The hand tufting, though providing brilliant structural stability, can induce an uneven feel to the surface. Yet, the Exminster Ortho Comfort Mattress remains largely an exquisite addition to your bedroom. With its generous serving of comfort and reliable support topped off with a commitment to environmentally friendly components, this mattress essentially embodies the 'love at first sleep' experience (once you get past the firmness curve, of course!). Plus, the exceptional service from Bensons for Beds is icing on the cake. Above all else, remember, a good sleep is worth every penny!

Suitability

*Assuming average weight, suitability will vary dependant on body type, use the quiz above for a more tailored guide.
  • Back Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • The amount of support offered from a mattress will vary depending on the firmness of the tension and the type of support layer used. Based on a person of average build.
  • Side Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • If you sleep on your side you typically need a supportive tension that is not too firm, nor too soft. This is because your hips and shoulders need adequate sinkage.
  • Stomach Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Stomach sleepers need a reasonable amount of tension in the base support layer to adequately offer body contouring and help prevent aches and pains. Results will vary based on your build.
