Why our sleep experts loved it

The iGel™ Advance 2050i Mattress features a premium, high-tech material at it's core: Graphene. When you sleep, the body releases lactic acid and carbon dioxide. This is the process that builds up muscle fatigue and creates wrinkles - which is why you want to have a mattress that can regulate temperature. The Graphene in iGel™ technology acts like a heat sink, absorbing the body's heat and transferring it to the surrounding air.

As a result, your skin will feel cooler and more comfortable all night long. The technology also works in reverse: when you sleep on an iGel™-enabled mattress, the mattress cools down, absorbing your body's heat and circulating it through the mattress with every movement. As a result, your body will stay cool and fresh throughout the night. As well as regulating temperature, iGel™ technology helps provide pressure relief against aches and pains so you can get to sleep faster.

This technology is unique to the iGel range and isn't available elsewhere. Further to the impressive iGel on offer, you also get an impressive 2050 pocket springs that are better than traditional open coil springs found in lesser quality mattresses. With pocket springs, the more the better with 1000 being typical for most mattresses. More springs does not equate to a firmer mattress, rather, just better body contouring and support.

In this instance, the iGel Advance 2050i Mattress is a medium tension mattress, making it ideal for those looking for something that is soft (thanks to the iGel) yet firmer (thank to the pocket springs specified tension). Best suited to those looking for an all rounder that will satisfy both side sleepers and back sleepers alike.

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.

Performance

  • Breathability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials like memory foam can make it difficult to move about on the mattress while you toss and turn. Same too for pillow tops which can create a cloud like sensation which can make manoeuvrability challenging.
  • Stability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Depending on the type of support layer in place can have an impact on stability, edge to edge support and roll together prevention. Pocket springs of a firmer tension will have better stability than open coil soft tension, for example.

Odour

  • Initial Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Materials in mattresses, particularly memory foam and rolled bed-in-a-box mattresses can have an initial odour, this is typically short term and reduces considerably within 24 hours.
  • Long Standing Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials inside different mattresses can produce a small odour. Typically this is short term rather than long standing but there are minor exceptions.

Brand Rating

  • Overall Brand Rating
    ★★★★★

  • This is based on community driven customer reviews tied to product reviews and grouped together at a brand level to produce a score.

We recently purchased a firm king-size mattress, and we are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable it is. Initially, we were a little hesitant about going for a firm mattress, but it has turned out to be the perfect choice. Not only is it supportive, but it's also surprisingly cozy. It's helped alleviate both our back and neck issues, which is a huge relief. We've been sleeping better and waking up without any discomfort. Overall, we're really happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a firm but comfortable mattress!

Very sturdy looking mattress. Nicely designed. Sleeping on this mattress is a dream. Extremely comfortable. No rolling together due to dips in the mattress. We love the firmness and the temperature regulating features. The gel allows the mattress to bounce back to its original shape from your body contour . This is our perfect mattress. Just the one we have been searching for. I would recommend this mattress to anyone who is out searching for a new mattress. Try the I- gel mattress.

We are on qeek 4 of our new mattress and it's made a massive difference to our sleep. I use to wake in the night with bad shoulder pain, but since having the new mattress this has disappeared instantly. My wife and have noticed a massive difference from night one for the better and even when the cat needs feeding at 6am I don't feel my wife get out to do it, " we do take it in turns " and equally she doesn't feel me get out either. All in all a great purchase.

This is a good mattress which offers the right level of support for me and I am sleeping comfortably. I don't get too hot during the night but it is presently winter and the real test of the summer still remains. The customer experience at the Bensons shop was good and the delivery schedule was adhered to. At this point I am pleased with my purchase.

Large indentation where I sleep. Hopefully this will be rectified by rotating the mattress. Otherwise very comfortable however I did ask for a mattress I didn't need to move as at my age this is very difficult.
