A good option for those on a budget who need additional support. 

Very reasonable price point considering the strong guarantee and good manufacturing brand.

All popular UK sizes available.

Not officially designated as an orthopaedic mattress but has all the same properties and materials.

Longer lead times than expected might disappoint customers.

Why our sleep experts loved it

The Lynx Mattress can provide you with luxury comfort and support while you sleep thanks to its even coil distribution paired with comfortable upper layers featuring deep layers that will have you sinking into your mattress for a good night's sleep every night.

The open coil spring system in the Lynx and other open coil alternatives has an outer steel frame which provides stability and durability giving better edge support and maximising the surface area of usable space. Along with the spring system, the Lynx Mattress includes a cushioned foundation layer made from new-life yarns, something we are beginning to see crop up in other products tied to the Simply Bensons range. The mattress also includes a polyester filler layer that proves popular with the environmentally conscious since it is made from a minimum of 70% recycled plastic material. 

Onto the tension and the Lynx is perhaps most ideally suited to those looking for an orthopaedic feel mattress with a firm designation that will protect your back and neck as you sleep while not breaking the bank while doing so. The spring system within performs better than some counterparts and has reasonable body contouring with strong resistive properties necessary to fight against your body as it tries to sink into it.

The mattress features an impressive 5 year guarantee which is somewhat market leading and gives the consumer great protection relative to the 1 year traditionally offered. Furthermore the BSI Kitemark assures you of great British quality.

The mattress is available in all popular mattress sizes and offers great value for money. The result of the above is a soft responsive comfort layer with a firm base that will help alleviate back and neck problems common with those that would require orthopaedic intervention.

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.
  • 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

  • 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

This is a great mattress: well-made & very well packaged. We chose firm for our guest / grandson's bedroom. Not normally a great sleeper, he sleeps through the night on his new mattress, saying it is 'super comfortable'. We agree & would thoroughly recommend.

Questions and Answers About The Lynx Mattress

Prospective customers had the following questions about the product

Image of the post author
Verified Reviewer
How well does the Lynx Mattress accommodate different sleeping positions?

Answer: The firm tension of the mattress is recommended for back sleepers or some stomach sleepers. Side sleepers or those with hourglass figures might not find it as comfortable because these sleeping positions require more sinkage for proper hip and shoulder accommodation. - Rebecca

What type of spring system does the Lynx mattress use?

Answer: This model is built with 325 open coil springs that distribute body weight evenly for optimal comfort and pressure relief. The spring system is contained within an outer steel frame which enhances the mattress's stability and durability.

Are there any downsides to having a Lynx Mattress?

Answer: There have been some customer feedback stating that the mattress felt too firm, with a lower depth than expected. However, comfort is highly subjective, so what feels firm to one person might feel just right to another.
