Why our sleep experts loved it
Promising the ideal intersection of comfort and support is the Sandown Ortho Comfort Mattress from Bensons for Beds. But does this mattress truly deliver? Will it help you catch that elusive uninterrupted shut-eye that feels like a dream the moment you wake up? Let's delve into my first-hand experience, customer reviews, and its unique features to find out!
How We Test
Our evaluation of the Sandown Ortho Comfort Mattress was both rigorous and comprehensive. A series of quality-proof tests were conducted in-store to assess the numerous elements that form the bed's design, functionality, and overall comfort. We considered factors like how the mattress responds to movement, its level of orthopedic support, and how well it does overall to provide a good night's sleep. Do bear in mind that the mattress wasn't personally tested at home.
Design and Features
The Sandown Ortho Comfort Mattress, no doubt, brings forward a wealth of features. With individual pocket springs at the core, the mattress is designed to adapt seamlessly to your body's movement, thus offering top-tier responsive support. It's enclosed with a soft and durable damask cover which is not just breathable but adds a noticeable touch of luxury.
One of the standout features is the Hypoallergenic Comfort Layer. Breathable and made up of 42% recycled elements, it supports the ecosystem and your comfort. The Sandown Ortho offers orthopedic support, thanks to its firmer, hand-tufted fillings. Moreover, it includes reinforced edge support fortifying the mattress' durability and assuring optimal sleep surface.
Mattress Comfort
On the comfort front, the Sandown Ortho Comfort Mattress provides a 'Medium' comfort level, which was okay, but personally, I found the 1000 pocket springs to be pretty average. Select brands have significantly improved over time and a 1000 pocket spring count is starting to seem underwhelming. The reinforced edge support wasn't as impressive, with mild discrepancies in shape retention being evident. However, the mattress is double-sided, so that's a redeeming quality when it comes to durability.
Suitability
While marketted as good for both back and side sleepers, I believe this mattress suits side sleepers more. Those who sleep on their back might want to lean towards a firmer variant, perhaps like the Sandown Ortho Mattress, for a greater contouring effect and heightened support. Mostly, it’s an agreeable choice for average-weight individuals, regardless of their sleeping position, thanks to its medium firmness.
What Customers Thought
The Sandown Ortho Comfort Mattress has garnered mixed reviews from customers. Many underline the support and comfort it offers, with some noticing a considerable improvement in their sleep quality. However, there were also lukewarm comments about its edge support and firmness.
The Verdict
In conclusion, the Sandown Ortho Comfort Mattress is a mixed bag. It boasts some considerable features such as individual pocket springs support, a hypoallergenic layer, and reinforced edge support. Nevertheless, it falls a bit short on a couple of fronts like broad suitability and top-of-the-line pocket spring counts. If you're a side sleeper looking for a medium-firm mattress that has some pretty decent green credentials, this could be a suitable option for you. For back sleepers desiring a mattress that offers greater contouring effect and support, you may want to explore other options.
