Why our sleep experts loved it

Give your body the best sleep it deserves with our Simply By Bensons Smile Mattress. It’s perfect for anyone who wants a firmer tension mattress and is looking to achieve a great night's sleep at a lower price-point than what is typically demanded from some of the bigger brands. The support designator on this model makes it ideal for those who suffer from back or joint pain who sleeps primarily on their stomach or back. The mattress comes with added edge support to maximise your sleep surface area which adds further comfort to your night’s sleep while allowing you to spread out across the product.

When it comes to the support layer on this mattress, you are getting the well-reviewed open coil springs. These springs are not considered quite as impressive as pocket springs which would typically command a much higher price but still offers more than enough support for the average person. Available in a firm tension, the springs will compress a sufficient amount to support those of medium to firm build, but not unduly so.

Onto the comfort layer and Simply Bensons have used the cost saving of open coil to splurge extra on a deep recycled comfort layer, providing you with a hypoallergenic nights sleep that will be relieving all muscles in your body while also ensuring doing it's best to keep allergies at bay.

With a 5 year guarantee, it's clear that the manufacturer and retailer both put a lot of care into this product, after all, if it falls short, both would be out of pocket and so it is in their best interests to ensure that the mattress stands the test of time.

Customer reviews are still coming in but there are no long term reviews as of yet since the product is so new. That said, the retailer and manufacturer have both been around for a considerable amount of time and have inspired generational trust with their huge range of products.

Why you can trust WantMattress We spend hours testing (and/or researching) every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. Find out more about how we test.

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.

Ease of Use

  • Turning handles
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses typically need to be rotated frequently and having turning handles can be massively beneficial, particularly in larger sizes which can become fairly heavy.

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.

I'm very pleased with my new mattress. It is nice and firm and supportive. As expected, being described as extra firm, it is pretty firm, so we have added a mattress topper for softness. My cats approve, as they have started sleeping on the bed since we had our new mattress.

My dad needed a firm mattress, as he feels it's good for his back and easier to get in and out of bed. When you're 92 yrs, you sort of know what you want. This was delivered on time and he has slept well (with no complaints) ever since! Great value and great bed!

I am accustomed to a much firmer mattress..This one appears far .less solid, and the springs 'twang' when i get into bed. I will give it about another month, then I may have to buy a different one.

Questions and Answers About The Simply by Bensons Smile Mattress

Prospective customers had the following questions about the product

Image of the post author
Verified Reviewer
What makes this mattress eco-friendly?

Answer: The 'Smile' mattress incorporates future-friendly materials, including a foundation layer constructed using new-life yarns. This mattress utilises a polyester comfort layer which comprises a minimum of 91% recycled fibres, with around 70% made employing recycled plastic bottles. These environmentally conscious measures help to prevent plastic waste from being dumped in the landfills or oceans. Thank you for your query. Aaqib

Luke_the_fluke
I've seen complaints about the firmness. How accurate is the firmness rating of this mattress?

Answer: The firmness rating of a mattress varies greatly based on individual perception, as everyone's comfort preference is unique. While some customers find the 'Smile' mattress firm enough and relieving for their backache, others have reported it being less firm than they expected. Consequently, comfort is highly subjective, and it's worth trying in-store if possible.
Image of the post author
Verified Reviewer
What makes this mattress stand out from others in the Simply by Bensons range?

Answer: The unique selling point of the 'Smile' mattress in the Simply by Bensons range is its eco-friendly composition. It's made using recycled materials and offers a firm comfort rating. Interestingly, the mattress has a minimum of 30% recycled steel in its 325 open coil springs. This contributes to reducing the amount of steel that ends up in landfill.
Image of the post author
Terence Clark
Can you tell me more about the firmness rating?

Answer: The 'Smile' mattress is available in both Firm and Extra Firm comfort ratings. These ratings suggest a solid sleeping surface that offers substantial support. Usually, firm mattresses are most suitable for back or stomach sleepers who need greater support to keep the body in alignment while they snooze.
Image of the post author
Mrs J Paton
What does 'no need to turn' mean?

Answer: 'No need to turn' means that you can use one side of the mattress. This eliminates the inconvenience of having to overturn your mattress frequently to ensure even wear and tear. However, it is recommended to rotate the mattress from end-to-end regularly to prolong its lifespan.
