Pros & Cons

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and a decade of industry insight.

This mattress is rated a medium tension that will suit the vast majority of people. Not too firm nor too soft, this could be a great option for those with a partner who has a different sleep position, height or weight as it is generally agreeable and in line with most tolerances.

As an additional positive benefit, you get 10 years warranty included. Thats 3 years longer than the typical lifecycle of other mattresses and highlights the quality materials that the manufacturer have included in this product.

One of the main downsides of this mattress surrounds it's origins, being produced outside of the UK has the pro benefit of keeping the costs down, it also has a stigma associated with it, especially considering the majority of it's competition tend to be handmade within the UK. Outside of this downside, the SleepSoul range fro Birlea can be a fantastic option to get the sleep you deserve at a cheaper than standard price.

Why our sleep experts loved it

Finding the right mattress can be hugely difficult, after all I've reviewed over 600 to date and I'm still learning when it comes to suitability surrounding individuality and personal comforts. These barriers all make buying online a challenge, but in this instance I think we've got something a bit special.

I'm going to split this review into 3 chunks, support, comfort and cover.

Looking at the support, you're getting 1000 pocket springs. For those unaware, pocket springs are the best support layer you will find in a mattress, it is my preference that wins out against traditional spring and reflex foam. This is due to pocket springs ability to offer full body contouring with suitable support for both the neck and back.

Onto the comfort layer and we have a generous depth of luxurious and soft gel. The thing that makes the gel option so great for people is that it is massively breathable, allowing strong airflow and allowing you to keep cool while still giving you a deep and comfortable layer to sink into. 

Finally you have the cover, bringing the mattress together and including a pillow top as part of it. The cover is soft and durable with turning handles to help facilitate rotation. Remember, this is a single sided mattress and while that does mean you don't need to flip it, you should still rotate as it helps with settlement issues that would otherwise potentially cause dipping.

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.

Quantitative Measurements KPI question mark

Here's how the product performs based on the materials and composition when compared to other products of similar price point. These measurements are produced using a combination of specification-heavy algorithmic data points and our own hands on experience.

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.

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.

Based on the product description and reviews I was expecting a softer mattress than I got. It does have a softness as you sit or initially lie on the mattress, but it soon gives way to a more solid firmer feel, which while supportive isn't quite the sleep on clouds feeling I was expecting. It is a supportive and comfortable mattress and excellent value for money. I don't feel the springs under me as I sleep though you can feel them along the side edging, this mattress does not have reinforced edge foam along it, which I wasn't expecting anyway. When you're laying down the feeling is more medium to medium firm to my 12 stone body anyway. I've decided to keep it and I would recommend it overall. For the price paid I think you can do alot worse. Time will tell how it holds up.

The mattress is excellent in general and very comfortable. As a side sleeper I can say that it does offer some degree of comfort, however I feel there could be a little more give. My partner on the other hand loves it and feels like its improved sleeping significantly. My only quibble would be the edge retaining wall. It does feel like I would like a little more support when rolling on the edge. However I feel its well worth the money and so its going to be staying with us. The sleep guarantee is a nice bonus for piece of mind. Overall Id say were very happy with it, especially considering the value.

This is a comfortable mattress. for the price We have been sleeping on it for two months (on a bed with sprung slats) and it is soft enough that you sink in a little without it being unsupportive (we have not noticed any aches). Small downsides - despite being gel, we think it still retains a bit of heat and the edges do not have a lot of support so you may find yourself rolling off if you're too close to the edge.

Mattress is comfortable to lay on due to softness and you feel like laying on a cloud. It may feel almost too soft for some people. My husband can't get used to it after using traditional hard spring Mattress for 7 years. I have a good night sleep however I feel pain in my hips, somehow harder Mattress is more suitable for my hips. I like the handles on the site. All in all not a bad mattress.

Incredibly comfortable. I'm a side sleeper and like a medium -firm mattress. I bought this on a Which? rated recommendation and have not been disappointed. I'm tall and about 112kg and it is divine. My old mattress (good quality but 9 years old) made me restless. This one, I rarely wake in the night at all and if I do it has nothing to do with being uncomfortable.

As a lesser weighted man who is under 11st and prefers a soft mattress this mattress is a rare find. It supports me perfectly whilst offering a light, comfortable and softly cushioned sleep. If you have good credit you can also pay by Klarna in three payments which makes it easier to buy.

soft, very comfy gel top, can't feel or hear springs. Best mattress I've had. Great sleep. Especially for the price.Easily got it up the attic too with it coming rolled up. I do only weigh 10.5 stones. and almost been using it for just 3 weeks. Hopefully stands the test of time.

The mattress is very comfortable. I bought it as it was a Which? Best Buy and within my price range. Seems to be a god choice. Delivery was very good and the fact that it was vacuum packed and in a cardboard box made it very easy to get upstairs on my own.
