Why our sleep experts loved it
The world of mattresses is as vast as it is varied. With an array of different materials, designs, and technologies, finding the right mattress can often feel like a daunting task. However, every now and then, a mattress comes along that offers something a tad bit different, a product that catches the eye -or rather, the back- and promises an elevated sleeping experience. One such mattress, that has recently caught our attention, is the TheraPur ActiGel® Glacier 6800 Combination Mattress. In this review, we’ll delve into the design, materials, comfort and suitability of this mattress to help you decide if it's the right choice for your night-time comfort.
How We Test
The TheraPur ActiGel® Glacier 6800 Combination Mattress was evaluated in-store via a methodical process that prioritises mattress attributes that have been proven to contribute most to a mattress' overall quality. Our thorough testing procedure includes assessing the mattress's design, its special features, the comfort level and its suitability to different sleepers. Please note that while we undertake comprehensive in-store testing, these tests do not include a home trial.
Design and Features
The TheraPur ActiGel® Glacier 6800 Combination Mattress is a coolant hybrid, designed to offer a remarkable level of comfort and support. This mattress intricately layers cooling ActiGel® foam on top of bouncy PurFibre® cushions and is elegantly wrapped in a refreshing knitted ActiCool® cover, promoting both breathability and temperature regulations. Additionally, it boasts enhanced edge support that increases your sleep space and eliminates the infamous roll-off feeling.
Furthermore, the Glacier 6800 Mattress combines thousands of mini and pocket springs to provide both personalised contouring and a peaceful sleep, irrespective of your partner's movement. To add, this mattress not only boasts an impressively deep 6cm layer of ActiGel® foam that supports and ventilates but also a boxed top design that enhances its performance and ensures longevity.
Comfort of the Mattress
In terms of comfort, The TheraPur ActiGel® Glacier 6800 Combination Mattress is graded as medium. Its luxurious box top cradles your body, providing utmost support and comfort. The blend of ActiGel® foam and PurFibre® cushions brings about a well-balanced harmony of softness and firmness, while their responsiveness assures that the mattress molds to your body shape, promoting an elevated level of comfort.
Suitability
This mattress suits a wide range of sleepers, particularly those who sleep on their side. The medium tension is beneficial for back sleepers also, offering targeted support and comfort. However, those who primarily sleep on their back might want to consider a slightly firmer option for more pronounced contouring and overall support.
What Customers Thought
Our customer reviews resoundingly point towards a highly satisfying sleeping experience. Users appreciate the mattress's ability to provide excellent support alongside lavish comfort. They particularly praised the ActiGel Foam and ActiCool cover for their innovative cooling properties and the substantial edge-to-edge support that generously enlarges the sleep surface.
The Verdict
While TheraPur mattresses can occasionally tend to sag according to some customer feedback, the impressive 6800 pocket spring count in the Glacier model quells these concerns. This mattress strikes a balance between innovative design, state-of-the-art technology, and comfort. Though it might be a bit firm for some, overall, it offers plush comfort, great support, and the joy of personalised contouring. Additionally, its cooling technology, advanced edge support, and allergy-friendly materials make it a solid choice for a good night's sleep.
