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.

All popular sizes available.

Fairly reasonable lead time compared to most others in the range.

Limited euro sizing.

No long term reviews right now as it is such a new model.

Why our sleep experts loved it

The TheraPur Polar ActiGel® 1000 is a luxuriously soft and supportive mattress that helps you get the best out of every single night thanks to its use of modern technologies and a great utilisation of deep and luxurious ActiGel foam.

Its innovative pressure-relieving design helps to relieve pressure from your joints and muscles, promoting deep, restful sleep. This mattress is made from a proprietary blend of premium-grade materials and features high-quality, pocketed springs to help you stay comfortable.

The bed is coated with an ActiCool® knitted cover and helps promote additional airflow, creating a great all-season mattress that will keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. The result actually works particularly well and the gel pairing works with the pocket springs to increase breathability further.

The TheraPur Polar ActiGel® 1000 is the perfect choice for you if you want a mattress that's loaded with features, but that still maintains its comfort at a reasonable price point.

This mattress combines the cushioning and comfort of memory foam mattress but with the breathable properties of gel resulting in  pressure-relieving properties in a durable bed that will give your body the support and comfort it needs, while delivering zoned, targeted pressure relief for maximum health benefits and a more restful sleep experience.

The ActiGel® Polar 1000 is a medium tension which is suitable for most people of average build and will prove suitable for both side and back sleepers alike making it a great mattress for almost everyone.

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.
  • 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

  • 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 searched for weeks in different shops looking for a bed that would, suit my needs and give me a good nights sleep. O have a back problem and a lung disease which causes me to have difficult nights, I'm restless and can never get comfortable at night to sleep. I finally found the one, the one bed that had not only given me the ability to feel relaxed and comfortable but i SLEEP. This is a big deal to me ,as i can sometimes go several night without any. The bed mattress exterior in a lovely soft light padding, and although the mattress is class as soft its still firm enough, that it allows my spine the correct position. I feel the mattress almost cuddles me up as i sink in to it . I also got it at a slightly reduced price in the sale. Thank you Dreams so much.

The most comfortable mattress i have ever slept on,... If your significant other is actually a human hot water bottle and you enjoy the cool side of the pillow then this is the mattress for you, Disclaimer: If you actually have to get up in the morning and go about your business then i wouldn't recommend it as it is far too comfortable and before you know it you have slept through all of your alarms and might as well go back to bed and wait for tomorrow to try again.

The guys who came to put up the bed were so efficient and so friendly. The bed is absolutely perfect, so comfortable and would 1000% recommend dreams to anyone who is struggling to sleep and want a perfect investment.

Mattress seems good quality but feels much softer than it did in the shop which has caused a fair bit of back pain. Giving it the 30 days to see if i adjust to it.

I am confused about the guarantee on the TheraPur ActiGel Polar 800 Mattress. In the Overview it says "Rest easy with a 10-year guarantee" but we were told in store that it was only 1 year and so we bought the Extended Bed Cover.

Answer: We have recently updated the guarantee information on the TheraPur mattresses, depending on when you purchased, the sales advisor may not have been aware.If you would like to discuss this further please contact the customer service team.Many thanks

Why does this mattress only come with 1 year guarantee when others come with 5 or 10 years.

Answer: At Dreams we offer a standard one year guarantee on all of the products, the extended guarantees are from the supplier, unfortunately this supplier only provides a one year guarantee on this mattress.
