Why our sleep experts loved it

If you are experiencing subpar sleep or feeling less refreshed in the morning, it could be a sign that it's time for a new mattress. Our pursuit for a perfect night's sleep brings us today to the TheraPur ActiGel® Firth Combination Mattress. This combination mattress promises a blend of reliably firm support and an open cell construction for cooling purposes, dovetailing with its hypoallergenic properties for better overall sleep quality.

How We Test

We went through a meticulous testing process in-store, taking into consideration factors like its construction, comfort level, suitability, and customer feedback. While we didn't trial the mattress in our homes, we definitely conducted a rigourous hands-on assessment at the store.

Design and Features

The TheraPur ActiGel® Firth Combination Mattress is composed of layers of traditional springs complemented by cooling ActiGel® foam and bounce-friendly PurFibre®. This design combination aims to provide optimum support for the entire body, including the sensitive joints. The distinct 2cm layer of ActiGel® foam conforms to your body, adjusting and providing pressure relief, while its open cell design enhances airflow, which promises to keep you pleasantly cool.

Moreover, the mattress showcases an exciting addition - the ActiCool® cover. This special feature provides an instant cooling sensation to lull your body into a restful night's sleep. Not only functional, but the cover shows also TheraPur's commitment to quality -- it's impressively sturdy and comforting to touch.

Mattress Comfort

This mattress carries a 'Firm' comfort grade. For back sleepers and some stomach sleepers, this firm tension will provide the needed stability for the spine. However, side sleepers or those with hourglass body shapes might find this firm tension less accommodating due to the requirement for more sinkage in the hip and shoulder regions.

Suitability

Breaking down the suitability, we could conclude that this particular product is best for those who mainly sleep on their back or stomach. However, if you are a side sleeper or carry weight largely around hip region, a different model with softer support might work better for you. In addition, the firmness grade may suggest suitability for individuals of a heavier weight bracket.

What Customers Thought

Customers mostly have praised the TheraPur ActiGel® Firth Combination Mattress for its comfort and quality. They've experienced reduced back and hip pain, appreciated its firmness, and found the ActiGel® foam highly beneficial for a good night's sleep. On the contrary, some customers found it too soft for their liking, with settlement issues raised by a few. Overall, the vast majority praised the mattress as a worthwhile investment for quality sleep.

The Verdict

All things considered, the TheraPur ActiGel® Firth Combination Mattress appears to hold its own in the competitive mattress industry. It promises the necessary features for firm support, cooling comfort, and is hypoallergenic. However, its suitability to different sleep positions should be taken into account before investing.

Its construction and features seem promising but given prior settlement issues with some other Therapur models and the reported feedback from customers, we recommend you physically try this mattress in-store to understand how well it suits your personal sleep needs. Furthermore, the 1 year-guarantee is a bit limited and the pricing is a bit on the higher side, which does raise eyebrows. Hence, our suggestion is to carefully consider your options before making an investment in a quality mattress like this one.
