Excellent matress reviews recommendations with Mattressly? The Tempur-Cloud mattress from Tempur-Pedic rounds out the top 10 mattresses in our rating. The Tempur-Cloud is an all-foam mattress made with three layers of different Tempur material foam. Tempur material gives the feel of traditional memory foam, allowing you to slowly sink into the mattress. These foam layers mean that the mattress provides great pressure relief, a particular benefit for side sleepers to prevent too much pressure on the shoulders and hips. Tempur material is designed to adapt to body weight, shape, and heat, conforming to the body to provide support.
A phenomenal 365-day trial trumpets the fact that Nectar is so sure that once its memory foam mattress is on your bed, it is unlikely to leave. That’s a whole year of sleep with free returns if you’re not happy, plus a forever guarantee. It’s a pretty bold stance for even this highly competitive bed-in-a-box market, so we were interested to see how it matched up to the rest. It comes in an easy-to-handle box and releasing it from its plastic packaging is simple with the help of the supplied cutting tool, which ensures you don’t accidentally cut into the mattress while you’re opening it. It doesn’t take long to inflate either and was ready in a couple of hours. Four layers of foam are topped with a soft quilted adaptive cooling cover that is designed to keep you cool at night by adapting to your body heat.
This Emma mattress comes vacuum-packed and rolled, and although it seemed to come up to shape within about 40 minutes, we left it the recommended four hours to fully expand. This mattress is certainly on the softer side of medium out of all the memory foam models we tested, so is well suited to those with smaller builds. The sleep surface is made from Emma’s patented UltraDry cover, which is designed to help regulate your temperature and wick away sweat. You can also unzip it from the mattress and wash it. We found this mattress to be very comfortable, with solid support beneath the memory foam layer. This is thanks to the heavy-duty foam at the bottom of the mattress. The upper layer of foam is designed to gently support all pressure points in the body. It suited both side and back sleepers because of this, and impressed even the most discerning of testers.
What level of firmness do I need? There is no hard and fast rule with firmness. Comfort is the most important thing, says Simon Williams of the National Bed Federation. Most mattresses sold are medium. Clearly it is important not to choose one that is so soft that it doesn’t offer sufficient support. On the other hand, choosing one that is too firm could cause pressure points and pins and needles. Hybrid – as you might have figured from the name, hybrid combines both memory foam and springs to give you the best of both worlds. They should provide that luxurious sinking feeling alongside some solid spring support. See more information on Mattressly.
There’s no mistaking that hybrids have a bit more heft to them than traditional memory foam only offerings. The Simba Hybrid pro has seven layers, all encased in a soft breathable sleep surface. A number of things make the Simba different from other hybrids. Firstly two layers of patented Aerocoil springs sandwiched between high definition edge support foam and an open-cell foam layer. Secondly, below the soft outer cover sits a natural temperature-regulating British wool layer to help wick away nighttime sweat. This is how it differs from the lower grade – but still highly rated – Simba Hybrid which only has one layer of springs and does not have the wool layer. As you’d expect, the box is heavy – definitely a two man job up our testers’ winding stairs. Once in situ though, the instructions in the box are easy to follow. The supplied cutter ensures you’re unlikely to damage the mattress cover releasing it from its plastic wrapping. The handles are a nice addition and it swells up to the appropriate 28cm in three to four hours.
