The Verdict

What 148 sleepers really think

Rated 4.7/5 from 148 verified reviews
Reviewers appreciated the British Bed Company The Grand Duke mattress for its comfort, support, and quality construction. Many praised its firmness, which alleviated back pain, and its luxurious feel. The deep and durable design was noted, along with its supportive edge. While it may initially be firmer than expected, it offers excellent support and a good night's sleep. One minor downside mentioned was the mattress's weight, making it a bit challenging to move or rotate.

Very comfortable and firm. It’s heavy and feels very well made and looks as if it will stand the test of time. Slept on it for just over a week now and love it. We live in Orkney and there was no problem delivering it to us, didn’t have to wait long and it was well packaged. We can’t get the trial period but that is to be expected so more of a gamble. If we had tried this mattress in a showroom we might not have picked it as it feels too form, but actually it is great.

Was a bit apprehensive about ordering this product as it's Mattressman's own product ,but we wanted a double sided firm mattress so we took a chance . Glad we did it appears to be a good quality mattress and as discribed . We purchased a " Grand Duke 2023 " , would agree with some reviews that it is slightly firmer than I expected but we find it comfortable and sleep well ,just hope it lasts

Such a comfortable mattress and neatly finished in durable fabric. Dual handles fitted either side to assist in turning. It offers support where needed with a soft top layer that allows joints to sink into the surface, relieving any pressure and allowing air to circulate. After 60 years this is the most comfortable mattress I’ve slept on.

Very pleased with the service received from Mattressman. They made the whole process simple, especially as we needed an unusual size. It was delivered when they promised and the driver was very helpful brining it indoors. The mattress fits the bed exactly and seems to live up to the description

Excellent mattress, though it is difficult to find high quality, fully fitted sheets that fully fit due to the depth (this is due to sheet manufacturers claiming more depth than the sheets actually have). Very comfortable. Durability not rated as it is way too early to assess.

Very nice and comfortable mattress. Looks and feels great quality. It’s very heavy, so just be aware moving it around and upstairs is no easy task for one person. But once completed you can have a nice lay down for a bit.
