The Verdict

What 53 sleepers really think

Rated 4.8/5 from 53 verified reviews
Customers praised the Arthur Sleep Cool Gel mattress for its comfort, support, and cooling properties. Many noted significant improvements in sleep quality, reduced back pain, and better temperature regulation, especially in hot conditions. Users also found it to offer great value for money. The firmness initially surprised some but was widely appreciated for providing adequate support, though one review mentioned discomfort with its firmness at first.

Firmness of this mattress was just what I was hoping it would be. Very supportive and the top layer adds the comfort. No more waking up in the morning with aches and pains - very pleased with this mattress. Now that I have been using it for a while it has settled down and has become even more comfortable than it was initially. Also great service from Mattressman and their delivery team.

Mattress is fine once I got it. Quite tricky to unwrap. Delivery service by DX appalling as always. No delivery slot, no communication, don't follow instructions and don't even knock. It was quite a heavy package for 2 old people to drag indoors and although old, we are not deaf. They didn't knock

Plenty of support but not too firm. I’ve been sleeping on a waterbed for years so thought it would take some time to get used to this mattress but no issues at all. You can feel the cooling even and it is helping me sleep a little better.

Only had the mattresses a few days but are very comfortable and very happy with the quality. Only downside is on these dark mornings do not want to get out of the bed!

Can I turn this mattress over?

What is the cover made from?
