Forget Morroco, forget the Côte d'Azur. As the lesser-known destination for some much-needed spring respite, Slumberland might not be bringing you any sun, but it will deliver on rest and recovery. Creating some of the very best mattresses around, Slumberland is not to be overlooked amid the onslaught of designer mattresses and its all-new Air 6.0 is the investment that just will not stop giving.
In short, I've been sleeping on Slumberland's Air 6.0 Memory Mattress for the last three months, and this tall, bouncy beauty has stolen my heart and blessed my (and my partner's, and my cat's) sleep schedule. But how? Allow me to break it down for you:
Memory foam meets springs
Not just a pocket spring mattress, nor just a memory foam, this stacked Slumberland bad boy unites the best of both worlds. But what does that feel like? It is perhaps cliché, but I have always believed my bed should be cloudlike; like Angel Delight topped with whipped marshmallow and sat on a stack of feathers. Not only does the 6.0 deliver that lovely squish upon initial contact, but said squish of memory foam (6cm of the stuff, FYI) is supported via its combination of 1500 mini and 1050 full-height pocket springs.
Simply put, this means I get my Tunnock's biscuit-like dream feeling of a whipped upper and supported, solid layer. And if you've ever browsed the hybrid mattress market, you'll know finding one that isn't ultra-firm (even though they mostly claim to be medium-firm) is no easy task. My preferences aside, though, the 6.0 is available in your choice of soft, medium or firm. I, unsurprisingly, have soft.
Quality with quantity
The feeling of the 6.0 now well established, I ought to note the first thing you're likely to clock about this mattress is the sheer height of it. All those springs and the memory foam layering has to go somewhere, and this 33cm creation has comfortably closed the gap between my floor and my window sill when placed on my already-generous bed frame. Just bear in mind you might need some extra-deep sheets to fit it.
But what are the benefits of this mass of layering? Not only is this major mattress super comfortable, but it's able to naturally and effortlessly adapt to individual movement – an ideal answer to known fidgeters and toss-and-turners like myself. Additionally, while the 6.0 doesn't advertise its ability to mend aches and pains, after our time spent snoozing on it, my partner reports an ease in their usual back and shoulder pain, something normally exacerbated by any changes in sleeping set-up.
Remember those 1500 mini and 1050 full-height individually adapting pocket springs I mentioned? Those handy little guys mean that even if your partner is shifting, duvet-stealing and causing all sorts of sleep-related mischief, you won't feel a thing. As for their snoring? I suggest a snore-proof pillow.
Okay, but is it worth the price?
There are plenty of hybrid mattresses on the market these days, all at a similar price point, but for me, this one is justifiable. Most hybrids come in at a medium-firm to firm feel and it was surprisingly tricky tracking one down that suits those of us who crave more a marshmallow of a bed. The ability to choose your own level of firmness, and indeed the fact there is even an option for a soft bed, gives this an edge on the others in my eyes.
And with all those irrefutable sleep benefits we've laid out for you, plus an eight-year guarantee, you'll never dream of any other location than of Slumberland.
