Tennyson 4000 Pocket Sprung Orthopaedic Mattress Review

This twin pocket sprung natural fillings mattress is covered in high-quality, soft-to-the-touch, natural cotton fabric. This soft cotton cover is unfortunately non-removable, but it's a high-thread cotton cover, so it shouldn't be too hard to clean.

The wonderfully soft cotton fabric really feels premium to the touch and will feel gentle on your skin, although we still wouldn't advise sleeping directly on it. Use a cover – it'll make your mattress last longer.

Finally, even though cotton is naturally hypoallergenic, this cover isn't. With that being said, it is also not prone to attracting dust mites and other allergens, due to its natural moisture-wicking properties, amongst many others.

This is a double-sided mattress, which means, you can flip and rotate it and sleep on both sides. Fortunately, both sides of this mattress are amply padded and hand-tufted for additional durability and comfort.

Hand-tufted mattresses are always great when it comes to retaining shape for a long time and this one is no different. The padding is high-quality, it's comfortable, it doesn't move around and it should stay as good as new for a long time.

To extend its life expectancy, you should flip and rotate your Tennyson 4000 twin pocket sprung natural fillings mattress at least once every 6 weeks.

However, we'd recommend rotating and flipping once every 4 weeks, instead of 6, at least until you break it in, which would be in the first three months of use.

To make things better, Tennyson 4000 twin pocket sprung natural fillings mattress comes equipped with hand-sewn side handles for easier manoeuvring. These really come in handy when you have to flip a 35 kg Super King-sized mattress.

As is often the case with pocket sprung mattresses, they're quite cool and breathable, but Tennyson 4000 takes it a step further.

Aside from being filled with wool, a material great for regulating temperature and keeping things pleasant, this mattress also has two air vents on each side of the mattress.

These air vents really improve the airflow within the mattress, ensuring that you stay cool during warm summer nights. However, there's only so much a mattress can do if it's really warm outside, so keep that in mind.

As we've previously mentioned, this twin pocket sprung mattress is filled with natural materials.

The three of the most predominant materials used in Tennyson 4000 twin pocket sprung natural fillings mattress are wool, cotton and cashmere.

Wool is a soft, comfortable, temperature-regulating material that is often used in pocket sprung mattresses for various purposes. Cashmere is often added for some additional softness and comfort. And cotton is a go-to choice when it comes to manufacturing high-quality, soft covers. With these natural fillings, mattress provides sleepers with the top notch sleeping experience.

As you could tell by the sheer number of individually nested pocket springs, we're looking at two layers, instead of one.

These are not full-size coils, but they're still quite capable of properly supporting your body.

This twin pocket sprung system has proven to be great at offering a great level of support, while also being quite exemplary at isolating motion, which is not often the case with a firmer, orthopaedic mattress.

As we have mentioned earlier, this is an orthopaedic mattress. What that means is that this mattress is slightly firmer than a regular one would be and because of it, it manages to support your body weight in a much better fashion, leaving you properly aligned throughout the night, regardless of your sleeping position.

However, in reality, side sleepers don't usually benefit from orthopaedic properties and are usually much better off sleeping on a slightly softer surface. Still, if you are not sure whether you need a firmer or a softer mattress, we have a buyer's guide on orthopaedic mattresses so you can check it out to learn more.
