Who is the Tennyson 4000 Pocket Sprung Orthopaedic mattress for?
If you take a good look at the name, you're going to see that this is an orthopaedic mattress, as is often the case with pocket sprung mattresses from Happy Beds.
Even though this is advertised as a medium-firm twin pocket sprung mattress, it's significantly firmer than that. It is going to be suitable for people who are suffering from back pain.
With that in mind, anyone with a high BMI or in need of extra support could probably benefit from this one.
Still, it is also a good pick for anyone who is on the hunt for a new mattress that gives a bit more spine alignment without sacrificing a budget too much.
What do we use this product for?
In most cases, you'd use an orthopaedic mattress to βhealβ a bad back or maybe sort some other sleep-related issues. While it is true that this one will help you sleep properly aligned, you can just as easily sleep on it even if you don't struggle with any pain or aches from your old mattress.
7 features that makes the Tennyson 4000 Pocket Sprung Orthopaedic mattress a good pick
As is the case with any other mattress, Tennyson 4000 also comes with its own set of defining features. These are the features we paid most attention to during our testing and we feel like you should know more about them if you're interested in buying this product.
Soft cotton cover
This twin pocket sprung natural fillings mattress is covered in high-quality,Β soft-to-the-touch, natural cotton fabric. This soft cotton cover is unfortunately non-removable, but it's aΒ high-thread cotton cover, so it shouldn't be too hard to clean.
The wonderfully soft cotton fabric reallyΒ feels premium to the touchΒ and will feel gentle on your skin, although we still wouldn't advise sleeping directly on it. Use a cover β it'll make your mattress last longer.
Finally, even though cotton is naturally hypoallergenic, this cover isn't. With that being said, it is alsoΒ not prone to attracting dust mites and other allergens, due to its natural moisture-wicking properties, amongst many others.
Amply padded tops on both sides
This is aΒ double-sided mattress, which means, you can flip and rotate it andΒ sleep on both sides.Β Fortunately, both sides of this mattress are amply padded and hand-tufted forΒ 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.Β 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.
Side handles
To extend its life expectancy, you shouldΒ flip and rotateΒ your Tennyson 4000 twin pocket sprung natural fillings mattress at least onceΒ every 6 weeks.
However, we'd recommend rotating and flipping onceΒ 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 withΒ hand-sewn side handles for easier manoeuvring.Β These really come in handy when you have to flip a 35 kg Super King-sized mattress.
Air vents & Airflow materials
As is often the case with pocket sprung mattresses, they'reΒ quite cool and breathable, but Tennyson 4000 takes it a step further.
Aside from being filled with wool, aΒ material great for regulating temperatureΒ and keeping things pleasant, this mattress also has two air vents on each side of the mattress.
These air vents reallyΒ 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.
Natural fillings
As we've previously mentioned, this twin pocket sprung mattress isΒ filled with natural materials.
The three of the most predominant materials used in Tennyson 4000 twin pocket sprungΒ natural fillings mattress are wool, cotton and cashmere.
Wool is aΒ soft, comfortable, temperature-regulating materialΒ 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 theΒ top notch sleeping experience.
Two layers of nested pocket springs
As you could tell by the sheerΒ 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 quiteΒ capable of properly supporting your body.
This twin pocket sprung system has proven to be great at offering aΒ great level of support, while also being quite exemplary at isolating motion, which is not often the case with a firmer, orthopaedic mattress.
Orthopaedic properties
As we have mentioned earlier, this is an orthopaedic mattress. What that means is that this mattress isΒ slightly firmer than a regular oneΒ 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,Β regardless of your sleeping position.
However, in reality,Β side sleepers don't usually benefit from orthopaedicΒ 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.
Review of the Tennyson 4000 Pocket Sprung Orthopaedic mattress
All in all, this is a fairly good mattress that will be the perfect match for anyone with a backpain.Β It's firm and it has solid support all aroundΒ β as any orthopaedic mattress should. On top of all that, it's hand-made and hand-tufted, so you know durability won't be an issue.
It is also quite pleasant to sleep on during warm nightsΒ since it doesn't get hot. On the other hand, theΒ cover is not removable, nor hypoallergenic, so cleaning might be a bit of a chore.Β Also, the lack of padding or reinforcement on the sides leaves edge support underwhelming, to say the least.
Bottom line β this is a fantastic pocket sprung mattress that will suit most of the sleepers, especially those who want to achieve better spine alignment as well as less pain in the back. Therefore, despite the few cons that we identified, this is still a good choice for the majority of sleepers.

That is not something you often see with orthopaedic mattresses, but what really sets this one apart from the others is its great durability. The current market within the United Kingdom cannot offer a better mattress for those who need an orthopaedic features.
How did we test the product?
Every mattress is a story for itself, so you have to approach it from a different perspective. As is often the case with pocket sprung orthopaedic mattresses, we wanted to test the firmness, support and durability, before everything else.
The first thing we did is have every member of our team spend 10 days and nights with this mattress, so they could take some notes and write down some thoughts.
As far as firmness is concerned, we all agreed that is a not medium-firm mattress β it's more firm than medium. We can see this one being a bit too firm for some side sleepers with a low BMI, so keep that in mind.
Support, on the other hand, is remarkable. We did expect it to perform well, seeing how it is a twin pocket sprung mattress with a lot of individually nested pocket springs, but even we were amazed at how well it performed.
Even if you're above 120 kg, this mattress will manage to support your weight quite nicely. Sure, it'll feel softer, but you'll still sleep in a proper position.
Finally, we can't finish our reviews without testing the durability. To test the durability, we performed the roller test, simulating the years of use and we have to say β the results were more than satisfying.

Overall, we'd say that the Tennyson 4000 Pocket Sprung Orthopaedic Mattress is a pretty solid choice for most people. However, if you value having a trial or hate hand-washing, you might want a different model. And if you have any questions, head down to the comments!
