We have this supportive mattress displayed in our bed shop on a platform top divan base, which gives it great support. The is Intense Ortho 800 mattress is a firm mattress and like a good performing paint, does exactly what it says on the tin!

This is a classic orthopaedic mattress, with a striped mattress cover with a natural probiotic fabric treatment. The mattress is firm enough that it doesn’t collapse when you sit on the side. This is also helped by the divan base being solid.

Laying down on my back, I didn’t sink into luxurious or exotic fillings, the sensation was just one of support. My entire upper body felt like it was being held exactly as I needed. The release of pressure off my aching muscles was so satisfying I could have stayed there all day. Now after my back felt rejuvenated, I tried laying on my side and as I mentioned this really is a firm mattress and my lightweight body just didn’t sink in at all. My body shape felt like it was in an unnatural position, but I do prefer a softer mattress as I am a side sleeper. If you are of a heavier build, prefer to sleep on your back and like a firmer feel then this mattress is certainly a contender.

Another key point everyone must take into account is price, and this is another reason this mattress holds its place as a fantastic seller. For example a 5ft king size Relyon mattress is currently on offer reduced from £479 to £369.00. Relyon mattresses come with a standard guarantee of 8 years, so for 8 years, its 12.5p per night, amazing value.

*The Intense Ortho 800 mattress has been around for a long time, first manufactured by Myers. The bed was rebranded under the Slumberland label, but still being made in the same factory to the same specification. Sadly, Bensons for Beds acquired the Steinhoff Group, which included Myers, Slumberland, Relyon to name a few in November 2019 and subsequently went into administration on 30 June 2020. Rising like a phoenix from the ashes the company was immediately bought back in a pre-pack insolvency deal meaning the Myers and Slumberland brand became exclusive to Bensons for Beds. Fortunately, the Relyon brand was able to be saved by a management buyout, enabling Relyon mattresses and beds to continue to be sold by independent retailers.

Because of the success of the Intense Ortho 800 mattress, Relyon picked up the mantle and decided to continue manufacturing it under their brand, which was great news for us.
