Englander Mattress Reviews

Englander mattress reviews are, like those of other brands of mattresses, mixed. While there are some individual likes and dislikes that are very specific, the "big" pros and cons tend to fall into two categories.

Those who love them say they're like sleeping on a cloud, a marshmallow, or a very large pillow. Those who do not like them say that they sag and cause back pain.

So in general, those who like soft, fluffy mattresses really like the Englanders while those who want or need firm support do not like them. Here are some of the pros and cons that have been gathered from several online reviews.

Englander Mattress Reviews - Pros

The Lady Englander pillow top mattress is reviewed as lasting for a long time (nine years in one case) without developing any body impression, compared to a Serta that lasted for less than a year before developing impressions. It is described as heavy duty and as not sagging on the edge when sitting up on it. The fact that they are made in the U.S. is a plus for some buyers of Englander mattresses.

The price is considered a plus, and buyers of the Lady Englander say that they sleep much better compared with other mattresses, so good that they sometimes wake up in the same position as going to sleep without tossing or turning.

Others buy an "entry level" Englander mattress set and then move up in quality and comfort over the years while moving the used beds to guest rooms or children's rooms.

Several users comment on how soft and luxurious Englander mattresses feel, "like sleeping on a marshmallow" in one review. Other Englander mattress reviews describe the queen sized pillow top mattress as being comfortable and durable.

The Nature's Finest pillow top mattress made from natural latex and bamboo is reviewed as being "a dream to sleep on," resisting sags unlike other pillow top mattresses that have tended to develop body impressions within a few months.

Again with this mattress, value is stressed, with reviewers considering Englander to be the benchmark in value and quality. Positive reviewers say that it reduces side-to-side movement and motion transfer. Some reviewers insist that now when they go on vacation they are unable to sleep as soundly as at home.

Englander mattresses are praised for allergy resistance including resistance to dust mites and other allergens. When older Englander mattresses are "demoted" to guest room use, reviewers have said that guests comment about how comfortable the bed is and what a good night's sleep they've had on it.

Englander Mattress Reviews - Cons

Those who do not like their Englander mattress complain about sagging, in one case "so badly that I rolled into the middle of the bed."

Another complaint is that Englander's customer service is difficult to access and inadequate. Englander won't fix a mattress if they believe there is no problem with it, even if their judgment conflicts with that of the customer. However, this is standard practice in the industry. Retailers' mattress return policies vary, so they may replace the mattress even when the manufacturer will not.

Sagging has been described also on both sides, leaving a hump in the middle of the mattress. Negative reviewers have said that the sagging places do not bounce back after several hours, and that the company will not take back a mattress unless the indentations reach a certain depth.

Lumpiness has been reported, as has tearing in the fabric on a mattress that did not have a mattress cover on it. One reviewer of the Englander Viscopedic mattress said that he felt like he was "sleeping in a hole" despite only weighing 130 lbs.

There have been complaints of unevenness of wear and aggravation of back and hip pain. Another complaint about the Viscopedic bed is a feeling of sweatiness due to lack of heat dissipation, and that excessive sweat eve turned the mattress cover yellow. Most complaints have to do with the lack of firmness, even with the firmer mattress lines.

One thing mentioned, that is probably neither pro nor con, is that these mattresses are quite tall and require deep pocket sheets.

But the bottom line with Englander mattress reviews is that those who prefer soft mattresses usually like the company's products, and those who prefer sleeping on a firm mattress generally do not.
