Hi Rob,

Now you're asking the million pound question!

The simple answer is we have no idea what is in Bensons Igel, Geltex or Sealys Hybrid Foam.

Why is this? because the details on the foam are a closely guarded secret which is fine but it does make it very difficult if not impossible to compare.

What I can say is most foams that are manufactured in the UK range from 40kg to 75kg in density, with 75kg being the firmest.

We release all the details on our foam because we think its only fair for a customer to know exactly what they are buying. Our John Ryan Business has been built on this transparency from day one.

Some mattresses like the ergoflex use 85kg memory foam which is very dense and firm.

I'm not sure what Tempur use in their range but it ranges from very firm to a softer foam in their Cloud. You can start to see some of the issue in the like for like comparison.

Hybrid foams tend to be softer as their benefit is heat reduction and being more responsive than memory foam.

I hope the above is of assistance to you, but please do not hesitate to contact the office for further information / advice on 0161 437 4419.

Kind regards Julie
