Choose this if you want a firm feel and a cleaner-conscience buy. The whole mattress is foam free, built instead from Jay-Be's e-Fibre® layers and an e-Spring™ core, so it's fully recyclable at the end of its life. Firm support suits back and front sleepers and anyone who finds soft mattresses leave them achy, although lightweight side sleepers may find it a little unforgiving on shoulders and hips. At £179 to £299 depending on size, it's honest value for a mattress with a retailer-listed 20-year structural guarantee. Yes, the 19cm depth looks modest on paper, but the layered construction is doing the work rather than padding out the numbers.
Key Features & what's inside
- Cover. A knitted fabric cover, which means a soft-touch surface against your skin from the moment you lie down.
- Advanced e-Fibre®. An award-winning comfort layer designed for luxury comfort and breathability, so air moves through rather than building up heat.
- Memory e-Fibre®. A memory layer offering quick-response pressure relief. Unlike traditional memory foam, it recovers quickly, so you won't feel stuck when you change position.
- Rebound e-Fibre®. A rebound layer that contours to your shape, which means support that follows your body rather than a flat, rigid feel.
- e-Spring™ core. A deep sprung core with supportive comfort layers, giving the mattress its firm, stable foundation.

Who's it NOT for?
This isn't the one if you prefer a soft or medium feel: it's listed as firm in the formal specification, and lightweight side sleepers in particular may find it puts too much pressure on shoulders and hips. If you love the slow, deep sink of traditional memory foam, the quick-response e-Fibre® here will feel quite different.
Jay-Be Benchmark S3 Memory Eco-friendly Mattress
Is the Jay-Be Benchmark S3 firm or medium?
The formal specification on Furniture Village's listing states Firm, although another section of the same page shows a Medium comfort level. Going by the product details, treat it as a firm mattress, best suited to back and front sleepers or anyone who prefers a supportive, less sinking feel.
Does the Jay-Be Benchmark S3 contain memory foam?
No. Despite the name, it's 100% foam free. The memory-style feel comes from Memory e-Fibre®, which gives quick-response pressure relief rather than the slow sink of traditional memory foam. That also means it's fully recyclable and free from harmful chemical emissions.
How deep is the Jay-Be Benchmark S3 mattress?
It's 19cm deep, slightly slimmer than many mattresses. Standard fitted sheets should fit easily, and the layered e-Fibre® construction over the e-Spring™ core provides the support rather than sheer bulk.
What guarantee comes with the Jay-Be Benchmark S3?
Furniture Village lists a 20-year structural guarantee, which is a longer span than most brands offer. As this is stated by the retailer rather than on Jay-Be's own page, it's worth confirming the terms with whichever retailer you buy from.
What sizes does the Jay-Be Benchmark S3 come in?
It's available in UK Single, Small Double, Double and King, priced from £179 to £299 depending on size.
