Assessed from the specification published by Furniture Village, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
The main draw here is a hybrid feel without any foam. Fibre comfort layers sit over two spring systems: smaller springs that adapt to your shape, and a supportive core beneath. Fibre tends to sleep cooler than memory foam, which means hot sleepers should notice less heat build-up. The firm tension gives a stable, supported feel rather than a cradling one. At £143 to £329 depending on size, it sits at the affordable end for a hybrid. Furniture Village states a 20-year structural guarantee on its listing, which is longer cover than most brands offer, although you should confirm the guarantee terms with whichever retailer you buy from, as listings differ.
Key Features & what's inside
- Cover. A knitted fabric cover, which gives a soft-touch sleep surface against the skin.
- Advanced e-Fibre®. An award-winning fibre comfort layer designed for luxury comfort and breathability. Because it's fibre rather than foam, it allows air to move more freely, which means less heat building up overnight.
- Rebound e-Fibre®. A resilient fibre layer that provides contour support, shaping to your body while springing back into place.
- Micro e-Pocket™ springs. A layer of small pocketed springs that move independently, which means the mattress adapts to your shape and weight rather than pushing back uniformly.
- e-Spring™ core. The main spring core, providing the deep support that keeps your spine aligned.

Who's it NOT for?
This is a firm mattress, so lightweight side sleepers may find it too hard at the pressure points and would be better with a medium tension. If you love the slow, hugging sink of memory foam, the springy fibre feel here won't give you that. And at 20cm deep, it's slimmer than some deep-fill hybrids.

Is the Jay-Be Benchmark S5 firm or soft?
It's a firm mattress. That means a supportive, stable feel with minimal sink, which tends to suit back and front sleepers, and heavier bodies generally. Lightweight side sleepers may find it slightly too firm for comfortable pressure relief at the shoulder and hip.
Does the Jay-Be Benchmark S5 contain foam?
No. The Furniture Village listing states it's 100% foam free, using fibre comfort layers over pocketed springs instead. The listing also describes it as 100% recyclable and free from harmful chemical emissions, although it doesn't name specific certifications backing those claims.
What guarantee comes with the Jay-Be Benchmark S5?
It depends where you buy. Furniture Village states a 20-year structural guarantee on its listing, while another retailer feed lists a 5-year guarantee. Guarantee terms are set out by the retailer here, so check the cover offered by the specific shop before you order.
How deep is the Jay-Be Benchmark S5 mattress?
It's 20cm deep. That's slimmer than many deep-fill hybrids, which means standard fitted sheets will fit easily, but if you prefer a tall, hotel-style profile this may feel a little low. The depth doesn't compromise the support, which comes from the spring core.
What sizes does the Jay-Be Benchmark S5 come in?
It's available in UK Single, Small Double, Double and King, priced from £143 to £329 depending on size. Furniture Village lists delivery in 7 days, with a Premium Delivery Service available at £39 for mattresses, although delivery terms will vary by retailer.
