About Our Englander Mattress Research
The ratings reports below are based on a total of 99 owner experiences which were gathered using an unbiased, accurate methodology.
Englander Innerspring (Tension Ease) Mattress Ratings
Ratings below are based on 38 actual consumer reviews for Englander innerspring-based mattresses.
| Owner satisfaction | d | Englander innerspring-based mattresses overall have 61% owner satisfaction based on 38 owner experiences. This rating is about average compared to innerspring mattresses overall but below average compared to all mattresses overall including memory foam, air and latex. |
| Durability / longevity | d | The main complaint, by far, for Englander innerspring beds is compression / sagging of the mattress. At least 25 percent of owners say that within 3-4 years their Englander sags or develops indentations where they sleep resulting in lessened comfort and support. Models with a pillow top, including foam tops, appear to have the greatest sagging potential. |
| Price | c+ | A queen Englander is often priced between $1,200-$1,700 depending on the model. More expensive models tend to be thicker with foam and or latex comfort layers. |
| Less pain | c | Sagging of the mattress tends to somewhat undermine comfort and, in some cases, it causes pain, including back pain. (See mattresses and pain relief for general analysis.) |
| Motion isolation | b+ | Motion isolation tends to be above average for Englander Tension Ease. Motion isolation refers to the ability of a mattress to keep movement from spreading across a mattress to potentially disturb one's partner. |
| No initial odor / off gassing | C+ | There are limited reports of the bed giving off an initial chemical-like gas or odor when new. But models that have a foam and or latex top may be more likely to off gas. |
| No sleeping hot | c | The Englander performs no better than average in regard to avoiding acting as a heat trap. Models with foam and or latex tend to have the greatest potential to sleep hot. |
| Good for sex | c | Mattress sagging may undermine the ability to perform intimate activity. (See mattresses and sex for analysis). |
| No noise | c+ | The springs inside may make a squeaking or popping noise when in use. |
| No turning / rotating | c | The mattress is one-sided and does not need flipping. Owners report, however, the need to rotate their mattress fairly regularly in an effort to combat sagging. |
| Lightweight | C- | The Englander tends to weigh average to more than average. |
| Warranty | d+ | The mattresses have a 10-year warranty with the first five years non-prorated. At least 10% of owners complain that the warranty fails to provide adequate coverage for sagging. (See mattress warranties: what you should know.) |
| Customer service | d+ | Customer service is generally regarded as poor or no better than fair because of what is perceived by consumers as a lack of responsiveness and resolution regarding sagging problems. |
| Better Business Bureau rating | A | Englander Sleep Products currently has an "A" rating with the BBB. |
Englander Memory Foam (Viscopedic) Mattress Ratings
The report below is based on 16 actual consumer reviews of the Englander Viscopedic model which is a memory foam mattress.
| Owner satisfaction | c | Englander Viscopedic memory foam beds have 71% owner satisfaction based on a small sample size of 16 owner experiences. |
| Durability / longevity | c | They tend to perform somewhat better than Englander innerspring and latex beds on this issue. |
| Price | c+ | A queen Viscopedic often costs between $900-$1,500 depending on the model. |
| Less pain | c+ | Memory foam mattresses tend to have better pain relief potential than innerspring models. (See mattresses and pain relief for further analysis.) |
| Motion isolation | b | Motion isolation tends to be a strength for memory foam beds. Motion isolation refers to the ability of a mattress to localize your movement so that your partner is not disturbed. |
| No initial odor / off gassing | d+ | The release of a chemical-like odor when the mattress is new is fairly common among memory foam mattresses in general. (See memory foam off gassing.) |
| No sleeping hot | d+ | The Viscopedic, like many memory foam mattresses, can act as a heat trap for some owners. (See mattresses and heat.) |
| Good for sex | c- | Memory foam mattresses tend to have more complaints on this issue than other bed types. (See mattresses and sex for analysis). |
| No noise | a | Englander Viscopedic is totally silent when lied upon or moved on. |
| No turning / rotating | b | The Englander cannot be flipped and generally does not need to be rotated. |
| Lightweight | d | All Englander beds tend to be heavy, including the Viscopedic. |
| Customer service | d | Customer service is generally regarded as poor or no better than fair because of what is perceived by consumers as a lack of responsiveness and resolution. |
| Better Business Bureau rating | A | Englander Sleep Products currently has an "A" rating with the BBB. |
Englander Latex (Nature's Finest) Mattress Ratings
The report below is based on 45 actual consumer reviews of the Englander Nature's Finest mattress which tends to consist of a natural latex base under a foam comfort layer.
| Owner satisfaction | d | Englander's Nature's Finest latex mattresses have 61% owner satisfaction based on 45 consumer experiences. This is considerably below average compared to both latex mattresses overall and all mattresses overall. The main cause of dissatisfaction is poor durability / longevity. |
| Durability / longevity | d | The main complaint, by far, is compression / sagging. More than 25 percent of Nature's Finest owners report that within a few years their bed sags or develops indentations / ruts where they sleep. Much of the problem appears to be due to the foam pillow top. |
| Price | d | A queen Nature's Finest mattress tends to be priced between $2,100-$3,000 depending on the model. |
| Less pain | c- | Compression of the mattress tends to somewhat undermine comfort and in some cases causes pain, including back pain. (See mattresses and pain relief for further analysis.) |
| Motion isolation | b | Motion isolation tends to be a strength for Englander latex beds. Motion isolation refers to the ability of a mattress to localize movement from one person so that one's partner is not disturbed. |
| No initial odor / off gassing | c- | The release of a chemical-like gas or odor can occur with Nature's Finest mattresses, mainly due to the presence of foam containing petrochemicals. |
| No sleeping hot | c- | About 10% of owners report a heat trap problem. (See mattresses and heat.) |
| No noise | a | Englander Nature's Finest beds are totally silent when lied upon or moved on. |
| No turning / rotating | b- | The bed has a one-sided design. Rotating the mattress may be needed regularly to prevent and combat compression and body impressions. |
| Lightweight | f | The mattress can weigh over 200 pounds. |
| Warranty | d+ | Nature's Finest has a 10-year warranty with the first five years non-prorated. (See mattress warranties: what you should know.) |
| Customer service | d | Customer service is generally regarded as poor or no better than fair because of what is perceived by consumers as a lack of responsiveness and resolution. |
| Better Business Bureau rating | A | Englander Sleep Products currently has an "A" rating with the BBB. |
E-Gel and Lifestyle: Preliminary Ratings
The E-Gel and especially Lifestyle models are fairly new, and, consequently, have little owner experience data currently available.
E-Gel likely rates similar to Englander ViscoPedic, yet perhaps sleeps at least slightly cooler due to its use of gel foam.
The Lifestyle model can be considered a hybrid mattress in that it uses layers of latex, gel memory foam and micro-encased springs. Sleep Like The Dead estimates this model will rate similar to or better than Englander ViscoPedic.

– Englander customer service is overall viewed as no better than fair because of what is perceived by customers as a lack of responsiveness and resolution regarding product quality and warranty issues.
– Englander memory foam mattresses tend to perform better in owner satisfaction than both Englander innerspring and latex beds.
- Englander mattresses overall have 65% owner satisfaction. ()
