Posture and support lost after 10 months!
Item was very comfortable to begin with however after 9 months it started to lose support and shape (sagging), in the hip areas. In spite of rotating the mattress weekly the problem increased to the point where my wife and I can no longer use it due to poor sleep and back pain. We are of average weight so that's not the issue. I note that the the manufacturer has replied to other reviews on this site by recommending the flipping of the mattress along with rotating it regularly. In our case the top latex pad is attached and can not be repositioned to the underside.

Uncomfortable and poor quality
Had one for about three months. Not very comfortable. I can feel the springs. Also the sides have no support at all. If my head is up the end on the edge it sinks. Also the big sewn in label is on the top side which makes it bloody annoying. Overall just really poor quality. Might be cheap but in hindsight I would've prefered a second hand quality mattress. My last mattress was $100 on gumtree and was like new and lasted 5 years. I doubt I'll be living with this for more than a year tbh.

Does it shrink?
Bed itself is comfy and I don’t have that much drama. What worries me is the fact that I feel that the bed is shrinking in size!! My frame hasn’t grown but the bed certainly is getting smaller. Would like to replace if possible. Pls provide details so I can swap.

Not recommended
Bought this Queen Ensemble for the guest bedroom and has rarely been used. Now the mid section of the mattress is higher than the sides like a dome. Since this has been used only for about 10 times in the last two years, it hasn’t maintained its shape.

Hi Paj,
We are sorry to hear that the mattress has appeared to have ridge in the middle.... Read more
This could be due to uses on the sides - Although it's seldom used, however when it's used, only two sides were compressed slightly while the centre of the bed receives little to no use so keeps its uncompressed state. Hence, there's a ridge appearing in the middle. For now, you can try to flip and rotate your mattress frequently. By doing so, the mattress will be more uniform and might begin to notice a decrease in the size of ridge. If the issue still persists, our mattress is covered with 15 years warranty which may cover this issue after confirming the details. Please contact Customer Support from online retailer that you purchased from to initiate the investigation. Please do let me know if you need any other assistance. Thank you. Regards, Velerie - Giselle Bedding Team.Thanks for contacting. Will do as you have asked and let you know.

Hi tinkerbell d.,
I'm sorry that you had an unpleasant experience with our mattress.... Read more
There is occasional feedback that customer experienced mattress sagging after some time of usage due to extensive use on one side of the mattress. For instance, sitting on sides putting your shoes on. We recommend you to flip the mattress on other sides on a regular basis. If your bed frame has slats under, we suggest you to check the slats if it's broken or uneven as it may cause slight depression in the middle and result into uneven surface of your mattress. We hope it will helps with the issue. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any more issues. Thank you. Regards, Giselle Bedding Team.Hi what about the springs digging into if I flip the mattress it would be worse

Horrific mattress
Mattress came rolled up. Can feel every spring in the mattress even though it has a topper on it. Incredibly uncomfortable. Tried to return but seller wouldn’t accept as it has been I rolled but still in packaging. So ridiculous. Wish I had listened to the bad reviews before I purchased.

Giselle Bedding Alanya Series 34cm Euro Top Mattress (Bamboo charcoal)
Ok mattress for the price.
Payed only $320 odd dollars online for the Queen Giselle Alanya Series 34cm Euro Top Mattress which was very cheap so we didn't really expect anything outstanding for a vacuum packed mattress. Delivery and vacuum packaging was convenient though.
Quality and material of the mattress seems okay so far, handles on the mattress seem quite weak and will rip off quite easily if not careful.
We've owned it nearly a year and it hasn't really sagged badly or anything yet but I'm not sure how long its going to last.
This particular mattess is supposed to be a medium-firm but it feels pretty soft to me.

The most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on
I really wasn't sure how good this mattress would be as it was very cheap, but I thought I'd give it as go, only $200 to loose if it wasn't good
I can safely say it is the best mattress I have ever slept on. Very, very comfortable but also supportive.
The only negative is I am unsure how long it will last, but I guess at that price if I get a few years out of it I will be happy.
Note - the one I bought was labelled a Kingston Mattress, but I think they are the same thing.
Purchased in February 2021 at eBay for A$182.40.

Very bad experience
Bought it from ebay. A bit disappointed as the size is not exactly right, queen size only 200x151cm.
I thought it was because of not enough unpacking time but it was too small for a standard queen size after 1 year resting.
Bed is too soft to sit on the edge. Not firm enough for the called medium firm. Sinks when sleeping.

Believe it or not

Worst buy No Miracle you got what you paid for
The mattress is so weak, you sit in the middle, both sides will slightly come-up. When you sleep on it, you can feel every single spring (which is not many) poking your body. No after sale services, they said can't return since you opened it: REALLY, and I guess they expect customers can tell the comfort level by looking at the wrapping? For sure, this one will be on the street for the next hard rubbish collection day. My back health is more important than these cheap nasty products.

Great for price
Excellent for a $309 mattress
Soft pillow top, lovely fabric
Very supportive
Says medium, but I feel this is a FIRM mattress. Definitely firm.
The sides do sink when you sit on the edge of the bed, but it’s fine to sleep on.
No major dramas. I have chronic back problems, and I can sleep on this mattress. Not a great deal different from my $1200 Sealy posturepedic, although I won’t expect the same life expectancy.

Can't sleep even for one day
We ordered firm mattress. Waited for 2 days after unpacking. Tried sleeping on it. Horrible.
Bed sinks when sleeping.
No support at all
We slept on our old mattress which was much better than Giselle
Very bad experience.
Will not recommend or buy Giselle bed again.

Fire hazard
Will be contacting relevant department as this product starting melting and smouldering from the heat of a hair dryer. The top of the mattress got wet so I did what I do with our other mattress blot pat dry and finish off with hairdryer.

A Giselle Premier Single Mattress versus 'high end' Single Mattress
Now which to choose? A $109 Giselle premier single mattress, new and comfortable, with an expected use by date, say 5-7 years, OR pay $2000 plus for a top of the range single mattress, a much media hyped label, with an expected use by date, say 7-10 years.
Answer - el cheapo all the way. I could even buy and enjoy a new Giselle mattress every year for 10 years and still be $1000 better off, then if I had bought the overpriced mattress,which will have comfort deterioration (saggy and lumpy) within a decade of use.

Terrible not recommended
No side support you literally have to lie in the middle to find some comfort even then too saggy. Not designed for heavier adults I have chronic lower back pain and this mattress makes me toss n turn I wake up in pain. I would not recommend this mattress.

So comfy!!
Bought this mattress from later gator, cam all rolled up. I opened it up and let sit for 24 hours before putting it on my wooden frame. I found it really comfortable, way better than my last one which had springs in it. I have recommend this mattress to lots of people and would definitely by one for my kids.

Hi just received my giselle 8cm memory foam topper _ can I use an electric blanket - helen
1 answer
Velerie H.Giselle Bedding
Hi Helen,
Thank you for purchasing our memory foam mattress topper!
It is not recommended to use electric blanket with our topper due to the heat reactive quality of the memory foam. As it changes its form when heat is applied, extra heat from the electric blanket will cause the mattress topper soften too much, leaving you less support when you sleep on it.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Thank you.

Velerie - Giselle Bedding Team.
