Because there are so many different types of mattresses available, it can be scary to know where to start.
Memory foam products can be the best choice for you if you prefer to sink into your bed. You may notice a sensation of sinking into the bed as the foam conforms to the shape of your body while you sleep. The foam takes on the shape and motion of your individual body by harnessing the heat from your body. If back discomfort is a problem for you, memory foam offers a lot of support and cushions the joints. A customised sleeping experience with memory foam helps maintain your spine in its natural alignment.
In a pocket sprung mattress, a cloth sleeve covers each spring. As a result, the product reacts to your movements as you sleep. Every spring adjusts to the contours of your body to promote proper alignment and a wonderfully cosy night's sleep. Everyone can find a pocket spring solution that works for them, with options ranging from extra firm to soft in all sizes and tensions.
Hybrid Mattresses
Hybrids, also called "combination" provide superior back support and comfort by combining layers of foam with pocket springs. Seamlessly combining cutting-edge sleep technologies, merging springs and foam layers to they deliver an unmatched sleep experience. Many hybrids are also eco-friendly, often free from chemical treatments. No matter your preferred sleeping position, our diverse range of hybrids has something for everyone. From memory foam, gel, latex, and bed-in-a-box options, we can help you find the right hybrid model for you.
Conventional open coil products—also referred to as Bonnell springs—lessen strain on your body to promote greater sleep. This kind equally distributes your weight, relieving pressure on your body and lowering the likelihood that you'll wake up sore and uncomfortable. For those on a tight budget, an open coil platform is a great option. That being said, comfort and quality are not sacrificed in the process.
Roll Up / Vacuum Packed or Bed in a Box Mattresses
Also known as a rolled mattress, these offer excellent support and comfort. As the name implies, these products are vacuum-packed and rolled for effortless transportation to your bedroom. This makes delivery more efficient and eco-friendly, and it's a great option for people with restricted access. They are also an excellent option for individuals undertaking a home move and in need of a new bed. Upon receiving a bed in a box delivery, proceed to unwrap it in a well-ventilated room with open windows, and lay it flat. Allow several hours for it to fully expand before use.
Orthopaedic Mattresses
Orthopaedic or ortho mattresses, are inspired by orthopaedics, the medical field focused on healthy bones and muscles. These more robust than typical platforms provide improved support, encourage balanced weight distribution, and promote good spinal alignment. Doctors occasionally recommend orthopaedic models to those who have back, joint, or muscle pain when they sleep. Additionally, they offer strong support to elderly people, athletes, those leading active lifestyles, and those healing from injuries. Those who prefer a firmer feel or sleep on their fronts equally favour them.
A gel sleeping surface can improve the comfort and quality of your sleep. Gel beds provide optimal temperature regulation, a smooth, long-lasting feel that conforms to your body, and a cooler sleeping environment. They're excellent for hot sleepers, women going through menopause, and anybody else looking for a deeper, more revitalising sleep. From small single to super king, gel options are available in a range of sizes and comfort levels, from soft to firm.
Latex mattresses, originating from the Dunlopillo latex mattress, have a layer of latex over a spring mattress that conforms to your body's contours. Unlike memory foam, latex is more natural, derived from plants, promoting a hypoallergenic sleep environment and reducing allergy symptoms while you sleep. Choose from our assortment of naturally cooling latex mattresses to get superior support. Available in several sizes, ranging from small single to super king.
A Pillowtop refers to a type of mattress that is made with extra layers and cushioning to increase softness and comfort, as if the mattress were topped with a pillow. The result? A sleep surface that combines support with luxurious comfort, similar to what you might find in a high-end hotel bed.
Different sleeping positions require specific support and comfort, influencing the ideal choice for restful nights.
To protect sensitive pressure points and make sure you are still properly supported, it is advised for side sleepers to choose a comfort rating in between soft and medium. Because they adapt to your body's curves, memory foam, latex, and gel alternatives are frequently preferred by side sleepers. For optimal spine support and to prevent back issues, consider using a firm or extra firm sleeping surface if your weight exceeds 14 stone. The heavier you are, the firmer your mattress should be to ensure it offers you the support you need.
Spine alignment is important for back sleepers, and a firmer comfort grade is advised to be comfortable without allowing the back to sink into the mattress. Medium, firm and extra firm offerings are a good choice for supporting your spine and preventing back problems. Pocket spring, traditional spring, memory foam and orthopaedic options are all popular options amongst back sleepers. Individuals who weigh more than fourteen stone should go for firm or extra firm products to avoid having their spine sink into the mattress, which can result in increased pressure points and back issues.
When sleeping on your front, the mattress you choose is crucial because this is how back discomfort is most likely to occur. To make sure your spine is supported, it is advised that you choose a medium- firm or firm mattress. Too soft a sleeping surface can result in the torso sinking into the mattress resulting in an arched spine, aches, and pains. Too firm a product will prevent your spine from falling into its natural curve, again causing aches and pains. Proper weight distribution can be achieved by utilising memory foam and pocket spring solutions.

Each comfort grade, ranging from soft to extra firm, offers distinct advantages tailored to personal preferences and sleeping positions.
Comfort levels vary, spanning from extra firm to soft. Your weight and size, whether you sleep on your side, back, or front, and whether you have back problems will all play a large role in selecting the right mattress firmness.
-For lighter-built side sleepers who might find a medium mattress too firm, soft-medium comfort mattresses are perfect because they provide just enough give to maintain proper sleeping posture without applying undue pressure.
Medium mattresses offers a reasonably well-balanced mix of support and comfort. They fit various types of sleepers, including side, back, and front sleepers and sleepers of average size.
Medium-firm mattresses, which are marginally firmer than a medium tension, are perfect for people who prefer a little firmer feel and for individuals who sleep on their side or front. They are also ideal for sleepers of moderate size.
A firm mattress often called "orthopaedic," has a stronger feel and provides additional support without sacrificing comfort. They are suitable for larger or heavier users, as well as front sleepers and those who would benefit from a firmer option.
Extra firm mattresses (the firmest mattress) are appropriate for front sleepers and larger or heavier people. They can help support people who are experiencing back pain. Extra firm tension is not recommended for lighter users, who might find the firmness to be too rigid.

Which mattress is right for me?
Just as we are all individual, so too are our sleep needs. Choosing the right one is dependent on many factors & is a personal choice. When deciding, think about your sleeping position, body type, bed sharing, and your tension preference (soft, medium, or firm).
How do I choose the best mattress?
Choosing the perfect one is a subjective decision, as there's no universal solution. Fortunately, the wide range of options caters to individual preferences, offering diverse materials, technologies, comfort grades, and sizes.
What is the average cost of a mattress in the UK?
The average cost can vary widely, depending on factors such as the type, size, brand, and quality. In the UK, you can find products with prices ranging from around £100 to several thousand pounds.
How much should I pay?
Determining the cost of a quality sleep surface depends on factors such as construction and materials. Cheaper ones may seem like a good deal at first, but they might not help you sleep well and could cause more problems in the long run. We recommend spending as much as you can comfortably afford. We offer a range of payment options to help you with your purchase.
Is it worth spending money on an expensive mattress?
Expensive ones usually last longer than cheaper ones because they are made with better materials. These materials make the product stronger and able to handle the everyday wear and tear. When the sleeping surface is more durable, you don't have to replace it as often.
What type of mattress is best for a bad back?
A wide range of mattresses can relieve back pain and improve spinal alignment, including orthopedic, latex, hybrid, spring-based, and memory foam options. Contrary to popular belief, overly firm mattresses may not support your spine adequately. Those over fourteen stone should opt for firmer mattresses, while those under ten stone with back discomfort should choose softer, supportive ones. Treatment effectiveness varies, so not all back pain sufferers will benefit equally from the same type of product.
How often should I replace my mattress?
We advise replacing it every 7-8 years based on guidelines from the National Bed Federation.
Can I just replace the mattress, or do I need to buy a new bed frame/base?
Yes, you can as long as the base is the same size and in good condition. Where possible, it's a good idea to buy them together for a better sleep experience. We have a large bed frame collection available.
Can I sleep on my new mattress straight away?
Traditional, unrolled options are ready for sleeping on instantly. Rolled products take 2-6 hours to expand. In some cases, it can be 48 hours before they reach their maximum height.
