Mattress Range Overview

Pocket Spring Mattresses - 1000, 2000, 3000 & 5000 Springs

Pocket spring mattresses use individually wrapped springs that move independently under different parts of the body. This helps the mattress respond more accurately to shoulders, hips, lower back and legs, rather than moving as one large connected spring unit. The result is better support, less roll-together and reduced partner disturbance compared with basic open coil designs.

Choose lower spring counts such as 1000 for reliable everyday support, 2000 for a more refined balance of comfort and support, 3000 for stronger contouring and luxury feel, or 5000 for a denser support system with a premium finish. Higher spring counts are especially useful for larger mattress sizes and for sleepers who want a more tailored response across the body.

Memory Foam Mattresses - Pressure Relief & Contouring Comfort

Memory foam mattresses are designed to contour around the body, helping reduce pressure points around the shoulders, hips and knees. This can be particularly helpful for side sleepers, lighter sleepers, and anyone who prefers a mattress that feels cushioned rather than springy. Memory foam also absorbs movement well, making it a strong choice for couples who disturb each other during the night.

For a more modern comfort profile, look at memory foam combined with pocket springs or cooling layers. These hybrid designs keep the contouring benefit while improving airflow and support stability underneath.

Latex & Cool Gel Mattresses - Responsive and Cooler Sleep

Latex mattresses offer a more responsive feel than memory foam. They still cushion the body, but they spring back faster and feel more buoyant. This makes latex a good choice for sleepers who want pressure relief without a slow-sinking feel. Latex is also naturally breathable, helping air move through the mattress more easily.

Cool gel mattresses are designed for temperature regulation. Gel-infused comfort layers help disperse heat and create a cooler sleep surface, which can be useful for warm sleepers, insulated bedrooms or thicker bedding setups. Many cool gel models combine pocket spring support with gel comfort layers for both airflow and pressure relief.

Mattress Firmness Guide - Soft, Medium and Firm

• Soft mattresses: Best for lighter sleepers and side sleepers who need extra shoulder and hip cushioning.
• Medium mattresses: A balanced choice for most sleepers, especially couples with different comfort preferences.
• Medium-firm mattresses: Good for sleepers who want comfort on top with stronger support underneath.
• Firm mattresses: Suited to back sleepers, some stomach sleepers and anyone who prefers a flatter, more supportive surface.
• Orthopaedic support: Designed for stronger posture support and reduced sink, often preferred by sleepers needing firmer alignment.

Mattress By Size - Match Your Bed Frame Correctly

Choosing the correct mattress size is essential for comfort and frame compatibility. A mattress that is too small can move inside the frame, while one that is too large may not sit correctly on the base. Our mattress size categories make it easier to shop by the UK bed frame you already own.

• Single mattresses (3ft): 90cm x 190cm, ideal for children's rooms, guest rooms and solo sleepers.
• Small double mattresses (4ft): 120cm x 190cm, useful for compact rooms and single sleepers wanting more width.
• Double mattresses (4ft6): 135cm x 190cm, the most common UK couple size.
• King size mattresses (5ft): 150cm x 200cm, longer and wider for improved sleeping space.
• Super king mattresses (6ft): 180cm x 200cm, the largest standard UK size for maximum comfort.

Choosing a Mattress for Your Sleeping Position

Side sleepers usually need more pressure relief around the shoulder and hip, so soft to medium comfort layers often work best. Back sleepers typically need balanced support through the lower back, making medium to medium-firm mattresses a reliable choice. Front sleepers usually need a firmer surface to reduce excessive dipping around the hips. Couples should consider pocket spring or hybrid mattresses because independent spring movement helps reduce roll-together and motion transfer.
