Premium Mattresses for Better Sleep | Memory Foam & Pocket Spring

Mattresses – Find Your Perfect Night’s Sleep

Walking into a mattress shop—or scrolling through mattress websites—can feel overwhelming. Memory foam, pocket spring, orthopaedic, gel-infused, hybrid... what do these actually mean, and more importantly, which one will help you sleep better

Mattress Types & Technologies

Memory Foam Mattresses

Memory foam mattresses are made from viscoelastic foam that responds to your body heat and weight. When you lie down, the foam moulds around your body shape, then slowly returns to its original form when you get up. If you've ever pressed your hand into memory foam and watched the indent slowly disappear, you've seen this in action.

Who they're genuinely good for:

• Side sleepers (the foam cushions your shoulders and hips)
• Anyone with pressure point pain
• People who sleep with a partner and don't want to feel them moving around
• Those who run cold (memory foam retains heat)

Who should probably avoid them:

• If you run hot at night (memory foam can trap heat)
• If you prefer a 'bouncier' mattress feel
• If you're on a very tight budget (quality memory foam starts around £299)

Pocket Spring Mattresses

Pocket spring mattresses contain hundreds (sometimes thousands) of individual springs, each in its own fabric pocket. Unlike old-fashioned spring mattresses where all the springs are connected, each pocket spring moves independently.

What this actually means for your sleep:

• Each spring responds only to the weight directly on top of it
• If your partner moves, you won't feel it (unlike old spring beds)
• Better airflow than memory foam (cooler sleeping)
• More 'traditional' supportive feel

Who they're genuinely good for:

• Anyone who gets too hot with memory foam
• Back and stomach sleepers
• People who prefer a firmer, more responsive feel
• Those wanting traditional support with modern technology

Pricing guide: £249-£600 depending on spring count and materials

Orthopaedic Mattresses

Orthopaedic' is probably the most misunderstood mattress term. It doesn't mean extra-firm (though many are). It just means designed to support your joints and spine properly. You can get orthopaedic memory foam, orthopaedic pocket spring, or orthopaedic hybrid mattresses."

Who they're genuinely good for:

• Anyone with back pain or joint issues
• People recovering from injury
• Those who've been told by a physio to get better mattress support

Important: If you have serious back problems, chat with your physiotherapist before buying. 'Orthopaedic' doesn't automatically mean right for your specific condition.

"King Size Mattresses"

"Super King Mattresses"

Pro tip for choosing size:
"If you're unsure between two sizes, go bigger. We've never had a customer say their mattress was too big, but we've had plenty wish they'd sized up. A king size mattress gives each person the same sleeping space as a single mattress—worth knowing if you're sharing with someone who moves around at night."
