The bed frame decides how the room looks; the mattress decides how you sleep. We stock three pocket-sprung tensions and two foam constructions so you can match the mattress to how you actually sleep rather than to a marketing name.
How many pocket springs do you need?
1000 pocket springs suits guest rooms, children and lighter sleepers — responsive, well supported and the best value in the range. 2000 is the sensible default for a main bed shared by two adults: more springs means each one is smaller, so the mattress follows your shape more closely and transfers less movement across the bed. 3000 is for heavier builds or anyone who wants the firmest support with a pillow-top surface.
Each spring sits in its own fabric pocket and compresses independently, which is why a partner turning over does not roll you with them.
Memory foam and orthopaedic
Memory foam moulds to pressure points and holds warmth; orthopaedic is firmer and flatter, and is the usual recommendation for back pain. Both are available with a pillow-top finish. If you are pairing a mattress with a storage bed, read which mattress suits an ottoman or divan.

Questions people ask
Is a 1000 pocket sprung mattress good?
Yes, for the right bed. It's well supported and the best-value sprung mattress in our range (from £149.99 for a single), which makes it a good fit for a guest room, a child's bed or one lighter sleeper. If two adults share it every night, step up to the 2000 Pocket Sprung: smaller springs follow your shape more closely and pass less movement across the bed. Our 1000 vs 2000 vs 3000 guide goes through it.
What is the difference between 1000, 2000 and 3000 pocket springs?
The number is how many individual pocket springs the mattress has, so a higher number means more, smaller springs. More springs track your body more closely and isolate movement better. The 3000 is also the firmest sprung mattress in our range.
What is a pillow top mattress?
A mattress with an extra quilted comfort layer stitched onto the top. It feels softer when you first lie down, while the springs underneath do the supporting. It can't be flipped, only rotated. Read what a pillow top mattress is and who it suits.
What is a sprung mattress?
Any mattress with a core of steel springs. In a pocket sprung mattress each spring sits in its own fabric pocket and moves on its own, so a partner turning over doesn't roll you with them. All our sprung mattresses are pocket sprung.
How much is a memory foam mattress?
Our Memory Foam Mattress starts at £234.99 for a single and comes with a 5 year guarantee. The firmer Memory Orthopaedic starts at £109.99.
Which mattress is best for a bad back?
A firm, flat mattress is the usual recommendation, which in our range means the Memory Orthopaedic or the 3000 Pocket Sprung. If you have ongoing back pain, it's worth asking your GP or physio what they suggest for you.
