How to choose your dream mattress

Finding the perfect mattress can be difficult. Here’s our handy guide to make your shopping experience a breeze.

What type of mattress do I need?

Finding the perfect mattress can make all the difference in getting a good night’s sleep. Whether you’re upgrading your bed or buying one for the first time.

Sprung Mattresses

Sprung mattresses offer reliable comfort with pocket sprung and coil sprung options. Coil sprung mattresses use connected springs for consistent support, while pocket sprung mattresses feature individually wrapped coils for more responsive support where you need it.

Hybrid Mattresses

Combining the support of inner sprung coils with the comfort of foam or latex, hybrid mattresses offer a balanced sleep experience.

Memory Foam Mattresses

Memory foam mattresses are known for their ability to contour to your body, offering excellent pressure relief. Ideal for side sleepers or those with joint pain, they provide a firm yet cushioned feel.

Cooling Mattresses

These mattresses use materials like gel-infused foam, breathable covers, and phase-change technologies to regulate temperature and reduce heat buildup.

Choosing the Right Level of Support

Mattress firmness plays a crucial role in your overall comfort and sleep quality. The level of firmness you choose depends on your sleeping position, body weight, and personal preferences.

Medium/Firm

A medium/firm mattress offers a balance between comfort and support. It's perfect for back sleepers and combination sleepers who need a mattress that supports spinal alignment without being too firm.

Medium

Medium mattresses are the most popular option because they offer a versatile balance of comfort and support. They are suitable for most sleeping positions, especially side sleepers, as they provide enough softness for pressure relief while maintaining adequate support for spinal alignment.

Firm

Firm mattresses offer the most support, ideal for stomach sleepers, back sleepers with a heavier build, or anyone who needs extra support for their spine. They help maintain proper posture and prevent sinking too deeply into the mattress.

What size of mattress do I need?

Selecting the right mattress size is key to ensuring comfort, supporting your sleeping habits, and fitting your bedroom space.

Single (3ft)

Perfect for children, guest rooms, or smaller spaces. Single mattresses are ideal for one person, offering just the right amount of space for a good night’s sleep..

Small Double (4ft)

A great option for smaller bedrooms or single sleepers who prefer a bit more space. Also known as a "three-quarter" bed, it provides extra room compared to a single but is still compact.

Double (4ft6)

The most popular size for couples or single sleepers who like a bit of extra room. A double mattress offers ample space while being suitable for most bedrooms.

King (5ft)

Ideal for couples who want more space to spread out. King-sized mattresses offer the perfect balance of comfort and room for a relaxing night’s sleep.

Super King (6ft)

If you love extra space, the super king mattress is the ultimate luxury. Perfect for couples who need plenty of room to move around, it’s also ideal for larger bedrooms where you can really stretch out..

Features to consider

Understanding the key features of a mattress helps you make a more informed choice. From pressure relief to convenience, these features can significantly improve your sleep experience.

Orthopaedic

Orthopaedic mattresses are designed with firm support to maintain proper spinal alignment, making them an excellent choice for individuals with back pain or those who need extra support throughout the night. They're also ideal for growing kids, as the firm structure helps support their developing spines, promoting healthy posture as they sleep.

Hypoallergenic

hypoallergenic mattress made from high-density foam top or with allergen-resistant features will help reduce dust mites, pollen, and other irritants.

Pillow Top

A pillow-top mattress features an additional cushioning layer sewn into the top of the mattress for an extra soft feel. Many pillow-top mattresses also include a layer of memory foam, which moulds to the shape of your body, providing enhanced comfort and support.

Removable Cover

A removable cover allows you to easily clean and maintain the mattress. This is particularly beneficial for those with allergies or households with pets.

Rolled

A rolled mattress is vacuum-packed and compressed for easy shipping and storage. It is ideal for those who need a mattress delivered quickly or are moving into a new space.
