Why is a mattress important?
Choosing a quality mattress helps you get a good night’s sleep by supporting your spine, and posture, which reduces the risk of back aches or pain, leaving both your body and mind feeling more rested and refreshed in the morning.
Which type of mattress is best for me?
There’s no one size fits all solution when it comes to mattresses and your sleep. Choosing the right mattress for you can depend on how you sleep and your personal preferences.
Memory foam mattresses
Memory foam mattresses mould to the contours of your body, offering tailored support and pressure relief. They’re great for people who experience back pain, joint pain, or prefer a mattress that hugs their body shape.
Pocket spring mattresses
Pocket spring mattresses feature individual coils that move independently. They provide excellent support as well as airflow, helping to keep you cool. They’re also a great option if you share a bed, as they minimise motion transfer between you and your partner.
Hybrid mattresses
Our mixed mattresses combine pocket springs, foam, and stretch fabric covers.
Foam covers the central area of pocket springs on all sides, providing edge-to-edge support and preventing sagging. The stretchy fabric that covers our mattresses is resistant to dust and is hypoallergenic, so you can sleep easily throughout every season.
Which mattress is best for side sleepers?
Side sleepers benefit from soft or medium mattresses, as they contour to your shoulders and hips. This helps to relieve pressure in your joints and regulate your spinal alignment.
Which mattress is best for back sleepers?
If you sleep on your back, then a medium or firm mattress could be the best choice for you. This will help your spine stay aligned as you sleep to prevent lower back pain.
Which mattress is best for stomach sleepers?
Stomach sleepers tend to prefer a firmer mattress. It prevents you from sinking too deeply, which can cause back discomfort while you sleep.
How do I choose the right mattress firmness?
As well as the type, the firmness of your mattress also comes down to personal preference, as it can affect how your spine aligns. We’d recommend testing different mattresses in-store before committing to one, whether soft, medium, or hard.
Soft mattress
Soft mattresses provide a plush, cushioned feel. They’re great for lighter sleepers and people who sleep on their side, providing gentle pressure relief around the shoulders and hips.
Medium mattress
Medium mattresses offer a balance between comfort and support. They’re a versatile choice and are comfortable for most sleeping positions and body types.
Hard mattress
Firm mattresses deliver a solid sleeping surface. They’re a good choice if you sleep on your back or stomach, as they provide extra support to your spine.
Combination sleepers
If you tend to move your sleeping position throughout the night, then a medium mattress is the best option for you. It suits most sleeping styles and offers a perfect middle ground between soft and hard.
Our hybrid mattresses also provide a balanced option, adapting to your movements for comfort and support.
What is the best type of mattress for back pain?
For back pain sufferers, a medium-firm mattress may provide the best support. Memory foam or pocket spring designs can also evenly distribute your weight to support the spine. This reduces tension and discomfort throughout the night.

How often should you replace a mattress?
Most mattresses should ideally be replaced every 7–10 years, depending on usage and quality. Proper care, regular rotation, and using a mattress protector can extend its lifespan and keep it feeling fresh and supportive.
What are the signs you need a new mattress?
Mattresses gradually wear down over time, so consider getting a new mattress if yours is starting to sag, feels uneven in areas, or has lumps and worn-out springs.
Constantly waking up with stiffness, aches, or having trouble sleeping could also point towards you needing a new mattress.
How can I clean my new mattress?
You should vacuum your mattress regularly to remove dust and allergens. For any spillages, you should spot clean them as soon as you can, using a mild detergent and some water without soaking it.
You can also use a washable mattress protector for some extra protection from dirt and spillages.
Should I flip my mattress?
Flipping or rotating your mattress can prevent it from sagging and even out wear to maintain its comfort and extend its lifespan.
Some mattresses are designed to be flipped, while others should only be rotated. To check whether a mattress is a flip or turn style, just look in the “product details” section on the product page.
You should only flip your mattress if it is double-sided. Rotating your mattress every three months helps ensure even wear and maintain support.
