What is the best mattress?
Selecting the right mattress is a highly individualized decision, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution. What works best for you may differ from someone else's preferences. Fortunately, there is a wide array of options tailored to meet specific needs, ranging from various materials and mattress technologies to comfort grades and sizes. Allow us to assist you in discovering the perfect mattress that aligns with your unique requirements.
What mattress size should I get?
When buying a new mattress, size is clearly an important factor. From our small singles to 6-foot wide super kings, we have mattresses for every size bedroom. How do you pick the right one? Some of our top tips:
- Get accurate measurements of your room
- Consider who is using the mattress: do you need space for two or want to spread out?
- Do you already have a bed frame? This will need to match your new mattress. If you're get-ting a new bed as well, don't forget to include the additional size of that in your measurements too!

Choosing the best mattress firmness
Each type of mattress also varies by comfort grade, from soft to very firm support. Every comfort grade has its advantages, and the right one for you depends on your personal preferences but also your favoured sleeping position.
Soft mattresses are best for those who sleep on their side. This is because a soft mattress is the best mattress for cushioning and side sleepers have the most vulnerable pressure points, for example, their hips.
Medium mattresses are best for those who sleep on their front, as they offer enough support for the spine and are very comfortable. Because of this spinal support, they are also best for those who sleep on their back.
Finally, firm mattresses are also recommended for those who sleep on their back. This is because they offer the most support out of all the mattresses, and it’s very important that the spine keeps its natural alignment.
We understand that choosing a mattress online can be difficult, which is why we’re here to help. Take advantage of our 100 Night Comfort Guarantee that enables you to swap your mattress if you're not 100% satisfied, or pop in store to try out our mattresses before you buy.
