Your Guide to Mattresses
A good mattress is the most important investment you'll make for your wellbeing at home. You spend roughly eight hours a night on it — more time than with any other piece of furniture — and the quality of that sleep affects everything from your mood and energy to your long-term back health.
The mattress market can feel overwhelming, but the choice comes down to three main types: pocket spring, memory foam, and hybrid. Pocket spring mattresses offer responsiveness and breathability, with individual springs that move independently to support different body zones. Memory foam moulds closely to your shape and excels at isolating partner movement. Hybrid mattresses combine a pocket spring core with foam comfort layers, giving you the advantages of both.
Style & Trends
While mattresses sit hidden beneath your sheets, the type you choose influences which bed frame works best. A thicker mattress (28–30 cm) on a high bed frame can make the bed the room's focal point, perfect for hotel-suite styling with layered bedding. Lower-profile mattresses (20–23 cm) suit Japanese-inspired platform beds and rooms with lower ceilings. Consider the overall bed height — mattress plus frame — when planning nightstand heights and the visual balance of the room.
What to Look For
UK standard sizes are Single (90x190 cm), Double (135x190 cm), King (150x200 cm), and Super King (180x200 cm). Expect to pay £300–£600 for a quality pocket spring or foam mattress, and £600–£1,200 for premium hybrids from specialist brands. Many now offer 100-night trial periods so you can test at home. Replace your mattress every 7–10 years regardless of how it feels — support degrades gradually and dust mites accumulate.
