Best Deal
Panda London Hybrid Bamboo Mattress Pro
Score: 92/100
This breathable mattress has a soft bamboo cover, which is naturally moisture-wicking and antibacterial, and it was a huge hit with our panel. The hybrid design combines 1,500 pocket springs with layers of orthopaedic-grade memory foam that form a medium-firm surface our panellists found “luxuriously comfortable.”
Some said it was firmer and deeper (27cm) than they expected but it kept their shoulders, hips and lower back properly supported throughout the night. And any excuse to treat yourself to new sheets...

Harrison Spinks Pure Sensation Pillowtop Mattress
Score: 91/100
Boasting an impressive 8,250 springs and a built-in pillowtop layer for added comfort, this premium mattress has a super plush feel. It’s handcrafted in Yorkshire and is filled with natural materials, including wool, cotton, hemp and flax to promote airflow – something that stood out in testing, with our panellists scoring it highly for temperature regulation. It doesn’t have any handles for easy rotation, so it’s a two-person job, but otherwise, this is a fantastic mattress to snap up at a discounted price.

If you’re worried about getting your new mattress up the stairs or through narrow doorways, opt for this Origin design, which arrives in a compact box. It’s made up of pocket springs and foam, as well as a layer of latex and wool, plus a Tencel cover that helped keep our tired testers cool overnight. Some even said they felt less sweaty.
Panellists also said it was super quiet at night, making it a good pick if you or your partner toss and turn a lot.
Note, the mattress itself isn’t discounted but you do get two Origin Coolmax AirFoam Pillows added in for free – a recipe for the perfect night’s sleep if you ask us.

With just the right amount of ‘sink-in’ softness, this is a reliable mattress that most testers said they’d happily recommend to friends and families. It was particularly popular with side sleepers who liked the supportive combination of springs and foam. Some found dips formed in the mattress over time, but this didn’t impact comfort levels.
This is another one that’s delivered in a box for ease, and the brand commits to carbon-neutral deliveries, which are offset through donations to environmental causes. All of Simba’s mattresses are made in the UK from recycled materials too.

Staples and Co Artisan Pure Opulence Mattress

It’s very deep at 34cm so you may need to invest in some new sheets but otherwise this is a smart, premium buy to snap up while it’s on sale.

Slumberland Air 6.0 Memory Mattress
Slumberland Air 6.0 Memory Mattress
Score: 86/100
Available in three firmness levels, this mattress offers something for everyone. Inside, it combines 1,500 mini springs and 1,050 full height pocket springs to offer plenty of support at night. Plus, it was quiet in testing too, so you won’t be disturbed by a partner tossing and turning.
It’s another tall mattress, at 33cm, so you may need to buy new sheets to cover it (and ensure the sheets won’t ping off straight away) but this is a top-rated mattress that delivers on softness and breathability.
