The right mattress makes all the difference to how you sleep and wake up feeling. Get a cosy single for a child鈥檚 room or a small double for teens or solo sleepers who like a bit of a sprawl. There鈥檚 also a supportive double mattress for couples or a king or super king for full-on, unadulterated luxury.
A good mattress is more than just a place to plonk yourself down for the night. It鈥檚 the absolute foundation of great sleep and brighter mornings. Whether you鈥檙e upgrading your main bed, refreshing a spare room, or finally replacing that tired old thing that鈥檚 seen better days, you鈥檒l find comfy options for every room, every type of sleeper, and every budget right here.
Not sure which size you need? Here鈥檚 a quick guide, no fuss!
Top tip: Always check your room size and bed frame first, especially if you're upgrading. Wouldn't want any tight squeezes on delivery day!
There鈥檚 no one-size-fits-all, is there? Here鈥檚 what to consider:
On average, a mattress lasts a good 7 to 10 years, depending on quality and how much punishment it gets. If yours is sagging, noisy, or causing morning aches, it鈥檚 definitely time for a refresh. Don't be a martyr! Consider replacing sooner if it鈥檚 in a guest bed used regularly, or if your needs have changed (e.g. growing teens, pesky back issues, or if you're expecting a little one).
Your bed base matters more than you think. Slatted bases work well with most types, but foam mattresses specifically need slats closer than 7cm apart to give proper support. Divans or ottomans are perfect for adding storage and offering a wonderfully even support. Always check mattress depth versus your headboard height and ensure your fitted sheets will still fit! Wouldn't want any faff there.
