Mattresses

What is the best mattress?

When it comes to mattresses, it’s not a case of one style fits all. There are a variety of ways you can tailor your mattress to your sleeping style - by comfort grade, type of spring, gel, or foam, and by size and brand too. Use the links above to navigate to your preferred mattress type or read on for more information.

What mattress size should I get?

From small singles to 6-foot- wide super kings, we have mattresses for every bed. To make the ideal choice, you need to:

• 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 buying a new bed frame as well, don't forget to check those dimensions against your room measurements too!

If you’re at all unsure of the right size, visit our mattress size guide.

Finally, TheraPur mattresses use ActiGel, which is a support layer exclusive to TheraPur; this features an open cell structure to mould to your shape while maintaining a comfortable temperature throughout the night.

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. To help, check out our personal comfort guide, which provides specific advice on the best mattresses for your 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.
