Memory Foam Mattresses

How memory foam can improve your sleep

The visco-elastic material has unique properties that can help you achieve perfect comfort. As your body heats the foam, it moulds to your contours for truly bespoke support all night. Here are a few more benefits of sleeping on memory foam:

• Evenly distributes weight
• Promotes proper spinal alignment
• Alleviates joint pain
• Enhances blood circulation
• Absorbs movement to minimise disruptions when sharing

Choosing the right memory foam mattress for you

Our range includes quality products from trusted brands at price points to suit everyone. From the original makers, TEMPUR memory foam mattresses come with high-end features like Cool Touch™ technology, that help you feel perfectly rested. As an alternative, our best-selling Silentnight memory foam mattresses offer luxurious sleep at an affordable price.

It's important to find the mattress that complements your sleep position, and memory foam is ideal for most sleepers as it adapts to your movement. We recommend different firmness levels of memory foam to ensure the best night's sleep:

• Side sleepers: Soft and medium
• Front sleepers: Medium and firm
• Back sleepers: Medium to very firm

If you find even the firmest memory foam mattress too soft, then a hybrid mattress might be the right choice for you. These have both pocket springs and a thick layer of foam, giving you a firmer base as well as a pillowy cushion - the best of both worlds. Explore our advice on finding the best mattress to alleviate back pain to uncover why you're having difficulties getting comfortable and how to help.

How to care for a memory foam mattress

To help the longevity and comfort of your memory foam mattress, regularly rotate the mattress to promote even wear. If you like a hot cup of something soothing before bed, consider a mattress protector to safeguard against spills and stains. It's also important to gently hoover your mattress periodically to remove dust and allergens - every month is recommended but you can get away with a three-monthly basis if you can't find the time.
