Comfort mattress

First, think about your preferred firmness. Soft mattresses are great for side sleepers, while medium to firm options offer robust support for back and stomach sleepers. If you share a bed, look for good motion isolation and edge support to minimise disturbances.

Next, review the materials. Memory foam provides contouring pressure relief, latex offers buoyant support and cooling, and pocket-sprung systems combine coils with comfort layers for durability. An orthopaedic or posture-support design can be beneficial if you have back pain or specific alignment needs.

Size and space matter too. For a couple, a king size or super king size mattress may improve comfort, while a double or single fits smaller rooms. Consider a base that suits your room layout and maximises under-bed storage if needed.

Memory foam mattresses are known for excellent pressure relief and contouring support, ideal for relieving hip and shoulder stress. Hybrid mattresses pair memory foam or latex layers with a pocket-sprung coil system to balance comfort and support and often improve airflow for cooler sleep.

Latex mattresses offer natural bounce and durability, with good temperature regulation and hypoallergenic properties. Orthopaedic or posture-support mattresses focus on spinal alignment and can be beneficial for back pain sufferers. For those seeking a budget-friendly option, a mattress in a box with core support can be a smart choice while still delivering comfort.

Measure your bedroom and ensure the mattress leaves room for a bed frame, nightstands, and movement. If you sleep with a partner, ensure there’s enough width for comfortable turning. Remember common UK sizes: single (90 x 190 cm), double (135 x 190 cm), king size (150 x 200 cm), and super king size (180 x 200 cm). Some Wowcher deals also include a base or divider accessories to maximise space efficiency.

If you’re upgrading a guest room or a child’s bedroom, a memory foam mattress with a compact footprint can be a great option, while master bedrooms may benefit from a larger latex mattress or hybrid mattress for couples.

Look for gel-infused memory foam or open-cell foams that promote airflow. Naturally breathable covers, bamboo or Tencel blends, help wick away moisture. If you tend to sleep hot, a latex layer or a pocket-sprung core with good air channels can keep temperatures more comfortable through the night.

Some Wowcher deals highlight anti-dust-mmite fabrics and hypoallergenic materials, which is ideal for sensitive sleepers. Combined with a breathable mattress protector, you’ll have a cooler, more hygienic sleeping surface.

Rotate your mattress every 3–6 months to promote even wear and extend its life. Use a breathable, waterproof mattress protector to guard against spills and stains, and wash any removable covers according to the care label. Vacuuming the surface lightly can help keep dust and allergens at bay.

Avoid jumping on the bed and use a properly sized bed frame or base to prevent sagging. When possible, keep the room well ventilated and maintain a regular sleep routine to maximise the benefits of your comfort mattress.

Check the trial period and return policy. A generous sleep trial (30–100 nights) lets you test comfort in real life. Verify warranty terms, especially for higher-end memory foam and latex models, to protect against sagging and structural failure.

Confirm delivery options, including free or discounted delivery within the UK and whether there’s setup assistance. If you’re building a complete sleep upgrade, look for bundles that include a compatible bed frame or a topper to personalise your comfort level without breaking the bank.
