Top matress recommendations with Mattressly? The Tempur-Cloud mattress from Tempur-Pedic rounds out the top 10 mattresses in our rating. The Tempur-Cloud is an all-foam mattress made with three layers of different Tempur material foam. Tempur material gives the feel of traditional memory foam, allowing you to slowly sink into the mattress. These foam layers mean that the mattress provides great pressure relief, a particular benefit for side sleepers to prevent too much pressure on the shoulders and hips. Tempur material is designed to adapt to body weight, shape, and heat, conforming to the body to provide support.
If you struggle to regulate body temperature while sleeping and suffer overheating even in the winter, you’ll probably love the OTTY Pure Bamboo and Charcoal mattress. This mattress stays cool even on sweaty summer nights, so it’s a top pick for hot sleepers. It’s also great if you want a mattress that’s a little on the firmer side, but with a supportive top layer. At 25cm, the OTTY Pure mattress is about average for this type of mattress. It has a removable cover for an added layer of protection, but note that it is dry clean only. With up to 2,000 encapsulated pocket springs, as well as two memory foam layers, it’s also pretty comfortable. Our reviewer had been experiencing a lot of lower back pain prior to testing – enough to make getting out of bed or sitting at her desk difficult – but she noticed that the pain lessened when she started sleeping on the OTTY Pure.
Eve has excelled itself with this fantastic hybrid mattress. It is very thick indeed – one of the thickest we tried. The initial “sink” you get from the foam is backed up by very decent support underneath. There are 1,400 full-sized springs in Eve’s premium hybrid, along with five layers of foam. The result is on the firmer side of medium, which is ideal for most people, and those with heavier builds will probably find this the best hybrid for them. The ticking is very soft, and made from a breathable fabric that’s interwoven with silver thread. Yep, it’s literally lined with silver. Apparently this helps protect the mattress from dust, germs and other allergens. Beneath there are two layers of cooling foam – they have graphite in them, which helps distribute the heat that your body radiates. Certainly, we never overheated on this mattress. We also liked the non-slip base, which meant the mattress stayed put on our bed. We were thoroughly impressed with this model, which performed really well against all the other hybrids we tried.
Your bodyweight will determine how firmness feels to you. As a general rule of thumb, heavier people prefer firmer mattresses, as soft mattresses may see them sinking, and not getting enough support. On the other hand, lighter builds might find that firm mattresses result in pressure points. Sleeping position also has a role. Back and stomach sleepers prefer firm mattresses – their weight is more distributed, so they will benefit from the support without feeling any pressure. Side sleepers tend to prefer softer mattresses because they have less surface area in contact with it, which increases pressure on hips and shoulders. Read extra info at Mattressly.
Designed and made in the UK, the Rem-Fit 400 mattress (which arrives in a box) is a medium/firm mattress which offers a good level of support across the entire mattress surface. This is down to the five incredible layers which include a combination of cool open-cell memory foam and 2000 premium pocket springs. It’s suitable for all sleepers – especially side sleepers – and will comfortably withstand a combined weight of 40 stone, too. We tried it out for a few months during the summer and found that it not only relieved us from back pains, but we also found that we didn’t get overheated during the night. Being a hybrid mattress we felt that we really had the best of both worlds, especially if you’re a side sleeper as our reviewer is. We also found that it is competitively priced with the only slight downside being the lingering smell of plastic which one has come to expect now from memory foam mattresses, but this soon fades so you’ll be sleeping in comfort in no time.
