Four ways to sleep well

Memory foam

Hugging

Moulds closely to your shape and absorbs movement — good if you share a bed.

Pocket sprung

Responsive

Individually wrapped springs move independently for targeted support and airflow.

Open coil

Classic & budget

A traditional interconnected spring unit: light, affordable, ideal for guest or kids' beds.

Hybrid

Best of both

Springs for support topped with foam for comfort, combining bounce and contouring.

Firmness

Match firmness to how you sleep

A general guide — comfort is personal, and body weight and any back problems matter too.

Side sleepers

Soft to medium

Lets the shoulders and hips sink in, keeping the spine straight.

Back sleepers

Medium to medium-firm

Supports the lower back while staying comfortable.

Front sleepers

Medium-firm to firm

Stops the hips sinking, which can strain the lower back.
