Side sleepers

More than half of the UK sleeps on their side, and for this style of sleep, memory foam, gel, or latex mattresses are all great choices, giving both support and softness, preventing pressure points and unwarranted spine curvature.

Back sleepers

This is the recommended position by most medical professionals, and this means there is great flexibility to choose the mattress type that you prefer. Traditional springs, pocket springs, gel, memory foam and latex are all perfectly fine.

Front sleepers

This position is often disapproved, because it risks straining the upper spine, so choosing a suitable mattress is even more important for front sleepers. We recommend memory foam or a hybrid mattress for this sleeping style.

 

 

 

Sizing guide

When considering the size of your bed and mattress you may need to consider your height, the room dimensions, and if the bed is for a child, how much you expect them to grow in the upcoming years. Some styles of bed extend a long way beyond the mattress area too, meaning the bed size needs to be taken into account too. Below is our sizing guide, but each sleeper is individual and it is very much dependant on sleeping methods and uses.

 

Small single

75x190cm – great for children and guest rooms.

Single

90x190cm – Great for young children, teenagers, and small bedrooms. 

Small double

120x90cm – Great for single people or couples in small bedrooms. 

 

Double

135x190cm – Ideal for two average sized people.

King

150x200cm – Great for people over 6ft, and for a luxurious couples' bed. 

Super king

180x200cm – The ultimate in space and luxury, with extra room both ways.
