Find the perfect memory foam option for everyone in the family, with choices from leading brands like Dormeo, Nectar, Sweet Dreams, and Tempur.
Individually wrapped springs in fabric pockets ensure a tranquil night's sleep, especially for couples and back/front sleepers. Designed to give you the best support and comfort, each spring adjusts and conforms to the shape of your body.

You can also customise the feel by adding a mattress topper for your preferred comfort level.

Also known as Bonnell springs, traditional open coil mattresses reduce pressure on your body for a better night's sleep. By distributing your weight evenly, these mattresses help to alleviate pressure on specific areas of your body, reducing the likelihood of waking up with aches and pains.
An open coil platform is an excellent choice for budget-conscious buyers. However, this doesn't imply any compromise on comfort or quality. Choose from a range of firmness levels from leading brands like Airsprung, Healthbeds, and Highgrove Beds to help ensure you stay comfortable throughout the night.
Also known as a rolled mattress, these offer excellent support and comfort. Rolled and vacuum-packed for easy transport to your bedroom, they are a great choice for those with limited access. They are also an excellent option for individuals undertaking a home move and in need of a new bed.
We have a variety of rolled products from well-known brands such as Breasley, Dormeo, Emma, and Nectar. We have a range of different sizes, comfort levels, and materials to fit your preferences.
As the name implies, orthopaedic mattresses (or ortho mattresses) draw inspiration from orthopaedics, a medical branch focused on the functionality of bones and muscles. These firmer-than-average platforms offer enhanced support, promoting healthy spinal alignment and even weight distribution.
Doctors occasionally recommend orthopaedic mattresses for individuals experiencing joint, back, or muscle pain during sleep. They also provide strong support for seniors, athletes, those with an active lifestyle, or individuals recovering from an injury. Those who prefer a firmer feel or sleep on their fronts equally favour them.
Choose from different types of fillings, such as memory foam, pocket springs and reflex foam from leading brands such as Sealy. They come in various sizes, like small double and super king, so you can find one that fits your personal preference.
Hybrid options seamlessly combine cutting-edge sleep technologies, merging springs and foam layers to deliver an unmatched sleep experience.

What is the best mattress to buy?
The ‘best’ is one that suits your own needs & is within your budget. Our bed experts can ask you some questions to understand what you need, and then they'll help you find the best mattress at the lowest price possible.
Which mattress is right for me?
Just as we are all individual, so too are our sleep needs. Choosing the right one is dependent on many factors & is a personal choice. When deciding, think about your sleeping position, body type, bed sharing, and your tension preference (soft, medium, or firm).
How do I choose the best mattress?
Choosing the perfect one is a subjective decision, as there's no universal solution. Fortunately, the wide range of options caters to individual preferences, offering diverse materials, technologies, comfort grades, and sizes.
What is the average cost of a mattress in the UK?
The average cost can vary widely, depending on factors such as the type, size, brand, and quality. In the UK, you can find products with prices ranging from around £100 to several thousand pounds.
How much should I pay?
Determining the cost of a quality mattress depends on factors such as construction and materials. Cheaper ones may seem like a good deal at first, but they might not help you sleep well and could cause more problems in the long run. We recommend spending as much as you can comfortably afford. We offer a range of payment options to help you with your purchase.
Is it worth spending money on an expensive mattress?
Expensive mattresses usually last longer than cheaper ones because they are made with better materials. These materials make the mattress stronger and able to handle the everyday wear and tear. When the mattress is more durable, you don't have to replace it as often.
How do I choose the right firmness level?
Each comfort grade, ranging from soft to very firm, offers distinct advantages tailored to personal preferences and sleeping positions. Soft options are ideal for side sleepers, providing ample cushioning for sensitive pressure points like the hips. If you're a front sleeper, consider a medium tension for spine support and comfort. Back sleepers typically prefer firm options, as they provide optimal support and help maintain the natural alignment of the spine.
What type of mattress should I get if I sleep on my side?
Side sleepers should always look for products that respond to the curves in their body and offer support & pressure point relief, notably for the ears, shoulders, and hips. Although side sleepers can opt for a variety of mattress types and fillings, providing they offer adequate support and cushioning, you might prefer a medium comfort grade. If you weigh over 14 stone, choose a firm or very firm mattress to support your spine and avoid back problems. The heavier you are, the firmer your mattress should be to ensure it offers you the support you need.
What type of mattress should I get if I sleep on my back?
Medium to very firm mattresses are a good choice for supporting your spine and preventing back problems. Pressure points for back sleepers include the shoulders, bottom, heels and most importantly, the spine. Sleepers weighing more than fourteen stone should opt for a firm or very firm mattress to prevent their spine sinking into the mattress adding extra pressure and causing back problems. Traditional sprung, pocket spring, memory foam and orthopaedic options are all popular choices for back sleepers.
What type of mattress should I get if I sleep on my stomach/front?
Front/stomach sleepers often find medium, medium firm, or firm mattresses supply the level of support needed to keep the natural alignment of their spine. Pressure points for front sleepers are typically the rib cage, knees, & thighs, however, these points require less support and cushioning so the focus for front sleepers is the spine. Too soft a mattress can result in the torso sinking into the mattress resulting in an arched spine, aches, and pains. Too firm a mattress will prevent your spine from falling into its natural curve, again causing aches and pains. Popular choices for front sleepers include pocket spring mattresses, memory foam mattresses and those made up of different fillings (combination and hybrid mattresses). In our "Help and Advice" section, you'll find tips on choosing the right mattress for different types of sleepers.
What type of mattress is best for a bad back?
There is a wide range of mattresses aimed at promoting spinal alignment and relieving back pain. People often associate back pain with needing a firm mattress, this is not always the case as one that is too firm will not supply the support your spine needs. A firmer mattress is better for sleepers who weigh sixteen stones or more while sleepers suffering from back pain and weighing ten stones or below, typically prefer a softer, supportive mattress. Options include orthopaedic mattresses, spring based/hybrid mattresses, latex filled and memory foam. What works well for one person with back pain might not be the best solution for another.
What size mattress should I get?
Mattress size matters. Measure your room and think about who will be sleeping on it. Ensure it matches your existing bed frame, or consider the new frame's size if you're getting one. Explore our detailed bed size buying guide in the help and advice section.
How often should I replace my mattress?
Unfortunately, there is no "one size fits all" answer however, in line with advice from the National Bed Federation, we recommend replacing it every 7-8 years.
Can I just replace the mattress, or do I need to buy a new bed frame/base?
Yes, you can as long as the base is the same size and in good condition. It is important to consider how long you have had your current base. Where possible, it's a good idea to get a new base when you buy your mattress for a better sleep experience. We have a large bed frame collection available.
How do I care for my mattress?
Taking care of your new mattress is important to keep your warranty valid and ensure it lasts longer. All our products come with a handy care guide detailing how to best look after your investment. Using a mattress protector will protect your new investment. They provide a protective shield, safeguarding you from potential dust mites that may have settled into your mattress.
What is a vacuum-packed mattress?
Sometimes called 'bed in a box' or 'rolled-up' mattress, these provide a comfy and supportive night's sleep. These products arrive boxed up, making delivery efficient and eco-friendlier. When taking delivery of a vacuum-packed mattress, simply unwrap in a well-ventilated room (windows open) and roll flat. Leave it a few hours to expand then climb into bed!
Can I sleep on my new mattress straight away?
Traditional, unrolled mattresses are ready for sleeping on instantly. Rolled products take 2-6 hours to expand. In some cases, it can be 48 hours before they reach their maximum height.
How can I dispose of my old mattress?
We offer a mattress removal and recycle service at Land of Beds. Just take apart your old bed and we'll handle the rest!
Can I buy on finance?
Yes. We have different ways to help, like paying later with Klarna or getting interest-free credit with no deposit.
