Assessed from Bodyshape's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
This is a sensible pick if you want a supportive hybrid without spending a lot. The pocket springs react independently to movement, which means you're less likely to feel a partner shifting during the night. A foam encapsulated border reinforces the perimeter, so you can sleep close to the edge without that rolling-off feeling. It's handcrafted in the UK, from a National Bed Federation approved brand, and carries a bio-based antibacterial treatment. Yes, the 20cm depth is modest, but shallower mattresses fit standard fitted sheets more easily. The 100-night trial gives you a full season to decide, and the 5-year guarantee covers you afterwards.
Key Features & what's inside
- Reflex Foam. A soft, flexible reflex foam layer that supports spinal alignment. In practice, this means your back stays in a more neutral position as you sleep.
- High Density Memory Foam. A layer of high density memory foam for added support. It contours gently to your shape, easing pressure at the hips and shoulders.
- Pocket Springs. 1,000 sturdy pocket springs with a unique curvature, each sat in its own individual pocket. The high-tensile springs react independently to movement, which means less disturbance when a partner turns over.
- Foam Encapsulated Border. A reinforced perimeter made from durable, sturdy foam. This firms up the edges, so sitting on the side of the bed or sleeping near it feels stable.

Who's it NOT for?
If you like a plush, sink-in feel, the medium to firm tension will likely feel too solid. Lightweight side sleepers may not press far enough into the foam to get proper contouring. And if you prefer a tall, hotel-style mattress, the 20cm depth will feel slightly low. It's also single-sided, so it needs rotating twice a year rather than flipping.

How firm is the Bodyshape 1000 Pocket Hybrid mattress?
Bodyshape describes it as medium to firm. That means noticeable support with a little give from the memory foam layer on top. It suits back and stomach sleepers well, though lightweight side sleepers may find it slightly too firm for their shoulders and hips.
Does the Bodyshape 1000 Pocket Hybrid come with a trial?
Yes, it comes with a 100-night trial, which gives you a good few months to settle in and decide. There's also a 5-year guarantee covering manufacturing faults after that.
How deep is the Bodyshape 1000 Pocket Hybrid mattress?
It's 20cm deep, which is on the shallower side for a hybrid. The upside is that standard fitted sheets go on easily; the downside is it may feel a little low-profile if you're used to a taller mattress.
Do you need to flip the Bodyshape 1000 Pocket Hybrid?
No, it's single-sided so it shouldn't be flipped. It does need rotating end to end twice a year to keep the wear even across the springs and foam layers.
What sizes does the Bodyshape 1000 Pocket Hybrid come in?
It's available in UK Single, Small Double, Double, King and Super King, with prices ranging from £234 to £408 depending on the size you choose.
