The Bodyshape Classic has a 6cm layer of memory foam on a 14cm Reflex foam core, which means you get contouring at the surface with a firmer, more supportive base underneath. It arrives rolled with free next day delivery, comes with a 100 night trial and a 3 year guarantee, and should be given 8 hours to expand fully. It's a simple, affordable option rather than a feature-heavy one, and that's rather the point.

Assessed from Bodyshape's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
Why should you choose this mattress?
This is genuinely budget territory, and the spec is good for the money. The memory foam layer adapts to the contours of your body for pressure relief, which means less strain on hips and shoulders, while the Reflex foam core creates the medium to firm feel that suits most back and front sleepers. It's hypoallergenic and handcrafted in the UK, and the 100 night trial includes the option to swap after 30 nights if the feel isn't right. It's single-sided, so you can't flip it, and the 3 year guarantee is shorter than many rivals offer. But for a first mattress, a spare room or a tight budget, it does the basics well.
Key features & layer details
Knitted cover
A soft knitted cover with breathability, which means heat can escape rather than building up at the surface. It's a simple touch but a welcome one on a memory foam mattress.
6cm memory foam
This layer adapts to the contours of your body for soothing pressure relief. In practice, that means a gentle cradling feel around your hips and shoulders as you settle in.
14cm Reflex foam core
A supportive core that creates the medium to firm feel. This is what keeps your spine aligned and stops you sinking too far into the mattress.

Best suited for?
Back sleepers
The 14cm Reflex foam core gives a medium to firm feel that keeps your spine aligned, so your hips don't sink too far.
Front sleepers
Medium to firm support from the Reflex foam core stops your midsection dropping into the mattress, which helps you stay level while lying on your front.
Budget buyers
The copy calls this genuine budget territory with a good spec for the money, so you get a 3 layer build without paying for extras.
Guest rooms
A simple, affordable build with a 100 night trial makes it a sensible pick for a spare room that doesn't need extra features.
Allergy sufferers
Being hypoallergenic, this mattress suits anyone who wants a bed with an allergy-conscious build alongside its memory foam comfort layer.
It's single-sided, so if you like rotating and flipping a mattress to extend its life, this isn't built for that. Lightweight side sleepers may find the medium to firm feel slightly too solid, and hot sleepers should note memory foam holds warmth despite the breathable cover. The 3 year guarantee is also on the short side.
Save on an earlier or ex-display model
Some retailers still sell the earlier version of this mattress, or ex-display and returned stock at a lower price. These are the sizes where it costs less than the current model's best price.

FAQ's
How firm is the Bodyshape Classic mattress?
The brand describes it as medium to firm. The 6cm memory foam top gives some initial softness and contouring, but the 14cm Reflex foam core keeps the overall feel supportive rather than plush. It suits most back and front sleepers, although lightweight side sleepers may find it a little too firm.
Does the Bodyshape Classic come with a trial period?
Yes, it comes with a 100 night trial, and the trial allows a swap after 30 nights if the feel isn't working for you. There's also a 3 year guarantee, which is shorter than many brands offer, but reasonable at an affordable starting price.
How long does the Bodyshape Classic take to expand?
It's delivered rolled and should be given 8 hours to expand fully before you sleep on it. Delivery is free and next day, so you could order in the morning and be sleeping on it the following night.
How deep is the Bodyshape Classic mattress?
It's 20cm deep in total: a 6cm memory foam layer over a 14cm Reflex foam core, topped with a knitted cover. That's shallower than premium hybrids, so most standard fitted sheets will fit easily, but don't expect a tall, hotel-style profile.
What sizes does the Bodyshape Classic come in?
Five UK sizes: Single, Small Double, Double, King and Super King. Its affordable starting price makes it a sensible pick for kids' rooms or spare beds as well as everyday use.
