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 budget-friendly option that pairs memory foam comfort with the familiar, slightly bouncy support of open coil springs. The bamboo cover gives a hypoallergenic finish, which means it should suit you if allergies are a concern, and the soft white fibre layer adds breathability to offset memory foam's tendency to hold warmth. Bodyshape is a National Bed Federation Approved Brand and the mattress conforms to BS7177: 2008 for fire resistance. Free delivery to most locations, next day weekday delivery, and optional extras such as room-of-choice delivery for £20.00 or old mattress removal for £35.00 make the buying process straightforward. At £189 upwards, it's honest value rather than luxury.
Key Features & what's inside
- Bamboo Cover. A gentle bamboo fabric cover made from clean, high quality fibres with a hypoallergenic finish. That means less irritation for sensitive skin and allergy sufferers.
- Soft White Fibres. A layer of soft synthetic white fibres that is notably breathable and comforting. It helps air move through the top of the mattress, which you'll feel as a slightly cooler sleep surface.
- Memory Foam. A 2.5cm layer of high density memory foam that adapts around your body. It's a fairly slim layer, so expect a gentle contouring hug rather than a deep sink-in feel.
- Traditional Open Coil Springs. Interlaced springs joined in a lattice design, which distribute your weight evenly to relieve built-up pressure and support spinal alignment. Because the coils are connected, movement does transfer across the bed more than it would with pocket springs.
- Wire Frame Border. A wire frame around the border of the mattress. This helps the edges keep their shape over time.

Who's it NOT for?
If you share a bed with a restless partner, the open coil design transfers movement, and owners do mention bounce when a partner moves. Fans of a deep memory foam cradle may find the 2.5cm layer a little shallow, and those wanting a genuinely firm feel should note this is rated Medium.
