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 mattress for buyers who want straightforward memory foam comfort without the price tag. The 2.5cm high density memory foam layer shapes to your body to ease pressure, which means fewer aches at hips and shoulders, while the 15.5cm reflex foam base responds to movement and weight to keep support where you need it. It's handcrafted in the UK, conforms to BS7177: 2008 fire resistance standards, and Bodyshape is a National Bed Federation Approved Brand. Yes, the memory foam layer is thinner than on pricier models, but at from £158.00 with a 100-night trial and free delivery to most locations, that trade-off feels fair.
Key Features & what's inside
- High Density Memory Foam. A 2.5cm layer of high density memory foam that shapes around your body to relieve built-up pressure. You'll feel a gentle cradling at your hips and shoulders rather than a deep sink.
- Reflex Foam. The 15.5cm reflex foam layer responds to changes in movement or weight, tailoring support to the places that need it most. In practice, that means a stable, springy base that stops you feeling stuck in the mattress.
Layer details from mattressonline.co.uk product page, September 2026.
Who's it NOT for?
If you like a deep, plush sink, the 2.5cm memory foam layer is slim, so you'll feel the firmer base fairly quickly. Heavier sleepers wanting a taller, more substantial build may also find the 18cm depth a touch shallow. And if you sleep hot, memory foam does hold some warmth.
Bodyshape Vitality Memory Foam Mattress
How firm is the Bodyshape Vitality mattress?
Bodyshape describes it as medium. That said, one owner reviewer felt it leaned more medium-firm, so if you're a lightweight side sleeper who prefers a softer surface, it may feel slightly firmer than expected.
Does the Bodyshape Vitality come with a trial and guarantee?
Yes. You get a 100-night trial to test it at home, plus a 3-year guarantee. That's a shorter guarantee than some brands offer, but the trial gives you plenty of time to be sure before committing.
What sizes does the Bodyshape Vitality come in?
It's available in UK Single, Small Double, Double, King and Super King, with prices ranging from £158 to £304 depending on the size you choose.
Can you wash the Bodyshape Vitality mattress cover?
Yes, the knitted cover is removable and washable, which is handy for keeping the mattress fresh, especially if you suffer from allergies or share the bed with pets.
How is the Bodyshape Vitality delivered?
Delivery is free to most locations, with next day delivery available on weekdays and weekend delivery also on offer. Delivery to your room of choice costs £20.00, and old mattress removal is available for £35.00.
