Assessed from Bodyshape's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
This mattress suits you if you want a firm feel at a genuinely low price, starting from £189.00. The 15.5cm Reflex Memory foam layer adapts to changes in weight and pressure, which means support shifts with you as you move rather than staying rigid. A 2.5cm high density memory foam layer moulds around your body for that classic sunken hug. Free delivery to most locations comes with a two-hour time slot, plus next day (weekdays only) or weekend options, and room of choice delivery for £20.00. Old mattress recycling costs £35.00. The 100-night trial gives you a full season to decide, which takes much of the risk out of buying unseen.
Key Features & what's inside
- Reflex Memory Foam. A 15.5cm layer of Reflex Memory foam that adapts to changes in weight, pressure and activity, which means you get targeted support that responds as you shift position through the night. This is the bulk of the mattress and where its firm, supportive character comes from.
- High Density Memory Foam. A 2.5cm layer of high density memory foam sits within the core, moulding around your body for a weightless feel. It adds a touch of cosy comfort to soften the firm base beneath.

Who's it NOT for?
At 18cm deep with an all-foam build, this is not the mattress for anyone who wants a plush, deep-cushioned feel or dislikes the sunken hug of memory foam. Lightweight side sleepers may find the firm feel puts a little too much pressure on hips and shoulders. Fans of springy, traditional support should look elsewhere.
Bodyshape Vitality Memory Foam Ortho Mattress
How firm is the Bodyshape Vitality mattress?
Bodyshape rates it as Firm. Owner feedback broadly agrees, describing a firm feel with a sunken body hug from the memory foam, although one reviewer found it slightly softer than expected. If you sleep on your back or front, or simply prefer a firmer surface, it should suit you well.
Does the Bodyshape Vitality come with a trial period?
Yes, it comes with a 100-night trial, so you can sleep on it at home for over three months before committing. That matters with memory foam, which can take some getting used to if you have previously slept on springs.
How deep is the Bodyshape Vitality mattress?
It is 18cm deep, made up of a 15.5cm Reflex Memory foam layer and a 2.5cm high density memory foam layer. That is slimmer than many foam mattresses, so check your fitted sheets, though it can be a plus for adjustable bases or higher bed frames.
What guarantee does the Bodyshape Vitality have?
It comes with a 3-year guarantee. That is shorter than some brands offer, but it is reasonable at this price point, and the 100-night trial covers the more common scenario of simply deciding the mattress is not right for you.
Is the Bodyshape Vitality mattress hypoallergenic?
Yes. It is hypoallergenic, handcrafted in the UK, conforms to BS7177: 2008 fire resistance standards, and Bodyshape is a National Bed Federation Approved Brand. Foam mattresses like this also tend to suit allergy sufferers because there are no natural fillings for dust mites to settle into.
