Bodyshape Vitality Memory Foam Ortho Mattress
The Bodyshape Vitality is a firm memory foam mattress with a straightforward two-layer build and an 18cm depth, which is shallower than many foam mattresses, so it may suit slatted bases and adjustable setups where a slimmer profile helps.

The Bodyshape Vitality comes in five UK sizes, from Single to Super King, and is one of the more affordable routes into memory foam. You get a 100-night trial and a 3-year guarantee. It is handcrafted in the UK, hypoallergenic and a National Bed Federation Approved Brand, so the low price does not mean corners cut on the basics. The guarantee is shorter than some brands offer at this level.

Why should you choose this mattress?
This mattress suits you if you want a firm feel at a genuinely low price. 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 paid room of choice delivery. Old mattress recycling costs extra. The 100-night trial gives you a full season to decide, which takes much of the risk out of buying unseen.
Key features & layer details
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.

Best suited for?
Budget buyers
One of the more affordable routes into memory foam, it also carries National Bed Federation Approved Brand status, so the lower price does not mean skimping on the basics.
Allergy sufferers
The hypoallergenic build suits anyone sensitive to common bedroom irritants, giving a memory foam option made with that concern in mind.
Back sleepers
A firm 15.5cm Reflex Memory foam layer forms the bulk of the mattress, which means a supportive, steady feel when lying flat.
Combination sleepers
The Reflex Memory foam adapts to changes in weight, pressure and activity, so support shifts with you as you change position through the night.
Guest rooms
Five UK sizes from Single to Super King and a handcrafted, approved build make it an easy, affordable pick for a spare room.
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. If you prefer springy, traditional support, this might not be the best choice.
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 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 an affordable starting price, 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.
