At 24cm deep, the Bodyshape Vitality Tufted Ortho pairs interlaced open coil springs with soft polyester fibre fillings and a knitted cover, which means an evenly supported, slightly firmer sleep surface rather than the sink-in feel of foam. It's handcrafted in the UK, comes with a 100-night trial and a 1-year guarantee, and holds a 4.7 rating from 34 reviews on the mattressonline.co.uk product page. A sensible budget choice, particularly for guest rooms, though the short guarantee is worth weighing up.

Why should you choose this mattress?
This is a mattress for people who want straightforward, firmer support without a big spend. The traditional open coil springs are joined in a lattice design, which means your weight is spread evenly across the surface to relieve pressure and help spinal alignment. It's reversible, so you can flip it to extend its life, and owners note good edge support. Delivery is generous: free to most locations, with next day weekday options, a two-hour time slot, paid room of choice delivery and old mattress recycling for an extra charge. Yes, the guarantee is only 1 year, which is shorter than most brands offer, but at an affordable starting price the value case is clear.
Key features & layer details
Knitted cover
A soft knitted finish that adds cosiness and warmth. It also helps airflow and breathability, which means a slightly cooler night's sleep.
Soft White Fibres
Soft synthetic polyester fillings that create a cosy top feel. They're durable and resilient, holding their shape and quality over time.
Traditional Open Coil Springs
Interlaced springs joined together in a lattice design, which means your weight is distributed evenly across the mattress. This relieves built-up pressure and supports spinal alignment.

Best suited for?
Budget buyers
The copy calls it a sensible budget choice with a clear value case, giving firm open coil support without a big spend.
Guest rooms
Described as a particularly good fit for spare rooms, its reversible build and good edge support suit a bed that different visitors use.
Back sleepers
Interlaced open coil springs and a medium firm feel spread your weight evenly, which means a level, supported surface rather than a sink-in feel.
Warm sleepers
The knitted cover helps airflow and breathability, which means a slightly cooler night's sleep than a heavily padded top might give.
If you love a soft, cradling surface, this medium to firm open coil design will feel too solid. Couples may notice more movement transfer than with pocket springs, as the coils are interlaced. And if a long guarantee matters to you, the 1-year cover here is brief.
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 Tufted Ortho mattress?
Bodyshape describes it as medium to firm. Owner reviews tend to place it at the firmer end, which suits back and front sleepers well, although lightweight side sleepers may find it a little too firm at the shoulders and hips.
Does the Bodyshape Vitality mattress have a trial period?
Yes, it comes with a 100-night trial, so you can sleep on it at home before committing. The guarantee, though, is 1 year, which is shorter than most brands offer.
Is the Bodyshape Vitality Tufted Ortho a memory foam mattress?
No. Despite some retailer listings categorising it as memory foam, the construction is traditional open coil springs with soft polyester fibre fillings and a knitted cover. Expect a springier, firmer feel rather than the slow sink of memory foam.
What sizes does the Bodyshape Vitality mattress come in?
It's available in UK Single, Small Double, Double and King. The mattress is 24cm deep.
Can I get old mattress removal with delivery?
Yes. Old mattress recycling is available for an extra charge. Delivery is free to most locations, with next day weekday delivery, a choice of weekday up to 60 days ahead, or weekend options, plus a two-hour time slot. Room of choice delivery is a paid extra.
