Assessed from British Bed Company's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
The main appeal here is straightforward: pocket sprung support at a spare room price. The 1,000 pocket springs respond to each sleeper individually, which means less motion transfer than an open coil mattress if two people share the bed. It is a firm mattress, so it holds you on top of the surface rather than letting you sink in, a feel many back sleepers and heavier bodies prefer. The listing at mattressman.co.uk states free next day delivery, with handling of 0-1 days and transit of 1-3 days, plus a 60-night trial, so a guest bed can be sorted quickly and with a little breathing room to change your mind.
Key Features & what's inside
Awaiting up to date specifications. Please check back later.
Who's it NOT for?
This is a firm mattress, so lightweight side sleepers may find it presses uncomfortably on shoulders and hips rather than letting them settle in. There is no memory foam or padding detail listed, so if you want a plush, contouring feel, look elsewhere. Single and Super King sizes are not listed either.

How firm is the Spare Room Ortho mattress?
It is described as a firm mattress. In practice that means you sleep on top of the surface with minimal sinkage, which tends to suit back and front sleepers. Lighter side sleepers may find it a little too unyielding at the shoulder.
How many springs does the Spare Room Ortho have?
It contains 1,000 pocket springs. Each spring is sewn into its own fabric pocket and compresses independently, which means better contouring to your body shape and less disturbance from a partner's movement than a traditional open coil design.
What sizes does the Spare Room Ortho come in?
It is available in UK Double and UK King, priced from £395.00 with a range of £395 to £475 depending on the size you choose. Single and Super King sizes are not listed.
Does the Spare Room Ortho come with a trial period?
The product page at mattressman.co.uk states a 60-night trial, giving you two months to sleep on it before committing. Check the terms at your chosen retailer before ordering, as conditions can vary depending on where you buy.
How quickly is the Spare Room Ortho delivered?
The listing at mattressman.co.uk states free next day delivery, with a handling time of 0-1 days and transit of 1-3 days. That makes it a practical choice if you need a guest bed ready at short notice.
