Assessed from the specification published by Archers Sleepcentre, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
The main appeal is simplicity at a low price. The reflex foam core distributes your weight evenly, which means fewer pressure points at the hips and shoulders, and the medium firmness suits most sleeping positions. The white fibre fillings are hypo-allergenic and hold their shape well, a plus if you're sensitive to dust or allergens. Because it's double-sided you can flip it regularly, which should help it wear more evenly over time. Yes, at 18cm it's a shallow mattress, but that keeps the price down, currently £198 to £293 depending on size, and makes it easier to move upstairs. If you want a straightforward, flippable foam mattress without spending much, this fits.
Key Features & what's inside
- Stretch Knit Fabric Cover. A soft, pliable cover that lets the fillings beneath contour to your body shape. In practice this means you feel the comfort layers working rather than a taut, drum-like surface.
- White Fibre Fillings. A lightweight, high-loft filling that retains its shape and is hypo-allergenic. It adds a layer of cushioning between you and the foam core, and should resist flattening over time.
- Advanced Reflex Foam Core. A supportive, long-lasting hypo-allergenic foam that conforms to your body by distributing weight evenly, which means reduced pressure points at the usual sore spots. This is the main support layer, as the Hudson contains no springs.

Who's it NOT for?
At 18cm deep, it won't suit anyone who prefers a tall, plush mattress or deep contouring. There are no springs, so if you like a traditional bouncy, sprung feel, this isn't it. Lightweight side sleepers may also find the medium foam feel slightly firm for pressure relief at the shoulder.
Highgrove Hudson Mattress in a Box
Is the Highgrove Hudson mattress firm or soft?
It's rated medium, which suits most sleepers and sleeping positions. The reflex foam core provides even support while the fibre fillings add softness at the surface, although lightweight side sleepers may find it a touch firm.
Can you flip the Highgrove Hudson mattress?
Yes. It has a double-sided design, so you can both flip and rotate it. That's unusual for a foam mattress, and regular turning should help it wear more evenly and last longer.
Does the Highgrove Hudson have springs?
No, it's a non-sprung mattress. Support comes from an Advanced Reflex Foam core that distributes your weight evenly, which means reduced pressure points, but you won't get the bounce of a sprung mattress.
Does the Highgrove Hudson come with a trial or guarantee?
Archers Sleep Centre lists a 60-night comfort trial and a 1 year guarantee, but these are the retailer's own terms rather than Highgrove's, and the trial requires buying a Purecare mattress protector. Check the terms wherever you buy.
What sizes does the Highgrove Hudson come in?
Six UK sizes: Small Single, Single, Small Double, Double, King and Super King, priced from £198 to £293. All versions are 18cm deep.
