At 33cm deep, the Kaymed Heavy Sleeper 1200 has real presence on the bed frame, and the knitted cover adds a slightly softer touch on the surface. It comes in four UK sizes, from Single to Super King. Kaymed is a National Bed Federation Approved Brand, and the mattress conforms to the BS7177: 2008 fire safety standard for home use. If you want a genuinely firm mattress with sturdy pocket-sprung support, this is a sensible shortlist candidate.

Why should you choose this mattress?
This mattress is aimed at sleepers who need firmness that lasts. The 1,200 individual pocket springs respond to each part of your body separately, which means your hips and shoulders get support where they need it rather than one uniform push-back. Above the springs, high density reflex foam adds a firm, durable comfort layer that helps keep your spine aligned. The 33cm depth gives it a substantial, hotel-style profile. Buying through MattressOnline, you get a 100-night trial and free delivery to most UK mainland locations, with next day weekday delivery available. The firm feel won't suit everyone, but if you're a heavier sleeper or simply prefer a solid surface, it's a strong fit.
Key features & layer details
Knitted cover
A soft knitted finish that adds a touch of cosiness and warmth on the surface. It's designed to help with airflow and breathability too, which matters on a firmer mattress where you sleep more on top than in it.
Reflex Foam
A layer of high density reflex foam that supports spinal alignment, which means your back stays in a healthier position through the night. It's firm and durable rather than plush, so expect a solid feel from the first night.
Pocket Springs
1,200 individual springs, each encased in its own cloth pocket, adapt to your movement independently. That gives personalised support to different parts of your body and helps limit motion transfer from a partner.

Best suited for?
Heavier sleepers
The 1,200 individual pocket springs and firm reflex foam layer give solid, durable support, which means the mattress should hold its feel under more bodyweight.
Back sleepers
A firm high density reflex foam layer sits above the springs, which means you lie on a solid surface that keeps your spine well aligned.
Couples
Each spring sits in its own cloth pocket and moves independently, which helps limit motion transfer so one person's movement is less likely to disturb the other.
Front sleepers
Firm support from the reflex foam and pocket springs helps stop your hips sinking too far, which keeps your body level when lying on your front.
Warm sleepers
The knitted cover is designed to help airflow and breathability, which matters on a firm mattress where you sleep more on top than in it.
This is a firm mattress, so lightweight side sleepers will likely find it too unyielding around the shoulders and hips. If you prefer a plush, cushioned surface or a memory foam hug, look elsewhere. There's no soft or medium option.
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 Kaymed Heavy Sleeper 1200?
It's rated firm, and the construction backs that up: high density reflex foam over 1,200 pocket springs. Expect a solid, supportive surface with limited sink. That suits back and front sleepers and heavier builds, although lighter side sleepers may find it a little too hard.
Does the Kaymed Heavy Sleeper 1200 come with a trial?
MattressOnline lists a 100-night trial with this mattress. That trial is the retailer's own offer rather than a Kaymed guarantee, so if you buy elsewhere, check the terms with that seller before ordering.
What guarantee does the Kaymed Heavy Sleeper 1200 have?
The MattressOnline listing states a 10 year guarantee. As this appears on a retailer listing rather than Kaymed's own site, it's sensible to confirm the guarantee terms with the retailer at the point of purchase.
How deep is the Kaymed Heavy Sleeper 1200 mattress?
It's 33cm deep, which is a substantial profile. Check that your fitted sheets are deep enough, as standard sheets can struggle with mattresses of this depth.
What sizes is the Kaymed Heavy Sleeper 1200 available in?
Four UK sizes: Single, Double, King and Super King.
