If you sleep on your side, or you find firmer mattresses press uncomfortably on your shoulders and hips, this soft to medium feel is a sensible fit. The latex layer is graphite infused and naturally responsive, which means it cushions pressure points while springing back quickly when you move, so you shouldn't feel stuck. Beneath it, individually encapsulated pocket springs react to your body shape independently, useful if you share a bed and want less motion transfer. Foam encapsulated edge support means you can sleep close to the edge without that rolling-off feeling. It's also a National Bed Federation Approved Brand and vegan friendly, a genuinely rare combination for a latex hybrid at this price.
Key Features & what's inside
- Smart Latex. A 50mm layer of reactive natural latex foam that provides soothing support. Latex responds quickly to movement, which means gentle pressure relief without the sinking feeling of slower foams.
- Pocket Springs. 1,600 pocket springs (counted on the kingsize) work alongside the latex, each one individually encapsulated. This lets every spring react to your body shape on its own, which you'll feel as more tailored support and less disturbance from a partner's movement.

Who's it NOT for?
This is a soft to medium mattress, so if you're a heavier sleeper or you prefer a firm, supportive surface, especially for back or stomach sleeping, it will likely feel too yielding. It's also single-sided, so you can't flip it to extend its life, and anyone wanting a longer guarantee may want to look elsewhere.
Kaymed Smart Latex 1600 Pocket Mattress
View all mattresses
Is the Kaymed Smart Latex 1600 mattress soft or firm?
Kaymed rates it as soft to medium. That makes it a good match for side sleepers and lighter bodies who need pressure relief around the shoulders and hips, although back or stomach sleepers who like a firmer surface may find it a little too giving.
Does the Kaymed Smart Latex 1600 come with a sleep trial?
MattressOnline lists a 100-night trial with this mattress. That's the retailer's own offer rather than a manufacturer promise, so if you buy elsewhere, check the trial terms with that retailer before ordering.
How many springs does the Kaymed Smart Latex 1600 have?
It has 1,600 pocket springs, though that figure is based on the kingsize; smaller sizes will contain fewer. Each spring is individually encapsulated so it reacts to your body shape on its own, which helps with tailored support and reduces motion transfer between partners.
Is the Kaymed Smart Latex 1600 vegan friendly?
Yes, the listing describes it as vegan friendly. It uses natural latex with graphite infusion and pocket springs rather than animal-derived fillings, which is unusual among latex hybrid mattresses.
Do you need to flip the Kaymed Smart Latex 1600?
No, it's a single-sided mattress, so no flipping is required. Rotating it from head to toe now and then is still a sensible habit to even out wear, since you can't turn it over to spread the load.
