Assessed from the specification published by Mattress Online, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
At £159 to £245 this is a genuinely affordable way to get a touch of memory foam without paying memory foam prices. The 1.5cm foam layer sits over interlaced open coil springs, which means a slightly cushioned surface with a springy, supportive core underneath, closer to a traditional mattress feel than a slow-sinking foam one. The bamboo knitted cover is a pleasant extra at this price. It is double-sided with handles, so flipping it regularly should help it last. Yes, the 1-year guarantee is short, but the low price reflects that. If you're after simple, budget-friendly comfort and prefer a bed with some bounce, this is a sensible shortlist candidate.
Key Features & what's inside
- Memory Foam. A 1.5cm layer of memory foam sits at the surface, which means gentle cradling around your shoulders and hips rather than a deep hug. It takes the edge off the springs below without the sunken feeling thicker foam layers can create.
- Traditional Open Coil Springs. Interlaced springs joined in a lattice design provide the support core. This gives the mattress a connected, slightly bouncy feel, though it also means movement can transfer across the bed more than with pocket springs.

Who's it NOT for?
If you share a bed with a restless partner, the interlaced open coil design transfers movement more than pocket springs, so you may feel them turn over. It's also not ideal if you want a plush, sink-in feel: despite the soft to medium billing, some owners find it firmer than expected. The 1-year guarantee is short if long-term cover matters to you.
Romantica Bamboo Memory Mattress
Across 429 reviews on the mattressonline.co.uk product page, rated 4.5 overall, owners report comfortable sleep and good value for money. Firmness perception varies, with some finding it supportive and others noting it feels harder than expected, and a few suggest adding a topper for extra comfort.
How firm is the Romantica Bamboo Memory Mattress?
Romantica lists it as soft to medium. That said, some customer reviews note it feels harder than that description suggests, so if you're a lightweight sleeper hoping for a plush surface, be prepared for a slightly firmer feel, or consider adding a topper.
Can you flip the Romantica Bamboo Memory Mattress?
Yes. The listing states it is double-sided and includes turning handles, so you can flip it regularly to even out wear, which takes a little effort but should help the mattress last longer.
Does the Romantica Bamboo Memory Mattress come with a trial?
Mattress Online lists a 100-night trial on this mattress. That trial is the retailer's own offer rather than a Romantica guarantee, so if you buy elsewhere, check that seller's returns terms before ordering.
How is the Romantica Bamboo Memory Mattress delivered?
Through Mattress Online, delivery is free to most locations, with next day delivery available on weekdays and weekend slots too. Delivery to your room of choice costs £20.00, and old mattress removal is available for £35.00. These are the retailer's terms, not the brand's.
How long is the guarantee on the Romantica Bamboo Memory Mattress?
The mattressonline.co.uk listing states a 1-year guarantee. That's shorter than most brands offer, so it suits buyers prioritising a low upfront price over long-term cover.
