Assessed from Sleep Story's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
Choose this one if you want a genuinely firm hybrid without a premium price tag. The pocket springs (1000 in the king size) move independently, which means less disturbance when a partner shifts about, and DynamicEdge® active side support firms up the perimeter so you can sleep right to the edge without feeling you might roll off. The Reflex foam layer offers temperature-controlled pressure relief, a useful touch if you tend to run warm. Yes, it's firm enough to feel unforgiving at first if you're used to softer beds, but the 20-year guarantee suggests real confidence in how it will hold up. It's also hypoallergenic, helpful for allergy-prone sleepers.
Key Features & what's inside
- Cover. A micro-quilted knitted Soft as Silk fabric, which gives a gently padded surface feel straight away. The quilting adds a touch of softness before you reach the firmer layers beneath.
- Cushioning foam. A layer of high-grade Reflex foam sits under the cover, offering temperature-controlled pressure relief. In practice, that means cushioning at your shoulders and hips without the heat build-up some foams create.
- Support. Pocket springs form the core, with 1000 springs in the king size, each moving independently to follow your shape and limit motion transfer. DynamicEdge® active side support reinforces the edges, so the full sleep surface stays usable.

Who's it NOT for?
This is a firm mattress, so lightweight side sleepers may find it presses a little too hard at the shoulders and hips. If you prefer a plush, sink-in feel, or you're after an all-foam bed with that slow, hugging response, look elsewhere. Anyone needing next-day delivery should note the 14-day window.
Sleep Story Luxury Firm Mattress
How firm is the Sleep Story Luxury Firm mattress?
It's rated firm, so expect a supportive surface with minimal sink. That tends to suit back and front sleepers, and heavier sleepers who need extra support, although lighter side sleepers may find it slightly too solid.

Yes, it's a hybrid. The core uses pocket springs, 1000 of them in the king size, topped with a layer of Reflex foam for pressure relief and finished with a micro-quilted knitted cover.
What guarantee does the Sleep Story Luxury Firm mattress come with?
It comes with a 20-year guarantee, which is longer than most brands offer and a reassuring sign of expected durability.

Six UK sizes: Small Single, Single, Small Double, Double, King and Super King. Prices range from £549 to £699 depending on the size you choose.
