Why should you choose this mattress?
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 & layer details
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.

Best suited for?
Back sleepers
The firm feel and pocket spring core give a supportive, no-sink surface, which means your body stays level instead of dipping into the mattress.
Front sleepers
A firm surface with a no-sink feel helps keep your hips from dropping down, which suits anyone who sleeps face down.
Heavier sleepers
The firm pocket spring core and reinforced DynamicEdge® sides give a supportive, stable feel, so a heavier build is less likely to sink in.
Couples
Each pocket spring moves independently, which means less disturbance when a partner shifts about, and the firmed-up edges let you both use the full width.
Warm sleepers
The Reflex foam layer offers temperature-controlled pressure relief, which means cushioning at the shoulders and hips without the heat build-up some foams create.
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.
Save on an earlier or ex-display model
