Assessed from Sleep Story's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
If you like the cradling feel of memory foam but worry about sleeping too warm or sinking in, this design hedges sensibly. Two memory foam layers sit over pocket springs, which means you get pressure relief around hips and shoulders while the springs keep airflow moving and give the mattress a supportive base. The Tencel cover is designed to remove moisture, a genuine help for warm sleepers, and it won't irritate sensitive skin. Sleep Story describes the medium feel as ideal for most sleepers, and that seems fair for back and side sleeping in particular. Delivery is within 14 days, with a Premium Delivery Service available at £39, and the 20-year guarantee signals confidence in the build.
Key Features & what's inside
- Tencel cover. A high-loft, micro-quilted Tencel cover designed to remove moisture, which means a drier, more comfortable surface if you tend to sleep warm. It's also gentle enough not to irritate sensitive skin.
- Memory foam layer 1. The first of two high-performance premium memory foam layers. This is where the contouring happens, moulding to your shape and easing pressure at the hips and shoulders.
- Memory foam layer 2. A second premium memory foam layer that deepens the cushioning before you reach the springs. It helps the mattress feel plush rather than abrupt as you settle in.
- Pocket springs. 1000 pocket springs in the king size provide the supportive core. Because each spring moves independently, you get support where you need it and slightly less disturbance from a partner turning over.

Who's it NOT for?
If you prefer a firm or extra-firm surface, this medium feel will likely be too soft, particularly for heavier stomach sleepers who need to keep their hips level. And if you dislike the slow, hugging sensation of memory foam altogether, a traditional sprung or latex mattress will feel more responsive under you.
Sleep Story Memory Luxe Mattress
Is the Sleep Story Memory Luxe mattress soft or firm?
It has a medium feel, which Sleep Story describes as ideal for most sleepers. In practice that means noticeable cushioning from the two memory foam layers with support from the pocket springs beneath, a middle ground that suits back and side sleepers well. It's not the mattress for firm-feel devotees.
How deep is the Sleep Story Memory Luxe mattress?
It's 26cm deep. That's a substantial height that most standard fitted sheets will still accommodate, though it's worth checking deeper-pocket sheets if yours are on the shallow side.
What is the Sleep Story Memory Luxe made of?
It's a hybrid: a high-loft, micro-quilted Tencel cover, two layers of high-performance premium memory foam, and a base of pocket springs, 1000 of them in the king size. The mattress is certified hypoallergenic.
How much does the Sleep Story Memory Luxe cost?
Prices range from £599 to £749 depending on size, starting at £599. It comes in six UK sizes: Small Single, Single, Small Double, Double, King and Super King.
Does the Sleep Story Memory Luxe come with a guarantee?
Yes, it comes with a 20-year guarantee, which is a long span of cover compared with much of the market. Delivery is within 14 days, and a Premium Delivery Service is available for mattresses at £39.
