At 29cm deep, the Tuft & Springs Radiance 1000 Gel Hybrid has a reassuringly substantial feel, and the starting price is good value for a gel hybrid. It's made by an NBF-approved manufacturer, and it's hypoallergenic and vegan friendly. A medium feel suits most sleepers, although those who prefer a firmer, more supportive surface may want to look elsewhere. The 5-year guarantee is shorter than some brands offer, but the price partly makes up for it.

Why should you choose this mattress?
If you're a hot sleeper who still wants that gentle memory foam hug, this is where the Radiance 1000 makes its case. The gel-infused foam draws heat away from the sleep surface, so you get the contouring without waking up clammy. Underneath, 1000 individually responsive pocket springs move independently, which means less roll-together if you share a bed with a restless partner. The medium firmness works for most back and side sleepers. It's available from UK Single through to UK Super King, and delivery is free next day to mainland UK, though some addresses may incur a small fee. Yes, the 5-year guarantee is a little modest, but at a mid-range starting price it's a fair trade.
Key features & layer details
Sleep Surface
A soft knitted cover gives a breathable, inviting finish. It's the first thing you'll feel, and it helps air move through the top of the mattress.
Comfort Layer
Cooling Gel Fusion™ memory foam gently contours to your body, which means pressure relief at the shoulders and hips. The gel-infused design draws heat away from the sleep surface to help regulate your temperature through the night.
Support System
1000 individually responsive pocket springs move independently to support your body. That independence helps eliminate roll-together, so you're less likely to drift into the middle of the bed.

Best suited for?
Warm sleepers
Gel-infused memory foam draws heat away from the sleep surface, which means you get the contouring hug without waking up clammy.
Couples
The 1000 individually responsive pocket springs move independently, which means less roll-together if your partner is restless and you share the bed.
Side sleepers
Cooling Gel Fusion memory foam contours to your body, which means pressure relief at the shoulders and hips on a medium feel.
Allergy sufferers
The mattress is described as hypoallergenic, so it suits anyone who wants a bedding choice made with allergy concerns in mind.
Budget buyers
The starting price is described as good value for a gel hybrid, with 29cm of depth giving it a substantial feel.
If you like a firm, planted feel underneath you, this medium hybrid will likely feel slightly too giving, particularly for heavier back sleepers. And if a long guarantee matters to you, the 5-year cover here is shorter than some brands provide. Small Double isn't listed among the available sizes either.
Save on an earlier or ex-display model
Some retailers still sell the earlier version of this mattress, or ex-display and returned stock at a lower price. These are the sizes where it costs less than the current model's best price.

FAQ's
Is the Tuft & Springs Radiance 1000 good for hot sleepers?
It's designed with hot sleepers in mind. The Cooling Gel Fusion™ memory foam draws heat away from the sleep surface, and the knitted cover adds breathability, so it should run cooler than a traditional all-foam memory mattress.
How firm is the Radiance 1000 Gel Hybrid?
It's a medium, which suits most back and side sleepers. Lighter sleepers should sink in comfortably, although if you prefer a firmer, more supportive surface, a medium-firm option elsewhere may serve you better.
How deep is the Tuft & Springs Radiance 1000 mattress?
It's 29cm deep, which is a substantial depth for a hybrid at a mid-range starting price. Standard fitted sheets should still work, but check deeper-depth bedding if yours run snug.
What guarantee comes with the Radiance 1000?
Tuft & Springs offer a 5-year guarantee. That's shorter than some brands provide, but it's from an NBF-approved manufacturer, and the starting price softens the trade-off.
What sizes does the Radiance 1000 come in?
It's available in UK Single, UK Double, UK King and UK Super King. There's no Small Double listed, which is a shame for smaller rooms.
