Memory Foam Mattresses

Discover the Comfort of Memory Foam Mattresses

Memory foam mattresses have been the most popular go-to choice for anyone seeking personalised pressure relief for decades. Known for their body moulding comfort and ability to absorb movement, they’re especially popular among light sleepers, couples, and anyone suffering from aches or joint pain.

Whether you are not a fan of sprung mattresses or looking for a combination of spring and memory foam, our collection includes everything from entry-level models to premium memory foam mattresses for ultimate comfort.

Explore a variety of options including firm memory foam mattresses, orthopaedic memory foam, or Hybrid Mattresses combining foam with pocket springs for added support and breathability.

How Long Does a Memory Foam Mattress Last?

A memory foam mattress typically lasts between 7 to 10 years, depending on usage, materials, and maintenance. However, a high quality version could last you 10 to 15 years. Models with denser foam and layered construction tend to hold their shape and support for longer.

For maximum longevity on a slatted bed frame, choose a mattress which also contains springs. All of our sprung models can be found here on our Best Mattresses For Slatted Beds range.

Due to it's high density and ability to withstand wear and tear, Reflex Foam is a longer lasting material compared to memory foam. We have a selection Reflex Foam Mattresses, some of which combine reflex and memory foam, using reflex as a durable long-lasting foundation and memory foam as the body moulding, extra comfy top layer.

How Do You Clean a Memory Foam Mattress?

Keeping your memory foam mattress fresh is easier than you might think. Start by vacuuming the surface regularly to remove dust and allergens. For spills or stains, lightly spot-clean with a mild detergent and warm water, be careful not to saturate the foam! Always let it air dry completely before re-making your bed. A removable, washable cover or waterproof mattress protector can help extend its lifespan and keep things hygienic.

What Is the Best Memory Foam Mattress?

The “best” memory foam mattress depends on your body type, sleeping style, and comfort preferences. Side sleepers and lighter individuals often prefer softer models for pressure relief at the hips and shoulders, while heavier individuals, back and front sleepers may opt for firmer support.

Which Memory Foam Mattress Sleeps the Coolest?

Traditional memory foam can retain heat, but newer technologies are designed to combat this. Look for mattresses with cooling functions such as gel-infused foam, cooling covers, or hybrid designs that include springs to boost airflow. These cooling options are ideal for hot sleepers or warmer climates.

If you run hot at night, you may benefit from a Memory Gel Mattress or Cool Memory Foam Mattress for better airflow.

Different Types of Memory Foam

Not all memory foam is created equal. Today’s market offers a wide range of advanced memory foam technologies—each with its own unique feel, performance, and benefits. These foams differ in density, response time, cooling ability, pressure relief, and even how they contour to your body. Choosing the right type can significantly improve your sleep quality.

Brands like Kayflex have developed innovative foams like i-Zone Memory Foam, designed to sink less than traditional memory foam and offer zonal support across different areas of your body, improving spinal alignment and relieving pressure where you need it most. Giltedge Beds feature their own Floatex Foam, which has an incredible lightweight feel and mimics the responsiveness of traditional memory foam but with enhanced airflow to reduce heat build-up, perfect for those who sleep warm.

Then there’s Healthopaedic’s Zero Gravity foam, engineered to give that unique weightless, floating sensation, ideal for relieving joint and back stress. If you’re after something luxurious and well-engineered. Nectar’s Nectasmart™ memory foam is another premium option, feels soft but supports you brilliantly, it contours precisely, regulates temperature effectively, and adapts to your movements throughout the night, making it a very advanced formula.

These are just a few examples, memory foam today comes in many different formulas, blends, and constructions. Some are infused with cooling gels, others are layered with reflex or high-resilience foam underneath to balance out the sink-in feel. Whether you’re after soft cushioning or firm, orthopaedic support, there’s a memory foam mattress to match your needs.

Alternatives to Memory Foam

Memory foam isn’t the right choice for everyone, and that’s okay. If you prefer a mattress with more buoyancy, cooler airflow, or a firmer, more responsive feel, there are excellent alternatives available. Latex mattresses are a great option, naturally breathable, hypoallergenic, and very durable. Gel mattresses are often the go between, offering the feeling and coolness of Latex without costing quite so much.

For those who like traditional support, pocket sprung mattresses offer great airflow and responsiveness. You can also explore Reflex foam mattresses, which offer a firmer, more budget-friendly alternative to memory foam while still delivering good support and comfort.
