7 best mattresses of 2020 in UK: Top memory foam and hybrid reviews

Are you struggling with getting a good night’s sleep in these uncertain times? You're not alone. But while there are some factors around sleeping you can't control, there are plenty of steps you can take – one of the most important is that you need to have the best possible mattress for you. A good mattress is crucial not only for getting a night of uninterrupted sleep, but achieving good back health. So if you're waking up feeling unrested and sore in the morning, it could be time to ditch your old mattress and get shopping for one that provides the right support for your body.

Which type of mattress is best for sleeping?

Even if your mattress was perfect when you bought it, don’t forget that over a span of eight to ten years it will decline in its support, so you should definitely consider replacing it after this time. This bedroom essential is a big investment, but your health is at stake so don't cut corners – plus if you think about it logically, a £600 mattress works out at £1.64 per night over the span of ten years – you can't argue with that price! There are so many different options – including memory foam, spring systems, hybrids, quilted gel and pressure relief foam, to name a few. We've rounded up the best options for you to choose from, so read on – a good's night sleep is just a click away!
