Tempur cloud supreme, double: Was £1,749, now £1,399, Tempur.com
We’re big fans of Tempur mattresses, with one of our testers having written an in-depth rave review of one of the brand’s models. “Tempur mattresses are quite the investment but the materials and technology they bring is second to none,” our reviewer shared. The cloud supreme promises to instantly cushion you, for an enveloping feeling, thanks to the three-layered design, and a saving of £350 is sure to make it all the more sweeter.
Emma premium mattress, double: Was £1,099, now £404, Mynextmattress.co.uk
When they reviewed this model, our tester referred to it as a “true Goldilocks choice – not too firm, not too soft”. Our reviewer also said: “We loved how much we felt like we were sleeping in a bubble of bliss on this mattress.” Not only does it come highly recommended, right now, it comes with a price reduction of almost £700.
Dormeo octasmart plus memory mattress, double: Was £700, now £560, Argos.co.uk
Securing a spot in our round-up of the best mattresses, Dormeo’s design was dubbed the best budget mattress. Now, it’s even cheaper, thanks to this Argos deal. “You get a lot of bang for your buck with the octasmart mattress, with the firm and supportive design not compromising on any comfort”, our tester said. Praising the cooling technology and six-layer design, they said: “The top three layers of foam create a supportive base for your body, allowing the mattress to mould to your shape for optimum comfort.” They also loved the hybrid design, which helped relieve their pressure points in just two weeks.
Eve Sleep wunderflip ultimate hybrid mattress, double: Was £1,199, now £599, Evesleep.co.uk
If it’s a hybrid mattress you’re looking for, this Eve option has seen an impressive saving of £600. A similar hybrid model from Eve was praised by our reviewer, so, you’re in safe hands with the brand. “The memory foam layer hugs the body and Eve Sleep’s trademarked floatfoam is cloud-like layer that acts as the cherry on top,” our writer said. Coming in at less than £600, this is a similarly great, high-tech choice.
DreamCloud luxury hybrid mattress, king: Was £1,749, now £752.07, Dreamcloudsleep.co.uk
This luxury mattress has been reduced by almost £1,000. It boasts five layers – a quilted top, memory foam, support foam, reinforced edges and a support foam base – and is said to be perfect for medium-firm sleepers. Plus, you’ll be able to trial it out for 365 nights, to see if it’s right for you.
Nectar premier hybrid mattress, king: Was £1,000, now £800, Nectarsleep.co.uk
With a saving of 20 per cent, now’s the time to snap up this premier mattress from Nectar. Eight layers deep, the model combines excellent support with precision engineering that allows the mattress to adjust to all body shapes. While we haven’t reviewed this exact design, a similar memory foam mattress from the brand is an IndyBest favourite, having been rated four out of five stars by our tester. In their in-depth review, our tester said: “Regardless of what type of sleeper you are, you should find the Nectar memory foam mattress both comfy and supportive.”
Hypnos wool origins 6 mattress, king: Was £2,079, now £1,449, Mynextmattress.co.uk
This Hypnos wool design now comes with a saving of close to £600. “The edge-to-edge support is second to none, and the medium tension provides fantastic support,” our reviewer said when they put this mattress to the test. It comes with a pocket-sprung system and eight layers of traceable British wool that regulate body temperature – it’s enough to make you look forward to bed time.
Casper hybrid mattress, single: Was £625, now £500, Mattressonline.co.uk
In our previous guide to the best mattresses, our writer described this one as “combining the brand’s legendary foams with a base layer of springs, you get instant sumptuousness, from the moulding of the four foam layers around your body, coupled with added bounce and airflow, thanks to the pocket coil springs.”
Our writer was impressed before she’d even got this mattress out of its vacuum pack: “How can those springs be so compressible? Nearly five years of research, is the answer from Casper, but that was nothing compared with our excitement over the immediate comfort.” With £125 off and such a rave review, this really is a no-brainer.
Dusk the original hybrid, double: Was £449, now £419, Dusk.com
If you’re on the lookout for a whole new sleep setup, the Dusk sale could be a great place to start. With 2,000 heat tempered pocket springs and a layer of memory foam, this mattress is sure to help you sleep soundly. The cover is also removable, making it easy to wash, too.
Simba mattress bundle, king: Was £1,466, now £1,099.50, Simbasleep.com
For just over a £1,000, you can rest assured you’ll get a good night’s sleep with this Simba bundle. The deal includes the brand’s fan-favourite king-size hybrid mattress, plus a hybrid duvet and two hybrid pillows thrown in for good measure. Designed with medium firmness, the hybrid design “gives an instant and cloud-like balance of comfort and support right up to the edges”, according to our tester. Meanwhile, the hybrid pillow was similarly praised by our sleep testers. “It’s a brilliant pillow for active people who are prone to the odd neck or shoulder strain, or anyone with a pre-existing injury, because it absolutely won’t exacerbate any damage,” they said.
Otty the Otty hybrid mattress, small double: Was £679.99, now £579.99, Otty.com
Having featured in a previous IndyBest review of the best mattresses for back pain, this was praised by our tester for being a “great all-rounder” that has “multiple layers of support”. It also “minimises motion transfer, which is music to the ears of bed-sharers of different weights and sizes”. Should you be suffering from aches and pains, snap up this option while it’s £100 cheaper.
Happy Beds signature crystal 3000 pocket sprung orthopaedic natural fillings mattress, double: Was £489.99, now £344.99, Happybeds.co.uk
This Happy Beds mattress is another one that featured in our guide to the best mattresses for back pain. Our writer noted it is “a dream to sleep on – and it’s certainly one for those suffering with niggling aches and pains”. They said they also loved the “personal touch – enter your weight (and your partner’s) on the site, and Happy Beds will recommend a firmness rating for you”.
