The best luxury mattresses for the most indulgent, five-star sleep at home

Score: 94/100

Our top-scorer is double sided (so you can flip it to make it last longer) and has multiple layers of pocket springs, moisture wicking, plant-based fibres, and hypoallergenic (and naturally fire resistant) British wool. It’s all encased in a layer of soft viscose, all of which combines to create a mattress that was quiet and breathable for everyone.

Our panel unanimously declared it very comfortable to sleep on and praised the “perfect” level of support for all sleep styles. One person went so far as describing the mattress as “life changing,” delivering a “brilliant night’s sleep”.

As a brand, Hypnos also fared well in our reader survey, with most readers telling us that their mattress kept its high quality over time, was good for back issues, and remained still if their partners fidgeted. In fact, nearly everyone was happy with its comfort over time – a resounding vote of confidence.

According to our 2025 sleep survey, GH readers are big fans of Harrison Spinks mattresses, and it’s hardly surprising. This pocket sprung design – which is handcrafted in the UK – is made from fully traceable wool British wool with layers of cotton, hemp and flax to regulate your temperature and prevent overheating. It contains 5,750 pocket springs packed into sealed units to contour to your body for extra comfort and support. It’s also hypoallergenic and free from foam and FR chemical treatments.

Testers rated the firm feel, saying it offered plenty of support and pressure relief for all sleeping positions. It also ticked the box in terms of temperature regulation, and panellists said they were less disturbed by their partner’s tossing and turning. “I am a poor sleeper; however, I have been going into a very nice deep sleep with this mattress,” one panel member told us.

It doesn’t require flipping (hurrah!) but rotating the mattress is a two-person job as it’s on the heavier side.

All The White Company’s mattresses are made by Hypnos, so you’re guaranteed the same quality as our popular winner. This is made to order and is filled with a mixture of pocket springs and traceable British wool. There are also layers of latex, cotton, flax, and hemp, and it’s the brand’s “most premium mattress”.

And our panel wasn't disappointed. One tester said it “creates exceptional comfort and support,” and it’s temperature regulating too. Again, another declared it “one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on”, and it suited an array of sleeping positions thanks to its medium firmness level. It even converted a tester who wasn’t sure if pocket springs were for them.

It did smell for a little bit, and it’s heavy to move. You can’t vacuum it either. But these aren’t dealbreakers – our panellists barely docked a point for it overall, such was the quality of sleep they enjoyed

Score: 92/100

With its luxurious look and feel, it’s no surprise that our testers scored this hybrid mattress highly. All Sealy’s mattresses are designed with the help of orthopaedic surgeons, and the combination of foam and spring supported our testers during the night. It even helped ease back pain for some.

The foam provided a welcome softness and cushioned our testers without them sinking into it, meaning it suited sleepers of all styles. Not to mention, our panellists told us it was breathable, and stable when their partners moved.

It’s the deepest mattress on our list, so you may need to invest in new sheets. But given one tester told us it made them “look forward to going to bed a bit earlier”, we’d say that’s a compromise worth making.

We've also tested Sealy's Elevate UltraLux Mattress, which scored 92/100 in our tests.

Score: 89/100

Most mattresses in our round-up fall into the medium firm category, but if you want to go softer or firmer, then this Tempur option is worth considering. The memory foam mattress is available in four levels to suit all needs.

Though memory foam traditionally has a bad reputation for temperature regulation, this design boasts SmartCool technology to absorb moisture and prevent you from overheating. Testers said they liked the cool-touch cover, which successfully kept them comfortable and sweat-free while they slept, and the appreciated the washable cover.

Tempur also says its Advanced Material provides its ‘best ever pressure relief’, promising to adapt as you move. We certainly received positive feedback from our panel – although the foam took a few nights to get used to, it felt comfortable and kept sleepers supported in all positions. It scored highly for its whisper-quiet design and the lack of motion transfer, too.

Some thought it looked like a hospital bed and the new mattress smell did linger for a few weeks, but these are minor quibbles.

Score: 89/100

Created in collaboration with the Eden Project, this pocket sprung mattress uses responsibly sourced fibres, including breathable cotton, fruit fibres, bamboo and Tencel, along with seaweed exacts, which can help eliminate odour. It's fully recyclable, so it won’t end up in landfill, and it’s free from chemicals and foams.

The mattress – which is available in two firmness levels – was a huge hit with our testing panel. “It honestly feels like sleeping at a luxury hotel every night!” said one satisfied tester, while another told us: “It feels like sleeping on a cloud.”

Everyone was impressed with the high-quality craftsmanship, and the mattress offered a good level of comfort and support for back and side sleepers. It was also very quiet overnight, helping them snooze soundly.

Like many of the mattresses in this round-up, it is fairly heavy to move. One panellist said it could have been a bit more breathable, and some noted that they could occasionally feel the tufted parts of the mattress. Still, it’s a worthy choice for the eco-conscious buyer.

Score: 88/100

This luxurious mattress in a box from B-corp brand Simba comes highly recommended by our panel. It kept them cool, comfortable and well supported, thanks to 6,000 springs and a breathable layer of bamboo and wool.

Testers found the foam cushioned their bodies nicely and liked the added height this mattress brings (thanks to its 11! different layers). It's a good one to opt for if you want to get in and out of bed easily.

At 31cm, this is one of the deepest mattresses on our list, which has its pros but also means you’ll probably need to invest in new fitted sheets. It’s also worth double checking it will work with your current bed frame. Some testers did notice some dips over time, although not all were permanent.

Score: 86/100

The Apex mattress is the jewel in Simba's natural fibre Earth range. The deep, weighty design – which features 6,700 pocket springs and layers of luxurious Cashgora, silk and British wool – is designed to provide plush, tailored support while keeping you cool and comfortable.

Testers found the medium firm mattress was extremely supportive and a pleasure to sleep on, with some commenting that it helped ease aches and pains. It sprang back into shape each morning, with no dipping or sagging reported, and it scored well for temperature regulation and breathability, too. One tester even said it helped with their insomnia.

Just note, it does require deep-fitted sheets, and you’ll probably need a second person to help with regular rotation.
