Best memory foam mattresses to buy right now for the perfect night's sleep
If you’re thinking about ditching the springs and upgrading to foam, you’ve come to the right place.
While traditional pocket sprung mattresses can keep you up at night by putting pressure on particular areas, memory foam mattresses contour to your natural body’s shape, giving you constant support throughout the night.
With so many mattresses out there on the market, choosing the right one for you can become a time-consuming task. The trick is to look beyond the aesthetics and focus on fundamental details like firmness, and airflow through the mattress.
To save you from hours of scrolling, we visited Dreams, Dunelm and Furniture Village to test out memory foam mattresses from the likes of Tempur and Emma Sleep. We’ve compiled a list of the best memory foam mattresses which you can buy online today, alongside added details such as trial period length and size options.

Kate Middleton swears by £19.99 rosehip oil that helps 'reduce wrinkles & scars'
After testing out several memory foam mattresses, my overall favourite was the Diamond Spring Free from Emma Sleep that I found at Furniture Village. It felt firm but supportive and the foam has clever graphite particles which help to dissipate excess body heat for a deeper and longer sleep - perfect if you tend to get too warm at night.
Currently discounted by £600, it is a mid-price point when it comes to memory foam mattresses and when looking at other users reviews one person said: " I've had the best sleeps since getting it and as someone who trains a lot (swim, cycling, running) this has been hugely impactful".
For a cheaper mattress option with medium to medium-firm comfort, the much-loved Emma Original mattress features three layers of high-quality foam and provides the perfect amount of support while you sleep.
The breathable layer of innovative Airgocell foam lets air flow through the mattress smoothly, which helps to keep you cool throughout the night, plus the Halo memory foam adapts to your body for optimum spinal support.

3. Dunelm Fogarty Just Right Memory Foam Mattress
Best budget memory foam mattress

Boots annual 70% off sale is returning with some deals already available
While I found that shopping at Dunelm for a mattress does have its disadvantages as they don't offer trial periods and they don't have beds set out for you to properly test them, they do offer cut-out samples for you to sit on and feel. The price is hard to beat at just over £150 for a double memory foam mattress and this option felt super-soft as it has an eco-flex filling that adds an extra cushioning layer.
Alternatively, if you’re on a tight budget, we’d definitely recommend this Eve Lighter mattress which is currently £174 reduced from £249. The smart mattress is the stripped down version of the Eve Original, but still provides an impressive level of support and comfort, despite its low price tag.
It features a 3cm layer of proprietary ‘Evecomfort foam’ and beneath lies a 16cm core layer of high-density base foam. There's also a soft-touch cover that can be removed and washed.

Tempur mattresses are truly top of the range when it comes to memory foam so for those who don't mind forking out for a good night's sleep, this long-lasting mattress offers a great balance of comfort and support with medium firmness.
I tested this mattress out at Dreams and the experience I had there was the best out of all the stores I visited. Not only was I warmly welcomed, they had Tempur mattresses in soft, medium, firm and very firm so you can find the one that works for you. During testing, you are also given a pillow dependent on your sleeping style and if you aren't sure on the style of mattress you want, they even have super savvy 'sleep match' technology which scans your body before recommending specific mattresses suited to you.
The luxury mattress is available in a range of sizes, and comes with a removable and washable zip cover and for convenience it doesn't need to be turned.

Despite coming in at around half the price of many other options available to buy at Memory Foam Warehouse, this Coolmax mattress has one of the thickest memory foam layers of them all, coming in at 7cm.
As the name suggests, another pro to this mattress is its temperature regulation. The quilted fabric cover provides a cooling effect when the body gets too hot, which helps keep the mattress comfortable all year-round.

Hyde & Sleep Emerald Hybrid Mattress, £999 - Dreams- Comfort: Split Firm and Very Firm
- Trial period: 100 nights
- Guarantee: 5 years

Another impressive pick from Dreams is their exclusive range of Hyde & Sleep mattresses. Designed to keep you cool and comfortable, the feature that really stood out to me was that you can choose a dual comfort combination so two sleepers can both enjoy their preferred comfort level.
On top of this, it had a really luxurious feel to it and it has a layer of micro-springs which help to evenly distribute body weight to relief pressure on certain points of the body.
