Why our sleep experts loved it

The Bodyshape Ortho Memory Foam Mattress is a mattress like no other. It's the perfect combination of reflex foam support and memory foam comfort layers, offering a luxurious sleep experience with back support to help relieve back pain. The mattress is rolled up, easy to unpack and ships right to your doorstep.

The reflex foam in the support layer provides a great deal of bounce, and the memory foam in the comfort layer is quite supportive. It's firm enough to hold its shape, but still soft enough to hug your body. The orthopaedic support layer provides immediate relief for pressure points and helps you sleep better.

The Bodyshape Ortho Memory Foam Mattress is the latest bed in a box rolled up in a convenient bag. It's ready to use straight away and can be used on any standard platform bed frame. Just open the bag and let it breathe for 12 hours before use. What's more, this mattress comes with an impressive 3 year guarantee.

Quantitative Measurements KPI question mark

Here's how the product performs based on the materials and composition when compared to other products of similar price point. These measurements are produced using a combination of specification-heavy algorithmic data points and our own hands on experience.

Suitability

*Assuming average weight, suitability will vary dependant on body type, use the quiz above for a more tailored guide.
  • Back Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • The amount of support offered from a mattress will vary depending on the firmness of the tension and the type of support layer used. Based on a person of average build.
  • Side Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • If you sleep on your side you typically need a supportive tension that is not too firm, nor too soft. This is because your hips and shoulders need adequate sinkage.
  • Stomach Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Stomach sleepers need a reasonable amount of tension in the base support layer to adequately offer body contouring and help prevent aches and pains. Results will vary based on your build.

Performance

  • Breathability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials like memory foam can make it difficult to move about on the mattress while you toss and turn. Same too for pillow tops which can create a cloud like sensation which can make manoeuvrability challenging.
  • Stability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Depending on the type of support layer in place can have an impact on stability, edge to edge support and roll together prevention. Pocket springs of a firmer tension will have better stability than open coil soft tension, for example.

Odour

  • Initial Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Materials in mattresses, particularly memory foam and rolled bed-in-a-box mattresses can have an initial odour, this is typically short term and reduces considerably within 24 hours.
  • Long Standing Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials inside different mattresses can produce a small odour. Typically this is short term rather than long standing but there are minor exceptions.

Brand Rating

  • Overall Brand Rating
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • This is based on community driven customer reviews tied to product reviews and grouped together at a brand level to produce a score.

If youre like me and love a firm mattress, I can heartily recommend the BodyShape Ortho as a superb choice. I first bought one of these mattresses six years ago for my superking size bed - I have recently also obtained a king size bed and bought same mattress again in that size. After six years, the first mattress is still going strong, it is still just as comfy, and showing no signs of degrading. I love the support it gives my back, and its comfy lying on my side too. Really really happy with this mattress, its brilliant. Great value for money too.

I had this mattress for almost a month, and really love the firmness of this mattress. It's firm which is exactly what I am looking for but the top layer of memory form adds a feeling of comfy and softness.Even my partner who normally prefers a softer mattress approves it.

Used as a guest bed/snoring husband escaper. Great comfort support. Feels well made and good quality. We previously had the Breasley Uno Delux which I loved as a medium/firm mattress, but my mother found to be too hard for her liking. This one she really likes as do I.

Had a good night's sleep the first night I tried it. Been happy ever since. Suffer with arthritic neck and back pain, and sleep-related pain I used to suffer with an ordinary mattress has been alleviated tenfold with a proper ortho mattress. Would recommend.

Excellent value for money, was expecting to have to spend a lot more on a new mattress, so delighted. Really comfortable and surprisingly light so easy to turn by yourself making care a lot easier. Compared with my old mattress it feels like floating on air.

The matress was said to be the same as the last one but in fact a little thinner, would be great to see it a bit thicker as this looks more like a high end matress and has more solidity and weight. The matress is however very comfy, good value for money

Really good memory foam mattress and great price. Purchased for 4year as first mattress for their first big bed. No issues and it would be firm enough for any adult to sleep on. No smell and being rolled for delivery made it easy to get upstairs.
