Best Mattress UK Buyers Choose | AQ Beds Range

Finding the best mattress UK shoppers can actually rely on isn’t about chasing gimmicks it’s about getting the right support, the right feel, and the right size for your home. At AQ Beds, we keep it simple: our mattress range covers the most popular comfort styles (pocket sprung, memory foam and orthopaedic options), with UK sizing from Small Single (2ft6) through to Super King (6ft).

You’ll also spot a mattress sale across the collection with savings shown on product cards and a clear focus on comfort without silly mark-ups. If you want a mattress that feels good on night one and still feels right months later, you’re in the right place.

Choosing the best mattress UK customers should look for

A mattress can look great on a product page, but the real test is how it supports you at 2am and at 7am when you first sit up. Here’s what matters most when you’re narrowing down the options.

1) Support that matches how you sleep

• Side sleepers often like extra cushioning around hips and shoulders (many go for memory foam or pillow-top styles).
  
• Back sleepers usually do best with balanced support that keeps the spine in a straight line (pocket sprung and medium-feel mattresses work well for lots of people).
  
• Front sleepers often prefer a firmer feel to stop the hips dipping.
  

On our collection page, we also call out how pocket springs work individually to follow your body and help reduce motion transfer handy if you share a bed with someone who turns over a lot.

2) Comfort layers that feel cosy, not squishy

There’s a difference between “soft” and “supportive”. A good mattress should let you settle in, but it shouldn’t swallow you up. That’s why several of our mattresses combine comfort materials with a support-focused layer — for example, the Memory Spring Mattress includes a layer of orthopaedic material for back support, paired with a softer comfort layer.

3) Practical considerations (allergies, heat, and day-to-day use)

If you wake up stuffy, you’re not imagining it — bedrooms can hold allergens. Our collection page notes that many mattresses use hypoallergenic covers designed to help repel dust mites.
And if you run warm at night, “cool gel” style options exist in the range too, such as the Cool Gel Memory 2000 Mattress.

Mattress types in our collection

The AQ Beds mattress line-up is designed to cover the comfort styles people in the UK buy most often — without forcing you into one “perfect” option.

Pocket sprung mattresses: steady support and less movement

Pocket springs respond individually, so you don’t feel every shift from the other side of the bed. Our collection page explains that each spring works on its own and helps reduce motion transfer.

In this range you’ll see options like:

• Pocket 1000 Mattress
  
• Encapsulation 1000 Mattress
  

If you like a mattress that feels supported and “neat” rather than overly sinky, pocket sprung is a strong starting point.

Memory foam and hybrid-style options: body-hugging comfort

Memory foam mattresses are known for contouring to your body shape and easing pressure points. Our collection page describes memory foam as conforming to the body and helping spinal alignment.

In the collection you’ll find options such as:

• Memory Spring Mattress
  
• Memory Pocket 1000 Mattress
  
• Memory Pocket 2000 Mattress
  
• Cool Gel Memory 2000 Mattress
  

If you want that cushioned, “settle in” feel — especially for side sleeping — memory foam or memory-pocket styles often suit.

Pillow top mattresses: that extra layer of comfort on top

A pillow top adds an extra comfort layer at the surface, giving a plusher first feel when you lie down. In our range you’ll see:

• Pillow Top 3000 Mattress
  
• Pillow Top 5000 Mattress
  
• Memory Pillow Top
  
• Orthopaedic Pillow Top
  

If you like comfort you can feel straight away (without losing support underneath), pillow tops are worth a look.

Orthopaedic mattresses: firmer, more supportive feel

If you prefer a steadier, supportive base — or you simply don’t get on with softer mattresses — orthopaedic options can suit you better. Our collection page highlights orthopaedic mattresses as made for people who need more stability and back support.

You’ll see choices such as:

• Orthopaedic Mattress
  
• Orthopaedic Pillow Top (support plus extra surface comfort)

Mattress sizes UK buyers need to know before ordering

Nothing ruins the excitement of a new mattress like realising it doesn’t fit the frame (or it blocks the wardrobe door).

The collection filters show UK sizing across:

• Small Single (2ft6)
  
• Single (3ft)
  
• Small Double (4ft)
  
• Double (4ft6)
  
• King (5ft)
  
• Super King (6ft)
  

On product pages, you’ll also see approximate dimensions and depth. For example, the Orthopaedic Pillow Top listing shows a depth of 25cm and standard UK length/width measurements by size.

Quick measuring tips (that save hassle later)

• Measure the inside of your bed frame if you’re replacing an old mattress.
  
• Check stair turns and tight hallways — especially for King and Super King deliveries.
  
• If you’re upgrading size, make sure bedside tables and doors still open comfortably.
  

Mattress sale value without “cheap mattress” regrets

A cheap mattress can be tempting, especially if you need something quickly. The problem is that “cheap” sometimes means thin fillings, poor support, and a mattress that loses shape far too soon.

Our approach is simple: we’d rather offer strong value through clear discounts than cut the build quality. The mattress collection page mentions savings of up to 70% off during a limited-time offer.
You can also see pricing and savings directly on product tiles — for example, several mattresses show reduced prices and “SAVE” amounts.

If you’re shopping the mattress sale, focus on what you need first:

• Do you want a firmer, supportive feel? (orthopaedic / pocket sprung)
  
• Do you want contouring comfort? (memory foam / memory pocket)
  
• Do you want a plush surface feel? (pillow top)
  

Then choose the right size and let price be the final filter — not the first.

Delivery across the UK, plus the practical bits you want to know

No one wants vague delivery promises, especially with a big item like a mattress.

A few other useful notes shown on product pages:

• If your order includes bed setup, an assembly option (£75) is available at checkout (relevant for bed orders alongside mattresses).

FAQs: AQ Beds Mattresses in the United Kingdom

1) What is the best mattress UK buyers should choose for everyday comfort?

The “best” choice depends on your sleep style. If you want balanced support with less movement transfer, pocket sprung mattresses are a solid option because each spring works independently. If you prefer a more cushioned, body-contouring feel, memory foam or memory-pocket styles often suit side sleepers particularly well.

2) Do you offer different mattress sizes UK customers need (including small single)?

Yes. The mattress collection includes UK sizes from Small Single (2ft6) through to Super King (6ft), alongside Single, Small Double, Double, and King.

3) Is there a mattress sale on AQ Beds?

The collection page highlights a limited-time offer of up to 70% off, and individual products show sale pricing and savings on the tiles.

4) Are your mattresses suitable if I need stronger back support?

If you prefer a firmer, more supportive feel, orthopaedic-style mattresses are designed for stability and support. AQ Beds also sells mattresses that combine supportive layers with softer comfort materials, such as the Memory Spring Mattress which includes an orthopaedic layer for back support.

5) What’s the difference between pocket sprung and memory foam?

Pocket sprung mattresses use individual springs that respond separately to your body, which can reduce motion transfer. Memory foam is known for contouring to your body shape, helping relieve pressure points and supporting spinal alignment.

6) Do any mattresses help with allergies?

The mattress collection page notes that many mattresses use hypoallergenic covers designed to repel dust mites, which can help people who react to common bedroom allergens.

Product delivery information commonly states an estimated lead time of 2–3 working days for UK mainland, and that the team contacts you 24–48 hours before delivery to confirm.

AQ Beds’ Refund and Returns Policy states you can request a return, exchange, or refund within 28 days from the delivery date (UK and Ireland), under the policy terms.

10) I’m on a budget — how do I avoid a “cheap mattress” mistake?
