Should I get a soft mattress?
If sinking into cloud-like comfort sounds like an absolute dream, then a soft mattress could be the perfect choice for your bedroom.
With these mattresses, it’s all about that luxuriously soft feeling, gently cushioning your body and cradling your pressure points while you drift off. Whether you love to snuggle up at night, wake up feeling refreshed, or simply enjoy that extra touch of bedtime indulgence, our collection has got you covered.

What soft mattress sizes are available?
Whatever size bed you’ve got, there’s a soft mattress waiting to work its magic.
If you’re looking for something more compact for the spare room, then our single mattresses fit the bill perfectly. You can also snuggle up on one of our double mattresses – which are a great choice for both couples and solo snoozers who like to starfish.
And for those who really love to stretch out at bedtime, our king size and super king size mattresses offer unrivalled space. No longer will you be pushed off the bed by a fidgeting partner!
If you aren’t sure which size suits your bed best, grab a measuring tape to check the dimensions for yourself – or head over to our beds and mattresses size guide.
Are soft mattresses good for side sleepers?
Absolutely! If you’re a side sleeper, a soft mattress could be just the thing you need for a more comfortable night’s sleep. That’s because the sink-in softness cushions your hips and shoulders, easing those pressure points and helping you drift off to sleep.
That said, they aren’t just for side sleepers – front sleepers and back sleepers can enjoy this cloud-like comfort too. If you prefer a softer feel in general, or you need pressure relief for any aches and pains, these mattresses can be a great choice.
Are hard or soft mattresses better for your back?
When it comes to sleeping with back pain, most experts recommend opting for a medium mattress, which provides the perfect balance between soft and firm mattresses.
But that doesn’t mean soft mattresses are off the table completely! With the right design – think supportive memory foam or clever pocket springs – a softer model can still help ease back pain, while also offering that cosy, plush feel you love.
