A memory foam mattress is one that’s made using a high-density foam. This foam responds to the shape and heat of your body to deliver personalised support where you need it most. The benefits of a contouring sleep surface include fantastic pressure-relieving properties. So much so that foam is now used in both mattresses and pillows.
Originally designed for astronauts in space, memory foam mattresses are suitable for people of all ages and health conditions. They come in sizes ranging from small single all the way up to super king. So, you’ll find the right memory foam mattress for every member of the family – even your little ones!
Memory foam mattresses are ideal for growing children as the high-density foam help to ensure their spine is properly aligned while they sleep. This promotes a better sleeping position and a deeper, better-quality sleep.
Once you’ve decided on your preferred mattress material, there’s also firmness ratings and brands to think about.
The right firmness rating for you ultimately depends on your weight, preferred sleep position and personal preference. After all, some of us like to sink into a soft mattress while others prefer the support of an extra firm mattress. Once you’ve chosen the right comfort rating for you, you’ll be able to find your ideal memory foam mattress with ease. All of our memory foam mattresses are labelled with our Firmness Rating System, with soft being the squishiest and extra firm being the hardest. Most of our memory foam mattresses sit in the middle at a medium or firm.
As a guide, we recommend a soft to medium firmness rating for side sleepers and a firm or extra firm mattress for front and back sleepers. This is because a firmer sleep surface offers more support, promoting better spine alignment and relieving pressure wherever necessary.
Still not sure? We know buying a mattress online isn’t everyone’s cup of tea so you can always come in store and try SleepPro. This exclusive technology calculates your ideal firmness rating by creating a personalised sleep profile based on your weight distribution and pressure points.
At Bensons, we do our best to appeal to the needs and wants of every customer and so, all of our mattress types come in a range of firmness ratings. This extends to our memory foam mattresses too
A soft memory foam mattress is a great choice for lightweight side-sleepers – including children. This means that memory foam soft mattresses could be an ideal option to consider while shopping for a new mattress for the kids.
Medium memory foam mattresses (or medium-firm memory foam mattresses) are great for adult side-sleepers of average height and build. Medium mattresses offer enough resistance to support you properly while you sleep but are soft enough on pressure points such as hips and shoulders to ensure a comfortable night’s sleep.
If you sleep on your back or your front, a firm memory foam mattress could be a good fit. Firm mattresses deliver a firmer level of support which helps to keep your spine correctly aligned while you sleep. Heavier side sleepers might also benefit from the extra support offered by firm memory foam mattresses.
Whether you like a really firm mattress or are a heavier build, an extra firm memory foam mattress could be for you. Learn more about how to choose a memory foam mattress based on your preferred sleeping position here.

When choosing which memory foam mattress size you need, there are three primary questions to ask yourself:
Who will usually be sleeping in the bed?
How big is the bedroom the mattress will be living in?
What is your preferred sleep style?
At Bensons for Beds, we have memory foam mattresses in every size, so you needn’t worry about finding the size you want.
Here’s an overview of the different sizes and who they’re suited to:
Small single memory foam mattresses. Small single mattresses are generally ideal as a transitional option in between a cot bed and a full sized single. They’re also a great option for box bedrooms in which a full size single simply won’t fit. A small single memory foam mattress measures 75cm x 190cm (or 2ft6" x 6ft3") and sleeps one adult comfortably.
Single memory foam mattresses. A single mattress in the UK measures 90cm x 190cm (or 3ft x 6ft3”) and has been designed to ensure that solo adult sleepers have ample room to move around and get comfy during the night. If you’re on the lookout for a single memory foam mattress, we have plenty of options to choose from.
Small double memory foam mattresses. Small double mattresses offer a more generous amount of space for solo sleepers to spread out or enough room to sleep two if you have a smaller sized master bedroom. The mattresses in our small double memory foam collection measure 120cm x 190cm (or 4ft x 6ft3”).
Double memory foam mattresses. Double mattresses are one of the most popular mattress sizes here in the UK. A double memory foam mattress has been designed to sleep two people comfortably on a regular basis and measures a compact 135cm x 190cm (or 4ft6” x 6ft3”). For anyone shopping for a double mattress, memory foam is one type worth considering.
King size memory foam mattresses. Thanks to the rise of sleep awareness, more and more people are upgrading their double bed and mattresses to king size. And in the UK, a king size memory foam mattress measures 150cm x 200cm (or 5ft x 6ft6”). This means you’ll have an extra 15cm of mattress width, and 10cm extra in length to spread out while you sleep with a king size rather than a double.
Super king memory foam mattresses. Super king mattresses are the biggest standard mattress size in the UK. Measuring 180cm x 200cm (or 6ft x 6ft6”), a super king memory foam mattress will give both you and your partner ample room to spread out and sleep comfortable all night long.
A good-quality memory foam mattress isn’t exactly cheap. And those offering premium features can stretch budgets to their limits. But at Bensons, we believe that a great night sleep should be accessible to all.
And so, we offer a range of payment options to make buying the right bed and mattress easier to budget for. Pay for your new memory foam mattress using 0% interest-free finance, Buy Now Pay Later, or Klarna pay-in-3 and spread the cost out a bit more affordably.
