What is it?

A sprung memory foam mattress is a hybrid of a pocket-sprung base and a memory-foam top layer.

Pros

A compromise between the responsiveness of a pocket-sprung mattress and the support of memory foam. There's also no need to turn the mattress.

Cons

The ‘sinking' sensation can put people off, which also means it isn't recommended for young children, in case they roll onto their face and breathing is inhibited.

Best for

People who still want the feel of a pocket-sprung mattress, without the natural fillings that may irritate allergies.

Cost

From £525
