If you’re on the lookout for a whole new sleep setup, the Dusk sale could be a great place to start. With 2,000 heat tempered pocket springs and a layer of memory foam, this mattress is sure to help you sleep soundly. The cover is also removable, making it easy to wash, too.

Happy Beds signature crystal 3000 pocket sprung orthopaedic natural fillings mattress, double: Was £489.99, now £344.99, Happybeds.co.uk

(Happy beds)

This Happy Beds mattress featured in our previous guide to the best mattresses for back pain. Our writer noted it is “a dream to sleep on – and it’s certainly one for those suffering with niggling aches and pains”. They said they also loved the “personal touch – enter your weight (and your partner’s) on the site, and Happy Beds will recommend a firmness rating for you”.

Rem-Fit remy kidz mattress: Was £349, now £209.40, Rem-fit.co.uk

(Rem-Fit)

When it comes to kids’ mattresses, savvy shoppers will be on the lookout for high-quality products that won't break the bank – who wants to spend a fortune on something kids will outgrow? Thankfully, one of our favourite tried-and-tested kids' mattresses now has 40 per cent off. Our tester said: “This eco-friendly mattress is made from 75 per cent upcycled foams but compromises nothing on comfort. Even the soft, textured zip-off cover is made from 100 per cent upcycled marine plastics.”

Best mattresses between £500 and £1,000:

Casper hybrid mattress, single: Was £625, now £500, Mattressonline.co.uk

(Casper)

In our previous guide to the best mattresses, our writer described this one as “combining the brand’s legendary foams with a base layer of springs, you get instant sumptuousness, from the moulding of the four foam layers around your body, coupled with added bounce and airflow, thanks to the pocket coil springs”.

Our writer was impressed before she’d even got this mattress out of its vacuum pack: “How can those springs be so compressible? Nearly five years of research, is the answer from Casper, but that was nothing compared with our excitement over the immediate comfort.” With £125 off and such a rave review, this really is a no-brainer.

Tempur cloud supreme, single: Was £1,259, now £899, Tempur.com

(Tempur)

We’re big fans of Tempur mattresses, with one of our testers having written an in-depth rave review of one of the brand’s models. “Tempur mattresses are quite the investment but the materials and technology they bring is second to none,” our reviewer shared. The cloud supreme promises to instantly cushion you, for an enveloping feeling, thanks to the three-layered design, and a saving of £360 is sure to make it all the more sweeter.

Eve Sleep wunderflip ultimate hybrid mattress, double: Was £1,199, now £599, Evesleep.co.uk

(Eve Sleep)

If it’s a hybrid mattress you’re looking for, this Eve option has seen an impressive saving of £600. A similar hybrid model from Eve was praised by our reviewer, so, you’re in safe hands with the brand. “The memory foam layer hugs the body and Eve Sleep’s trademarked floatfoam is cloud-like layer that acts as the cherry on top,” our writer said. Coming in at £600, this is a similarly great, high-tech choice.

Nectar premier hybrid mattress bundle, king: Was £1,205, now £1,000, Nectarsleep.co.uk

(Nectar)

When you buy this mattress, you can get a bedding bundle for free, saving you £205. The bundle includes a duvet, mattress protector, and a bedding set with a fitted sheet, duvet cover and pillowcases. Eight layers deep, the mattress itself combines excellent support with precision engineering that enables the mattress to adjust to all body shapes. While we haven’t reviewed this exact design, a similar memory foam mattress from the brand is an IndyBest favourite, having been rated four out of five stars by our tester. In their in-depth review, our tester said: “Regardless of what type of sleeper you are, you should find the Nectar memory foam mattress both comfy and supportive.”

Otty the Otty hybrid mattress, king: Was £799.99, now £674.99, Otty.com

(Otty)

Having featured in a previous IndyBest review of the best mattresses for back pain, this was praised by our tester for being a “great all-rounder” that has “multiple layers of support”. It also “minimises motion transfer, which is music to the ears of bed-sharers of different weights and sizes”. Should you be suffering from aches and pains, snap up this option while it’s discounted.

Dormeo octasmart plus memory mattress, super king: Was £899, now £774.70, Amazon.co.uk

(Amazon)

Our favourite budget mattress is now even more affordable, thanks to this offer at Amazon. Our tester said: “We benefitted from the cooling technology during balmy nights, as well as the hybrid design, which improved our pressure points in just two weeks.” They delighted in the fact that you get “a lot of bang for your buck” with this mattress.

Best mattresses between £1,000 and £2,000:

Hypnos wool origins 6 mattress, king: Was £2,079, now £1,449, Mynextmattress.co.uk

(Hypnos)

This Hypnos wool design now comes with a saving of more than £600. “The edge-to-edge support is second to none, and the medium tension provides fantastic support,” our reviewer said when they put this mattress to the test. It comes with a pocket-sprung system and eight layers of traceable British wool that regulate body temperature – it’s enough to make you look forward to bed time.

Simba mattress bundle, king: Was £1,466, now £1,099.50, Simbasleep.com

(Simba)

For just over a £1,000, you can rest assured you’ll get a good night’s sleep with this Simba bundle. The deal includes the brand’s fan-favourite king-size hybrid mattress, plus a hybrid duvet and two hybrid pillows thrown in for good measure. Designed with medium firmness, the hybrid design “gives an instant and cloud-like balance of comfort and support right up to the edges”, according to our tester. Meanwhile, the hybrid pillow was similarly praised by our sleep testers. “It’s a brilliant pillow for active people who are prone to the odd neck or shoulder strain, or anyone with a pre-existing injury, because it absolutely won’t exacerbate any damage,” they said.
