Simba hybrid pro mattress, king: Was £1,749, now £1,049.40, Simbasleep.com
Securing a spot in our round-up of the best mattresses, our tester said they were “thoroughly impressed” with Simba’s hybrid design. Right now, you can save 45 per cent on the top-rated design in Simba’s sale. “A layer of memory foam moulds to your body, gently cradling you, while a layer of springs gives more considered support, which saw us wake without any aches or pains,” our tester said. An ideal choice year-round, there’s a layer of wool under the surface of the mattress, which has natural temperature-regulating and hypoallergenic properties, meaning our tester didn’t overheat. They added that, with its seven-layer design, it’s one of the more luxurious mattresses you can buy – meaning you don’t want to miss out while it’s on sale. The discount is applied automatically at the checkout, and you’ll also get a free mattress protector.
Hypnos wool origins 6 mattress, king: Was £1,902, now £1,089, Mattressnextday.co.uk
“Holy comfort levels, this Hypnos mattress is incredible,” said our writer in their review of the best mattresses, where this one took the top spot. It was praised for being supportive, regardless of whether our tester was sleeping on their front, back or side, thanks to the springs working independently “to support your body and react to movement, weight and shape”. It’s “perfect for even the fussiest of sleepers”, making it an ideal pick, particularly while it’s on sale.
Casper hybrid mattress, super king: Was £1,250, now £1,000, Mattressonline.co.uk
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.”
The writer was impressed before she’d even got it 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 to our excitement over the immediate comfort.” With £250 off and such a rave review, this really is a no-brainer.
Simba hybrid mattress, double: Was £1,079, now £647.40, Simbasleep.com
This one came out top in our Emma vs Simba hybrid mattress review, thanks to being the perfect match for “front or side sleepers (which, let’s face it, make up the majority of sleepers).”
Its temperature regulation also got a special mention, with our writer noting that, even in summer, “you’ll find this keeps sweat at bay, thanks to pretty much every layer having been designed to promote airflow and cooling – something you won’t find in mattresses made purely of foam.”

Simba hybrid luxe mattress, king: Was £2,399, now £1,439.40, Simbasleep.com

Emma hybrid premium mattress, double: Was £1,099, now £494.55, Emma-sleep.co.uk
Sleep brand Emma is continuing its sale offers, with up to 55 per cent off many of its bestselling mattresses. With both the original and premium options getting the thumbs up from testers in our round-up of the best mattresses, you’re in safe hands with the brand. The best deal to be had right now is on its hybrid premium mattress, which has more than £500 knocked off the price. In our review of the model, our tester said: “If you like your mattresses on the slightly softer and bouncier side, you’re bound to love this Emma mattress that would be right at home in a five-star hotel.” Concluding that the “versatile hybrid” is certainly worth the money, now’s the time to invest.
Otty the Otty hybrid mattress, double: Was £949.99, now £524.99, Otty.com
Having featured in our review of the best mattress 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 this up while it’s 45 per cent off.

Our writer noted that it “is a dream to sleep on – and it’s certainly one for those suffering with niggling aches and pains”. They noted that 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”.
Simba hybrid kids’ mattress, single: Was £499, now £299.40, Simbasleep.com
This design featured in our review of the best mattresses for kids, and our writer noted that: “Simba has taken all the techno wizardary from its adult mattress and adjusted it specifically for this kids’ mattress.” As you’d expect: “The result is a very fancy mattress indeed.” It provides “incredible support” and our tester had a “very comfy night’s sleep”.
Dusk cool gel foam 2,000 pocket-sprung hybrid mattress, super king: Was £549, now £399, Dusk.com
If you struggle with temperature regulation, this design from Dusk was named the best for its cooling properties in our guide to the best mattresses. The top layer is made from cooling gel foam, “which is designed to maximise airflow and keep you temperate all night long – great for those liable to night sweats”, said our tester. Despite being a relatively new brand to enter the mattress market, that hasn’t stopped Dusk from creating a “seriously decent mattress”, praised our writer. It was noted as being one of the best hybrids for “fantastic edge-to-edge support” and is “one of those mattresses that makes it hard to get out of bed”. By entering the code “SAVE20” at the checkout, you’ll save an additional 20 per cent.
