In shortIf you sleep on your side or back and like a close memory foam feel, I'd call this good value. One owner found its Medium feel firmer than expected, though, and I'd look elsewhere if you sleep hot. Read the review

What our reviewers found

Pros

  • The mattress is described as very comfortable, providing just the right level of support.
  • It represents great value for money, reflecting its high quality and affordable price.
  • An ideal balance of medium-to-firm support that caters well to individual sleep preferences.
  • Its medium firmness provides adequate contouring and support particularly beneficial for side sleepers.
  • It is hypoallergenic, with a removable, washable cover.

Cons

  • Despite being marketed as a medium firmness, one owner found it closer to medium-firm or firm, which might be excessively firm for some side sleepers resulting in discomfort.
  • It is single-sided, so you rotate it but can't flip it, and it won't last as long as a mattress you can turn.
  • Although it offers hypoallergenic properties, the mattress doesn't have specific features to aid with heat regulation, which might lead to less comfort for hot sleepers who may experience overheating during the night.

Owning a mattress that provides not only comfort, but also personalised support tailored to your body's needs, is a real standout feature. Many of us underestimate the importance of a good mattress in achieving quality sleep, which is necessary for the maintenance of our health and well-being.1 As a seasoned mattress critic with over ten years of experience in the industry, I've had the pleasure of examining countless mattress designs and constructions. Today, we're looking at the Bodyshape Vitality Memory Foam Mattress.

Design and Features

The Bodyshape Vitality Memory Foam Mattress is crafted to offer a comfort like sleeping on a plush cloud. It is a 15.5cm reflex foam base under a soft 2.5cm layer of high-density memory foam, built for a close, body-contouring feel. The reflex foam does the supporting and responds as your weight and position change; the memory foam on top shapes itself around your body to ease pressure points.

Aside from these comfort-inducing layers, the mattress features a foam-encased border that promises a security rarely found in other mattresses. This reinforced edge aims to mitigate the risk of sinking or rolling off, ensuring every inch of the mattress can be used for sleeping. The mattress is sensitively designed for individuals with allergies. Its hypoallergenic properties, coupled with a skin-friendly, removable, and washable stretch knit cover, aspires to offer an itch-free and sneeze-free sleep.

Comfort Level and Suitability

The mattress has a medium firmness level, striking a balance between comfort and support. Consequently, it is especially relevant to those who sleep on their back or side, as it maintains the alignment of the hips and shoulders. Heavier sleepers and strict back sleepers should buy something firmer.

From a personal perspective, I find the lack of any cooling mechanism, such as gel or charcoal infusion in the memory foam, a slight disappointment. Memory foam sleeps warm, so hot sleepers and summer nights are where it falls down. If you sleep cold or don't mind a bit of extra warmth, it's good value.

Customer Opinions

Comfort and price are what owners mention most, and one summed both up as "Very comfortable,just the right support,good price." Another simply wrote "Very reasonably priced mattress." Service gets a mention as well, with one owner rating it "even better" than the mattress itself. The one reservation is firmness: an owner who ordered it as Medium found it "more medium/firm. to firm", though they were still pleased with it as a replacement for two "very insubstantial" trundle-bed mattresses. However, as a reviewer, it's crucial to remind potential buyers of the differences between perceived and intrinsic values. While this mattress ticks the boxes of an affordable comfort haven, there is no cooling technology in it, and hot sleepers will notice.

The Verdict

The Bodyshape Vitality Memory Foam Mattress certainly has its strengths. The mattress's adaptive support, impressive reflex memory foam layer, hypoallergenic composition, and secure foam border make it a strong entry-level choice. Its warmth is the deal-breaker for hot sleepers.

The Bodyshape Vitality Memory Foam Mattress, notwithstanding its imperfections, is a good match for side sleepers and average-weight back sleepers who like a warm, close memory-foam feel. However, potential buyers should be mindful of its perceived warmth and the suitability of the firmness level for their sleep style and body structure.

Scored from the build: how this construction usually performs, compared with mattresses of a similar type and price.
Scored from the build: how this construction usually performs, compared with mattresses of a similar type and price.

Suitability

  • Back Sleepers 4/5
  • The amount of support offered from a mattress will vary depending on the firmness of the tension and the type of support layer used. Based on a person of average build.
  • Side Sleepers 4.5/5
  • If you sleep on your side you typically need a supportive tension that is not too firm, nor too soft. This is because your hips and shoulders need adequate sinkage.
  • Stomach Sleepers 3.5/5
  • Stomach sleepers need a reasonable amount of tension in the base support layer to adequately offer body contouring and help prevent aches and pains. Results will vary based on your build.

Performance

  • Breathability 3.5/5
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress 3.5/5
  • Certain materials like memory foam can make it difficult to move about on the mattress while you toss and turn. Same too for pillow tops which can create a cloud like sensation which can make manoeuvrability challenging.
  • Stability 3.5/5
  • Depending on the type of support layer in place can have an impact on stability, edge to edge support and roll together prevention. Pocket springs of a firmer tension will have better stability than open coil soft tension, for example.

Odour

  • Initial Odour 4.5/5
  • Materials in mattresses, particularly memory foam and rolled bed-in-a-box mattresses can have an initial odour, this is typically short term and reduces considerably within 24 hours.
  • Long Standing Odour 5/5
  • Certain materials inside different mattresses can produce a small odour. Typically this is short term rather than long standing but there are minor exceptions.

Brand Rating

  • Overall Brand Rating 4.5/5
  • This is based on community driven customer reviews tied to product reviews and grouped together at a brand level to produce a score.

Ordered as 'medium' - although in my opinion it is more medium/firm. to firm. Bought to replace two very insubstantial mattresses that came with trundle beds, and I am pleased with the purchase.
