Bodyshape Vitality Tufted Ortho Mattress

In shortBack sleepers who like a Medium Firm feel get soft polyester cushioning over traditional springs, with reinforced edges too. I'd call it good value, though side sleepers may want more give and one reviewer reports dents where they sleep. Read the review

Who is it best for? powered by SnoozeScore

In our experience, the materials and construction that go into this product can make it suitable for the following people.

What our reviewers found

Pros

  • Offers a rejuvenating rest by flawlessly alleviating aches and pains.
  • Reinforced metal rod system provides durable border support and maximises sleep space, preventing 'roll-off' or 'roll-together' feeling.
  • Soft polyester comfort layer relieves built-up pressure for a calming, weightless feel.
  • The double-sided design of the mattress and the handy turning handles make maintenance easy and stress-free.
  • Owners often call it comfortable with a firm feel, and many mention good value for money.

Cons

  • Potential for indentations: One owner found "there seems to be two dents where we have slept".
  • Slight bounce: Despite the orthopaedic design, one owner found it "a little bouncy", which could disturb light sleepers who share the bed.
  • Firmness level may not suit all: With a medium to firm comfort rating, it may not provide adequate sinkage for side sleepers or those with an hourglass figure, possibly resulting in discomfort or poor spinal alignment.

Good sleep is non-negotiable - it's the cornerstone of our overall health and wellbeing.1 An essential factor that drives sound sleep is the comfort your mattress provides, thermal comfort included. The Bodyshape Vitality Tufted Ortho Mattress promises to ease postural aches, without burning a hole in your pocket.2

How we assessed it

This is a simple, traditional build: a 24cm double-sided mattress with open coil springs, soft polyester fibre over them and tufts to hold that filling in place. Open coil springs with only fibre on top should feel springy and fairly firm, and the tufting tightens the surface further, so I'd expect it to sit at the firm end of its medium to firm rating. Owners describe the same thing: one calls it "medium firm with no edge roll", which fits the metal rod running round the border. Another found it "Really quite firm". Open coil is a build I'd keep for a guest room or a tight budget, because the linked springs pass movement across the bed. The guarantee is one year.

Design and Features

The Bodyshape Vitality Tufted Ortho Mattress brings to you a perfect blend of comfort and durability. Its centrepiece is a sturdy open coil bonnell spring structure that assures full body support while also ensuring that you don't sink too deep and are held in a comforting embrace. This mattress provides a personalised care to your unique shape due to the responsive nature of the springs. Aesthetically, the mattress is traditionally tufted and comes with a quilted border giving it a classic finish. Contrary to many other mattresses, this one is double-sided implying more extended durability. The sturdy border of the mattress is provided with a reinforced metal rod system to avoid sagging and help with undisturbed slumber. As an added convenience, the mattress also comes with clever turning handles to make it easy to flip and rotate.

Mattress Comfort

When it comes to comfort, the Bodyshape Vitality Tufted Ortho Mattress scores well. Its open coil bonnell spring structure, coupled with the polyester comfort layer, does an excellent job of relieving pressure and providing a comforting embrace. The mattress has a medium to firm comfort rating, making it apt for the correct alignment of your spine whilst also relieving pressure on your joints. However, despite the comfort the mattress provides, the tufting does create a slightly firmer feel that might be uncomfortably firm for some.

Suitability

The Bodyshape Vitality Tufted Ortho Mattress comes with a medium to firm base that encourages soothing spinal alignment. This makes it an ideal choice for back sleepers or those suffering from back pain. However, if you're a side sleeper or a person with an hourglass figure, you might need to consider a slightly softer tension for more comfort and sinkage. While it offers firm orthopaedic support, the tufting makes the mattress feel more firm and might not be to everyone's personal preference.

What Customers Thought

Comfort is what owners mention most, and several like that it sits on the firm side, with one writing "On the firm side which is good." Value for money comes up a lot too, and a fair few bought it for a spare or guest room. One called it a "'solid' basic that meets the needs of a spare or guest bedroom", though a few of those buyers hadn't slept on it themselves when they wrote their review. The delivery and old-mattress disposal service gets regular praise. One owner reported "no back pain on the mornings". The complaints are few and specific: one owner found "there seems to be two dents where we have slept", and another, who called it "comfortable (on the firmer side)", also found it "a little bouncy".

The Verdict

The Bodyshape Vitality Tufted Ortho Mattress is a budget-friendly choice that doesn't compromise on comfort and support. Its open coil bonnell spring structure, cosy cushioning, and added features like reinforced edge support and turning handles are notable features. However, while it seems to be the perfect classified comfort for back sleepers and those in search of a firmer mattress, it may not suit everyone's comfort preference due to the tufting making it feel more firm than expected.

Comfort is subjective and varies on an individual basis. Be sure to consider your personal preferences and the above factors when making a selection. With careful consideration, the Bodyshape Vitality Tufted Ortho Mattress could potentially be an excellent choice for a revitalising and restful night's sleep.

Suitability

  • Back Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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

  • Stability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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.

Ease of Use

  • Turning handles
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses typically need to be rotated frequently and having turning handles can be massively beneficial, particularly in larger sizes which can become fairly heavy.

Odour

  • Initial Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • This is based on community driven customer reviews tied to product reviews and grouped together at a brand level to produce a score.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars Excellent service Excellent service, came quickly. The mattress is so good I haven't had a good sleep like that in a very long time! It's slightly larger, as in taller and thick but fits snug on my bed frame. It's top quality, firm but soft exactly where I need it to be. Makes me feel like a princess sitting in my new bed with the height difference! Thank you Date of experience: 10 June 2025 Copied and pasted from your review on trust pilot. I'm deducting a star for the hassle in my emails to post here. I type one review only. Yes I am awkward!

Used for guest bedroom, medium firm with no edge roll, we added a memory foam topper for extra luxury. Various guests have been very satisfied and slept well during their visit to us. Good value and service.
