High quality matress advices 2022? The DreamCloud Premier makes its debut in our 2022 mattress ratings. Similar to the standard DreamCloud, the Premier is a hybrid mattress with a medium-firm feel of 6.5 out of 10. In our overall rating of the Best Mattresses, the DreamCloud and DreamCloud Premier are the tallest at 14 inches high. The Premier differs from the standard DreamCloud by offering more layers of foam above the spring coils. DreamCloud says these additional foam and memory foam layers offer more pressure relief while also providing better motion isolation.
It comes at a cost, but our reviewer has slept better than ever since having the Simba Hybrid Luxe. With barely any motion transfer and amazing edge-to-edge support, sharing a bed is never a problem. To add to this, the mattress has several layers that aid cooling among its 10 (yes 10) layers. There is an open cell casing wrapping a moisture wicking bamboo wool layer and a bamboo sleep surface that can be removed for washing. Overheating is less of a problem and only on the hottest nights does our reviewer find herself kicking off the covers. Paired with Simba’s Hybrid duvet temperature regulation is much easier. It also has three layers of springs in total. Two rows of 25mm Aerocoil springs sit together, then there are larger 40mm carbon steel springs further down the mattress. What this results in is not only supreme support, but really good weight distribution and minimal motion transfer – a must if your bed fellow is a fidget. Finally, we must mention Simba’s efforts towards making the most sustainable mattress they can. Their foam is made from recycled materials and fast-growing bamboo has been used in place of sheep’s wool to make this mattress pretty hot on eco credentials. The only drawback is the cost as starting at over £750 for a single, this may be out of the price range of many. If you can afford it, it is a great investment in amazing sleep.
We loved this hybrid mattress as it felt like the true Goldilocks choice – not too firm, not too soft. When we initially tested it we thought it was very soft, but after sleeping on it we’ve come to realise beneath all that sumptuous memory foam is some serious support from five zones of springs, designed to adapt to your body as you move in the night. These springs work independently of each other, which meant our co-tester didn’t wake us up no matter how much they fidgeted in the night. A reinforced core zone is designed to keep spines aligned, which while we can’t medically say happened, we certainly felt supported.
What level of firmness do I need? There is no hard and fast rule with firmness. Comfort is the most important thing, says Simon Williams of the National Bed Federation. Most mattresses sold are medium. Clearly it is important not to choose one that is so soft that it doesn’t offer sufficient support. On the other hand, choosing one that is too firm could cause pressure points and pins and needles. Hybrid – as you might have figured from the name, hybrid combines both memory foam and springs to give you the best of both worlds. They should provide that luxurious sinking feeling alongside some solid spring support. Find even more details on Mattressly.
The Brook + Wilde Ultima is a true all-rounder: comfortable, supportive and even cooling, we couldn’t fault it. However, at from £1,799 for a double, it’s a real investment. If you’re willing to pay, though, you’ll get a really good night’s sleep and we think for all of the benefits listed below, it is worth it. So, who will suit the Ultima mattress? Well, pretty much all sleepers! With ten layers, this mattress give plenty of support to back, side and front sleepers alike, and help to relieve aches and pains. It’s also great for people with fidgety partners, and those who get too warm in bed. Our reviewer tried a medium and would say it’s pretty much exactly that, offering the perfect flat surface with a bit of give to support for her back. She often suffers from lower back pain, but the day after sleeping on the Ultima, she woke up with no pain whatsoever. She also noticed next-to-no motion transfer, despite the fact that her partner came to bed later than her.
