Medium Memory Foam Hybrid Support Giltedge Beds Mattresses

A medium mattress is often considered a universal comfort option, suitable for most people regardless of weight, sleeping position or preference. It offers enough support to keep the spine aligned and reduce pressure points while also providing enough cushioning to promote a night of comfortable and restful sleep.

Memory foam has the ability to conform to the shape of the body, allowing for even weight distribution and pressure relief. Memory Foam will return to its original shape once pressure is removed. The makeup of memory foam mattresses proves popular with people who suffer from joint pain, back pain.

A hybrid mattress offers the best of both worlds, the pressure relief and contouring of foam with the responsiveness and support of springs.

Giltedge Beds is a renowned manufacturer specializing in high-quality, luxury mattresses and beds designed for exceptional comfort and support. With a focus on craftsmanship and innovative technology.

Mattress FAQs

Everything you need to know before you buy

What mattress firmness is right for me?

Firmness depends on your sleep position, body weight and personal preference. Side sleepers generally suit a softer feel as it cushions pressure points at the hip and shoulder. Back sleepers do best with medium to medium firm — enough support to keep the spine aligned. Front sleepers need a firmer surface to prevent the lower back dipping. Heavier sleepers tend to need a firmer mattress as they compress the layers more.

How long should a mattress last?

Most mattresses last between 7 and 10 years with proper care. Higher quality pocket sprung and latex mattresses can last 10 to 15 years. Signs it's time to replace yours include visible sagging or lumps, waking with aches and pains, or simply not sleeping as well as you used to. Rotating your mattress regularly helps extend its life significantly.

What's the difference between pocket sprung and open coil?

Open coil mattresses use a single connected wire system — less expensive but more prone to motion transfer. Pocket sprung mattresses have individual springs each sewn into their own fabric pocket, so they respond independently to movement and weight. This means better support, less partner disturbance, and a longer lifespan. Pocket sprung is generally the superior choice for most sleepers.

Is memory foam good for back pain?

Memory foam can be very effective for back pain as it contours to the body's natural curves and distributes pressure evenly. However, if you need firm spinal support, a medium-firm pocket sprung or hybrid mattress may work better. It depends on the type and cause of your back pain — our mattress quiz can help match you to the right choice for your specific needs.

Do I need a specific mattress for my bed frame?

The most important thing is getting the right size. Most mattresses work with most frames. The exception is slatted frames — if the slats are more than 7cm apart you may need a sturdier mattress or a slatted base insert. Divan beds with a platform top provide the firmest, most even support and suit any mattress type. Adjustable beds require a specially designed flexible mattress.

What does spring count actually mean?

Spring count refers to the number of individual pocket springs in a king size mattress. Higher count generally means more targeted support — but it's not the only factor in quality. A 1,000 spring mattress from a reputable brand will often outperform a cheaper 3,000 spring mattress. The gauge of the springs, the fillings above them, and overall build quality matter just as much as the count.

How do I know if my mattress is too soft or too firm?

A mattress that's too soft will cause you to sink and feel unsupported — you may wake with lower back aches or find it hard to change position. One that's too firm creates pressure points at the hips and shoulders, especially for side sleepers. Ideally your spine should be in a neutral position — not bowed downward or arched upward — when lying in your normal sleep position.

What's the best mattress for couples?

The ideal couples mattress minimises motion transfer so neither partner disturbs the other. Pocket sprung mattresses with a high spring count (1,500+) are excellent for this as each spring reacts independently. Memory foam and hybrid mattresses also absorb movement well. If you and your partner prefer very different firmness levels, a zip and link mattress lets you join two mattresses together — each person gets their preferred feel.

How do I care for and maintain my mattress?

Rotate your mattress 180 degrees every 3 months for the first year, then every 6 months after (unless it's a no-turn model). Use a good quality mattress protector to guard against moisture and staining. Vacuum the surface regularly to remove dust. Allow your mattress to air periodically — pull back the covers for 20 minutes each morning before making the bed.

Ideally your spine should be in a neutral position — not bowed downward or arched upward — when lying in your normal sleep position.

What size mattress do I need?

The right size depends on your bedroom dimensions, whether you sleep alone or with a partner, and how much space you personally need to sleep comfortably. A double (135 x 190cm) is the most popular choice for couples in smaller rooms. A king size (150 x 200cm) gives noticeably more width and length and is worth the upgrade if your room allows it. A super king (180 x 200cm) is ideal if space is no object. For a single sleeper, a small double (120 x 190cm) gives room to stretch without taking up too much floor space.

The ideal couples mattress minimises motion transfer so neither partner disturbs the other. Pocket sprung mattresses with a high spring count (1,500+) are excellent for this as each spring reacts independently. Memory foam and hybrid mattresses also absorb movement well.

Memory Foam FAQ's

What is memory foam?

Memory foam is a specialized polyurethane foam engineered to conform to your body's shape in response to heat and pressure. Originally developed by NASA in the 1960s, it was designed to enhance seat cushioning and crash protection for astronauts.

How Memory Foam Works:

Body Contouring – Softens when exposed to body heat, molding to your shape to provide pressure relief.
Even Weight Distribution – Reduces pressure points and alleviates joint pain.
Slow Response Time – Gradually returns to its original shape after pressure is removed, minimizing motion transfer.

Types of Memory Foam:

Traditional Memory Foam – Offers deep contouring but may trap heat.
Gel-Infused Memory Foam – Incorporates cooling gel to help regulate temperature.
Open-Cell Memory Foam – Features a breathable structure to enhance airflow.

Key Benefits:
Exceptional pressure relief for joints and spine
Minimizes motion transfer, making it perfect for couples
Ensures even weight distribution for balanced support

What are the benefits of a memory foam mattress?

A memory foam mattress provides numerous benefits, making it a top choice for comfort and support. Here are the key advantages:

Superior Pressure Relief
Contours to Your Body – Evenly distributes weight, alleviating pressure on joints and muscles.
Great for Side Sleepers – Cushions shoulders and hips to prevent discomfort.
Excellent Spinal Alignment
Supports the natural curves of your spine, helping to reduce back pain.
Ideal for individuals with orthopedic issues or chronic pain.
Motion Isolation (Perfect for Couples)
Absorbs movement, ensuring one person’s tossing and turning doesn’t disturb the other.
No Noise or Squeaking
Unlike spring mattresses, memory foam operates silently when you move.
Hypoallergenic & Dust Mite Resistant
Perfect for allergy sufferers, as it resists dust mites, mold, and allergens.
Durable & Long-Lasting
With proper care, it can last 7–10 years and resists sagging better than traditional mattresses.
Compatible with Adjustable Beds
Flexible enough to work seamlessly with adjustable bed bases.

Is memory foam good for back pain?

Memory foam can be highly effective for alleviating back pain, but the firmness level and quality of the foam are crucial factors.

Why Memory Foam Helps with Back Pain:
Spinal Alignment – Memory foam molds to your body, helping maintain a neutral spine position.
Pressure Relief – Evenly distributes weight to reduce strain on the lower back.
Motion Isolation – Minimizes disturbances from movement, promoting better rest and recovery.

Best Memory Foam Firmness for Back Pain:

Medium-Firm (Best for Most People) – Offers a balance of support and comfort.
Firm (Best for Back Sleepers) – Keeps the spine aligned without excessive sinking.
Soft (Best for Side Sleepers) – Cushions shoulders and hips while supporting spinal alignment.

Memory Foam vs. Pocket Springs for Back Pain:

Memory Foam – Excels in contouring and pressure relief.
Pocket Springs – Provides firmer support with improved airflow.
Hybrid (Memory Foam + Springs) – Combines the contouring of memory foam with the support of springs, making it an excellent choice for back pain sufferers.

Do memory foam mattresses get hot?

Traditional memory foam mattresses can trap heat, but advancements in design have introduced features to enhance cooling.

Why Does Memory Foam Sleep Hot?
Heat Retention – The dense structure of memory foam can trap body heat.
Slow Response Time – The foam conforms closely to the body, limiting airflow.

How to Keep Memory Foam Cool:
Gel-Infused Memory Foam – Contains cooling gel beads to absorb and disperse heat.
Open-Cell Memory Foam – Features tiny air pockets to improve airflow.
Graphite or Copper-Infused Foam – Helps draw heat away from the body.
Breathable Mattress Covers – Opt for moisture-wicking or cooling fabrics like bamboo or Tencel.
Hybrid Mattresses – Combine memory foam with pocket springs to enhance airflow.

Tips to Stay Cool on a Memory Foam Mattress:

Use a cooling mattress topper (gel or latex).
Choose lightweight, breathable bedding (cotton or bamboo).
Use a fan or a bed frame with good ventilation to improve airflow.
