Quick verdict
This is a compare-and-choose shortlist, not a single-winner ranking, because the five mattresses mix true memory foam, memory-led pocket sprung options and a hybrid. The clearest true memory foam pick is the Bodyshape Vitality Memory Foam Ortho Mattress, which starts from £189 and is listed as Firm, while the range also stretches up to £605 on larger sizes for models like the Bodyshape Gel 2000 Pocket Hybrid Mattress. If you want the easiest entry point, start with the Bodyshape Vitality; if you want more spring support or a different feel, compare the Aspire Pocket+ 1000 Tufted Mattress and Bodyshape Boost 1000 Pocket Memory Mattress side by side before deciding.
Top picks to compare
Start with Aspire Pocket+ 1000 Tufted Mattress (£205-£305), Bodyshape Boost 1000 Pocket Memory Mattress (£299-£589), Bodyshape Gel 2000 Pocket Hybrid Mattress (£335-£605) because they give you a focused set of current retailer options to compare. The visible price range is £189-£605, so check whether the extra spend buys a useful specification difference rather than only a different brand or finish. The shortlist includes Aspire, Bodyshape, which helps you compare familiar brands against specification, delivery and value.

At-a-glance comparison
Use this table to scan the shortlist quickly before opening individual product pages. It covers Pocket Sprung, Hybrid, Memory Foam, so compare like-for-like where possible before deciding which mattress best fits your usual sleep position, preferred firmness and bed-frame size. Firmness differences include Firm; Firmness differences can matter as much as headline price when you are matching a product to a specific need.

What the retailer and product pages show
Mattress Online frames memory foam as a pressure-relieving option that adapts to the body, but its memory-foam shopping area also includes hybrids and pocket sprung mattresses with memory-foam comfort layers. That matters here, because only one shortlist item is a clearly true memory foam mattress: the Bodyshape Vitality Memory Foam Ortho Mattress. Across the listed products, Mattress Online shows a 100-night comfort trial and free delivery to most locations, while guarantee lengths vary by model, so it is worth checking the exact wording on each page before you buy. The evidence is useful for comparison, but it is mainly retailer-led, so treat rating averages as a light confidence signal rather than a full verdict.
Buyer trade-offs to weigh before ordering
The biggest trade-off is feel: true memory foam is more about contouring comfort, while pocket sprung and hybrid options add spring support and a different overall response. Price by size also changes the picture, with the shortlist running from £189 to £605, so a higher ticket price should only matter if the construction upgrade is meaningful for your needs. Check depth and frame compatibility as well, because mattress depth can affect bedding, toppers and bed frames, especially if you are replacing an older model or buying for a tighter frame. Delivery and guarantee terms are worth a final look too: the supplied pages show a 100-night comfort trial and free delivery to most locations, but guarantee length is not the same across the shortlist.
Why these five mattresses made the shortlist
The shortlist contains 5 mattresses from 2 brands, Aspire and Bodyshape, and spans 3 product types: Pocket Sprung, Hybrid and Memory Foam. That mix is exactly why the page is useful for shoppers who search for memory foam but may still be open to a pocket sprung or hybrid alternative if the feel and value are better. It is not a definitive list of only memory foam mattresses, but it is a practical comparison set for buyers who want to compare pressure-relief-led comfort with different support constructions. The models also cover a useful spread of price and firmness cues, so you can narrow the field by feel rather than brand alone.
Shortlist benchmark at a glance
Current benchmark pricing shows a range from £189 to £335 at the entry point, with some size options extending higher in the product pages, up to £605. The clearest value-entry model is the Bodyshape Vitality Memory Foam Ortho Mattress from £189-£359, while the Bodyshape Gel 2000 Pocket Hybrid Mattress sits higher from £335-£605 and brings a hybrid build with Gel Foam and pocket springs. Aspire’s Pocket+ 1000 Tufted Mattress starts from £205-£305, and Bodyshape’s Boost 1000 Pocket Memory Mattress starts from £299-£589, so the spread is large enough that build type matters more than the headline label. Visible rating averages are present, but review-count evidence is weak or absent for these exact shortlist items, so do not treat the star rating alone as a strong reason to choose one.
How to choose between them
If you want a true memory foam feel, the Bodyshape Vitality Memory Foam Ortho Mattress is the clearest match in the shortlist and is also the lowest starting price. If you want a more spring-led feel with memory-foam influence, compare the Bodyshape Boost 1000 Pocket Memory Mattress against the Aspire Pocket+ 1000 Tufted Mattress, because both are pocket sprung but differ in how much memory-led comfort they bring to the table. If you prefer a hybrid-style option, the Bodyshape Gel 2000 Pocket Hybrid Mattress adds Gel Foam with pocket springs and may suit shoppers who want a different feel from an all-foam build. Before ordering, check size availability, mattress depth and whether the product is listed as Firm or Medium, because those details are often more important than the brand name alone.
Value notes: what the extra spend changes
Value here is about whether a higher price buys a construction that suits your sleep setup better, not just a different product name. The Bodyshape Vitality is the lowest starting point at £189-£359, while the Bodyshape Gel 2000 Pocket Hybrid Mattress goes up to £605, so the extra spend should be justified by the change from firm memory foam to a hybrid pocket-spring-and-gel-foam build. Aspire’s Pocket+ 1000 Tufted Mattress sits closer to the entry end at £205-£305, which may appeal if you want a simpler pocket sprung option with a 5-year guarantee. Check the latest retailer price, availability and guarantee wording before buying, because those details can vary by size and can change what the best value looks like on the day.

Buying questions
Is this a true memory foam shortlist or a mixed comparison list?
It is a mixed comparison list. Only the Bodyshape Vitality Memory Foam Ortho Mattress is clearly a true memory foam mattress; the others are pocket sprung or hybrid options with memory-led comfort details, so shoppers should compare construction as well as price.
Which option is best if I want pressure relief without buying the cheapest mattress?
Look first at feel and construction, not just price. The Bodyshape Vitality Memory Foam Ortho Mattress is the clearest true memory foam option from £189, while the Bodyshape Boost 1000 Pocket Memory Mattress and Bodyshape Gel 2000 Pocket Hybrid Mattress may suit shoppers who want spring support alongside foam comfort.
What should I check before ordering on Mattress Online?
Check the latest size price, mattress depth, firm or medium feel, guarantee length, delivery wording and whether the mattress suits your bed frame. The page notes a 100-night comfort trial and free delivery to most locations, but guarantee terms vary by model.
