The TeQsli 25cm King hybrid mattress is our top pick under £500 because its listing states 7-zone independent pocket springs with reinforced edges, wave and cooling memory foam layers, CertiPUR-US and OEKO-TEX certified materials, a 100-night trial and 10-year support. For a second king size option, the NIXNAP lists 9-zone pocket springs and CoolFeeling cooling memory foam; for a double with a stated 10-year warranty, the Vesgantti lists a 7-zone spring system and a 100-night trial.
This guide compares six mattresses from TeQsli, Vesgantti, NIXNAP, Bednew and BEDZONLINE on what each listing states: size and depth, springs and zones, comfort layers, certifications, trial and warranty. They cover two kings, three doubles and a single; stated depths run from 20cm on the BEDZONLINE to 28cm on the Bednew, with the NIXNAP listed as 10 Inch.
Buying guide
What should you look for in Mattresses Under £500?
1Size and depth: two kings (the TeQsli at 150x200x25cm and the NIXNAP at 5FT, 10 Inch), three doubles (the Vesgantti at 135x190x26cm, the TeQsli at 135x190x25cm and the BEDZONLINE at 190 x 135 x 20cm) and one single (the Bednew at 90x190x28cm).
2Springs and zones: the TeQsli king lists 7-zone independent pocket springs, the NIXNAP 9-zone pocket springs and the Vesgantti a 7-zone spring system and individual pocket springs; the TeQsli double has 7 Zone in its title and individually wrapped pocketed springs, and the Bednew lists individual pocket springs. The BEDZONLINE uses open coil springs, which its listing says add bounce for those who prefer a traditional mattress feel.
3Comfort layers: TeQsli lists wave memory foam and cooling memory foam on both its mattresses, NIXNAP CoolFeeling cooling memory foam, BEDZONLINE contouring memory foam and Bednew slow springback foam. The Vesgantti listing describes multiple layers of foam filling without naming the foam types.
4Certifications: five listings name CertiPUR-US and OEKO-TEX (the TeQsli king and double, the Vesgantti, the NIXNAP and the Bednew). The BEDZONLINE listing names no certification but says it is UK made, fire retardant and dust mite resistant.
5Trial and warranty: both TeQsli mattresses, the Vesgantti and the NIXNAP state a 100-night trial; the Bednew and BEDZONLINE listings mention no trial. Vesgantti states a 10-year warranty and TeQsli 10-year support on its king; the NIXNAP, TeQsli double, Bednew and BEDZONLINE listings state no warranty term.
Our process
How do we choose our picks?
We don’t lab-test products ourselves. Instead we synthesise current Amazon UK listings and published specs into clear, honest recommendations. We earn a commission if you buy through our links, but that never changes which products we rank.
Current UK availability
We check each pick against live Amazon UK catalogue data rather than last year’s model lists. Stock moves fast, so a listing can sell out after we publish.
Published specs
We compare manufacturer specifications so each pick is right for a real budget and use-case.
UK-specific fit
We factor in UK voltage and plug/fitting standards — details that generic global lists miss.

Editor's Note
All six listings describe their mattress as medium firm and none gives a firmness scale, so firmness does not separate them. Two listings state a term beyond the trial: Vesgantti a 10-year warranty and TeQsli 10-year support on its king. BEDZONLINE's is the one listing here that says fire retardant.
Our Take
As a default, the TeQsli 25cm King: 7-zone pocket springs, reinforced edges, CertiPUR-US and OEKO-TEX certified materials, a 100-night trial and 10-year support, per its listing. For a double, the Vesgantti states a 10-year warranty and a 7-zone spring system; for a single bed, the Bednew lists 90x190x28cm with CertiPUR-US and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification.
Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions
What king size mattresses are there under £500?
Two of the six here are kings. The TeQsli 25cm King (150x200x25cm) lists 7-zone independent pocket springs, wave and cooling memory foam and 10-year support; the NIXNAP King (5FT, 10 Inch) lists 9-zone pocket springs and CoolFeeling cooling memory foam. Both listings say medium firm and state a 100-night trial.
Which mattresses under £500 suit side sleepers?
TeQsli describes its 10 Inch double as ideal for side, back and stomach sleepers. Vesgantti says its pocket springs give support whether you sleep on your back, side or stomach, BEDZONLINE says it offers medium firmness for all sleep positions, and Bednew says its single is ideal for all types of sleepers. The two king listings, TeQsli and NIXNAP, do not mention sleeping positions.
What does 7-zone or 9-zone support mean on a mattress?
TeQsli says the 7-zone independent pocket springs in its king give targeted support to different parts of your body, and Vesgantti says each zone of its 7-zone spring system targets a different area: the head, shoulder, waist, hip, knee, leg and feet. NIXNAP lists 9-zone pocket springs, and the TeQsli double has 7 Zone in its title. None of these listings says how firmness changes from one zone to the next.
Do mattresses under £500 come with a sleep trial?
Four of the six listings state a 100-night trial: the TeQsli king and double, the Vesgantti and the NIXNAP. The Bednew and BEDZONLINE listings do not mention a trial.
What warranty do mattresses under £500 have?
Vesgantti states a 10-year warranty, and TeQsli offers 10-year support on its king. The NIXNAP, TeQsli double, Bednew and BEDZONLINE listings state no warranty term.
How long does a mattress in a box take to expand?
Four listings give 24–72 hours: the TeQsli king, the Vesgantti, the Bednew and the BEDZONLINE. The TeQsli double says to wait 72 hours and the NIXNAP at least 72 hours. Vesgantti adds that its mattress reaches 90% of its size in a few hours.
