What are the best mattresses under £500 to buy in the UK?
Our top pick for Mattresses Under £500 in the UK is the Vesgantti Hybrid Double Mattress, Medium Firm, 135x190x26cm.
The Vesgantti Hybrid Double suits buyers who want a 135x190x26cm medium firm double with a 7-zone spring system, individual pocket springs, reinforced edges, CertiPUR-US & OEKO-TEX certified materials and a 10-year warranty on the listing.
For a 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 four mattresses from TeQsli, Vesgantti, NIXNAP and BEDZONLINE on what each listing states: size and depth, springs and zones, comfort layers, certifications, trial and warranty.
Buying guide
What should you look for in Mattresses Under £500?
1Size and depth: one king (the NIXNAP at 5FT, 10 Inch) and three doubles (the Vesgantti at 135x190x26cm, the TeQsli at 135x190x25cm and the BEDZONLINE at 190 x 135 x 20cm).
2Springs and zones: the NIXNAP lists 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. 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, NIXNAP CoolFeeling cooling memory foam and BEDZONLINE contouring memory foam. The Vesgantti listing describes multiple layers of foam filling without naming the foam types.
4Certifications: three listings name CertiPUR-US and OEKO-TEX (the TeQsli double, the Vesgantti and the NIXNAP). The BEDZONLINE listing names no certification but says it is UK made, fire retardant and dust mite resistant.
5Trial and warranty: the TeQsli double, the Vesgantti and the NIXNAP state a 100-night trial; the BEDZONLINE listing mentions no trial. Vesgantti states a 10-year warranty; the NIXNAP, TeQsli double 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 four listings describe their mattress as medium firm and none gives a firmness scale, so firmness does not separate them. BEDZONLINE's is the one listing here that says fire retardant.
Our Take
For a double, the Vesgantti states a 10-year warranty and a 7-zone spring system.
