Boxing Day mattress sales 2024: the best deals for all sleep needs and budgets

1. Nectar Memory Foam Mattress: from £331.55 in-cart at Nectar
This is one of the best memory foam mattresses we've tested and it's always on sale – but now it's available for even less during Boxing Day. An extra 5% discount applies in-cart, which brings the price of a double Nectar Mattress to £474.05 (was £499). We recommend the Nectar because it suits all sleeping styles, doesn't retain heat (a drawback with most other all-foam mattresses) and contours the body to relieve pressure points for less aches and pains. Nectar gives you a year to trial it at home to make sure it's right for you, plus you'll get a forever warranty and free and fast shipping.

2. Emma Essential Mattress: from £189 £141.75 at Emma
This is the cheapest hybrid mattress in the Emma Boxing Day sale, and because it stands at 7 inches tall we'd recommend it to people shopping for medium-firm kids beds, and to people looking for a budget-friendly way to upgrade a guest room bed. The best mattresses in a box we've tested are a minimum of 10" tall so the Emma Essential is much thinner and therefore won't offer the comfort and support you'd need if you weigh over 150lbs. If you want a hybrid that supports heavier bodies look at the DreamCloud Hybrid below. Emma offers a 200-night trial on the Essential so you'll have plenty of time to make sure it suits your body and sleep style.

3. DreamCloud Mattress: from £356.25 in-cart at DreamCloud
The Nectar above is ideal for people who want a more contouring mattress that gently hugs their curves. But if you want a firmer mattress that sleeps cooler and offers lots of lower back support (more than the Nectar), then the DreamCloud Hybrid is worth considering – especially with an extra 5% off in-cart. That brings the cost of a double to £498.75. It's a great hotel-style mattress without the luxury price tag, but it does take longer to break in than some other hybrids we've tested. After a couple of weeks sleeping on it though this is one of the best hybrid mattresses we've reviewed and an ideal choice for couples who don't know what type of bed they like.

4. Brook + Wilde Elite Mattress: from £800 £536 at Brook + Wilde
The Brook + Wilde Elite is a premium hybrid mattress that offers exceptional pressure relief with its 8-layer design and choice of firmness options. Ideal for side and back sleepers and those seeking luxury comfort although stomach sleepers may find it too plush. If you’re looking for a slightly firmer feel at a similar price point then the Simba Hybrid Pro is a good alternative but the Brook + Wilde Boxing Day sales mean you get 33% off all mattresses, this brings the cost of a double size Elite down to just £603 (was £900) plus you get a 200-night sleep trial, 10-year warranty and free premium delivery. 

5. Origin Hybrid Mattress: From £594 £309 at Origin
The Origin Hybrid mattress offers exceptional value bringing together premium memory foam with pocket springs. It’s perfect for back and combination sleepers seeking medium-firm support, although strict side sleepers may want something softer like the Emma Original. The mattress also excels in temperature regulation and motion isolation.  Origin has an epic Boxing Sale deal on this mattress with one of the lowest prices we’ve seen all year, right now there’s up to 45% off, so a double is down to £379 (was £729) plus it comes with a 200-night sleep trial, 15-year warranty and free delivery. 

6. Emma NextGen Premium Mattress: from £449 £314.30 at Emma
The Emma NextGen Premium is a luxurious hybrid mattress that combines premium foam layers with innovative spring technology to offer exceptional pressure relief and temperature regulation. This mattress is ideal for side and combination sleepers who are seeking plush comfort, although it will be too soft for strict stomach sleepers or those preferring a firmer feel. Sleepers who are looking for a firmer feel should consider the Simba Hybrid Pro which also has enhanced lumbar support. Emma has slashed their prices this Boxing Day with up to 40% off site wide which is more than we saw in the recent Black Friday sales.  This brings the cost of a double NextGen Premium to £461.30 (was £659) and you also get a 200-night sleep trial, 10-year warranty and free shipping.

1. doSleeps 9-zone Pocket Sprung Mattress: from £99 £79.99 at Amazon
This medium-feel mattress uses memory foam and zoned pocketed springs which is ideally suited to side and back sleepers who want contouring pressure relief whilst still having plenty of spine-aligning support, although stomach sleepers may find it too soft. The 3D fabric used in the cover also does a good job of regulating temperature. Right now the cheapest place to buy this mattress is Amazon where you can save 17% on a double bringing the cost down to just £119.99 which is incredible value for such a well-made mattress and you also get some great perks including a 100-night sleep trial, 10-year warranty and free shipping.

Whilst this sales price isn't as high as other mattresses in the Emma range, it's one of the cheapest hybrids on the market making it worth every penny.
