Knowing whether to opt for a budget mattress or saving and investing in a more expensive mattress can be difficult. But right now, you can save 60% on the REM-Fit Hybrid Pocket 1000 mattress at REM-Fit, meaning you can get the top-rated bed for £699 (was £279.60).

Many of our top picks for this year’s best mattress guide for all sleepers are hybrid mattresses, featuring a combination of comfort foam and supportive coils like the REM-Fit Hybrid Pocket 1000 mattress. Because of this, the REM-Fit mattress excels in motion isolation, making it a great choice for couples.

While the Black Friday mattress deals are on the horizon, you’re unlikely to see a better discount on a top-rated mattress like this, meaning it’s the perfect time to buy. Here’s why I’d take advantage of this huge deal.

Saving: up to £569.40

Mattress summary: Like the best hybrid mattresses, this REM-Fit budget model has an open cell foam structure alongside 1000 independent pocket springs that adapt and respond to your body, no matter your sleeping position. Our professional mattress testers for the REM-Fit Hybrid Pocket 1000 mattress review found that despite REM-Fit rating it at a 7 out of 10 on the firmness level, it felt more like a 6 or 6.5, making it suitable for back, side and stomach sleepers. While they did find edge support was lacking, the mattress excelled in temperature regulation and motion isolation. The open hybrid structure allows for great airflow, while the independent springs prevent motion from transferring from one area of the bed to the other, resulting in a fantastic mattress for couples. With the current discount, you can get a double for £279.60 (was £699).

Benefits: Up to 200-night trial | Free fast delivery and returns | 15-year replacement guarantee

Price history: While we are used to seeing generous discounts from REM-Fit with a standard 50% off most of the year, this 60% off is one of the biggest deals we’ve seen. While Black Friday and other major events will bring big sales, it’s unlikely you’ll see a better price than the current one, with a super king size just £379.60 (was £949), so this is a deal well worth taking advantage of.

Do cheap mattresses last?

Sometimes, whether we don't have the budget or we're shopping for the guest room, a cheap mattress seems like the best option. While generally if you invest more into your mattress it will last longer, saving you money in the long-run, the best cheap mattresses can be extremely comfortable, durable, and supportive.

To make sure a budget mattress lasts, you need to know what to look for. Check the materials used are good quality and long-lasting and choose an entry-level mattress from a reputable and established brand. This will ensure your new bed was built to a high standard and you'll be covered by common perks like warranties and mattress sleep trials.
