Simba hybrid pro mattress, king: Was £1,329, now £996.75, Simbasleep.com

With this model securing a spot in our round-up of the best mattresses, our tester said they were “thoroughly impressed” with Simba’s hybrid design. Right now, you can save hundreds of pounds on the top-rated design. “A layer of memory foam moulds to your body, gently cradling you, while a layer of springs gives more considered support, which saw us wake without any aches or pains,” our tester said.

An ideal choice year-round, there’s a layer of wool under the surface of the mattress, which has natural temperature-regulating and hypoallergenic properties, meaning our tester didn’t overheat. They added that, with its seven-layer design, it’s one of the more luxurious mattresses you can buy – meaning you don’t want to miss out while it’s on offer.

Praising the cooling technology and six-layer design, they said: “The top three layers of foam create a supportive base for your body, allowing the mattress to mould to your shape for optimum comfort.” They also loved the hybrid design, which helped relieve their pressure points in just two weeks.

Strips are cut out of the “harder foam to allow more give around the hips and shoulders, so you don’t get pressure pains when you sleep on it”, our writer said, noting it’s ideal for all types of sleepers. Coming in at less than £600, this is a great, relatively cheap choice.

Emma original mattress, double: Was £499, now £399.20, Emma-sleep.co.uk

If you can’t seem to get on with the pocket-sprung variety, consider Emma’s memory foam mattress, which secured a spot in our round-up of the best mattresses. Designed to support your entire body and keep your spine evenly aligned for maximum relief and rest, the model is now reduced by 20 per cent. “The mattress helped relieve pressure on high-impact areas such as our hips and shoulders, and we also really appreciated the foam’s low transference of motion, which meant our sleep was far less disturbed by our fidgety partner,” our tester said.

With a saving of 20 per cent, now’s the time to snap up this premier mattress from Nectar. Eight layers deep, the model combines excellent support with precision engineering that allows the mattress to adjust to all body shapes. While we haven’t reviewed this exact design, a similar memory foam mattress from the brand is an IndyBest favourite, having been rated four out of five stars by our tester. In their in-depth review, our tester said: “Regardless of what type of sleeper you are, you should find the Nectar memory foam mattress both comfy and supportive.”

It comes with a pocket-sprung system and eight layers of traceable British wool that regulate body temperature – it’s enough to make you look forward to bed time.

Casper hybrid mattress, single: Was £625, now £500, Mattressonline.co.uk

In our previous guide to the best mattresses, our writer described this one as “combining the brand’s legendary foams with a base layer of springs, you get instant sumptuousness, from the moulding of the four foam layers around your body, coupled with added bounce and airflow, thanks to the pocket coil springs.”

The writer was impressed before she’d even got it out of its vacuum pack: “How can those springs be so compressible? Nearly five years of research, is the answer from Casper. But that was nothing compared with our excitement over the immediate comfort.” With £125 off and such a rave review, this really is a no-brainer.

Simba hybrid mattress, double: Was £819, now £614.25, Simbasleep.com

This one came out top in our Emma vs Simba hybrid mattress review, thanks to being the perfect match for “front or side sleepers (which, let’s face it, make up the majority of sleepers).” Its temperature regulation also got a special mention, with our writer noting that, even in summer, “you’ll find this keeps sweat at bay, thanks to pretty much every layer having been designed to promote airflow and cooling – something you won’t find in mattresses made purely of foam.” You can also read our full review of the Simba hybrid mattress.
