How do I choose a mattress?
In short
Pick a build type first (pocket, hybrid, foam, latex or open coil), then match spring tension or foam support to body mass, then tune surface feel to sleep position. Confirm UK size in centimetres and check the base meets the mattress warranty. Soft/medium/firm labels are not standardised.
