Gel Mattresses

What is a gel mattress?

A gel mattress is designed with cooling gel elements to enhance comfort and support temperature regulation. These gel features are often infused into memory foam or added as a layer near the top of the mattress to improve support and reduce heat build-up. The most common type is a gel memory foam mattress, where the gel is blended into the foam for a cooler, more cushioned feel. Gel can also be combined with other mattress types, like latex or pocket spring, offering the perfect balance of pressure relief, temperature control, and responsive support.

What gel mattress firmness levels are available?

We offer gel mattresses in a range of firmness levels to suit every sleep style and support need. Choose from:

• Medium gel mattresses: Our softest gel mattresses are ideal for side sleepers. They gently cushion key pressure points like the hips and shoulders for a more comfortable, supported night’s sleep.
• Firm gel mattresses: Best suited to back sleepers due to their added support, which helps keep the spine aligned and prevents the lower back from dropping.
• Very firm gel mattresses: Offering the ideal support for stomach sleepers, helping to keep the hips lifted and the spine aligned, reducing strain on the lower back.
