While January may seem like a looming cloud hanging over the festive season, there is a silver lining. The stress of Christmas is behind us and all that’s left to do is catch up on TV, tuck into leftovers and, of course, snap up some stellar discounts thanks to the annual January sales. And if you’ve been sleeping on an uncomfortable mattress for too long, you’ve come to the right place, as I’ve handpicked the best mattress deals from the likes of Simba, Nectar, Tempur and more.
Mattresses are essential purchases but often come with a hefty price tag and do require a little research to figure out which one will suit your sleep needs. Whether you’re after a hybrid, pocket-sprung or memory foam model, I’ve got you covered. As The Independent’s resident sleep expert (I’ve tried and tested all the best mattresses), I’m making it my mission to filter through the sales to bring you the very best offers on all sizes and types of mattresses this January.

Another one that has earned a spot in my best mattress review, I loved the design’s edge-to-edge support, temperature-regulating sleep surface and micro-quilted surface. A nifty feature is the top layer that can be unzipped and rotated, which is a lot easier than turning the entire thing. When testing, I found that it offered medium to firm support and was impressed with the zoned system, which helps to evenly distribute weight across the mattress. If you sleep on your side, this is a great option as it avoids putting too much pressure on your hips and shoulders.

You can currently save 40 per cent on Eve Sleep’s premium hybrid mattress thanks to this end-of-year saving. A fusion of spring, foam and over 1,400 full-sized pocket springs, it’s got mattress expert Ali’s seal of approval. When testing this mattress, she said: “On this, we had the best night’s sleep in years. This is thanks to the hybrid premium’s clever fusion of full-size springs and layer upon layer of innovative foam. The mattress boasts memory foam that isolates movement, meaning there’s no motion transfer if you sleep next to a night fidget – but then again, the night fidgeting seems to have ceased anyway, and we’re getting a great night’s sleep all round.”

Ideal if you’re in the market for a mattress-in-a-box, it comes tightly rolled and vacuum-packed for convenient and hassle-free delivery. There’s more to this model than pure ease, though. I found that it offers “a lot of bang for your buck”, with a firm and supportive design that doesn’t compromise on comfort. “As someone with occasional back and neck aches, the build gave us the support we needed, while the design’s three ‘body zones’ reduced disturbance when sharing a bed.” Tick, tick, tick.
