Alternatively, they can be delivered to your home and easily taken to the room you need — without having to try to wrestle a large mattress up your stairs or around tight corners. However, they sometimes need to be aired or left for a fair few hours to regain shape, which might be a faff if you need to use it quickly.
As mattresses serve a single basic function — to help us sleep — they don't come overloaded with jazzy features. But there are still a few things to look out for. As the name suggests, only one side of a one-sided mattress is designed to be slept on. Mattresses can be extremely heavy — the heaviest we've seen weighs more than 50kg — so you might be relieved that you don't need to flip it.

He's a side sleeper, and though he was never blown away by the mattress's comfort, he slept fine from start to finish.
He didn't think he would since the mattress is on the soft side. It has three layers of foam and a thin top layer that's made from recycled materials. There is a hybrid Purple, but it's pricey.
