Choose the LuxeTherm Hybrid if…
- You want to spend less: it's £2 cheaper at £337.
- You want a firmer bed (medium), e.g. for back or front sleeping.
- You prefer a springy, more responsive feel that sleeps cooler than all-foam.
What we like
- Phase-change LTX foam actively absorbs heat rather than just wicking it
- Our Best for Hot Sleepers value pick, often around £337
- Ventilated pocket springs and a Tencel-and-bamboo cover attack heat from three directions
What could be better
- Support and comfort both score 8.0 – competent rather than outstanding
- Not the right choice if back pain, not heat, is your main problem
Choose the Tencel 1000 if…
- Comfort matters most: it scores 8.3 vs 8.0.
- You want a softer bed (soft), e.g. as a side sleeper.
- You prefer a traditional bouncy feel with good airflow.
What we like
- Tencel cover is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking
- Softer sprung mattress – a rare combination that suits lighter side sleepers
- 1000 pocket springs give edge support and airflow foam cannot match
What could be better
- Support score of 7.8 – too soft for back pain or heavier sleepers
- Soft comfort foam over springs is a harder combination to get right
