Choose the Tencel 1000 if…
- You want to spend less: it's £60 cheaper at £339.
- 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
Choose the Luxe Velour Hybrid if…
- Support matters most: it scores 8.2 vs 7.8.
- 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
- 28cm hybrid with pocket springs and natural fillings for £399
- Balanced 8.2 support / 8.4 comfort – a true all-rounder
- Velour-soft cover gives a plush surface over a supportive spring core
What could be better
- Master of nothing – it carries no badge because it wins no category
- Motion isolation is only average for a mattress aimed at couples
