Choose the Westwood Core Supportive Firm if…

  • You want to spend less: it's £2 cheaper at £107.
  • You want a firmer bed (firm), e.g. for back or front sleeping.

What we like

  • £107 for a double, now the cheapest mattress we list
  • Genuinely firm: a single high-density foam layer with no soft top to sink through
  • 10cm depth is what bunk beds, cabin beds and most caravan bunks actually need

What could be better

  • 10cm is not a main-bed depth for an adult, whatever the firmness
  • Comfort score of 7.4: there is no memory foam, so no pressure relief at the shoulder

Choose the Westwood Memory Foam if…

  • Comfort matters most: it scores 8.0 vs 7.4.
  • You want a softer bed (medium), e.g. as a side sleeper.

What we like

  • £109 for a double, the cheapest memory foam mattress we list
  • Value score of 9.3 – a proper two-layer build at throwaway money
  • Made to order in the UK, including non-standard sizes

What could be better

  • 18cm depth limits it to lighter sleepers and occasional use
  • No home trial – The Foam People do not offer one
