Rank #5 in Best King Size Mattress 2026: 10 Ranked, Four Spec Sheets That Contradict Themselves
Mellsom Hybrid King Mattress, 25cm, 7-Zone, 660 Springs
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Mellsom MS02 is the king-size mattress sitting at number 5 in this guide. It is a hybrid — memory foam over individually wrapped pocket springs — described on the listing as medium firm and built on a 7-zone design, with 660 coils and a 25cm thickness. It costs £127.49 and carries a 4.8 out of 5 rating from 101 ratings.
What stands out in this fiche is what the listing does with its own measurements. The product text says "every Mellsom king size mattress 150x190cm"; the size field on the same page says "King (150x200x25cm)". That is a 10cm gap between two figures a buyer would use to check the thing fits a frame. The rating breakdown carries a smaller wrinkle of its own: 89 five-star, 7 four-star and 4 one-star bars add up to 100, one short of the 101 ratings shown above them. Every figure on this page comes from the Amazon listing rather than from any testing of ours.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Delivered in good time. I bought this mattress for my spare room, and I had my sister coming to stay. She has a health condition whereby she has difficulty sleeping. She advised me the mattress was very comfortable and one night she actually managed to sleep the whole night (which rarely happens). When she left I thought I would try the mattress out and sleep in that bed. The mattress is medium firm, very comfortable, the right thickness and no sagging. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this mattress and was also good value for money.”
Verified purchase“I was very sceptical about buying a mattress online but I bought this for my spare room. I've had 3 people stay & have said it's so comfortable or the best mattress they've ever slept on. So I decided to try it out myself & it is! It's the most comfortable I've ever slept on! Compared to my mattress which cost 8 times as much this is better! Buy it you won't be disappointed I promise you! Goldilocks would definitely approve! 10/10”
