Rank #6 in Best Mattress 2026: Twelve Layers, and No Firmness
Amazon Basics Hybrid Pocket Spring Mattress, King, BS7177, 22cm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Amazon Basics hybrid mattress costs £139.99 and is rated 4.2 stars from 124 ratings, with pocket springs, pressure relief foam and a 22 centimetre depth.
It takes sixth because it is the only mattress here that names the UK fire standard it is tested to — BS7177 — and because the same page instructs its owner to hand wash a 29 kilogram king size mattress.
How those 124 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.2 stars.
