Medium tension is the volume seller across the UK mattress market and the default a retailer will reach for when a buyer doesn't have a strong preference. It contours enough at the shoulder and hip to suit side and combination sleepers, and stays flat enough not to compromise back sleepers in the average build range.

Firmness is subjective, so the BedBoy Score on each card weights customer review keywords, edge support and durability separately from the manufacturer's tension rating. Sort by score using the dropdown to surface the strongest-reviewed medium options, or use the brand filter to compare similar builds across manufacturers.
