Aspire Essentials Memory Foam Mattress

Firmness: MediumA 20cm firm UK-made foam mattress with cool blue memory foam and a zipped, machine-washable cover, for back and front sleepers.
The Starlight Beds Harmony is a 20cm firm all-foam mattress made in the UK, topped with cool blue memory foam and finished in a zipped cover that comes off for the washing machine. A 4ft6 double costs £246.99 direct from Starlight Beds.
Starlight’s product page describes three foams, and its layer diagram gives their depths. The base is eco foam made from offcuts of Starlight’s own production, which the company says would otherwise have gone to landfill.
| Layer, top to bottom | Depth | What Starlight says it does |
|---|---|---|
| Zipped cover | n/a | Removable and machine washable |
| Cool blue memory foam | 25mm | Helps dissipate body heat |
| Orthopaedic reflex foam | 25mm | Responsive support that resists sagging |
| Eco foam base | 150mm | Support, made from recycled offcuts |
Starlight says that removing and washing the cover regularly helps reduce the build-up of dust mites and allergens, which is the honest way to put it: a cover you can wash is a cleaning aid, not an allergy cure. The NHS advice on allergic rhinitis recommends synthetic bedding and covers washed at 60C or above for people with a dust mite allergy. The Harmony is fully synthetic, but Starlight does not print a cover washing temperature, so check the care label first.
Starlight sells it as firm, and with 25mm of memory foam over firm reflex foam it gives back and front sleepers an even, flat support. Lighter side sleepers may find too little give at the shoulder. The cool blue memory foam is Starlight’s answer to the warm feel of foam mattresses; it is the maker’s claim, and foam still sleeps warmer than an open spring unit.
These were Starlight’s prices on 14 October 2026. A super king is listed on the same page but was sold out that day.

“The Harmony is a sensible buy for a back or front sleeper who wants a firm, fully synthetic mattress with a cover that goes in the washing machine. Side sleepers and anyone who wants the security of a stated guarantee should look elsewhere.”Go to shop →
