Verdict
Five thousand springs at a stated 7.5 out of 10, which is Rem-Fit's flagship and a genuinely competitive mattress. It sits in the most crowded price band in the UK, where Otty's Pure+ 4000 and Simba's Hybrid Pro both live, and it holds its own on specification.
Buy it if
You want a high spring count at medium firm, and you value Rem-Fit's unusually broad discount eligibility.
Avoid it if
You are a light side sleeper. Seven and a half out of ten with 5,000 springs is firm and responsive.

The most crowded price band in the UK
| Mattress | Springs | Firmness | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Otty Pure+ Hybrid 4000 | Up to 4,000 | 5 out of 10 | £599.99 |
| Rem-Fit 5000 Lux Elite | 5,000 | 7.5 out of 10 | £629.99 |

The Rem-Fit has the highest raw spring count of the four and is cheaper than both Simbas. What it does not have is Simba's retail presence, Otty's edge reinforcement, or a comparable review volume.
If you are choosing on specification per pound, this is a strong answer. If you want to lie on one first, only Simba offers that.
The discounts are unusually broad
Rem-Fit runs key worker, senior and student discounts plus an additional percentage on mattresses, and the eligibility is wider than most brands offer.
That matters more than it sounds in a band this competitive. If you qualify for a scheme here and not elsewhere, the effective price can move this from competitive to clearly the best value in the table above. Check before you assume the headline prices are the comparison.
A correction worth making
Commonly repeated, and wrong
Spring counts are compared across brands as though the numbers mean the same thing, and they rarely do. Rem-Fit's 5,000 and Simba's 4,800 are not equivalent: most of Simba's are 25mm Aerocoil micro-springs sitting in the comfort layers above a separate barrel spring base, while Rem-Fit's are a conventional pocket spring unit. Compare spring height and where in the mattress the springs sit, not the headline figure.
Should you buy it?
Yes, and it deserves more attention than it gets. Five thousand springs at 630 pounds is a serious specification and the discount schemes can push it further.
If you are a lighter side sleeper, the Otty Pure+ 4000 at 5 out of 10 is the better firmness for you. If you want a shop, Simba's Hybrid Pro.
