Having trouble deciding which mattress to buy? You’ll be in safe hands if you go with a Silentnight mattress. For the past 70 years, Silentnight has been one of the UK’s leading manufacturers, renowned for their innovation in their mattress designs and providing superior comfort. Whether you fancy an eco mattress to benefit the planet, or one of Silentnight’s innovative miracoil spring mattresses for outstanding support, you’ll find a mattress from Silentnight that suits your sleep needs.
With the help of leading orthopaedic specialists, Sealy developed their best-selling orthopaedic mattress collection - a must if you need extra support and care for your back. Alternatively, if you have difficulty sleeping during the summer, a coolgel mattress from Sealy may be a good option, as may a hypoallergenic mattress if you suffer from allergies. Regardless of what sleeper you are, you’ll be able to find a Sealy mattress that provides a great night’s sleep.
Our Sleepeezee mattress collection offers great value for money. Their mattresses are technologically advanced with the use of high-quality materials to give you that well-deserved rest at night. Choose from a variety of options, including pocket sprung, pocket gel, orthopaedic and hybrid mattresses.
Are you looking for a mattress with that extra touch of luxury? Look no further than our Hypnos mattress range. Approved by her majesty, the Queen, long-term Royal Warrant holders are notorious for providing mattresses with remarkable quality. Using a mixture of modern manufacturing techniques and traditional craftsmanship, you’ll be guaranteed to have sleep with great comfort and support.
If you looking for a memory foam mattress, then you will love our SleepSoul mattress collection. Our extensive range has something for everyone, offering a number of formulas for the best night’s sleep. As all mattresses are rolled up, you can easily carry them into your bedroom, hassle-free.
With a pocket sprung mattress, each spring is enclosed in its own cloth sleeve. This makes the mattress responsive to motion during sleep. As a result, these designs are usually available in a medium to firm firmness, promoting good posture for a night of sleep with unbeatable comfort.
Wanting to feel snuggly in your new mattress? Then memory foam mattresses are for you. The foam in these mattresses make you feel as if you are sinking into your sleep, by contouring to your body’s shape. If you suffer with back pain, then these models give you a good level of support that cushions the joints.
Also referred to as a ‘combination mattress', hybrid mattresses combine both foam and pocket spring layers, giving you excellent back support and comfort.
A good mattress for side sleepers is one that provides lots of cushioning and helps keep your hips and shoulders in alignment while you sleep. A gel mattress may also be a good choice if you're looking for a cooler sleeping surface, but you can't go wrong with a medium or soft mattress, either.
When you sleep on your back, it is important that you have a higher level of support to ensure your spine is correctly aligned. If this is the case, then we recommend a pocket sprung mattress. Additionally, some people prefer to choose an orthopaedic mattress if they want extra back care. When choosing the firmness of a mattress, we advocate a medium-firm or firm mattress for those who sleep on their backs.
Front sleepers will need more cushioning than back sleepers, but less than a side sleeper would need. Hybrid mattresses with pocket springs are the most comfortable for people who sleep on their front. In addition, we recommend a mattress that has a medium or medium-firm firmness.

Choosing the right size mattress will very much depend on the space available in your home and whether you sleep alone or with a partner. For youngsters, a single mattress is generally the best. Its length is sufficient for most children. As the child grows, you might consider investing in a small double. While they’re narrower than traditional doubles, they are just as long. These can also be good for adults who don’t have enough room for a standard double bed. Double mattresses are good for couples and those who need extra room. However, if you’re both space-hoggers, then a king-size mattress will give you both plenty of room to relax. Super king-size beds are the final word in mattress space, giving all the room you need, plus a bit more. Check out our range of mattresses to find the one that suits your needs.
The standard bed and mattress sizes in the UK are:
Getting a good night’s sleep is essential for staying healthy and happy, but the wrong mattress will lead to aching muscles and sleepless nights. Therefore, knowing what mattress to buy and the factors which go into choosing the right one will help ensure you're on the right track. Factors to consider include:
Mattresses tend to vary in price, mainly depending on how they’re made and what they’re made from. Cheaper mattresses might seem like a bit of a bargain, but they won’t necessarily help you get a good night’s sleep and in the long-term, can cause more problems than solve. To help you set your budget, we’ll look at the average cost of single and double mattresses, according to their main materials.
It's recommended that you change your mattress every six to eight years. However, there are no hard or fast rules; when and how often you change your mattress will come down to a few factors, including:
The more a mattress is used, the greater the potential for things like dust, sweat, allergens, and dust mites to affect your sleeping surface. However, cleaning your mattress as little as once every six months can have a hugely beneficial effect on its condition. While there are specific mattress-cleaning products available, the simplest and most cost-effective method is to strip the mattress, sprinkle it with bicarbonate of soda and let it dry, before vacuuming it off. The bicarbonate will collect residual moisture and dust, leaving your mattress fresh, and clean, and creating an inhospitable environment for dust mites.
