Relyon Mattresses

Why choose Relyon?

Relyon has more than 150 years’ experience in bed making, and throughout that time the company’s focus has been making sure that you, their customer, can rely on them for a good night’s sleep. When Relyon began trading as Pride Brothers and Company their philosophy was “your comfort is our paramount priority” – something which didn’t change when in 1935 they became Relyon.

What makes Relyon beds unique?

In 1858, the Price family of wool merchants founded their company – Price Brothers and Co. – in the Somerset town of Wellington. Rapidly, they realised that the skills the natural materials they worked with every day would be ideal for bed making. Now, as then, the company’s expert craftsmen hand make every bed, investing time and craftsmanship and upholding Relyon reputation for excellence.

Relyon – the name the Price family adopted for the company in 1935 – are rightly famous for their sumptuous mattresses which set a new standard in comfort, the quality standard is maintained throughout their range. From divans to bedsteads, and from headboards, to metalwork; meticulous attention to detail at every stage combines with an insistence on using only the very finest materials to ensure that the reputation for excellence is maintained.

Why are Relyon mattresses a step apart?

If you are ever lucky enough to see inside a Relyon mattress, you will quickly realise that they are a step apart from any other mattress on the market. Incorporating layer upon layer of rich natural fibres the Relyon design creates a mattress both luxurious and supporting enough to ensure that every night’s sleep is a great night’s sleep.

Specially chosen and expertly blended to cater for the needs of every individual, Relyon uses a range of different fillings, of only the highest quality, as well as a variety of spring counts and combinations of materials to create mattresses of every possible firmness and feel. This attention to detail means that Relyon are sure to have the right mattress for you - no matter your size, weight, height, or body shape – meaning you too can benefit from the unsurpassed levels of support and comfort on offer.

What about the bed itself?

Just as with their mattresses, Relyon go the extra mile to ensure that all their bed frames, headboards, divans, and accessories meet their stringent standards. The attention to detail of the design choices, as well as the outstanding quality of the materials and finishes, combined with expert craftsmanship to set the Relyon range apart.

All Relyon beds are specifically designed to be as easy as possible to assemble at home, with the minimum of effort, and no fuss. Every bedstead comes with sprung slats to add comfort and provide support, prolonging the life of your mattress.

Can I buy a bed direct from Relyon?

Not at this time. However, while we do not supply customers directly, we do work with a number of quality retailers across the UK including mattressnextday who can provide free 24-hour delivery on all our products. 

Is a firm mattress always better for a bad back?

No, this is not always the case. If you suffer from back pain you should consult medical advice about which type of bed is best for you. Back Care, the national organisation for healthy backs, have published a leaflet which provides more information about properly supporting your back. You can download the leaflet from backcare.org.uk

For more information, please read our mattress firmness guide.

How do I know which is the best mattress for me?

When selecting a new bed you need to ensure that the one you choose feels right for both you and your partner. Try as many different mattresses as possible and make sure they support your body properly in every position. While lying on your back you should be able to feel gentle pressure on your pelvis and lower spine. When lying on your side your shoulders and hips will need to be well supported with only gentle pressure on your waist. In all positions make sure there is no excessive curvature of the spine. Once you have found a bed that does these things, you have found a bed that will support your back properly, preventing back pain in later life and allowing you to get a good night's sleep. 

I have seen a Relyon bed in a store but I can’t find it on your website. Why is this?

We design and manufacture beds for many well-known high street retailers. We do not feature these products on our website because they are only available from these specific outlets. But you can be assured that every one of our beds is hand-built in the UK using the same high-quality materials and comes with an 8-year guarantee. 

Should I replace my divan along with my mattress even though it looks in good condition?

It is recommended that you change the divan along with your mattress every 7-10 years. During this time the springs in your divan will have weakened significantly, preventing it from supporting your new mattress properly. This can cause excess wear, significantly shortening its life, and may even affect the warranty. So when buying a new bed you should follow National Bed Federation advice and always replace your mattress and divan at the same time. 

I have a slatted bed base, can I still use a Relyon mattress?

Yes, our Bedstead Collection is specifically designed to withstand the extra strain placed on the mattress by the gaps between the slats. Some of our other collections are also suitable for bedsteads. Your local authorised Relyon retailer will be able to provide you with advice on which is the most suitable. 

Note: Please ensure that the gap between the slats is no more than 6cm. A gap bigger than this may shorten the life of your new mattress, compromise the quality of your sleep and affect your warranty. 

I recently bought a Relyon mattress but it has developed a depression where I sleep. Is this a fault and can it be rectified? 

All quality pocket sprung mattresses settle over a period of time. This natural settlement is the result of the upholstery fillings bedding down and is nothing to worry about. To ensure the fillings settle evenly you will need to turn the mattress regularly. The turning procedure is unique for each range and is explained in the care leaflet supplied with your mattress. 

Can you help me find bedding for one of your oversized mattresses?

Yes, we can provide a range of bedding and accessories for all of our mattresses in both European and American sizes. Please contact our contract team on 0800 5677625 for more information. 

I live outside the UK, can I still purchase a bed from you?

Unfortunately, we can only supply customers based within the UK at this time. However, while we do not offer an export service, one of our retailers may be able to arrange export for you. 

Can you make a non-standard sized mattress for me?

Yes, we manufacture a wide range of quality handmade mattresses in a number of different sizes. But if you require a unique size which is not part of our range please get in touch with our contracts team on 0800 5677625 for more information about size options and prices. 

Is it possible to have two sides of the mattress with different firmness?

Absolutely, we can manufacture mattresses with different tensions using our zip and link divan sets. These can also be separated into two beds if necessary and are a popular choice for hotels and guesthouses. 

I recently bought a bed/mattress but I have a question about it. Who can I contact?

You can contact your local retailer or send us a message via our Facebook page. We are always happy to answer questions or queries about any of our products.

I suffer from dust mite allergy, do you make a mattress for me?

Yes, we manufacture a range of products which use hypo-allergenic fillings such as memory foam and/or white fibre. Dust mites cannot survive in these fillings so they are perfect for customers who suffer from dust mite related allergies. 

Why should I choose a Relyon bed over other manufacturers?

When buying a new bed, it is what you don’t see that makes the difference. Each of our beds is hand-built at our factory in Wellington Somerset by one of our experienced craftsmen. Our purchasing team also take care to hand select only the finest quality materials from around the world, including pure wool, cashmere, mohair and silk. These are then expertly combined to create an ultra-luxurious, comfortable and supportive bed which not only looks great but provides you with a night of uninterrupted and peaceful sleep. 

Our divans are also constructed to the same high standards. Most of our bed frames are glued and screwed together and we only use hardwood for the load bearing corner blocks which house the castors to provide increased strength and durability. We also construct the divan edges using the traditional cane method which is both more aesthetic and durable than the wire edging used by most other manufacturers. Finally, we take great care to hand stitch the edges of the mattress to ensure an exceptional fit and finish, which even the most discerning customers will appreciate. 

Each of our mattresses and divans has also been independently tested to ensure they provide adequate support and durability throughout their lifetime. After considering this there really is only one choice to make. Which of our stunningly luxurious and comfortable mattresses will you choose?
