Please tell me the best mattress you have ever slept on! We need a new one, our current is way too firm and very uncomfortable!
We have never gotten over this one bed we slept in years ago in a hotel that felt like sleeping on a fluffy cloud! So please tell me your recommendations ! Thanks 🤩

Millbrook. Made in Britain. Cost a fortune. Best sleep ever!

Premier Inn mattresses are fabulous and you can actually buy them . Just google premier inn mattress. Very reasonable prices too.

I recently bought one and I love it. I do prefer a firm mattress so it suits me perfectly.

Vispring.
Will never use another brand.

It was more like £3500 when we bought ours. Yes, expensive, but I stand by my comment about it being the best money I've ever spent. Our family were agog at how much we spent, but I don't care. It's so comfortable. DH had neck and back problems all the time that kept him off work quite a lot and since we've got the bed he has stopped having problems. So it's actually saved us money in that respect. When we bought it four and a bit years ago we were both earning less than £25k so wasn't a case of us being high earners, it was just something that we felt was worth the money so we scrimped on other bits of furniture. I love my bed

I totally get why it’s worth it. Since we bought out last mattress four years ago I’ve had constant back problems. It’s caused a lot of misery. A good mattress is well worth it .

@AmazingGraced this thread is from last year but Yanis options are here

Check online reviews though!

I've an organic latex mattress from Yannis. It's wrapped in wool and covered in breathable cotton. Cost a fortune, but 15 years later is still going strong. It's really comfy, anti dustmite, bed bug, bacterial, hypoallergenic, everything. Barring accidents, I expect it to last another 15.

I can't find YANNIS online. Could you post a link please?

alsohappenedoverhere · 18/06/2025 18:42

Vispring. Ours is 10 years old and like new. I find any other bed so uncomfortable though.

Blessthismess2 · 17/06/2025 21:34

Placemarking for tips!!

madamegazelle1 · 17/06/2025 21:15

IKEA Hovag- they have renamed it now. Worst one was Hypnos

Flossflower · 17/06/2025 20:24

Last year we bought John Lewis own make mattresses and beds for the spare room which is usually slept in by the grandchildren. When they came they were Harrison Spinks.
We have always had ViSpring and are very happy with it.

That’s interesting. Can I ask when you bought it? We’re on our second Hypnos (had the first for 20 years - ooops! Did buy a topper latterly). We’ve had current one 7 years now and love it - not the Premiere Inn one. I find memory foam comfortable, but too hot.

We slept on another really comfortable mattress in a hotel a few years ago. It was so good that I stripped the bed to find out what it was - IKEA! I made a note of the model and then lost it!

  1. So quite recently!

We hate our Hypnos. What they don’t tell you until you’re spent £3k on a mattress is that their mattresses quickly (<6 months) develop people shaped divots and a large uncomfortable hump in the centre, and this is not a warranty issue.

Their Trustpilot is full of the same complaint.

The bed looks terrible when made due to the unevenness and it’s only marginally better to sleep on.

It was a gel mattress. I can't remember the make. We gave it to my daughter when we changed to a king size and although we have an excellent mattress now nothing has been as good as the gel mattress.

Blueuggboots · 17/06/2025 17:18

We’ve got a water bed. Best thing EVER.

user1469629176 · 17/06/2025 17:14

We need a new mattress too - our current silentnight ‘natural’ 2800 pocket spring one is way too firm and causing back pain for both of us. Currently considering John Lewis natural collection mattresses and the Loaf ones

Laralee · 17/06/2025 16:03

Vi Spring. Expensive but lasts decades!

IAmNeverThePerson · 17/06/2025 16:00

Reylon.

OlympiaOzempic · 17/06/2025 14:56

We had an Emma, it sagged really badly. Had to jump through hoops to get them to collect it and had to wait weeks for a refund as it was still under guarentee. Their customer service is appalling look on trust pilot and there's also a Facebook group dedicated to complaints and people trying to get their money back. Don't do it.

APurpleSquirrel · 17/06/2025 14:27

Our new Premier Inn mattress by Silent Night has arrived & seems very comfy. Will report back tomorrow after the first night.

NotSmallButFunSize · 16/06/2025 19:59

Ours is Ikea.
Was just under £300 for a king size and is lovely! I can't remember the name but it's a medium to firm i think.

Go in and have a roll about on them all no one cares or pesters😃

Valevag?

We have this one - I love it!

We went away over half term & stayed in 5 different places, so 5 different mattresses. The best was the Premier Inn one, followed by the Hilton one.
Our current mattress is over 12 years old (& has been through two pregnancies!) so we’ve decided to treat ourselves to the Premier Inn one. It arrives tomorrow - really hoping it’s nice!!
