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 🤩

Tempur Cloud! It’s the softest one they make and you sink into and it’s like a literal cloud, paired with the matching pillows best £1600 we EVER spent!

(They do the Flaxby range at Dreams).

I really like natural fibres. They regumate body temperatures pretty well.

Would never have a memory foam type. My parents had one and it created mould under their bed.

Emma

Mine has sagged significantly despite buying less than 2 years ago (I'm not big by any stretch and rotate it regularly). This has happened to several friends too

Before getting an Emma I'd recommend checking the recent Trust Pilot reviews (terrible customer service if you have problems, I can attest to this).

I ended up in hospital thanks to an emma mattress
Got in touch with customer services,jumped through their 20,000 hoops and then they ghosted me
Tried to get in touch endlessly but they where useless and kept fobbing me off
I'd never recommend them-theh are shite

BarbieKew · 18/02/2025 22:00

We need one, just looked at the Emma website and am confused - do they only have 4 to choose from?

We bought an Emma mattress recently and it is lovely. However, the delivery was delayed 3 times and their communication is terrible, we kept the order because we wanted the mattress and as we'd ordered on a credit card we felt we could run the risk of it not turning up.

The mattress is genuinely really comfy and we got a good deal but we nearly lost the will with the customer service!

I love our Hypnos mattress.

It came with 2 x free pillows which are normally £85 allegedly.
Outrageous, I thought.

OMG. So comfortable and they stopped my husband snoring! Twenty plus years I'd been elbowing him in the ribs and it almost all stopped. Oh happy day.

An iGel one from Bensons. It's blissfully comfortable, and an added (unexpected) bonus is that my awful night sweats are mostly a distant memory. Apparently, iGel is the new memory foam. I didn't hold much store by the promises of body temperature regulation, but honestly, it's been a sleep changer for me. We really did buy it as we loved the comfort/feel of it when we tried it. We've had it nearly a year and it's sooo comfortable, you can't feel your other half moving around either, which is always a bonus when you toss and turn as much as I do!

This is ours:

I have the Hypnos premier inn mattress (2019 version) and tbh no matter where I am on holiday, I long for my mattress, it’s the best I have ever slept.

Hankunamatata · 18/02/2025 21:53

I made mistake of getting foam one i hated luckily shop did free return and swap. So like a looney I spent a good 2 hours lying on 4 different mattresses before choosing. Probably go emma same as kids this time round

Loaf top dog.

I can't cope with memory foam, makes me sweat like mad (TMI).

Another vote for Loaf top dog. We are on our second Loaf mattress having tried an Emma in between and getting rid due to the horrendous sweating!!!

I've a Reylon. Not the cheapest, but really well made and last for years.

MrsJoanDanvers · 18/02/2025 21:47

Another vote for John Ryan artisan mattress. They sometimes have clearance ones.

Drylogsonly · 18/02/2025 21:44

Emma mattress… 8 years in and counting. Took the old one away, new one arrived 2 days after ordering and Soooooo comfy.

Sallysoup · 18/02/2025 21:44

I've just spent weeks researching mattresses! Was nearly swayed by a £2.5k Tempur at Dreams, looked at all the new Emma types, landed on a Silent night Geltex, it's so comfortable, we got medium firm but there are various ones, be aware though it's nearly 40cm deep so I've had to buy new sheets!

Velmy · 18/02/2025 21:42

Can't remember the brand but we got a hybrid one with a layer of cooling gel. Paid a small fortune for it but it paid for itself over the summer!

We bought a Premier Inn one online during lockdown to avoid going to a showroom and testing them. Sorry OP, but it was really disappointing. Hard and uncomfortable.

We like to go to some five star holiday cottages on the coast, and my husband pulled the sheet back to see what the mattress we were sleeping on there was.

I expected it to cost £2,000 plus, it was so comfortable. Imagine my delight when I found it was a mere fraction of that. It's made by Highgrove beds in Yorkshire, and below is a link. We've bought two so far.

It's a kingsize one. Not silent night because we had a v disappointing one from them.
I always thought a harder mattress would give better support. Turns out it does... if you're a back sleeper. And we are not.
Medium hard has been an absolute life changer. No aches and pains and it's the absolute best place to be.

Glad when got it when the dc were too old to share it.

Tooty78 · 18/02/2025 21:21

Hyder, I slept on one for a week in a hotel and it was absolute bliss!
I have a Hypnos at home which I thought was great, but the Hyder was on a whole new level.
