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 🤩

I spent ages trying to choose a mattress last year. I previously had an Eve for several years which I found comfortable, but over time it wasn't doing my hips, back or shoulder any good.

I got a warren evans medium pocket sprung mattress and I'm very happy with it.

To pp saying premier inn have you bought them and slept on them?
I read they were made different and lower quality than the hotel ones I'd love to hear it's bs.

Op im in your boat only I prefer firm mattresses that don't give and I've yet to find one.

I did and it was shite. I love a Premier Inn mattress and sleep in their hotels regularly. I decided to splash out on one for home and it's totally different. Really disappointed.

Ours was a Hypnos one - I think they now offer a different brand.

love my Emma but service wasn’t great.

After much research we bought an Otty hybrid a couple of years ago and it's so comfortable and holding its shape well.

We just got a really expensive foam mattress topper, was about 100 quid for the spare room double bed that I sleep in when I work late, the bed was too hard and the buttons poling out. It's more comfortable now than our 3 grand cloud mattress that I did think was the most comfortable but honestly, the rubbish mattress with the topper is now the best one in the house. I think it was a silent night topper with 5cm foam.

I also got a memory foam mattress topper for a hard mattress and completely transformed it. It's now the most comfortable bed! OP- try this before you get a new mattress.

John Ryan by design. Wouldn't have any other brand now

I disagree with Premier Inn - the ones you can buy are definitely not the same quality as what you get in the hotels. Ours sagged very quickly and we were so disappointed - they are definitely not up to the same standard as hotel versions. That was when they were made by Hypnos - I think they have changed now so can’t vouch for what the newer ones are like. Having said that we have since bought a different Hypnos mattress and it’s much better (but more expensive than “Premier Inn”). Tried Emma but had to send back as it was too soft (possibly just the version we bought). We have really struggled with finding a comfortable mattress that doesn’t give us backache.

Have a look at John Ryan by design online/ they're so helpful and knowledgeable, and although they have no showroom they can tell you which mattress works for you by the way you sleep. Had 2 in the last 5 years.. (king size went into the spare room when we upgraded to super king) absolutely faultless

@SpanThatWorld, which Hypnos pillows are the magical snore cure, please?
They do two kinds of latex, feather/down and wool.

Can't speak for hypnos but this pillow stopped DH from snoring levitex.co.uk/products/sleep-posture-pillow

ArcticBells · 19/02/2025 05:59

Gosh I wouldn't have a clue about the name/details of my mattress. Thankfully I sleep like the dead anywhere

SpanThatWorld · 19/02/2025 06:10

We have the latex high profile pillows.

I'm not saying that they stopped the snoring completely but it massively reduced. Massively reduced.

Good luck.

lampshadelampshade · 19/02/2025 06:27

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.

SkankingWombat · 19/02/2025 06:44

Relyon, but not the cheaper ones.

DD1 has our old high-end Relyon, and despite being 20 years old and at one point having 3 of us sleeping on it each night, it is still incredibly comfortable. It is the kind of comfortable that guests comment on (she was upgraded to the old guest room and double bed on the understanding that once or twice a year she will need to let guests use it).
When we got ourselves a bigger bed, we got another Relyon but went a bit cheaper as the king sizes were eye-watering and DH vetoed the upper end. Massive mistake: both me and DH were waking every morning with awful back pain and it sunk in the middle. The company claimed the sinking was within accepted levels of tolerance. We ended up giving it away and now have some horrid foam monstrosity that DH 'carefully researched'. DH loves it, but I wake every morning with back and hip pain, and it is far too sweaty. This is our second foam mattress, as the first (a different brand) was sent back under the company's trial guarantee period, having also been 'carefully researched' but ended up giving us both problems, even after DH tried and failed to improve things with a mattress topper.
I still regret not digging my heels in even harder in the first place for the quality equivalent of DD's Relyon. Overall, we've spent the same as it would have cost to just get what I wanted in the first place. Sometimes I go and lie on DD's bed to remind myself how comfortable nights could have still been!

pantsalot · 19/02/2025 06:48

We've just bought this too. Haven't slept on it yet as room is being painted but hoping for a comfortable sleep.

Piggywaspushed · 19/02/2025 07:09

I ma watching this thread as I badly need new mattresses everywhere in the house. The answer to the question ,though, is whatever Norwegians use. They put sheets on some kind of mattress topper thing. Never seen anything like it and it's very comfortable. Slept in 7 different hotels and they all had comfortable mattresses.

alwaysstressed · 19/02/2025 07:18

I got my Emma mattress only about a year ago and I hate mine. After a while it leaves a person shaped flattened hole in the memory foam where you sleep and you cant flip it because its only memory foam on one side.

The customer service is awful too

Is your base slats or a divan? The reason I ask is because this can happen when the mattress dips down where the slats are and stays in place where the central bar is. I found this out and changed to a divan.

Starlight1984 · 19/02/2025 10:31

Following with interest as we need a new one too. Opposite problem though, ours is far too soft.

(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.

Second this! We have one with horsehair and it is a dream to sleep on. Even hotel beds seem not quite as good as our bed at home now. It's made from natural materials so copes with changes in body temperature at night brilliantly. We have one side as extra firm and one side firm so we both get exactly what we want.

Updating with my thoughts on Sealy posturepedic It's brilliant and I'd recommend it to anyone who has joint, back, shoulder problems
Medium/ firm support

Normallynumb · 19/02/2025 13:45

@Katesboots
See my thoughts on Sealy Posturepedic!

Mountainpika · 19/02/2025 16:32

We had a new memory foam matress some years ago. Unfortunately it had amnesia. Never went back to the original shape. After a few nights of poor sleep we contacted the seller. (bought it online from a good company) They were very apologetic and we got a new different one which is still going strong.

InterIgnis · 19/02/2025 16:51

Purple every time. We’re on our second one now, went from the Hybrid to the RejuvenatePlus. The comfiest and most supportive mattress I’ve ever slept on. I’m a side sleeper and my husband sleeps on his back, and it meets both our requirements. It’s also cooling, which I love.

No, our base is a Hypnos divan. They’re just poorly made mattresses trading on an ancient royal warrant.
