Finding the right sleep accessories
While a good mattress is the best base to begin your journey towards good sleep, it's not the only thing that matters. ๐ณ
We all need a good array of sleep accessories to keep us comfortable, ranging from pillows to duvets to mattress toppers and anxiety-reducing weighted blankets.
Luckily, we've worked with many of the UK's top sleep brands so we can recommend all the right products.
Here's a quick overview of some of the UK's top sleep accessory brands:

Choosing sleep products online
If this is your first time looking at sleep products online, you're probably asking yourself one very important question:
How could you possibly choose a mattress or sleep product if you haven't tested it first?
This may seem like a valid concern to have, but we actually prefer purchasing our products online.
- There's a much bigger selection of products online than in brick-and-mortar retailers.
- You can choose your next favourite sleep product from the comfort of your own home.
- Online products are often much cheaper - and you'll get to make use of wonderful discount codes.
- Most of the brands we love offer free delivery, so you don't have to stress about schlepping a new mattress home.
- The best online brands offer risk-free trial periods, giving you the chance to try out your new product and send it back for a full refund if you're not 100% convinced.
Trying a product during an at-home trial period is actually much more effective in figuring out if it's right for you or not than testing it out for a few minutes in a store under the scrutinising eyes of a sales assistant. ๐
And with a product review site like Sleep Hero UK as your guide, you're guaranteed to have a fabulous experience shopping online. ๐
So let us be your sleep heroes, your guide to the online sleep world, and your companion in your journey to better sleep, once and for all!
