What should you pay attention to when buying a mattress on a bank holiday sale?
Even though you may be excited by the prospect of saving and want to jump straight into buying your new mattress, we would highly recommend that you give your mattress purchase a little thought. ๐ญ
A new mattress should be a long-term investment.
After all, you're planning on keeping your new mattress for at least 10 years! ๐ฑ
So it's important to pay attention to quality, above all.

Our suggestion would always be to do thorough research first, bookmark the mattresses you want to come back to, and then wait for a bank holiday sale to make the purchase. โฒ๏ธ
Of course, you can rest assured that the mattresses we recommend are all tried-and-trusted favourites.
They're not always the cheapest, but they always offer good value for money, they all come with risk-free trial periods, and they're all made from high-quality materials that will last you a long time.

That said, here are a few things to consider before you purchase your new mattress. ๐
Choose high-quality mattresses
The importance of quality when it comes to your new mattress cannot be overemphasised. ๐
After all, the quality of your mattress affects the quality of your sleep, and the quality of your sleep affects the quality of your life.
But this does not mean that you necessarily have to invest in a Tempur Sealy.
Many of the best mattresses are quite affordable - especially if you're buying with a handy coupon code. ๐ท๏ธ
Just make sure that the mattress you're considering is made of high-quality, durable materials that will last you a minimum of 10 years.
Choose the firmness level that's right for you
Mattresses come in different degrees of firmness; some will be softer, and some will be firmer. โ๏ธ ๐งฑ
Ultimately, the right degree of firmness for you depends on your personal preferences.
Do you want your mattress to be soft and cuddly? ๐งธ
Or do you prefer sleeping on top of your bed instead of snuggling into it?
Other factors to consider include your body type, weight, and your favourite sleeping position. ๐คฏ
Side sleepers, for example, will often prefer softer mattresses, while back and stomach sleepers will often prefer firmer mattresses.
Likewise, lighter-weight people generally prefer softer mattresses, while heavier-weight people or those of larger builds will do better on firm or even extra firm mattresses. ๐ฎ
Medium-firm mattresses are a good in-between that are suitable for most people.
We've also devised a Sleep Hero firmness scale, where we rate the mattresses we test on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is the softest and 10 is the firmest.
Pay attention to the materials used
There are dozens of different mattress materials. ๐งฝ๐ฑ๐
None are necessarily better than others (try to avoid cheap innerspring mattresses though), but you will find some materials that will be better suited to you.
Do you like to feel snug and warm at night?
Then memory foam mattresses may be good for you. ๐
These are also often recommended as orthopaedic mattresses!
If you're a heavy sweater and prefer a mattress that remains completely temperature-neutral, then you may sleep better on a luxury pocket sprung mattress. ๐ฌ๏ธ
Hybrid mattresses are also a good choice, as they tend to combine pocket springs with memory foam and provide the best of both materials.

Many of the luxury mattresses we recommend are hybrid pocket memory mattresses - try out the Simba Hybrid Luxe or the DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid. ๐
If eco-friendly and organic materials are important to you, then you may want to opt for cotton, wool, or natural latex mattresses.
Choose the right mattress size
Of course, the right mattress size will depend primarily on your needs and your budget. ๐ฐ
The standard UK mattress sizes include:
- Small single mattresses sized 75 x 190 cm (2'6" x 6'3")
- Single mattresses: 90 x 190 cm (3โ x 6โ3โ)
- Small double mattresses: 120 x 190 cm (4' x 6'3")
- Double mattresses: 135 x 190 cm (4โ6โ x 6โ3โ)
- King size mattresses: 150 x 200 cm (5โ x 6โ6โ)
- Super-king-size mattresses: 180 x 200 cm (6โ x 6โ6โ)
If you're sharing your bed with a partner, we'd recommend choosing a double mattress or an even larger one.
Double-check on the delivery conditions
Most online mattresses come with free delivery and returns. ๐
But some delivery conditions may differ.
Does the brand offer next day delivery? Are remote areas in the UK include? Does the brand ship to Ireland? ๐ง

These are all conditions you should double-check before hitting the checkout button. ๐
Choose a good trial period
Most of the bed-in-a-box mattresses we recommend come with risk-free trial periods. โณ
These trial periods give you the chance to try out the mattress in the comfort of your own home for a set period of time, be it 30 days, 100 days, 200 days, or even 365 days!
It may take your body a few weeks to get used to a new mattress, especially if your old mattress was vastly different to the one you just bought.
This is why trial periods are so important, as they give you the chance to really figure out if a mattress is right for you.
If after a few weeks you're waking up with lower back pain or feeling a little uncomfortable, then you can return the mattresses - free of charge - for a full refund. ๐
Make sure your mattress has a guarantee
Again, most quality mattresses come with a 10-year guarantee. ๐ค
But warranty conditions may differ.
Some brands require you to unpack your mattress within one month of receiving it; otherwise, you'll void your warranty! ๐ฑ
Should you buy a new mattress this bank holiday?
The trick to finding the best bank holiday mattress sale is knowing where to look - and we've got you covered there! ๐
We also guide you through a world of mattresses, so you really won't struggle with making a decision.
And if you're still not sure, don't worry; all of the mattresses we recommend come with a risk-free trial period, so you can simply return the mattress for a full refund if you're not happy! ๐
