How soon can you deliver?

For most areas, soon as tomorrow! Order any next-day mattress before 4pm, and you can get it on the very next working day - or on a day of your choice.

Occasionally, you'll need to order some products a little earlier than 4pm for next-day delivery. Please check individual products for details.

Unfortunately, we can't deliver next-day to a small number of postcodes. For a full list, please visit our delivery page.

What if my item is out of stock?

You may have to wait a little longer to receive it. Check the specific product information for delivery details. We'll get in touch to arrange delivery as soon as your item is ready.

How much does delivery cost?

Our standard delivery service to your front door is free!

Our premium delivery service to the room of your choice costs £20 but in many cases, it's applied automatically - free of charge.

It depends on the delivery service you've requested.

At your front door

This is our free, standard delivery service. We'll deliver your item to the front door of your house, or the main entrance to your block of flats. We won't bring your order inside.

To the room of your choice

How to choose the right mattress

What's the right mattress firmness for me?

We know it's tricky to choose the right firmness rating. To help you make the right decision, we test every single mattress in our bespoke Comfort Lab and give each one a rating from soft to extra firm. This is why you'll find a firmness rating across every one of our mattresses.

But who better to rate our mattresses than our customers themselves? Our review platform, Feefo, is full of helpful, honest reviews - written by customers just like you. Customers rate their new mattress on firmness, support, comfort, quality and more.

We recommend reading Feefo reviews before you purchase your mattress. They're a great way to get more information about it!

What if my mattress is too firm or too soft?

When you get your new mattress, please test it. Ensure that the packaging remains unopened until you are completely happy with it.

If you are unhappy with the firmness of your mattress when you receive it, please bear in mind that we are unable to accept a mattress for return if it has been opened and used.

If you'd like to return or exchange your mattress, please follow the steps above.

What’s the right mattress for my bed base?

You should check the manufacturer’s guidelines to see which type of bed base is best suited for your mattress.

If you have a slatted bed base, some mattress manufacturers have recommendations on the maximum width between bed slats and the width of the slats themselves. This is because certain slat measurements can put your mattress under greater strain.

We have more information on bed slats on our bed slats advice page and bed base guidelines page.
