about Silentnight

inspiring a nation of unique sleepers

Silentnight has been dedicated to helping the people of Britain sleep better for the last 80 years, that’s almost 29,000 good night’s sleep in total!

From our beginnings in the North of England to becoming the UK’s most trusted sleep brand, we’ve always put a good night’s sleep at the forefront of our business.

We understand that no two people sleep the same, so we work tirelessly to provide innovative solutions for every individual's preference and sleep style. Our commitment extends to creating sleep technology that contributes to better health and wellbeing, addressing the unique needs of all sleepers. This has helped us to achieve UK Superbrand status for 16 consecutive years.

What’s more, our environmental responsibility is embedded in everything we do, with a bold pledge to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040.

We believe that quality sleep is essential for a better life, and we're passionate about delivering this in a way that's sustainable for both our customers and the planet.
