You should wait for 4 to 24 hours for a rolled memory foam mattress to properly expand; however, hybrid and latex mattresses are generally ready immediately. For latex-based models, it’s recommended to leave them to air out for a few hours before use.

Yes, you can sleep on an expanding mattress, especially if it’s a bed-in-a-box model. However, note that the mattress may feel notably firmer and less supportive during the first night.

A new mattress can emit a faint odour due to being compressed and sealed immediately after manufacturing. This process is completely safe, and the smell will fade by letting the mattress air out for 24 to 72 hours in a well-ventilated room before use.

The largest mattress size available in the UK is the super king mattress, measuring 180cm x 200cm. While super king is the largest size offered by Silentnight, some specialised manufacturers offer Emperor mattresses, which measure at 200cm x 200cm.

To stop a mattress from sliding off a bed frame, use a non-slip mattress pad or heavy-duty Velcro tape. Mattresses are highly prone to slipping if they’re worn out or aren’t identical to the dimensions of the bed base.

Our mattress collection has something for every sleep style. Whether you’re looking for advanced cooling technology, motion isolation or edge-to-edge support during your slumber, we’ll have the perfect mattress for you.

how do I find the right mattress?

Looking for your brand-new mattress can be a daunting task, but the first step is understanding your space, how you sleep and your individual needs. Keep reading to understand what makes each mattress different, and which one is right for you.

mattress type

While each mattress will be unique in its configuration, with individual layers designed to promote a good night’s rest, many of our mattresses offer these features:

  • Pocket Sprung – Using a series of springs that act independently, these mattresses are the best for motion isolation and targeted pressure relief as each spring reacts to your movements or sleep position.

  • Memory Foam – Often compared to a deep hug, memory foam mattresses mould and shape to your body to keep you aligned and supported and relieve any aches or pains.

  • Hybrid – The best of both worlds, a hybrid mattress uses both a series of springs and a memory foam, gel or latex comfort layer to cover all grounds.

  • Open Coil – Also known as a traditional spring mattress, these mattresses use interconnected springs to create a supportive surface and are often the most affordable mattress option.

mattress firmness

You might’ve never thought about the firmness of your mattress but for so many sleepers, having a mattress that matches your preferences can make all the difference.

  • Soft Mattress - Something you can sink right into, soft mattresses boast a plush comfort layer which is perfect for keeping side sleepers aligned and relieving pressure.

  • Medium-Soft Mattress - These mattresses still offer the same sink-in feeling as their softer counterparts. However, medium-soft mattresses offer sturdier support to help those experiencing aches as they sleep.

  • Medium Mattress - The balance of cushioning comfort and supportive springs makes medium mattresses ideal for those in need of extra assistance while they sleep who still like a mattress that moulds to their body.

  • Medium-Firm Mattress - For those who prefer a firmer mattress that still offers a touch of softness, a medium-firm mattress is often the best choice for spinal alignment and keeping back sleepers comfy.

  • Firm Mattress – Designed to offer back or front sleepers a supportive sleep surface, a firm mattress retains its shape to provide extra stability and keep your spine aligned.

sleeping position

While we all tend to toss and turn in the night, everyone has a preferred sleeping position that they find is the comfiest way to drift off. Your mattress should complement your sleep position and ensure you stay supported as you sleep.

  • Mattress for back sleepers – Those who prefer lying flat on their back as they fall asleep tend to favour firmer mattresses that stop your body sinking too deep and keeps your spine aligned.

  • Mattresses for side sleepers – Sleeping on your side can often result in your hips sinking into your mattress as your neck strains to stay on your pillow. This is why side sleepers often love hybrid mattresses which pair supportive springs with a cushioning memory foam or gel comfort layer.

  • Mattresses for front sleepers – If you prefer to dive face-first onto your brand-new mattress, front sleepers are more likely to suffer from back pain without the right mattress as their stomach sinks and their back arches. A firmer mattress with the right amount of give is best for staying supported as you lie on your stomach.

  • Mattresses for combination sleepers – Few people stay perfectly still as they sleep, with many of us switching positions throughout the night. For combination sleepers, hybrid mattresses use both springs and foam to accommodate such movement and switch-up.
