(If you haven’t already then make sure you check out our guide to the different types of mattresses).

Sealy – The Worldwide Leader

Widely renowned as the most well-known mattress maker, Sealy mattresses have been around for over 125 years.

Sealy’s success comes from its dedication to R&D, spending more money than any other brand in testing and researching new forms of mattress technology. As a result you can guarantee that the Sealy mattress which you choose will be extremely comfortable at a very cost-effective price.

In terms of individual mattresses the Sealy Posturepedic Mattress range is very popular, and for people looking for a luxury mattress you can’t get much better than the Sealy Millionaire Luxury Mattress.

However, you can see their bestselling mattress below:

Silentnight – UK’s Biggest Brand

Whilst Sealy is arguably the leading worldwide mattress brand, Silentnight is the market leader when it comes to the UK.

The success of Silentnight mattresses can be attributed in large part to their innovative approach. Their patented No Roll Together construction technology ensures that double beds have maximum comfort for both partners, despite any weight differences, and they were one of the first companies to start using Latex and develop memory foam mattresses.

Hypnos – “The Most Comfortable Beds in the World”

As their tagline states Hypnos mattresses are built for comfort.

They hold the Royal Warrant of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II award, are crafted from the finest materials, and this quality is endorsed by the fact that many top hotels, such as JW Marriott’s Grosvenor House use Hypnos mattresses in all of their hotel rooms.

Myers – Value & Comfort

One of the most traditional companies, Myers mattresses have been around since 1876.

Myers has built an excellent reputation of being able to provide comfort at very affordable prices, with quality mattresses being available from only £126.

Rest Assured – Quality Construction

Similar to Myers mattresses, Rest Assured mattresses have a reputation for producing quality mattresses at an affordable price.

Behind the success of Rest Assured is their unique coil system which allows their mattresses to adjust to your body position and movements, contributing towards them being some of the most comfortable mattresses on the market.
