How to spot a good deal on a mattress?
When researching mattresses, you’ll quickly discover there are always deals to be had – no matter what type of mattress you’re looking for.
Brands like Simba and Emma often run regular offers, and stores like Dreams and Bensons for Beds hold sales with discounts on select mattresses.
If you know you need a new mattress soon, January sales can be a great time of year to buy, with generous stock clearances and big discounts.
However, if you can’t wait for sale events, then make sure to shop around and compare prices before parting with your money.
You might also want to upgrade your bedding or grab a mattress topper while you're at it.
What is the best month to buy a mattress?
While it's true that mattress retailers tend to drop prices on certain days, such as bank holidays and during big shopping events, you'll find a great mattress deal in pretty much any month of the year.
According to The Sleep Foundation, many mattress brands introduce new models in mid to late spring.
This means that the prices on older models are often slashed dramatically, so spring could be the most sensible time to buy a mattress.
Should I wait until Black Friday to buy a mattress?
Mattresses need to be replaced every six to eight years: if yours is on the way out, you'll probably find yourself desperate to buy a new one as soon as possible.

Although it's one of the best times to buy a mattress for less, there are risks involved with waiting until the shopping holiday.
As many people buy , those with the biggest discounts tend to sell out quickly.
You can generally find a good deal at any time of the year, so it might be best to shop the sale now while your favourite model is still in stock.
How much do mattresses cost?
A good spring mattress doesn't have to cost much more than £150 for a double.
Memory foam mattresses tend to be a little more expensive, but you can find good quality doubles from £300.
Hybrid mattresses, which contain a mix of foam and springs, are more expensive still and can cost anything from £400 to £1,000 and above for a double.
Other factors to consider when you buy include the length of the trial period you'll get (most internet-only brands offer 100 nights), as well as shipping costs, which can quickly send your overall costs soaring.
Some of the online-only brands, such as Emma, offer free delivery.
Which is the best bed in a box company?
Opinions on this are always changing, as newer and more innovative designs hit the market.
Most of the top bed-in-a-box brands have thousands of five-star reviews, so you can trust that there are plenty of quality options out there.
However, a few names consistently pop up in the best mattress lists.
Brands like Emma and Simba are known not just for their top-rated mattresses, but also for excellent customer service and delivery.
You can’t go wrong with any of these!
How often should you change your mattress?
The Better Sleep Council suggests replacing your mattress every seven years, but that’s just a guideline.
If your mattress is in good shape and still comfy, you can keep it longer.
However, if you're sleeping better in hotel beds or waking up sore, it’s probably time for a new one.
