To say the mattress industry has transformed in the last decade is an understatement. Once, buying a new mattress involved a trip to a showroom and a few tentative public bounces. But the boom of the so-called “bed-in-a-box” industry has swept aside the try-before-you-buy approach. Instead, everything is managed online - you browse, you click and it arrives in the post.

These fiercely competitive brands make things as easy as possible. If you don’t get on with your mattress, you can usually return it and get a full refund within a 100-days (a full year, in one brand’s case). They all typically use innovative forms of technology to perfect their products, using everything from memory foam to latex to pocket springs to a mixture of all three.
