THE year’s 2020 and you should no longer have to put up with an old creaking spring mattress.
That’s why we’ve rounded up the best mattress deals you can get in 2020 to upgrade your bed and get you sleeping better.
In the last few years, there’s been umpteen mattress companies starting up online and sending out fancy memory foam creations to your front door at a click of a button.
Typically, these mattresses come out top of the pile whenever reviewers such as Which? Magazine breaks out its rankings (we’re big fans of the ones we’ve reviewed too).
The downside? Top quality mattresses all-too-often come with hefty price tags that’ll put you off upgrading.
But if you know where (and when) to start your mattress shopping, there’s no reason you can’t find a decent discount on the mattress of your dreams… see what we did there.
Below, we’ve rounded up the best offers we can spot on some top quality mattresses, including some exclusive offers for Sun readers.
*Prices and discounts are accurate at the time of writing. Offers are subject to change.
1. Best Mattress Deals: Brook and Wilde
Brook and Wilde make some seriously comfortable sleeping gear (check out our review of the Lux mattress).
And the good news is that in February, Sun readers can get 40 per cent off a Lux or Elite mattress by entering the Valentine’s Day-themed code ‘SunLove’ at the checkout.
That means you’d save a whopping £400 off a double Elite mattress.
Although discount promotions at Brook and Wilde only apply on orders over £500.

2. Best Mattress Deals: Nectar Sleep
Nectar Sleep’s mattresses are well regarded for being both comfortable and lightweight.
They’re also billed as suitable for use with all bed types, whether you’ve got a platform bed or a slatted base.
And, as an added bonus, you can return the Nectar mattress within 365 nights if you’re not completely satisfied with it.
Right now, first time customers can get themselves £250 off a new mattress, and Nectar will even throw in two pillows worth £70 with the order.
That’s good value!

3. Best Mattress Deals: Emma
Emma is offering 40 per cent off everything in its online store in January.
That means you can save over £250 on a standard double mattress.
Billing its product as the UK’s ‘most awarded mattress’, Emma makes a triple-layered core that’s designed to be supportive, comfortable and allow heat to escape so you don’t get too hot in the night.
Like most online mattress brands, Emma offers shoppers the chance to return their chosen mattress within 100-nights if they’re not happy with it.

4. Best Mattress Deals: Otty
Otty is running a winter sale in January that lets shoppers save up to £200 on its original hybrid mattress.
And better yet, the company will also price match other mattress companies if you find a better offer elsewhere.
Not bad for a mattress that’s won a series of awards as well as being a Which? Best Buy.

What is the best mattress for the money?
It’s hard to say what the best mattress is for the money because of the number of sales and offers that can be found at various times of the year.
And there’s nothing to say that a bargain mattress from Argos won’t be the best option for you.
But of the internet brands, we reckon Otty offers up the best balance of quality and affordability, especially since it will price match the other brands.
But if you find these internet-only sellers a bit pricey, check out the Hamarvik sprung mattress from Ikea.
It’s a Which? Best Buy, and you can get a standard double for £129.
How much should you spend on a mattress?
A good sprung 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 start to 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 amount of trial period you’ll get (most internet-only brands offer 100 nights), as well as shipping costs, which can quickly send your overall cost soaring.
Some of the online-only brands offer free delivery, such as Emma.
What are the best mattresses to buy?
We’ve created a mattress buying guide which you can find here for some tips about buying the perfect mattress.
Everyone likes something different though, so it’s worth checking out a combination of memory foam, springs, hybrids and different varieties of firmness.
Luckily, loads of mattress-makers offer 100-night return periods, which will let you work out what mattress is the right fit for you.
