FAQs

Why should I choose an eco-friendly mattress?

These days, we’re all doing our bit to protect the environment and rightly so. From recycling glass and plastic bottles to choosing vegetarian options over meat at dinnertime, changing just a few of our daily habits and routines can help to make a difference. But did you know that it’s also possible to sleep in a more environmentally-friendly way? Just make sure you choose a mattress that’s made from sustainable and recycled materials – like an eco-friendly mattress from the Silentnight Eco range.

These unique mattresses are environmentally friendly from start to finish. First, they feature a special comfort layer – the Eco Comfort Fibres™ layer – that's made entirely from recycled plastic bottles. And then, many years later, you’ll find that they’re actually fully recycled so nothing goes to landfill.

And as well as being designed, developed and crafted to be eco friendly, the mattresses in the Silentnight Eco mattress range are also incredibly comfortable. Remember that Eco Comfort Fibres™ layer? It’s breathable, which means cooler and more comfortable sleep especially if you tend to overheat at night. Silentnight Eco mattresses are also flame retardant without the use of chemicals, so they’re just healthier all round.

If you’re interested in learning more about improving the quality of your sleep, be sure to take a look at our Sleep Well, Live Well hub. You’ll find plenty of sleep tips and strategies from our resident sleep and wellness advisor Dr Ranj including easy ways to create a more sleep-friendly environment and how to tackle sleep deprivation.

What’s the right Silentnight Eco comfort mattress for me?

As well as being environmentally friendly, this versatile collection offers a choice of different mattress types for different sleepers. If you prefer a firmer mattress, be sure to look at the Silentnight Eco firm mattress and divan set. Featuring the brand’s Miracoil spring system, an open coil spring system, this mattress provides edge-to-edge and zoned support for perfect spinal alignment while eliminating partner roll together. If you sleep better on a medium-feel mattress, try the Silentnight Eco Pocket mattress. This has 800 Mirapocket pocket springs in king size arranged in three zones to offer support precisely where you need it.

And finally, the Silentnight Eco Pocket Plus mattress has the same zoned Mirapocket pocket spring arrangement as the Silentnight Eco Pocket mattress plus an additional layer of micro springs for enhanced comfort and support. Whatever you choose, know that all the mattresses in the Silentnight Eco comfort collection offer extra breathability thanks to the sustainable Eco Comfort Fibres™ layer. This is specifically designed to allow enhanced airflow and it means that these mattresses are a great choice if you tend to overheat at night. The mattresses and divan sets in the Silentnight Eco comfort collection are available in a choice of standard bed sizes from single to super king so there’s sure to be one that’s perfect for you and your bedroom space.

What’s different about these Silentnight mattresses?

With the Silentnight Eco mattress range you enjoy a high-quality mattress from a trusted name in British bed and mattress making. You’ll also enjoy innovative features like the breathable comfort layer which can help keep you cool and comfortable all night long. And as these Silentnight Eco comfort mattresses have such impressive eco credentials, you can also sleep a little easier knowing that you’re doing something good for the environment.

What’s the best way to look after my new mattress?

Like any new furniture purchase, your new Silentnight Eco mattress should be looked after carefully in order to ensure a long life and many years of enjoyment. We always recommend that you read and follow the manufacturer’s care guide and any other information provided. Please be sure to keep these written instructions in a safe place for future reference.

You may also like to take a look at the Furniture Village bed and mattress care guide. Here you’ll find a wealth of useful information provided by the bed and mattress experts at Furniture Village. It covers important mattress dos and don’ts – like DO use a mattress protector and DON’T jump on your bed – as well as less well-known tips and tactics. For example, did you know that you shouldn't store a new mattress on its side once you've brought it home? And that’s it’s quite normal for a memory foam mattress to emit a slight odour for a few hours once you’ve unwrapped it? The guide also has plenty of information around divan base care, including how to clean wooden bed frames, metal bed frames and upholstered bed frames.

Now I’ve chosen a Silentnight Eco mattress, what else does my bedroom need?

Choosing a new mattress is often the perfect time to revamp other aspects of your bedroom. For example, if you don't already have a divan bed base or bed frame for your new Silentnight Eco comfort mattress, why not treat yourself to a new one? Adding a statement bed frame to your bedroom is a great way to introduce an element of style quickly and easily to your bedroom. A new bed frame also provides a focal point around which you can create an exciting new look.

Go glam with a sumptuous upholstered bed frame with a high padded headboard and complete the look with some luxe accessories like velvet cushions, a fluffy rug and glass table lamps. If you prefer a more minimal Scandi-style look, opt for a wooden bed frame and pair it with beautiful oak bedroom furniture and neutral-toned accessories.
