Considering we spend a third of our lives asleep, a good mattress is one of the most important purchases you can make.
From Simba and Emma to Nectar and Dusk, the sleep business is booming. Thanks to constant innovation, the days of lumpy mattresses and back pain are long gone. Whether it’s hybrid spring designs or cloud-like memory foam models, myriad brands are competing for a place in your bedroom.
Bringing the comfort of a hotel room into your own home, Premier Inn has been collaborating with Silentnight since 2023, enabling you to buy the exact mattresses you sleep on while staying at Premier Inn hotels.
As well as its adverts starring Lenny Henry, the UK’s largest hotel chain is chiefly known for its high-quality mattresses that help you drift off to the land of Nod. Carefully designed and rigorously tested, the Premier Inn mattress claims to regulate your temperature and provide edge-to-edge support, thanks to a blend of breathable foams and a pocket-spring system.
With mattresses from the likes of The Marriot, Ritz-Carlton, The Westin and Soho House costing upwards of £1,500, Premier Inn’s model is also one of the most afforable on the market, with prices starting from £609 – but does it promote the best possible sleep experience? Keep reading to find out.
How I tested
As part of my quest for the best night’s sleep, I tested the Premier Inn x Silentnight mattress 2.0 for around a month. I’m prone to bouts of insomnia and am an annoyingly light sleeper (the slightest movement from my partner or noise outside can wake me up). So, I wanted to see if the hotel-grade model improved my overall sleep. Considering how quickly I nodded off, as well as how deep my sleep was, I assessed comfort, quality, value for money and looks. Here’s my verdict.
