Why should I buy an eco-friendly mattress?

In an ever more environmentally conscious world, going green or reducing our own carbon footprint is an appealing option for many of us. Choosing an eco bed and mattress set is an excellent way to reduce waste, while still treating yourself to the good night’s sleep you deserve.

We believe in eco friendly mattress breakthroughs – that’s why we use the latest when it comes to eco friendly mattress innovations.

What is an eco friendly mattress?

Striving to be more environmentally conscious, eco friendly mattresses can be made from various different materials including recycled polyester and natural mattress fillings too.

Our eco mattresses are also delivered to your home in recyclable packaging.

Why choose an eco friendly mattress?

Choosing an eco friendly mattress is a choice for the planet – but it can also often be the best choice for you too. Not only are they one of the very best when it comes to comfort, but many eco friendly mattresses are also hypoallergenic. And for people who regularly suffer from allergies, this can be a game-changer when it comes to getting a great night’s sleep.

Eco friendly mattresses are also usually free from nasty chemicals, which your skin and the environment will thank you for. And many of them are fully recyclable too, unlike the many, many mattresses that end up in landfill every year. Ours also come in fully recyclable packaging – which is another little perk that is planet-approved.

Which is the best eco friendly mattress for me?

Our collection of eco friendly mattresses caters for all of the bed sizes we offer – cot beds included. Whether you’re shopping for your baby, a master suite, your kids, or a guest bedroom, you’ll be able to find a comfortable, sustainable, eco friendly mattress in our range that perfectly fits your purpose.

Whatever firmness rating you need, whether you like to feel cool or warm in bed, and however low-maintenance you want your mattress care to be – we’ve got it covered with our eco friendly mattress selection.

We get that choosing the best eco friendly mattress for you can be daunting, especially when there are so many different designs out there. When it comes to comfort, longevity, and cost – you want to make sure you’re making the right choice for you, your family, and even your sleepover guests.

That’s where we come in. We help make the process simple, from figuring out the best mattress design right down to the perfect firmness rating.

Try a pocket sprung eco friendly mattresses, for a wonderful sensation of tailored comfort. When we say tailored, we mean it – your mattress will be filled with premium, individually-pocketed springs that each respond to the weight and pressure of your body and adapt to your contours. For all the joints and pressure points that are in need of a little extra love, pocket springs respond with support, where it’s needed most.

Or perhaps an eco foam mattress is more your cup of tea. The contouring nature of memory foam feels like a gentle hug as you drift off to sleep. And given that memory foam mattresses are by far one of the most popular mattress types in the UK, we had to make sure to cater to the eco-conscious shoppers out there too.

And then there’s eco latex mattresses. These are also a type of eco foam mattress, but instead of memory foam, they use latex foam. This is beneficial thanks to its hypoallergenic, moisture wicking, and cooling properties, making an eco latex mattress a great choice for hot sleepers and allergy sufferers alike. Latex foam also has a more responsive feel than memory foam. This means it bounces back to it’s original shape faster.

Which eco-friendly mattress firmnesses are available?

At Bensons, we try hard to ensure that our products appeal to the needs and wants of every customer and so, all of our mattress types are available in a range of firmness ratings. This extends to our collection of eco mattresses too

A soft eco-friendly mattress is a great option for lightweight side-sleepers – including the little ones! Soft mattresses are perfect for kids as they provide ample support and loads of comfort. Plus, the added benefit of eco mattresses being hypoallergenic for the most part will appeal to parents of children with allergies and skin conditions such as eczema.

Medium eco mattresses may be a good fit for adult side-sleepers. If you sleep on your side and consider yourself to have an average height and build, a medium mattress will offer you enough resistance to support you properly while being soft enough on those key pressure points.

For back and front-sleepers, a firm eco mattress might be an ideal fit. Firm mattresses provide a firmer support to help ensure your spine is correctly aligned throughout the night. Some taller or heavier side sleepers could find that the additional support provided by a firm mattress is a better fit for them too.

Whether you like a really firm mattress or are a front or back sleeper with a heavier build, an extra firm eco friendly mattress might be an ideal choice.

What is the best eco mattress size for me?

Size matters. And, before deciding which mattress size you want, there are a couple of important questions you’ll need to ask yourself first: 

  1. Who will be sleeping in the bed regularly? 
  2. How big is your bedroom? 
  3. How do you like to sleep? 

At Bensons for Beds, we have mattresses in every size. So, whichever size you’re after, there’s always plenty of options to explore.

Here’s a summary of the different bed sizes and who they’re best-suited to:

Small single mattresses. Small single mattresses are usually a great option for kids, especially those transitioning from a cot bed into a big boy or girl bed. They’re also great for smaller bedrooms (also known as box rooms) that aren’t quite big enough to fit a full size single.

Single mattresses. A UK standard single mattress measures 90cm x 190cm (or 3ft x 6ft3”). They are specifically designed to sleep one adult comfortably all night long.

Small double mattresses. Small double mattresses give solo sleepers a little more space to spread out as they sleep or provide a cosy sleep for two. Mattresses in a small double size measure 120cm x 190cm (or 4ft x 6ft3”).

Double mattresses. Double mattresses are one of the most popular mattress sizes here in the UK. Designed to sleep two people comfortably (and on a regular basis), these mattresses measure 135cm wide x 190cm long (or 4ft6” x 6ft3”).

King size mattresses. King size mattress popularity is on the rise. Measuring 150cm x 200cm (or 5ft x 6ft6”), mattresses in king size are 15cm wider and 10cm longer than a double.

Super king mattresses. A super king mattress is as big as it gets in the UK. Boasting 180cm x 200cm (or 6ft x 6ft6”) of comfy sleep surface, a super king eco mattress allows two people sharing a bed enough space to spread out as they please.

Can I buy an eco friendly mattress with finance?

Mattresses aren’t cheap to buy. And ones that have been designed to be eco-conscious tend to be a bit more expensive. But at Bensons, we believe that buying yourself the mattress you want and investing in your sleep needs to be accessible to promote good health across the UK.

With this in mind, we accept a range of payment options that can make buying the right bed and mattress easier to afford. Pay for your new eco-friendly mattress with 0% interest-free finance, Buy Now Pay Later, or Klarna pay-in-3 and split the cost into easier-to-manage repayment amounts.   

Note: All mattress financing options are subject to approval following a quick and easy credit check that can be completed online. Minimum spends also apply.
