Decide which features are most important to you and keep those in mind when testing out options, so you get the most for your money.

When testing out a bed or mattress, make sure you take your time. Lie for a few minutes on each surface, moving through various positions and finding your natural sleeping pose. One of the most common sleeping issues is not having enough space, so invest in as large a size as possible according to your budget and the space available in your home – the bigger the better.

Beds, Bedsteads and Mattresses Nothing beats the comfort of your own bed after a long day, and having the right bedstead and mattress combination is an essential part of making your bedroom the perfect haven. Our collection of bed types includes traditional frames as well as a selection of divans and daybeds. For cosy rooms, our beds for small spaces are the perfect choice, incorporating built-in drawers in a divan base they are ideal for storing clothing, fresh linen or any other items you want to stored out of sight. If you’re looking to revamp your bedroom, there’s no better place to start than with your bed frame. Your frame supports you night after night, so should be the right fit and style you’re looking for. Whether it’s a sturdy wooden bed frame or an intricately designed metal bedstead you’re after, we have a large collection to choose from at Dunelm. Invest in a mattress that suits and supports you as you rest. There’s nothing worse than a mattress that doesn’t quite work with you and the way that you sleep, so it’s important to choose one that is firm enough to support you, but soft enough for a snug night’s sleep.
You may want to try a memory foam mattress to relieve pressure on your joints or if you toss and turn as you sleep, as it will give you extra support whilst still moulding to the position you sleep in. For those looking for a sturdy pocket sprung mattress that offers responsive support as you move in your sleep, we have lots to choose from as well as our open coil mattresses. All our beds are supplied with a sprung, wooden slatted base. We don’t believe in hidden costs and therefore an integrated slatted base is included in the price of our beds. The slatted bases come in two parts. This ensures the beds have maximum support and there is little movement disturbance between the two sides of the bed. We use around 28 slats per bed in order to minimise gaps and maximise the life of your mattress. By design our bases are extremely easy to assemble. No matter how many times you take them apart and put them back together, their strength and sturdiness never deteriorates. Our bases are ideal for all types of mattress including Memory Foam and Pocket Sprung mattresses, which require maximum support to prevent damage to their springs
