Getting a great night's sleep is one of the most important things you can do for your health and happiness. So creating the perfect sleep environment is a must.

Usually, this starts with investing in the best mattress. This is where we come in. We are experts in mattress selection – having tried more than 100 first-hand, and reviewed over 40 at home for at least a month's worth of testing – and have narrowed it down to an easy-to-digest top five.

However, not everyone has the budget for a brand-new mattress or may not be ready to replace, so this page will help you find everything you need to improve your sleep set-up. Perhaps an affordable mattress under £500 is more realistic? Or maybe you like the support of your current bed, but need a little bit more cushion? In which case, our guide to the best mattress toppers is a must-read.

You can also improve the thermal performance of your current mattress with the best cooling mattress toppers – a great buy if you are constantly awoken by overheating. And don't forget that care and maintenance of your mattress is critical if you want it to last and stop dust and allergens impacting your sleep. Keep it fresh with our mattress cleaning guide.
