Who is Dunelm?
Dunelm is a British retailer that sells homewares throughout the UK.
They have a huge presence online, alongside superstores across the country. 🇬🇧
Marks & Spencer holds a significant stake in Dunelm, but it remains a family-run business for the most part.
Today, Dunelm has over 175 stores in the UK and a Dunelm website where orders can also be placed.
What brands does Dunelm sell?
Dunelm mostly sells products from its own brand and exclusive collections, like the Hotel Collection. 🛏️
They have also acquired the trademarks of some long-standing British brands, such as Dorma and Fogarty.
Alongside this, they also sell some big names in the mattress world, like Tempur and Panda.
Here is a quick overview of our favourite brands available at Dunelm.
Fogarty
The Fogarty mattress collection is budget-friendly and includes open coil, pocket springs and hybrid memory foam mattresses.
They’re available in soft to medium firmness, making them an excellent option for a wide range of sleepers.
There are mixed Fogarty mattress reviews on Authentic Reviews [1], with some customers praising the brand for being good value and others criticising the longevity of the mattresses.
Ultimately, a more affordable mattress is unlikely to last as long as a premium mattress with higher-quality materials and technology.
However, Fogarty has a great selection of mattresses for those on a budget. 💰
Dorma
Dorma offers a range of premium Dunelm pocket sprung mattresses made from high-quality materials.
Each mattress is dual-sided, hand-tufted and designed with layers of natural materials, like wool, cotton and horsehair.
Some Dorma mattresses also come with vents to allow fresh air to circulate throughout the mattress and keep you cool.
Dorma also offers a fantastic guarantee period of up to 25 years on their premium mattresses, much longer than popular brands like Simba and Tempur.
The Dorma Dunelm mattresses are deeper than the average mattress, ranging from 27 to 35 cm (10.6 to 13.7 inches).
You may need a flat or deeper fitted sheet to fit over the mattress, such as the fitted sheets from Panda Bedding.
The Hotel Collection
Dunelm’s Hotel collection is designed to give a five-star experience across mattresses, bedding and room decor.
The Hotel collection offers low-mid-range pocket-sprung mattresses with a 15-year guarantee.
The collection has a choice of gel, memory foam and wool pillowtop layers that elevate the pocket spring base.
The Hotel collection is perfect for those looking to spend a little bit more on their mattress to access higher-quality materials without the £1,000 price tag.
Comfortzone
If you’re looking for a Dunelm memory foam mattress, Comfortzone is a good place to start.
Comfortzone offers memory foam bed-in-a-box mattresses on Dunelm.
They are budget-friendly, with the most expensive mattress being just over £200.
We recommend these mattresses to kids and teenagers looking for a medium-feel mattress. 🧸
Comfortzone also provides a guarantee of up to 5 years.
Dunelm kids mattress brands
Dunelm has a fantastic range of children’s mattresses, particularly from Jay-Be and Tutti Bambini.
Tutti Bambini specialises in crib and cot mattresses for your little ones, including hybrid, natural and foam mattresses.
Their mattresses are hypoallergenic, breathable and water-repellant to keep your child’s mattress in the best condition.
Tutti Bambini has a few eco-conscious mattresses that utilise natural materials, such as lamb’s wool and coir fibre.
Jay-Be also has a big focus on the environment, and their pocket spring, open coil, and hybrid mattresses are 100% foam-free and free from harmful VOC emissions.
What else?
Dunelm sells a wide variety of mattress brands, and it would be impossible to talk about them all.
But you can find out about the more well-known brands, including Panda, Silentnight and Tempur, in our more detailed reviews.
Unfortunately, Dunelm no longer sells Eve Sleep and the Dunelm Eve Mattress Topper.
Our favourite mattresses from Dunelm's top brands:
Are Dunelm mattresses good?
Dunelm mattresses have many benefits and are suitable for a wide range of people.
Let's dive into our favourite features of the Dunelm mattress collection. 👇
Budget-friendly
Dunelm is a great place to look for a mattress if you're on a budget, as they have a wide variety of reasonably priced designs.
For example, the Fogarty collection has plenty of affordable mattresses with different materials, firmness levels and features.
In many Dunelm mattress reviews, Authentic Reviews [2] customers say the Fogarty mattresses are comfortable and good value for money. 💸
If you can't afford to purchase your mattress upfront, Dunelm also offers Klarna so you can split the payments over a few months.
Generous guarantee
Each brand on Dunelm comes with a different guarantee.
For the most part, Dunelm mattresses come with a great guarantee between 10 and 25 years, which is on the higher end of the scale compared to most mattress brands.
For example, Simba, Emma and Panda offer a 10-year guarantee.
The Dunelm mattress warranty covers your mattress against any manufacturing faults, so you can use it for years (or even decades) to come.
However, the more affordable Dunelm mattresses from Comfortzone and Silentnight offer much smaller guarantees, sitting between 2 and 5 years.
Plenty of options
Dunelm has a huge mattress collection, and there are plenty of materials, firmness levels and brands to choose from.
For example, if you're looking for a Dunelm memory foam mattress, check out Comfortzone and Tempur for two different price points.
Or, if you're after a wool mattress, head to Dorma and dive into their range of mattresses with natural layers.
They even have a Dunelm futon mattress from Mito, also known as a Dunelm roll up mattress.
Head to a Dunelm store to feel the different mattresses and decide which one is right for you.
This is a great way to compare different mattresses side by side without purchasing multiple mattresses.
Are there any drawbacks to Dunelm mattresses?
Dunelm sells a wide range of mattresses that are budget-friendly and suitable for many people.
However, their luxury mattress collection is quite limited and does not provide much choice for those looking for a luxury mattress. 😴
The Tempur and Panda mattresses are the most luxurious options on the Dunelm site and are perfect for those looking for a higher-quality mattress.
Sadly, Dunelm only includes a small selection of Tempur mattresses, and you may find a larger array of luxury mattresses on Mattress Next Day, Mattress Online or the brand sites themselves.
We recommend checking out Harrison Spinks, Simba and the rest of the Tempur collection.
How much do Dunelm mattresses cost?
Dunelm offers many different mattresses at different price points.
The Fogarty and Comfortzone mattresses are some of the most affordable, while Tempur and Dorma mattresses sit around the £1000 mark.
There are regular Dunelm online shopping sales that can help you save 50% or more on selected items. 🤯
The Dunelm sale online can also be found in-store.
They have plenty of bargains throughout the year, including the Dunelm mattress sale, Dunelm pillow sale, and Dunelm bed sales.
You can also find some clearance stock available online in the sale category.
Do Dunelm have mattresses in store?
Dunelm has stores across the UK, alongside their online website.
We visited the Dunelm store, and overall, it was a pleasant experience, with a varied collection of mattresses to browse.
But can you try mattresses at Dunelm?
Yes! You can lie down and test different mattresses side by side to see which one is right for you.
The stores also have a huge range of bedding and homeware to browse.
However, it did feel somewhat disorganised and cluttered in places (not dissimilar to most Primark stores.)
The particular branch we visited didn’t have the best layout, and we missed certain areas of the store.
Once we circled around the second time, we stumbled upon sections we hadn’t previously seen.
Therefore, we think shopping online is easier - particularly if you’re looking for something specific.
The Dunelm website is highly accessible, with items organised within categories.
You also can filter items by brand, size, material, colour, and other options depending on the item category.
We recommend visiting the Dunelm store if you are just out having a browse.
We ended up finding a lot of useful items that we probably wouldn’t have stumbled across online. 🛒
Supporting brick-and-mortar stores also helps high streets compete with the online market and prevent them from closing down.

It often helps to shop around at different stores to compare the best deals.
How are Dunelm mattresses delivered?
Dunelm offers home delivery on mattresses for an added cost. 🚚
They offer multiple types of delivery options, including next-day, chosen-day and standard-day delivery.
Unfortunately, there is no free delivery option for large items, like mattresses, but there is free delivery for smaller packages.
You can also choose for your mattress to be delivered to your room of choice by Dunelm’s two-person team.
This is great for people who may not be able to carry the mattress into their bedroom.
When it comes to who does Dunelm use for delivery, it depends on your order and area.
They will notify you of your delivery partner once you have placed your order.
Does Dunelm take your old mattress away?
If you're purchasing a new mattress, it can be tricky to dispose of your old one.
The Dunelm mattress recycling process makes things a little easier.
Dunelm partners with the British Heart Foundation and Clearabee to remove your old mattress and give it a second life.
You can arrange for free collection from your home.
The British Heart Foundation only accepts unsoiled mattresses with the fire safety label attached, while Clearabee accepts them in any condition. 🙌
How are Dunelm mattresses returned?
Dunelm offers free returns and a full refund.
However, the mattress must be in its original condition with packaging, tags, and proof of purchase.
Dunelm also does not offer a trial period, which means you can’t test this mattress and decide if it’s for you.
You can test the mattresses briefly at a Dunelm store, but this doesn’t provide the same experience as a 200-night mattress trial, which is common with other brands.
If you would like to purchase a mattress with a 365-night trial period, we recommend:
Should you shop at Dunelm?
Overall, we think Dunelm is a worthwhile store, whether online (dunelm.com) or in-store. ✅
They have a vast selection of products for the home, and we’re confident they’ll have something you may need.
However, there are plenty of fantastic online brands to consider too.
If you’re thinking about buying a new mattress, you should have a good browse at all the options available to you.
That way, you can make an informed decision that will prevent you from making a purchase you might later regret.
