The Premier Inn Mattress

Introduction
This page provides a guide to the new Premier Inn mattress and bed made by Silentnight and available to purchase direct from Premier Inn (link at the bottom of page). There are also two alternative mattresses to consider, the first is a Which? best buy made by Silentnight and using the Geltex® system but comes in at half the price of the new Premier Inn mattress. The other is a fully sprung natural fibre mattress using no synthetic fillings.


The Premier Inn brand is renowned for its comfortable beds and this is largely down to the mattresses they use. The company actually uses the same type of mattress in every room throughout thier 800 hotels and offer guests a good nights guarantee that they will sleep well in the bed, and if not, guests can claim a refund. As of 2023 Premier Inn has partnered with Silentnight to manufacture the new Premier Inn mattress and Premier Inn divan bed.

There has been an approximate 20% increase in the prices of both the mattress and divan beds across all sizes when compared to the Hypnos manufactured mattresses and beds supplied prior to 2023.

Please note that as of the start of 2023 it is most likely that the mattress you will have slept on in a Premier Inn may not be the new Silentnight mattress but in fact the Hypnos Premier Inn mattress as supplied up to the end of 2022. (We have found that even brand new Premier Inn hotels launched in 2023 are still being fitted with the previous Hypnos mattress version. The roll out of the new mattress across the 800 plus UK hotels will likely take several years.

Therefore if you are thinking of purchasing a Premier Mattress based on your recent sleep experience at one of the hotels we would recommend that you first confirm whether you have in fact slept on the new Silentnight mattress or the previous Hypnos mattress, by either checking whilst still in your hotel room or speaking to the management/housekeeping staff.

Comprehensive Guide
What better way to 'test-ride' a mattress than actually sleep on it, and this is of course why so many people who stay at Premier Inn hotels and find thier beds so comfortable are then interested in buying the same mattress for thier home. For many years now Premier Inn has enabled customers to buy the same bed that you sleep on in the hotel. Up until the end of 2022 these mattresses and beds were made exclusively by Hypnos but this contract has now expired and Silentnight will be providing a similar service going forward.

The new mattress is quite different from the previous Hypnos version and makes use of a memory foam and gel filled layer known as Geltex® in addition to a 1000 zoned spring system. It will have a different feel to the previous model due to considerable differences in the materials used and construction. Let's look into the detailed construction so we can understand how the new mattress works and what it offers.

​Premier Inn claims the new mattress is much better at regulating body temperature resulting in a cooler and more comfortable sleep. This is achieved with a removable mattress topper made from two layers of polyester, one running horizontally and one running vertically. This pattern helps regulate body temperature by allowing moisture to escape easily. The mattress topper is attached using a zip and is designed to be lightweight and therefore easily removed by just one person which enables it to be turned. It is not necessary to turn the entire mattress.

Premier Inn Silentnight Mattress - Ebony Divan
​The main features the new mattress offers are:
  • Lightweight, temperature regulating mattress zipped topper
  • Geltex® mattress filling - Geltex is a hybrid of an elastic gel and air permeable foam. 
  • Zoned spring support system made up of 1000 zoned pockets which provide medium firm support in the sleeping area with stiffer springs to the outer edge of the mattress to prevent sagging.  

What is Geltex®?
Geltex® is a hybrid made from a combination of an elastic gel and air permeable foam which has been around for about 10 years. It aims to solve the problems that memory foam mattresses suffer from which is principally heat retention and therefore a hot and uncomfortable sleep.

Geltex® claims to offer three principal advantages:
  • Optimal breathability to stop you from getting too hot
  • Pressure relief to help with aches and pains
  • Body support to keep you in the position and shape mother nature intended you to be

Pocket sprung is the most common mattress construction type used by hotels, favoured for its comfort and durability making the most important consideration when buying the spring tension. Springs tend to be rated as either medium or firm, this is determined by the metal thickness. The decision between whether medium or firm is ideal for you is down to your bodyweight (see next table). The Premier Inn mattress uses a medium-firm spring tension in zoned areas. This means that the sleeping area will have medium-firm springs and the outer edge will be firm to prevent sagging when you sit on the mattress edge.

Medium (1.4mm spring thickness)
up to 16 stone / 50 to 101kg
Firm (1.6mm spring thickness)

Should you turn a Premier Inn mattress over?
No, the mattress never needs to be turned over, instead it is fitted with a lightweight topper which can be unzipped and rotated (top to bottom) easily by one person. It is recommended to turn the topper once every 3 months.
The Premier Inn mattress sits on a divan base also manufactured by Silentnight. The divan bases are sold as a single piece unit for the single size divan and then two piece units for the double, King-size and Super King options.

​All divan bases are mounted on silver glides for stability and measure 38cm in height, so that when the mattress is placed on top the full height of the Premier Inn bed will be 66.5cm (+/- 2cm). The Divan drawers are rated for a content load of up to 20kg. Please note headboards are not supplied but the Divan bases will fit most standard headboards.

​There are two colour options for the fabric covering the divan base: Ebony and Charcoal Velour

Possible alternatives to the Premier Inn mattress worth considering...

Buying a mattress is a big and important investment for most people. On average we spend a third of our lives in our beds and the comfort and quality of the mattress is the main factor in how well we sleep each night.

It is recommended that we should change our mattress every 6 - 8 years which equates to just over 2,500 nights of sleep. In terms of value this means that if for example you spent £750 on your new mattress it would work out costing you about 29 pence per night's sleep. 

So how can you work out the difference between a good mattress and an average one? Well of course a lot of this is subjective, what one person finds perfect another may not. There are various different factors which will determine the perfect mattress for an individual:
  • Do you prefer a soft, firm or hard mattress?
  • Are you a back or side sleeper?
  • Do you tend to frequently move a lot through the night?
  • Do you tend to suffer from excessive heat when sleeping?

The likely reason that you are reading this page is because you have stayed at a Premier Inn and were impressed with the mattress you slept on and therefore you might be thinking of buying one. The Premier Inn mattress is a good quality mattress which will certainly suit many people but it is designed to cater for all body weights and shapes and as such may not be perfectly tailored to your requirements.

Also remember that the bedding you used in the Premier Inn will also have played an important role in how comfortable your night's sleep was, keep reading this article to find out all the specifications of the Premier Inn bedding and how to purchase this direct if you wish.
