natural materials are good
natural materials are good. I hope that the bed truly is free from toxic glues and chemicals like formaldehyde and VOC's which tbh I feel ALL beds should be free of.
I personally think it should be put into law that no beds are made with harmful chemicals, toxic glues and critically have no off-gassing VOC's, as I previously bought a foam bed bought from Amazon and the off-gassing VOC's were so bad it accutely poisoned me. I'm an adult, I can't imagine what that could have done to a young child/infant...it could have killed them.
That said I've had no off-gassing thankfully from your bed. The only issue I have is that I'd have preferred it to be a bit firmer, it's a bit too soft.

Hi Niki,
Thank you for raising this, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify.
While adhesives are used in mattress construction, we want to reassure you that the mattress you ordered is foam-free. We carefully select the glues we use to ensure they are compliant with safety standards and suitable for use in bedding products.
We are based in the UK, and all of our mattresses are manufactured in line with UK regulations and guidelines. In addition, we are proud members of the National Bed Federation (NBF), which means our products and processes are independently audited on a regular basis. This ensures that all components we use are fully compliant, responsibly sourced, and well above required safety standards.
We are also using foam, which is CertiPUR certified, meaning that it passes rigorous testing to ensure clear criteria is met to comply with restrictions concerning substances in foam which may be of concern for health or the environment. You can find out more about this testing here: https://europur.org/certipur/
While we’re sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with a mattress purchased elsewhere, it’s reassuring to know that our mattress met your expectations in terms of materials and off gassing, even if the comfort level wasn’t quite to your personal preference. We appreciate your honest feedback, as comfort can be very subjective.
We take product safety, transparency, and customer wellbeing extremely seriously, and we’re always happy to answer any further questions about materials or construction. Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing our mattress.
Kind regards,
Megan
FAULTY mattress and seller refused to refund
I received mattress from the sleep people and it is FAULTY. The sleep people refused to make refund and asking me to return the mattress, which cost over GBP200.00 The product cost was GBP 147.00. Emails back and forth useless. They are now saying the fault sagging in the centre is of the mattress is usual happens. But this claim of the sleep people was not mentioned in the description. I will take the matter to Court for this kind of deception.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We’re sorry to hear that you’re unhappy with your experience and would like to clarify the situation for transparency.
After you contacted us, our team followed standard procedure by requesting photographs of the mattress to assess the reported issue. Unfortunately, no images or evidence of a manufacturing fault were provided. You advised that the mattress only dipped when you were lying on it, which is normal behaviour for foam mattresses as they are designed to conform to body weight and shape. This does not indicate a manufacturing defect.
As the mattress had been opened and used, and no fault was identified, the issue was deemed to be related to comfort rather than a defect. As outlined in our terms and conditions, used mattresses cannot be accepted for a refund on comfort grounds.
Despite this, our team still offered a refund as a goodwill gesture, subject to the mattress being returned at the customer’s expense, as there was no confirmed manufacturing fault. Return costs are arranged independently by the customer, and from our experience typically range between £40–£50 depending on the carrier — we are unclear where the £200 figure mentioned has come from.
You declined the return option and have continued to state the mattress is faulty without providing the requested evidence. Our team has made multiple attempts to resolve the matter, however without either the return of the mattress or proof of a manufacturing defect, we are unable to proceed further.
We remain open to resolving this fairly should the requested evidence be provided or the return option be taken up.
Kind regards,
The Sleep People Customer Support Team

Thank you for giving us your honest review, we always appreciate these, and it helps us improve going forwards. It’s disappointing to hear that our production team missed the mark on getting the right mattress delivered the first time. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify that we need the exact evidence to get this resolved, so our quality department can do a through investigation on what has gone wrong and make sure that the same mistake does not happen again. However, we do understand that this can be an inconvenience so we do apologise for this.

Don't Buy from this Company!
NB- I purchased this mattress from Starlight Beds however they are the same company and all my correspondence to Starlight comes from The Sleep People.
I wrote a review on this mattress when I purchased it 3 months ago which was positive due to good customer service and swift delivery . However after the double mattress has been slept on by a 7 stone teenager since the end of September it has become bobbled, discoloured and worse of all it has dipped in the middle. God only knows how it would fair with 2 grown adults occupying it?? It's a shame I can't post photos on here, as everyone I have shown cannot believe the state it's in - apart from Starlight Beds of course . To them this is normal wear and tear and despite a back and forth via email they continue to believe that is the case. It most definitely is NOT 'just wear and tear' and judging by the first 3 months use it will not be fit for purpose within 12 months - which ironically is the length of the guarantee they give you. Although I'm not sure what the guarantee is worth as significant dipping is not covered. AVOID AT ALL COSTS UNLESS YOU WANT TO PURCHASE A NEW MATTRESS WITHIN THE YEAR.
EDIT AFTER THEIR RESPONSE . the response from sleep people suggested I did not send photos of the dip. I did send pics however they then requested I measure the dip and send photos of the measurements. At this point I gave up. I was not going to win.

We’re sorry to hear about your disappointment with the mattress and understand how concerning it is to experience these issues within a short period of use. We appreciate you acknowledging the positive service you initially received, but we regret that the product performance has not met your expectations over time.
As discussed during our email correspondence, our assessments are carried out in line with the terms of our warranty and manufacturing guidelines. We did request images showing the reported dipping so that we could investigate this further; however, we did not receive these. That said, we understand that this outcome was not what you had hoped for. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and your comments have been noted and will be passed on for further review. We’re sorry that on this occasion we were unable to reach a resolution that met your expectations.
