During REM sleep, your muscles completely relax. That’s where your mattress takes over to provide your body’s support. If your spine isn’t properly supported, it can lead to aches and pains, or even sleep disturbances which decrease your sleep quality and your body’s ability to restore itself. That’s why it's so important to find the right mattress to support your posture.

One of our friendly Bed Experts will ask you a few simple questions before Sleepmatch begins. This includes your name, gender, age, height, weight and, most importantly, how you currently sleep. These answers help guide your Sleepmatch results, in combination with your body and movement measuring.

We’d recommend visiting the store together if you can. We know choosing the right bed is a really important decision, and this is the best way of ensuring accurate results. However, if they cannot make it for whatever reason, you can also answer the questions on their behalf to help find the perfect mattress for you both.

It’s common for sleeping partners to have different support needs. This means Sleepmatch will occasionally recommend a split tension mattress, which are divided in two with different levels of firmness on each side. This means both you and your partner can enjoy your perfect support level without impacting the other.

To start, you’ll need to lay down flat on your back and be as still as possible so the Sleepmatch technology can take measurements. Once complete, you will then be asked to move into your preferred sleeping position for further analysis. You will feel gentle air pressure beneath you while the technology takes its calculations.

Our Bed Experts will recommend a mattress with optimum support for you based on Sleepmatch’s results. If our top choices don’t suit your personal comfort preference for any reason, we’ll be on hand to help you choose the perfect mattress.

Sleepmatch is recommended to anyone over the age of 16.

The minimum weight required to use Sleepmatch is 6 stone/38kg, but there is no maximum weight limit.

We know it’s comfy, but it’s better to skip the pillow as it might interfere with your spinal alignment during Sleepmatch’s measurements.

We think everyone deserves a bed they love, so we’ve installed Sleepmatch in all our British stores. To find your nearest one, please use our store locator. Unfortunately, we’re not currently able to offer Sleepmatch in any of our Northern Ireland stores.

There’s no need for an additional warranty after trying Sleepmatch. We offer a 100-Night Comfort Guarantee on all our mattresses as standard to make sure you’ve found your perfect fit.

We’d always recommend booking a Sleepmatch appointment to make sure one of our helpful Bed Experts is available to help you in store. However, if you can’t find an appointment, simply head down to your local Dreams store during their opening hours and ask to try Sleepmatch.
