Who are Dunlopillo?

Dunlopillo was first established nearly a century ago back in 1929 by a scientist from the UK called Mr E Murphy who developed what was later dubbed “Dunlopillo Latex”. This formed the starting point for the history that followed. The next logical step became latex mattresses and from there growth, product ranges and a little bit of innovation along the way in support and comfort gives you the mattresses you see today.

Today Dunlopillo operates independently as part of the Relyon group, enjoying huge demand for it’s latex mattresses across the globe. One of the prime drivers for Dunlopillo’s success over the years is their unique latex offering, the Dunlopillo mattresses all benefit from latex, a natural, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal product that can bounce back, rejuvenate and revitalise.

Are Dunlopillo mattresses any good?

Dunlopillo Mattresses, with their unique latex properties are different to the run of the mill, dime a dozen memory foam and micro-pocket spring mattresses that have been marketed heavily over the last few years. The mattresses offered are suitable for anyone looking for a medium firmness mattress, that’s going to be you, provided you have an average BMI.1

What makes Dunlopillo Mattresses really impressive is the extended guarantee period, in a world which has been relian on a 1 year guarantee for many products, Dunlopillo sets the standard to achieve, with an impressive 8 year guarantee. This length is fairly unheard of in the industry, after all, general mattress longevity is often pegged at around 7 years for even the best of products, so by going a year beyond this, we can clearly see the trust that the retailer and brand both have in a product of this quality.

Reviews are also very good across the line-up with some commenting on how their previous iterations of Dunlopillo mattresses have lasted them 20 years. One of the prime complaints for people with a Dunlopillo mattress tends to be the lack of handles, which does make rotating the product a little more painful, and the weight of the product which again, affects the movement of the product, necessary in order to ensure even settlement of fillings over a period of time. Provided you can overcome this small critique, the firmness, longevity, and even the price are all generally regarded as industry standard or better and with the guarantee mentioned above, you can be safe in the knowledge that you really will only need to purchase once for an entire 8 year period. Add up all the hours you get to spend in a Dunlopillo bed and the cost of sleep over that period is actually incredibly low. So treat yourself today and dive right in to our Dunlopillo Mattress offerings now!

Why Dunlopillo feels different from everything else

Dunlopillo is one of the few brands in the UK that builds its mattresses around latex rather than memory foam or springs alone. That one decision changes everything about how the mattress feels. Latex springs back faster than memory foam, doesn't hold heat the same way, and has a buoyant quality that you either love or need a few nights to get used to. If you've tried memory foam and found it too hot or too slow to respond, Dunlopillo is where I'd start looking.

The feel across the range sits around medium to medium-firm. It's a supportive, lifted sensation rather than a sinking one. Coming from a foam mattress, it can feel odd for the first few nights - almost like the mattress is pushing back at you rather than letting you in. Most people adjust within a week. Some take to it straight away.

The Dunlopillo range in practice

The Millennium is the core of the catalogue. Latex comfort layer over a pocket spring base, and it's what most buyers end up with. If you need something firmer, the Firmrest does what the name suggests - better for back sleepers and heavier builds. Celeste and Orchid step up from there with thicker latex and more springs.

At the top end, the Royal Sovereign and Diamond collections add natural fillings and hand-tufted construction with premium covers. They sit in the same territory as the Relyon luxury range. Both brands are under common ownership, which is why you'll sometimes see them displayed side by side in the same retailers - they're sister brands, essentially, competing at the same end of the market.

Before you buy

Weight. Latex is dense, and Dunlopillo mattresses are noticeably heavier than foam or standard spring alternatives. I'd flag this above almost anything else because it's the thing that catches people out after delivery. If you live alone or have any reason to think rotating a mattress might be a struggle, either go for a no-turn model or make sure you've got help lined up on delivery day.

The latex itself is the real thing, not a marketing add-on. A lot of brands mention latex somewhere in the spec, but it's usually a thin layer sitting on top of foam or springs doing most of the work. Dunlopillo uses proper latex as the main comfort material. That's why it feels different, why it costs more, and why allergy sufferers tend to gravitate towards it - the anti-dust-mite properties are a real benefit of the material, not something the brand has engineered in.

Durability is where the maths changes. The 8 year guarantee is longer than most competitors offer, and latex holds its shape over time better than foam does. We've heard from readers whose Dunlopillo mattresses have lasted well beyond fifteen years. That kind of lifespan changes the cost-per-night calculation considerably, mind you - what looks expensive upfront works out differently spread over a decade.

Who should buy Dunlopillo

Anyone who wants latex rather than foam. Anyone who values durability over a low upfront price. Anyone who's been disappointed by memory foam on heat or responsiveness. The Millennium is where most people should start. The Firmrest suits heavier sleepers and those who prefer a solid surface underneath them. The Royal Sovereign and Diamond ranges are worth considering if the budget stretches and you want the brand at its best. For anyone still unsure whether latex is right for them, trying one in a retailer showroom before committing is the best possible use of a Saturday morning.

Speciality strengths: Latex mattress range · Suits front sleepers · Pressure sore prevention

Reasons to buy

  • Nearly a century of latex mattress heritage since 1929, with the Dunlopillo name synonymous with latex construction in the UK market.
  • Latex is naturally anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and dust-mite resistant, making the range a practical choice for allergy sufferers.
  • Part of the Relyon group, giving corporate stability and distribution reach behind a specialist latex brand.
  • Latex bounces back faster than memory foam and doesn't hold heat the same way, suiting sleepers who dislike slow-sinking warm foam.
  • 8 year guarantee is longer than most mid-market competitors offer on their standard ranges.
  • Range extends from the core Millennium through to premium Royal Sovereign and Diamond collections with natural fillings and hand-tufted construction.

Reasons to avoid

  • Latex mattresses are noticeably heavier than foam or standard spring alternatives, making delivery and rotation harder without help.
  • The buoyant latex feel takes adjustment if you are switching from memory foam, and some sleepers never fully take to it.
  • Premium pricing on the upper tiers reflects the material costs of proper latex construction, and there is no true budget option in the range.
  • No handles on many models makes rotation more awkward than it needs to be, especially on the heavier builds.
  • Latex is the only comfort material across the range, so buyers who specifically want pocket spring or hybrid construction need a different brand.

Dunlopillo Mattresses

Spring 2026 Updates: The Dunlopillo range remains stable and the core Millennium, Firmrest and Royal Sovereign models continue to be the ones most UK buyers end up on. Latex as a category has quietly had a resurgence in recent years as hot sleepers who tried memory foam and found it too warm have been looking for alternatives, and Dunlopillo has benefited from that shift. The 8 year guarantee is unchanged, the Harrogate manufacturing heritage is unchanged, and the positioning at the top of the UK latex category is unchanged. If anything, the case for latex is stronger now than it was five years ago, because the cooling question is one buyers actively shop for rather than something they only notice after the mattress arrives.

Summer 2021 Updates: Dunlopillo mattresses are sold throughout the UK in both online retailers and also bricks and mortar storefronts. Customer reviews are very positive with the majority of feedback we receive putting them in contention for our top 3 brands in terms of customer satisfaction.

What makes Dunlopillo different from other mattresses?

Dunlopillo fit at the top end of the market, servicing customers with a unique blend of latex and latex foam mattresses. Unlike many of the cheaper bed-in-box retailers, Dunlopillo utilises full height pocket springs as their main offering which acts as the base and support layer for most mattresses. This type of layer has proved successful for decades and is recognised as the market leader of full body contouring and support for your back and neck while you sleep.

Pocket spring options are not the only options however, depending on model you may also come across what is dubbed “latex core” which is utilised by Dunlopillo as a support layer as well as a comfort layer. This means it is possible to have a mattress derived entirely from latex which makes them fully hypoallergenic and great for those who suffer while they sleep.

Dunlopillo has a focus toward eco-friendly materials and does its bit in order to protect the environment and ensure sustainability and is one of the main benefits of the companies focus toward latex as a comfort layer.

Comfort

Dunlopillo mattresses derive their comfort from soft and breathable covers which work closely with the latex fibre and foam underneath. Where memory foam traditionally causes its users to get too hot, latex is the neutraliser, offering the same sort of feeling of supreme comfort, but without the downside of causing mass sweating and discomfort while sleeping. We at WantMattress rate latex as the best comfort layer available that has mass market appeal and no real downsides other than cost. Provided it fits into your budget, latex is a safe recommendation for many.

Back pain relief

The entire Dunlopillow lineup is available in a vast array of different tensions to suit the sleeper but we were particularly impressed by the medium and firm tension offerings. We found that the level of support offered by both the pocket spring and latex core varieties both offered more than enough body contouring to give sufficient support to each area of your body, working hand in hand with the latex comfort layer on top to hug you and pull you deep into the mattress while you sleep. This not only gives you a great night's sleep, but leaves your back feeling sufficiently supported and well rested. As with all back advice, you may want to consult a doctor before purchasing a mattress specifically for back pain, as they will be able to offer more tailored advice.

Pricing

Dunlopillo mattresses fit in the premium end of our lineup and the cost is reflective of that. You can expect to pay north of £1000 for the majority of the range regardless of size preference. This might seem costly but the quality of workmanship and materials actually provides very good value for money. What’s more, you will spend a third of your life sleeping on average, it is in everyone's best interest to begin investing in their sleep. With guarantees of 8 years as standard, the cost per night of sleep actually works out very reasonable and with many of our chosen partners, interest free credit is available to help spread the cost as you see fit.

Cooling

We touched on this briefly before, but latex has naturally cooling properties. This doesn't mean that you will be cold while you sleep, rather, you’ll be kept at a neutral temperature while you sleep. This is really important because getting hot makes you restless, wakes you up, and leaves you in a pool of sweat unable to drift off into sufficient REM sleep. Not only that, getting too warm creates sweat which is unhygienic within a mattress and creates a potential bacteria-laden home for mould and other nasties to flourish. Latex however, like that seen in Dunlopillo mattresses, does not have this problem. Cooling mattresses suit more people and allow people to sleep better, it's the best comfort layer we’ve come across and I cannot recommend it enough.

Customer Reviews

Customer reviews are really impressive with people particularly happy with the sleep they get from the product. Some customers have up to 25 years of lifespan from their Dunlopillo mattresses which is a sign of just how high the quality of the mattresses are. Other customers mention the tension provides sufficient support and comfort, protecting sufficiently against back pain and giving a full and rested night's sleep. Some customers even mention not being able to get up in the morning! Honestly, I love Dunlopillo mattresses, I’m fairly confident you will too.
