Healthopaedic Mattress Reviews: What Happened to the Brand?

Fact Checked
Written byRebecca Brown, Baby and Child Sleep Expert
Updated6 April 2026

Healthopaedic mattresses became quite popular, most in particular with the Zero gravity and its soft tension that made it ideal for side sleepers. Ever trying to better their craft however, these guys were producing newer ranges every year in an effort to perfect the perfect night's sleep. Their maker, Highgate Beds, went into liquidation in April 2025.

What were Healthopaedic Mattresses?

Healthopaedic mattresses were a range of products sold under the Healthopaedic brand to retailers across the UK. These mattresses were made by Highgate Beds who crafted each Healthopaedic product in the heart of Yorkshire. These mattresses were for adults and children alike and were available in a wide range of standard sizes (single, double, king, super king size) and featured an array of different firmness ratings to suit each person's individual needs.

Who made Healthopaedic Mattresses?

Highgate Beds produced these mattresses under the Healthopaedic brand, however, that wasn’t all that Highgate produced. Highgate produced white-label mattresses for many of the UK retailers including Mattress Online, Mattressman, and Mattress Next Day, all under a range of in-house brands for each retailer. With that in mind, it’s clear to see that Highgate, and by association, Healthopaedic, had more than enough experience within the industry to know what goes into a good mattress.

Were Healthopaedic Mattresses any good?

The factory where these mattresses were made produced all their products by hand using traditional methods ensuring the same great quality as the years before.

Reasons to buy

  • Made by Highgate Beds in Yorkshire, a manufacturer that had decades of experience producing mattresses for multiple UK retailers.
  • The Zero Gravity model was specifically designed for side sleepers with its softer tension targeting shoulder and hip pressure relief.
  • Decent value positioning for the construction quality the range delivered at each price point.
  • Newer ranges each year showed ongoing product development rather than a static catalogue.
  • The range was UK-manufactured with proper production facilities behind the brand name.
  • Rolled delivery on selected models made logistics straightforward for upstairs bedrooms and tight hallways.

Reasons to avoid

  • Most buyers wouldn't have heard of the name, even though Highgate Beds had decades of manufacturing experience behind it.
  • Highgate Beds produced white-label mattresses for multiple retailers, so equivalent construction may have been sold under different brand names at different prices.
  • Marketing material could overstate the medical benefits of the orthopaedic positioning.
  • Limited showroom presence meant most buyers needed to rely on online reviews and spec sheets before committing.
  • The Zero Gravity soft tension that suited side sleepers could feel too soft for heavier back or stomach sleepers who need firmer support.
