We believe everyone deserves to understand the science behind a good night's sleep. Poor sleep costs the UK economy over £40 billion per year in lost productivity, and one in three people regularly struggle with their sleep. Yet most sleep education is locked behind expensive professional courses or buried in academic journals.
Sleep University changes that. We provide completely free, expert-designed courses that teach the science of sleep in plain, accessible language. Whether you're a consumer wanting to make better mattress decisions, a retail professional who needs product knowledge training, or a healthcare worker seeking CPD-worthy content — our courses are built for you.
Every course includes interactive quizzes, progress tracking, gamification through points and badges, and a verified certificate on completion that you can share on LinkedIn or add to your CV. Organisations can enrol their entire team, set mandatory courses, and track individual progress — all at zero cost.
Our course content is developed using peer-reviewed sleep research from journals including Sleep, Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, and Sleep Medicine Reviews. We translate complex academic findings into practical, understandable lessons.
WantMattress has been independently reviewing mattresses since 2020. We've tested and reviewed hundreds of products, visited manufacturing facilities, and built relationships with every major UK mattress brand. This practical knowledge informs our product-focused courses.
Every course undergoes a rigorous review process. Content is fact-checked against NHS guidelines, Bed Advice UK, and current academic consensus. We update courses regularly to reflect the latest research.
Sleep University is used by mattress retailers, healthcare providers, and corporate wellness programmes to train their teams. Our organisation dashboard gives team leaders full visibility into completion, quiz scores, and certification status.
Sleep University is the education platform of WantMattress (wantmattress.com), the UK's leading independent mattress review and comparison site. While WantMattress helps you find the right mattress, Sleep University helps you understand why sleep matters and how to get better at it.
