The Sleep Shop FAQs
Who actually runs The Sleep Shop?
FGS Furnishings Ltd, a family furnishing business based in Sleaford, Lincolnshire, owns and operates it, and the same family firm sits behind all three physical outlets: the Sleep To Go showroom at the Furniture Mill, the Carre Street shop in Sleaford, and the Grantham branch. It is a stockholding retailer rather than a dropshipper: stock is warehoused and delivered on the firm's own transport rather than drop-shipped in from a supplier.
Can you try the mattresses in person before buying?
You can, if Lincolnshire is reachable. The Grantham branch and the Sleep To Go showroom at the Furniture Mill on East Road in Sleaford take visitors, while the Carre Street store in the same town runs by appointment. Anyone outside the county should weigh the exchange trial terms before ordering a mattress unseen, since that swap is the only safety net on offer.
Does The Sleep Shop stock bed-in-a-box brands?
The stable runs on long-standing British bedmakers, Silentnight, Sealy, Sleepeezee, Relyon and Dunlopillo, with Dormeo and the retailer's own exclusive lines alongside, rather than the boxed direct-to-consumer model that ships a rolled mattress to your door. Those exclusive lines are designed with the bedmakers behind them rather than bought off the shelf. If one particular boxed name is a must-have for you, check the current brand list on the site before ordering, since the range on show can change.
Does The Sleep Shop only sell mattresses?
Far from it. Mattresses sit alongside beds, divans and headboards, plus pillows, mattress protectors and toppers, and the catalogue stretches into bedroom furniture, living and dining pieces and upholstery. Furniture brands on the site include Julian Bowen, Bentley Designs, Birlea and Welcome Furniture, which is the parent firm's furnishing trade showing through: this is a broad household retailer, not a mattress site with extras bolted on.
What warranty do you get on a Sleep Shop mattress?
Everything the company supplies is guaranteed for a minimum of 12 months. Beyond that floor, longer manufacturer cover varies by brand, so two mattresses in the same order can arrive with different terms attached. Check the cover on your specific model before ordering, and keep your proof of purchase, since the exchange trial also requires the original purchaser to show it.
