How much does a mattress cost? Or better yet, how much should a good mattress cost? While it depends on the type of mattress, let's try to give a clear answer to the question: how much does a quality double mattress cost? A high-quality double mattress typically costs between €600 and €1000, while a decent mattress usually falls in the €450 to €600 range. At this price point, you may need to compromise, especially if it includes multiple layers or special covers. Over €1000, you’re entering premium quality territory—just be sure to check the features carefully.

Let’s look at some mattress examples and the factors that affect pricing.

Today, the average online price for a double mattress ranges from €500 to €700. This is common across single-brand websites (where products are exclusive and can’t be price-compared elsewhere) because it matches what most consumers expect to pay. If you’re truly looking for a mattress that supports your well-being and not just appearances, be prepared to invest more—between €1000 and €2000 for mid-to-high-end options. But what accounts for this difference? Is it necessary to spend more? Let’s explore some examples by mattress type and price range:

  • memory foam without springs
  • pocket springs with or without memory foam
  • orthopedic springs
  • natural latex

BEST MEMORY FOAM MATTRESSES FOR VALUE

Memory Bamboo Gabrielli

Looking for a good memory foam mattress at an affordable price? Or are you aiming higher for a more structured one? Let's look at the first case and then compare it with a superior mattress. A memory foam double mattress typically ranges from €500 to €1800, so the average spend for a good one is around €1000/€1200. One of the best value options is the Memory Gel Bamboo mattress—well below the average price, yet it offers features of a premium product, including firm support (not the soft feel of traditional memory foams).

A mattress, even if comfortable, could trap too much heat (read more here)making you wake up drenched in sweat, nullifying all its benefits.

Inside the fabric is the padding: noble fibers like wool or kapok and cotton in climate-control mattresses, polyester in hypoallergenic ones. Again, quality and origin vary widely.

Are memory foam mattresses really too hot?

The core of the mattress, if made of advanced foams (memory, latex, etc.), differs in density and quality (eco or not, Italian-made or imported). Natural latex can be blended with additives to adjust firmness. Memory foam may just be polyurethane (basic foam) with a “slow memory” effect—often petroleum-based and non-breathable. Eco-memory foams exist, derived from water or natural oils, and are more porous and breathable (like Waterlily® or Acquafoam). These mattresses are simple to make—the price depends on material quality. Look for multi-layered cores or ones with airflow channels.

price considerations

It’s unrealistic for a company to profit from selling €200 double mattresses made with premium materials, skilled labor, and long-term guarantees, no matter how many they sell. Quality materials cost more, and this affects the final price. If you're on a tight budget, rather than buying a cheap memory foam or pocket spring mattress and risking disappointment, go for simpler designs made from quality materials—like solid foam—provided it’s eco-certified and uses quality fabrics. Think of it this way: spending €100 more over 10 years is just €10/year.

Independent coil mattresses, while high-quality, require expertise and more time to produce, so chasing the cheapest option is a mistake.

After-sales service also affects mattress pricing. A reputable company supports its clients even after purchase. Cutting costs often means no support. For example, we’ve been around for 60 years and usually serve the grandchildren of our first customers. Their satisfaction is our priority—we’ll go the extra mile, even at our own expense, to uphold our name. Many other brands ask customers to ship mattresses (at their own cost) to have them “possibly” inspected or replaced. For private buyers, shipping costs may exceed the value of the mattress.

Mattresses costing between €3000 and €8000, like Simmons Elite, are made with the finest materials, hand-stitched, and feature beautiful quilted surfaces. This artisanal touch justifies the price, if your budget allows it.
