Prices of quality mattresses
Mattress Prices
How much does a mattress cost? Or rather, how much should a mattress cost to be good? While it is true that we must always consider what kind of mattresses we are talking about, I will not shy away from giving a precise answer to the question: how much does a quality double mattress cost? Well. An excellent double mattress costs between 600 and 1000 euros, while a decent mattress is unlikely to be found below the 450 to 600 euro range; in this price bracket, you will have to make do, meaning it may be less durable, especially if it has multiple layers, special coverings, etc. A mattress costing over a thousand euros is of very high quality, but it is important to check its features.
Let's look at some examples of mattresses, examining the differences that affect their price.
Today, the price of mattresses online is around 500 to 700 euros for a double mattress. This is the price on various single-brand websites (meaning they exclusively sell their own product, so you cannot compare the price elsewhere), because this is what the average consumer expects to spend today. This means that if you are looking for the right mattress for your well-being and do not settle for appearances, you must be prepared to invest more, between 1000 and 2000 euros for the mid-to-high-end range. But where does this difference lie? Is it really necessary to spend more? Let's look at some examples of mattresses by type and their price ranges:
- pocket-free memory foam
- pocket springs with or without memory foam;
- orthopedic springs;
- natural latex.
BEST MEMORY FOAM MATTRESSES FOR VALUE FOR MONEY
Memory Bamboo Gabrielli
Are you looking for a good memory foam mattress at an affordable price? Or would you prefer to upgrade to a well-structured mattress? Let's look at the first case, then the differences with a superior mattress. A double Memory mattress costs on average between 500 and 1800 euros, so around 1000/1200 euros is the average cost of a good Memory mattress. The best value for money is found in the Memory Gel Bamboo mattress, well below the average price, despite having the features of a higher-end mattress, with firm support and not as soft as traditional memory foam. Here is the best deal: Best-priced Memory mattress

IMPORTANT
☑️ To get a cost estimate, you must know the mattress size because a few centimeters could change the price by 10 to 20%;
☑️ Comparing the best mattress brands and manufacturers can be interesting, because the brand name could affect the price.
☑️ The quality of the base of the bed and its dimensions should also be considered before buying a good mattress.
mattress prices and differences
Quality of materials, their origin and technology, quality and labor time for production, after-sales service
Quality of materials. This topic deserves a dedicated website! Let's start with the cover fabric, which in the cheapest case can be the worst polyester, practically plastic (non-woven fabric) and recycled cotton (without knowing its origin), washed and hopefully sterilized before being spun to make the fabric. A good fabric can also be a blend (60% cotton, 40% polyester, for example); 100% cotton deteriorates quickly because it is not very elastic, but it must be well-made and preferably certified (OEKO-TEX is the most famous certification). A mattress has 4 m2 (square meters) of fabric, so in choosing the fabric, a company can save, and a lot.
Even if a mattress is comfortable, it could be very hot like some memory foam mattresses (read more). This would negate any benefit of the mattress since you would not be able to sleep in a sweat bath.
Inside the fabric is the padding, made of noble fibers such as wool (or kapok) and cotton in climate-controlled mattresses, and polyester in hypoallergenic mattresses. There are also huge differences here in quality and origin.

Recognizing in advance that a mattress was made cheaply is not always so obvious...
Thecore of the mattress, if made of advanced rubber (memory foam, latex, etc.), is divided by density and material quality (whether eco-friendly or not, made in Italy or elsewhere). In the case of latex, whether it is natural or mixed with other additives to give rigidity to the internal slab, determining the mattress's support. If it is memory foam, it could simply be polyurethane (foam rubber) with "slow memory" (meaning with the handprint effect), therefore containing petroleum polymers and not being breathable. Polyurethanes and/or memory foam can also be made from eco-friendly polymers, such as water, natural essential oils, and be very porous and therefore more breathable, like Waterlily® or open-cell materials such as Aquafoam. The production of these mattresses is very simple, so the price is determined by the quality of the materials. Slabs made with multiple layers or with through-channels for ventilation.
considerations on mattress prices
For a company to make a profit selling double mattresses costing 200 euros, made with quality materials, skilled labor, and guaranteed over time is unthinkable, even if they sold a thousand a day. Quality raw materials have a cost that is reflected in the final price of the mattress. If you have a low budget or want to spend less, rather than getting a memory foam or pocket-spring mattress at a lower price and taking a risk, it is preferable to opt for less complex mattresses that require less labor, but with quality materials, made only of rubber, for example, provided it is eco-friendly, and with certified fabrics. Also consider that investing 100 euros more means spending 10 euros a year for your mattress, based on a lifespan of 10 years.

Pocket-spring mattresses, in addition to being of high quality, also require expertise and more time to manufacture, so looking for a cheaper pocket-spring mattress is practically suicide.
After-sales service can affect the price of mattresses. A serious company takes care of its customers even after the sale; saving at the source also means not having service. Take our example: born 60 years ago, we often find ourselves serving the grandchildren of our first customers, and their satisfaction is fundamental to us. We are ready to resolve any problem, even at our own expense if necessary, safeguarding our good name. Many companies, on the other hand, resolve problems by asking the customer to return the mattresses at their own expense to examine and "eventually" repair or replace them at their discretion. Then, for a private individual, shipping a mattress costs more than purchasing it.
The most expensive mattresses, between 3000 and 8000 euros, such as Simmons Elite mattresses, for example, in addition to being made with the best raw materials, are hand-embroidered and have beautiful surface quilting that makes the mattress imposing and elegant, so the artisanal labor justifies the price, obviously for those who have the financial means.
