Experience the comfort of a bed in a box

Get a perfect night’s sleep with Hypnia. For over 10 years, it has been committed to making comfort accessible to all.

It was the only brand offering a 100 per cent online compressed rolled mattress in Europe until 2014. 

Now present in several European countries, including France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and the UK, and continues to expand internationally, Hypnia UK is on a mission to make good nights sleep achievable to all, offering a 200-night trial to test your new mattress, including a free return and immediate refund if unsuitable, as well as a 15 year warranty.
