Mattress retailer makes positive start to 2026

Beds and mattress retailer MattressNextDay has revealed an encouraging start to the new financial year.

Off the back of a strong 2025, where sales increased by 48% year-on-year to £36.8m in the year to 31 March 2025, exceeding forecasts, with net profit up by 20% to £2.6m, the company also saw net assets increase to £8.87m from £6.81m and year-end cash rising to £4.9m, up from £4.55m in 2024.

The company also strengthened its balance sheet during the year, repaying £900,000 of outstanding debt.

In its latest trading update, the group said prospects for the year to 31 March 2026 were “very encouraging”, supported by continued investment in its ecommerce platform and a strong order book.

Martin Seeley, CEO of MattressNextDay, said: “We move into 2026 in a very positive position. Continued improvements to our ecommerce website and operational capabilities give us confidence as we pursue our growth plans for the next 12 months.”

The results follow the company’s fourth consecutive record-breaking Black Friday, during which revenue increased by 19% year-on-year. MattressNextDay has also been named the National Bed Federation’s Online Bed Retailer of the Year for the third year running.

The retailer said it expects further profitable growth in 2026 as it continues to invest in digital performance and customer experience. A cornerstone of the company’s recent success is its ongoing investment in technology, particularly artificial intelligence.

In June 2025, MattressNextDay further strengthened its market position by launching a Brand Ambassador programme. The initiative brings together ten handpicked sleep industry professionals from top-tier manufacturers, including TEMPUR®, Sleepeezee, Hypnos, Sealy, Silentnight, and Sleepsoul.

Notable ambassadors include Amy Curtis (Sleepeezee), Emma Sharp (TEMPUR®), Robert Evans (Sealy), Sarah Mitchell (Hypnos), David Harris (Silentnight), as well as Stuart Hibbert and Michael Prime from Sleepsoul.
