To answer this question, we tested and analyzed the best sellers of the Sleepwell brand.

Sleepwell vs Other Mattress Brands - A Summary
The Indian mattress market is saturated with many old and new companies. With bed-in-box mattresses becoming increasingly popular, these numbers have only gone up. Out of tens of manufacturers, we have considered these five mattress brands consistently delivering value to their users.
Best Overall Mattress - Sunday Mattress
It gives the quality of offline brands such as Sleepwell and Kurlon at a price (up to 30% cheaper) and convenience (100 nights trial) of an online brand. In addition, it is a large online brand that is profitable. So, your money is safe. The customer ratings are excellent.
Most Credible Competition in the Offline Space - Kurlon
Kurlon is an established player, and it introduced rubberized coir mattresses in the Indian market. Like Sleepwell, it also sells mainly through retail stores, and we now see it foraying into the online selling space.
Cheapest Internet Brand – Wakefit
Wakefit is known for inexpensive memory foam mattresses and sells bed-in-box mattresses through online channels. If you are looking for a very cheap and compressed product (we do not recommend compressed mattresses because their life is short), then Wakefit is perfect. However, the company has been under losses for several years and is heavily dependent on venture capital funding.
Sleepwell Mattresses - Detailed Analysis & Review
With over five decades of being in the market, Sleepwell is one of the trusted mattress manufacturers. Apart from mattresses, it sells bed furnishing items such as bed sheets, pillows, and cushions. The strength of Sleepwell is also mainly due to its extensive dealer network, and it has more than 4000 exclusive retail outlets. Thus, it can reach consumers through its retail strength.
Sheela Foams owns the Sleepwell brand, which is known for robust policies and strong management. It is one of the few mattress manufacturers that are profitable yearly. Recently, they have expanded by entering markets in Spain and Australia.
When should you consider Sleepwell?
In a word, it is a safe choice. It has been around for 40-50 years. With a price range from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 1.8 lakhs, it accommodates a broad spectrum of buyers. The company continuously innovations to bring new models to the market. The strength of the brand lies in the depth of its physical presence through stores. It is known for its quality PU foam mattresses and has maintained high standards in its products and services.
Why should you not consider Sleepwell?
We think the sheer number of mattress variants dilutes the brand value since they create confusion among buyers. Constantly bringing new models creates confusion and buying hesitancy.
Sleepwell comes across as expensive since newer players like Sunday Mattress offer the same features at a significantly lesser price. The lack of a trial period puts off many new users and provides a much lower warranty period than the industry standard.
Bestsellers of Sleepwell Mattress
Out of the 23 mattress variants that Sleepwell had at our review, we tested the best three models - Spinetech, Esteem, and Naturalle.
Sleepwell Spinetech Mattress
What is it Made of - It is a medium-firm mattress built for spine alignment and posture support. It has five layers with HR foam for pressure relief and rebonded foam for help. There is also a quilting layer for cushioning. The top has air mesh knit fabric for an airy surface.
Mattress Specs
- Material - Foam or Coir
- Thickness - 6, 8, 10 inches
- Firmness - Medium firm
- Warranty - 5 years
- Price - Rs. 19,253 - Rs. 66,099
Who is it for - This mattress is most likely to suit people who suffer from backaches, joint pains, and improper spinal alignment. If you are looking for an orthopaedic mattress, Spinetech should be on your list. Spinetech is also available with a pillow top surface if you want a fluffier version. SpineTech Air and SpineTech Air Luxury have integrated a more luxurious feel with contour hugging and a caressing sense.
Although, if you have spinal injuries or want a firmer bed, then Spinetech can come across as a relatively softer mattress.
Sleepwell Orthopaedic Mattress
What is it Made of - We found Sleepwell Ortho Pro to be one of its popular memory foam choices among users, and it has seven layers. Along with memory foam for contouring, it has HR foam for adding a bit of bounce, a layer of individual pocket springs to enhance motion isolation, and a foam wall for making edges more reinforced.
Mattress Specs
- Material - Memory Foam, Pocket Spring
- Thickness - 6, 8, 10 inches
- Firmness - Medium firm
- Warranty - 7 years
- Price - Rs. 21,009 - Rs. 62,211
Who is it for - We found this suitable for nearly all sleepers. But you will love this mattress if you are a side sleeper or a combination sleeper. But if you sleep on your stomach, you can avoid this.
As far as Sleepwell mattresses go, it falls in the mid-price bracket. However, memory foam mattresses are cheaply available from most online brands like Wakefit, and the heavily discounted beds attract many shoppers.
Sleepwell Naturalle Mattress
What is it Made of -Made for ultimate comfort and luxury from the house of Sleepwell, Naturalle is among the brand's most expensive mattresses. It has nine layers, including natural latex foam, rubberized coir, pocket spring, and HR foam. The top is made of European knitted fabric.
Mattress Specs
- Material - Latex Foam, Pocket Spring
- Thickness - 9, 10, 12 inches
- Firmness - Medium firm
- Warranty - 7 years
- Price - Rs. 48,664 - Rs. 1,33,664
Who is it for - Made from natural latex foam, Naturalle caters to a wide range of people with different sleeping habits. It can also accommodate users who weigh above 100 kgs. However, it is not for budget and value seekers. Notice that the starting price of a single mattress itself is over Rs. 48,000. Sleepwell has targeted people who seek luxury and fine living.
Sleepwell vs Competitors
Sleepwell vs Sunday Mattress
Sunday Mattress has a competitive advantage over Sleepwell and other mattress makers because its best-in-class products are sold at a genuinely affordable price, despite not getting in the discount game.
What We Like
- Sunday makes only three variants in a cluttered market, preventing decision-making fatigue among new buyers.
- It has priced its mattresses from approx. Rs. 7,000 to Rs. 49,000. We found them the most affordable prices for the features and quality provided.
- It uses the best quality and certified natural materials in its products.
- It does not compress any of its mattresses. Hence, its products do not go through the associated damages.
- A 100-night trial period with full refunds on return.
- Ten years warranty, which is one of the highest in the industry.
What We Don't Like
- It does not offer discounts, and this might deter buyers who are value seekers.
- It only sells through its website and is not on other shopping portals like Amazon or Flipkart. So, many buyers are not even aware of the brand itself.
- Sunday Mattress is also not available in physical stores. This makes its presence limited.
Sunday Ortho Memory Mattress
Sunday Ortho Memory targets users who suffer from back and joint pains. It has 1 inch of 65 D memory foam and 5 inches of 32D HR foam for support. With a slightly higher firmness of 7, we feel it will be preferred by sleepers suffering from chronic back pain.
Its queen-size mattress, priced at Rs. 13,999, will appeal to those looking for an orthopaedic memory foam mattress on a pocket-friendly budget.
Sunday Ortho Latex Mattress
Sunday Ortho Latex is power-packed and excellent for co-sleeping with a partner or a kid. It is made with 2 inches of 65D latex foam, 1 inch of 55D memory foam and 5 inches of 32D HR foam. Available only in 8 inches, its queen-size variant is available at Rs. 22,999. It scores above Sleepwell on price, warranty, and use of natural products such as latex foam and organic cotton cover.
Sunday Latex Plus Mattress
Sunday Latex is a full latex mattress that uses certified Latex from Belgium and organic cotton. It has 2 inches of 65 D latex foam on top and 6 inches of 70D latex foam at the bottom. With its 5 zone ortho design, it is aimed at new-age customers looking at products that are superior in quality and five-star hotel quality comfort but also do not feel overpriced. No wonder its users love this mattress since you can get a queen-sized one at only Rs. 39,999.
What We Say
All three testers loved their Sunday mattresses and had positive experiences while sleeping. We recommend Sunday as quickly the best bet among mattresses for Indian sleepers. The quality of its beds can be determined by the fact that it has thousands of 5-star ratings and excellent reviews from its users.
However, the Indian consumer is also a value seeker, and the lack of deals and discounts might prevent some users from keeping Sunday on their shortlist. Our analysis shows that Sleepwell gains over Sunday Mattress because of its extensive retail reach and stellar brand reputation.
Sleepwell vs Kurlon
Kurlon is another established player. Banking on a wide range of mattress models, it currently has 11 models. Apart from mattresses, it also sells pillows and mattress toppers. We tested its three beds - Sparkle, Dream Sleep, and Spine Therapy.
What We Like
- It is a recognized name and an old brand.
- It has an extensive retail reach.
- Like Sleepwell, it offers a wide range of mattresses for all buyers.
What We Don't Like
- The mattress variants are not sharply differentiated, leading to much confusion among shoppers.
- The mattresses are expensive compared to brands like Sunday for similar features.
- We found the lower-priced mattresses as very basic with minimum features.
- Kurlon also does not offer any trial period like Sunday.
Kurlon Inspire Mattress
Kurlon Inspire Mattress is a basic mattress aimed at people who want to buy a cheap but branded mattress. It is a medium firm foam mattress with two years of warranty and comes in 4 and 5-inch thicknesses. The queen-size bed is priced at Rs. 13,499.
Kurlon Dream Sleep Mattress
Kurlon Dream Sleep is a spring mattress with five layers and comes in 6 inches of thickness. Quilting on both sides lends to its durability. The core is made of Bonnell spring which is then layered with Thermobond felt and PU foam on both sides. The overall average in performance, its queen-size mattress is available for Rs. 18,899.
Kurlon Spine Therapy Mattress
Kurlon Spine Therapy Mattress is best suited for users with back and spine issues. It is built with memory foam on top and high-density foam at the core for firm support. Offering seven years of warranty, it is made only in 6 inches of thickness.
What We Say
Kurlon and Sleepwell are both established mattress companies, and they both have a vast retail presence and are available in many cities across India. Although, we could see that Kurlon has lower brand value for consumers when compared to Sleepwell.
If you are a buyer that likes to see and touch your mattress physically, we feel Kurlon is a trustworthy competitor to Sleepwell. It has still not gained much foothold in the online space, as its mattresses are expensive compared to other makers like Wakefit and Sunday.
Sleepwell vs Peps
Peps is one of the top-selling spring-based mattresses in the Indian market. It is known for high-quality spring mattresses. But it is present mainly in South India. We included the three beds in the sleep test: Spring Koil, Spine Guard, and Organica.
What We Like
- Peps is known for good quality spring mattresses.
- It also has extensive retail reach in South India.
What We Don't Like
- We found a lack of any significant presence in other parts of India.
- The mattresses seem expensive, especially with other online brands.
- Peps also does not offer any trial period.
- It does not offer any exchange on online sales.
Peps Spring Koil Mattress
Peps Spring Koil Mattress is a spring mattress with an engineered spring core for firm support and flexibility. The bed is reversible and is available in varying thicknesses of 5,6,8 and 10 inches. The queen-sized variant sells at Rs. 24,880 and comes in 4 colours.
Peps Spine Guard Mattress
Peps Spine Guard Mattress is a Bonnell spring orthopaedic mattress suitable for all sleeping positions. Its top layers have 100% memory foam with an innerspring core. Available in 5, 6, and 8 inches, it offers ten years of warranty. The core is made of an innerspring core with reinforced foam layers at the bottom and protective layers over it.
Peps Organica Mattress
Peps Organica is an eco-friendly mattress made of 8 inches in thickness and uses chemical-free bio cotton and eco latex. The core is made of pocketed spring unit, with reinforced layers of foam and felt at the bottom. With ten years of warranty, it is expensive and sells its queen-size mattress at Rs. 66,766.
What We Say
While doing the research, we found that Peps has stronger consumer connections in some areas than Sleepwell. However, on the downside, it is still known as a spring mattress maker, limiting the consideration set for users who want to buy foam mattresses.
In mattress-to-mattress comparison, we found Peps to be at par with Sleepwell regarding the features and construction of its products. But Peps does not possess the reach and brand reputation of Sleepwell. Overall, Sleepwell seemed to us a safer and better bet.
Sleepwell vs Wakefit
Wakefit popularized the bed-in-box mattress in India. It offers cheap memory foam mattresses for first-time users and young professionals who frequently move cities. However, it faces stiff competition from other companies like Sunday offering top quality and technologically advanced beds at comparable prices.
The main USP of Wakefit is its aggressive pricing, fast delivery, deals and discounts running throughout the year. We tested 3 of its best-selling mattresses.
What We Like
- Wakefit has low-priced memory foam mattresses.
- It is present on all major online e-commerce sites.
- Like Sunday, it also offers a 100-night trial.
What We Don't Like
- Its products are cheap but not very high in quality.
- Other online brands like Sunday offer much better alternatives at similar prices.
Wakefit Orthopaedic Memory Foam Mattress
Wakefit Orthopaedic Memory Foam mattress is a medium-firm mattress and can be used on both sides. The top layer is memory foam, followed by a 7-pressure zone layer to lend targeted support to the body.
My partner did not find it very suitable. The edges felt a little weak in construction, affecting comfort if you like sitting at the edges of your mattress. The odour on decompressing was also a little off-putting. It stayed for a couple of days.
Wakefit Dual Comfort Mattress Mattress
Wakefit Dual Comfort mattresses can be used on both sides. One side is medium firm for adequate support, while the other is medium soft for those who want soft comfort. It has two layers, one of 7 pressure zone layers and the other of high resilience foam.
The fact that it can be used on both sides is an added attraction, especially for its targeted buyers. I was hoping for a comfortable mattress that did not feel initially, and it got better after 3 to 4 days, but not by much.
Wakefit 7-Zone Latex Mattress
Wakefit 7-Zone Latex Mattress is a medium firm, bouncy mattress. It has three layers in its construction. The bottom is high-resilience foam with a memory foam layer, and the top layer is made of a 7-zone latex foam sheet.
While inexpensive, I felt compromises had been made on the overall quality. There are better mattresses like Sunday Latex Plus available in the market.
What We Say
Wakefit brought excitement to the market with its mattresses only in bed-in-box variants. It was coupled with very low-priced (especially after discounts) products and attracted the population that were prime buyers of non-branded mattresses.
If we make a mattress-to-mattress comparison, Sleepwell fares much better on every factor, including features, layers used in making the mattress, and quality of materials. These two brands target very different consumers.
