Why Buy a Mattress in Cork?

Cork offers something unique in Ireland's mattress market — a genuine local manufacturer and specialised showrooms.

Local Manufacturing

Swan Beds has been making mattresses in Cork since 1927. Buying direct from their Togher factory means you skip retailer markups entirely. You're also supporting local jobs and reducing transport emissions.

Personal Service Culture

Cork stores tend to offer more personalised attention than Dublin's busier retail parks. Snooze's Dream Mapping takes this further with technology-assisted sleep consultations that take the guesswork out of mattress selection.

Faster Local Delivery

Cork-based stores often deliver within days rather than weeks. Swan Beds and EZ Living both warehouse stock locally, meaning your new mattress can arrive while you're still waiting for an online order to ship.

Custom Sizes Available

Period properties, attic conversions, and unusual bed frames are common in Cork's older housing. Swan Beds can manufacture custom sizes that online mattress-in-a-box brands simply cannot offer.

Test Premium Brands

Snooze is Cork's authorised TEMPUR retailer — the only way to properly test these €2,000+ mattresses before buying. You can also try King Koil, Odearest, and Irish-made Joya mattresses at EZ Living.

After-Sales Support

If there's an issue with your mattress, you have a local store to visit. Cork shops know their reputation depends on word-of-mouth in a close-knit city — they're motivated to keep you happy.

How to Test a Mattress Properly

You've made the trip to a Cork showroom — here's how to make the most of it.

1

Arrive prepared

Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Bring your partner if you share a bed. Tell the staff your sleep position, any pain issues, and your budget upfront — they can guide you to relevant options.

2

Lie down properly

Don't just sit on the edge. Lie in your actual sleep position for at least 10 minutes per mattress. It feels awkward with shoppers walking past, but it's the only way to truly assess comfort.

3

Check pressure points

Side sleepers: your hip and shoulder should sink in without excessive pressure. Back sleepers: there should be support under your lower back. If anything feels numb or uncomfortable, it's not right.

4

Test edge support

Sit on the edge as if getting out of bed. Does it collapse or hold firm? Couples should both lie near the edges — you need the full surface, not just the middle.

5

Ask about the trial period

Snooze offers 60 nights, EZ Living offers 100. These comfort trials let you return if the mattress doesn't work at home — far more reliable than a showroom test.

6

Don't buy on day one

Visit at least two stores. Sleep on your decision overnight. The right mattress is a 10-year investment — an extra day of research is worth it.
