Pros and cons

Pros

  • A long trial of 100 days nights at home, well above the 100 typical of the mattress ranking.
  • Return postage is free at £0, so a trial costs nothing extra if the fit is wrong.
  • Support runs on email, phone and chat, giving more ways to reach a person than most brands in the ranking.
  • The catalogue covers latex, innerspring and organic mattress types with a 10 cm profile on the cot bed model.
  • Bedding beside the mattress comes in sheets, duvets and duvet covers, in cotton and wool, starting at £35.

Cons

  • The 5 years warranty is below the 10 across the mattress ranking, and well short of lifetime cover.
  • Delivery reaches GB only, so buyers outside the UK are not covered.
  • Firmness covers medium and firm, so there is no soft or medium-firm option.

Who it suits

  • UK households shopping a natural-material mattress with a long home trial
  • Parents furnishing a cot bed who want cotton and wool bedding in the same order

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone outside GB, who will not find delivery
  • Buyers who want a soft or medium-firm feel, since firmness covers medium and firm
  • Anyone after a very long warranty, given 5 years against lifetime cover

How it compares on our data

The Little Green Sheep sits high where trials matter most. Its 100 nights trial places it at position 18 of the 83 brands ranked on that measure, in a group where the upper quartile also sits at 100 and the median is 100. Warranty is the weaker side. 5 years puts it at position 52 of the 73 brands ranked on length, where the median runs to 10 and the upper quartile reaches 23.75. Free delivery is common in this group, and the Little Green Sheep offers it, matching the 82.2% share of mattress brands that do. Taken together, the picture is a brand that makes the decision easy and covers it for less time than most rivals. Coop Sleep Goods offers a similar 1 to 5 years range, and Newton Baby runs a lifetime warranty if length matters more to you than trial length.

Core features

The core of the offer is time and delivery. The Little Green Sheep gives a trial of 100 days nights, and the returns window matches at 100 days, so the two numbers line up rather than one being narrower than the other. Behind the mattress sits a warranty of 5 years. Free delivery is included, and free delivery starts from orders of £50, which is a low bar for a mattress order. Build is a 10 cm profile on the cot bed mattress, with firmness options covering medium and firm. For a UK buyer assembling a nursery or a first bedroom, that combination of a long trial, free delivery and a simple height and firmness choice covers most of the decision.

The company behind it

The Little Green Sheep trades as Green Sheep Group Ltd, with its headquarters in the United Kingdom. It was founded in 2006, so there is a long trading record behind the mattress and bedding range. Support is broad for a brand of this size: you can reach the company through email, phone and chat, which is a wider set of routes than the 94.7% share of mattress brands that offer email alone. A help centre alongside phone and chat means warranty questions on a 5 years term can be handled in writing or in conversation.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the trial period on the mattress?+

The Little Green Sheep offers a trial of 100 days nights at home, which is longer than the 100 across the mattress ranking. The return window is the same length at 100 days, so the two limits do not clash. Sleeping on it for months is a realistic option here.

What does returning a mattress cost?+

Return postage is free, listed at £0. That matters more for a mattress than for smaller bedding, because the cost of sending one back would usually fall on the buyer. Alongside a trial of 100 days nights, the free return removes most of the risk from trying it.

How long is the warranty?+

The warranty runs for 5 years. That is a shorter term than the 10 typical of the mattress ranking, and much shorter than the lifetime cover on offer from Newton Baby. Reading the terms before purchase is worth it if cover length drives the choice.

Where does delivery go, and is it free?+

Delivery is free on the listed delivery policy, and the free delivery threshold is £50, so most mattress orders clear it easily. The delivery markets are GB, which means the offer covers the UK only. Buyers elsewhere would need to check arrangements separately.

Which materials are used?+

The materials listed across the bedding range are cotton and wool. On the mattress side the range covers latex, innerspring and organic, so natural and organic constructions sit alongside latex and innerspring. The cot bed mattress has a 10 cm profile.

How firm is the mattress?+

Firmness options cover medium and firm. There is no soft or medium-firm choice in that list, so a shopper wanting a softer surface would look elsewhere. Medium is the softer of the two on offer, and firm suits heavier sleepers or a cot bed setup.

What bedding is available alongside the mattress?+

The bedding range covers sheets, duvets and duvet covers, starting at £35. Buying sheets, duvets, duvet covers and pillows in the same order as the mattress keeps the materials consistent, and the price from figure makes it an easy add-on for a nursery or first bedroom.

What are the support options?+

Support runs through email, phone and chat. A help centre, phone, chat and email covers most questions, including warranty claims on a 5 years term. For a brand trading as Green Sheep Group Ltd in the United Kingdom, that is a broad set of routes.
