Pros and cons
The Little Green Sheep
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.
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.
Vaya
Pros
- Vaya sells memory foam and hybrid mattresses, so you can pick an all-foam build or a hybrid without changing brand.
- You can sleep on the mattress at home for 100 nights before deciding, so the call is made on your own bed.
- The mattress carries a 10 years warranty, which covers the years after the trial ends.
Cons
- No financing is offered, so the $599 queen price has to be paid in full when the order goes in.
- The feel is fixed at a medium level, with no plusher or firmer build to switch between.
- Old mattress haul-away is offered to customers in California, so anyone elsewhere arranges their own removal.
Who each suits
The Little Green Sheep
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
Vaya
Who it suits
- Buyers in the US who want to sleep on a mattress at home for 100 days before committing.
- Shoppers who want an all-foam or a hybrid build to choose between without changing brand.
- Anyone starting with a pillow rather than a bed, since the range covers pillows.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who need to pay in instalments, as no financing is offered.
- Anyone shopping mainly for a pillow, as the 10 years warranty is stated for the mattress.

Questions about each
The Little Green Sheep
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.
Vaya
How much is a Vaya queen mattress?+
The Vaya Mattress in queen is listed at $599, and that figure covers the mattress on its own. Delivery is free on mattresses and pillows sent within the continental US, so shipping does not push the checkout total above the headline price. The pillow starts at $65 if you want a second bed filled in the same order.
How does the sleep trial work?+
You take the mattress home and sleep on it for 100 nights before you decide, so the judgement is made on your own bed rather than on a shop floor. If you are not happy, the return fee is $0, so changing your mind inside the window does not cost a restocking charge.
