Typical prices
Ranges, not quotes. A quote depends on the size of the mattress and how many there are.
| Work | Typical UK price |
|---|---|
| Single mattress | £30 to £50 |
| Double mattress | £40 to £70 |
| King mattress | £50 to £90 |
| Superking mattress | £60 to £110 |
| Divan base or headboard | £20 to £45 |
| Urine treatment, per area | £25 to £60 |
Do every bed in the house in one visit. The minimum charge covers the journey and the setup, so a second and third mattress cost a fraction of the first, and doing them one at a time over a year is the most expensive way to buy this.
What moves the price
- Size, which is the base of the price.
- Construction. Memory foam cannot be wet cleaned and is treated differently.
- Stains and odour, and whether they need treatment at depth rather than on the surface.
- Whether the base and headboard are included at the same visit.
- How many mattresses. The second is always much cheaper than the first.
- Minimum charge, which one mattress on its own usually runs straight into.

Questions about mattress cleaning
Can you get urine out?
Usually, but not from the surface. It goes through the cover into the foam and needs treating at that depth. On an old mattress, replacement is sometimes the honest answer.
How often should a mattress be cleaned?
Every twelve to eighteen months, and more often with allergies, pets on the bed or a child still having accidents.
