Mattress and Bedding Stores in Lebanon: A Buying Guide

A mattress is one of the most important purchases for daily quality of life. Lebanon has both heritage manufacturers (still making bonnell-spring and pocket-spring beds in Beirut suburbs) and showrooms importing Italian, Belgian, and South African brands.

Types of mattress

• Bonnell spring: the traditional, budget-friendly construction.
• Pocket spring: independent springs, better motion isolation.
• Memory foam: conforms to body, can run warm in summer.
• Latex: natural, breathable, long-lasting.
• Hybrid: pocket springs with foam layers — most popular today.

Firmness

• Soft (3–4/10) — side sleepers under 70 kg.
• Medium (5–6/10) — most people.
• Firm (7–8/10) — back sleepers, heavier sleepers.
• Try the mattress for at least 10 minutes in the showroom.

Bedding accessories

• Mattress protector — waterproof, breathable.
• Topper — fix firmness mismatch on existing bed.
• Pillow — match height to shoulder width.
• Duvet — 4-season tog ratings; lighter for summer, warmer for winter.

Tips

• Ask about trial period and return policy.
• Warranty 10 years is standard for premium.
• Delivery and removal of old mattress often included.
• Rotate the mattress every 3 months to extend life.
