Silentnight: Unlocking the Power of Sleep Since 1946
Founded in 1946 by Tom and Joan Clarke, Silentnight has emerged as the UK's most trusted sleep brand, dedicated to inspiring a nation of unique sleepers. Our journey began with Clarke's Mattresses, evolving into Silentnight, a name synonymous with quality sleep solutions. In 1986, our iconic Hippo & Duck characters were introduced, becoming beloved symbols of comfort and tranquility.
As pioneers in sleep innovation, we expanded our range in 2002 to include duvets and pillows, now adorning the beds of 1 in 5 people across the UK. In 2012, our brand underwent a transformation, reflecting our unwavering commitment to quality and earning our first Which Best Buy accolade. The launch of the Big Change system technology in 2013 marked a significant step towards sustainability, reducing carbon emissions by over 1 million kilograms of CO2.
In 2020, we reaffirmed our dedication to sleepers everywhere with a benefit-led brand positioning, prioritizing comfort over springs. Our commitment to sustainability was further solidified in 2022 when we became the first sleep brand to join the Science Based Targets Initiative and The Climate Pledge. At Silentnight, we're not just selling sleep products; we're fostering a culture of wellness and sustainability, one night's rest at a time.
