It's the companion of all my nights: my mattress deserves to be pampered.
The cleanliness of a mattress has a direct impact on my well-being and health. Dust mites, bacteria, and allergens can be easily eliminated with regular maintenance.
And when I know that a mattress for two people costs an average of £510 in the UK, that's a good reason to keep it in good condition. Not to mention that I'll sleep better on a healthy mattress!
At Yoojo, we don't know any sand merchants. However, we can tell you how much it typically costs to have your mattress cleaned since our mattress cleaning service at home has already helped over 70 brits.
In this guide, I’ll explain all the prices associated with cleaning a mattress at home. I'll also show you how to find the lowest rates to keep my cleaning budget in check for the year.
Average general price for cleaning a mattress at home
Let's get straight to the point with the key information: the average general price for a mattress cleaning service at home.
Here’s the budget to consider based on the type of provider I choose:
Specialized cleaning company:
Home help on Yoojo:
For professional cleaning companies: I averaged all the rates charged by specialized companies online.
For home helps from the personal service sector: I averaged the 72 mattress cleaning jobs that have been completed on our home cleaning service platform.
Average price per hour
And to be even more precise, here’s the average hourly rate to quickly assess the cost of the service:
Specialized cleaning company:
Home help on Yoojo:
Providers set their own rates, Yoojo does not impose prices on providers. There is no minimum package. The price depends on the job to be done.
Providers responding to my ad are often my neighbours: this drastically reduces travel costs.
Providers can come for just one hour: No unnecessary half-day packages!
Everything is digitalized on Yoojo: this means that I pay less in fees than with a traditional agency.
Average rates by mattress type
To calculate the cleaning rate at home, I need to know the type of mattress I have.
That way, when preparing the quote, the provider can make the most accurate offer based on my needs.
Yes, there’s a price difference based on my mattress:
| Type of Mattress | Average Rate on Yoojo |
|---|---|
| Spring Mattress | £46 |
| Memory Foam Mattress | £57 |
| Latex Mattress | £63 |
| Hybrid Mattress | £65 |
| Polyurethane Foam Mattress | £50 |
| Futon Mattress | £40 |
| Inflatable or Vinyl Mattress | £30 |
Mattresses that are too damaged cannot be cleaned. They risk deteriorating further.
To avoid this degradation over time, I recommend having my mattress cleaned at home regularly.
There are other types of mattresses for which home cleaning will not be possible: electric mattresses, silk mattresses, feather or down mattresses, orthopaedic mattresses, natural fibre mattresses, and waterbeds.
