For the year ended 31 March 2025, sales rose 48% year-on-year to £36.8m, while net profit increased 20% to £2.6m. Net assets climbed to £8.87m from £6.81m, with year-end cash improving to £4.9m. The company also reduced outstanding debt by £900,000 and recorded its fourth consecutive record Black Friday, with revenue up 19%.
Chief executive Martin Seeley said trading in the new financial year had begun positively, supported by continued improvements to the retailer's ecommerce platform and operational capabilities.
The business is placing particular emphasis on digital performance in 2026, while also expanding its Brand Ambassador programme, launched in 2025 with support from suppliers including TEMPUR, Sealy and Silentnight.
MattressNextDay has also appointed sleep therapist Natalie Pennicotte-Collier as its first external Resident Sleep Expert, aiming to provide science-led guidance alongside its product offer.
Consumer demand trends highlighted by the retailer include value-led purchasing, cooling technologies and sustainable materials. The company said it has planted more than 150,000 trees through its partnership with Ecologi and recycled over 85,000 mattresses to date.
The retailer also pointed to its third consecutive Online Bed Retailer of the Year title at the 2025 National Bed Federation awards as further evidence of momentum heading into the remainder of 2026.
