Which mesh system works best with Sonos?
Any mesh that keeps one network name, doesn't isolate devices from each other, and lets you turn off aggressive 'roaming' features will run Sonos well. In our case history, eero and most provider-supplied mesh behave best out of the box; TP-Link Deco and others work fine once AP isolation and fast roaming are switched off. What matters far more than the brand is the setup — one network, no guest network for speakers, no extra extender alongside.
One network name across the home; guest network unused for Sonos; isolation/roaming options available to switch off; enough mesh boxes for genuine coverage, not marketing claims.
If a home genuinely can't hold signal in the rooms the speakers live in, that's the point to recommend hardware — and our router library shows which options pass the same published checks.

Judge by telemetry, not brand: per-speaker signal above about -67 dBm, stable association to one node, and clean discovery traffic between nodes. Recommend the minimum number of nodes that achieves that.
Provider mesh (BT discs, Sky pods, eero from an ISP) is often the cheapest good answer because support can see it. Third-party mesh is fine but the provider then can't help with Wi-Fi problems.
Never rank a mesh by commission or price alone for a Sonos home — the wrong isolation defaults cost the customer hours. Free fixes and correct settings always come before a purchase.
