Assessed from the specification published by Mattress Man, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
At £379 for a Single, this sits at the affordable end for a pocket sprung mattress with a foam encapsulated edge. That border matters more than it sounds: it means the sleep surface stays supportive right to the sides, so you can sit on the edge or spread out without that rolling-off feeling cheaper models give. The 1000 pocket springs offer proper independent support rather than the connected coils you'd find in a basic open coil bed. If you buy through Mattressman, they list a 60-night trial and free next day delivery, which takes some of the risk out of buying unseen. The unspecified comfort layer is a gap in the spec, but the core construction is solid for the money.
Key Features & what's inside
- Top layer. A premium comfort layer sits on top, although the listing doesn't specify exactly what it's made from. It provides the initial cushioning you'll feel when you lie down.
- Core. A 1000 pocket spring system forms the core, which means each spring responds to your body individually rather than as one unit. You get support where you press down and less motion transfer across the bed.
- Border. A 10cm foam encapsulated border wraps the springs, giving edge-to-edge support and a reinforced sleep surface. In practice, the mattress feels usable across its full width, including when sitting on the side.

Who's it NOT for?
If you like a soft, sink-in feel, the medium firm rating suggests this will feel a little too solid, particularly for lightweight side sleepers. And if you want full transparency on materials before you buy, the unspecified comfort layer may frustrate you. There's also no stated manufacturer guarantee on the listing we've seen.

How firm is the Arthur Sleep Hotel Arthur mattress?
Retailer listings rate it medium firm, a middle-of-the-road feel that suits most back and combination sleepers. The retailer's product page itself doesn't state a firmness, so treat this as a guide rather than a guarantee, and use the trial period if your seller offers one.
How many springs does the Hotel Arthur mattress have?
It has a 1000 pocket spring system at its core. Pocket springs move independently of one another, which means better contouring to your body and less disturbance when a partner moves during the night.
Does the Arthur Sleep Hotel Arthur come with a trial?
Mattressman lists a 60-night trial on this mattress, along with free next day delivery. Bear in mind these are Mattressman's own terms rather than an Arthur Sleep offer, so they won't necessarily apply if you buy elsewhere.
What sizes is the Hotel Arthur mattress available in?
Five UK sizes: Single, Small Double, Double, King and Super King. Prices range from £379 to £599 depending on the size you choose, starting at £379 for the Single.
Does the Hotel Arthur mattress have good edge support?
Yes, this is one of its stronger points. The 10cm foam encapsulated border reinforces the perimeter, which means you can sleep near the edge or sit on the side without it collapsing under you. Couples sharing a smaller size will notice the extra usable width.
