Assessed from British Bed Company's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
Pocket springs suit people who want their support to feel responsive rather than spongy, and 1,200 of them in the king size is a healthy count that spreads support across the body. The natural cotton in the cover helps with breathability, which means it should run cooler than a synthetic-topped mattress, welcome news if you sleep warm. The soft-but-supportive feel suits back and side sleepers who dislike a hard surface, although stomach sleepers who need a firmer platform may find it a little forgiving. A 60-night trial gives you time to judge it properly at home, and free next day delivery means you are not left waiting weeks. Availability in EU sizes is a genuinely useful touch for non-standard bed frames.

Who's it NOT for?
If you prefer a distinctly firm mattress, the supportive but soft feel here probably is not for you. Heavier sleepers who need a firmer surface for spinal alignment may also want to look elsewhere. And if detailed spec sheets reassure you, the limited published construction information may be a sticking point.

How firm is the British Bed Company Cotton Pocket 1200 Chenille mattress?
British Bed Company describes it as supportive but soft. In practice that means the pocket springs hold your spine in line while the surface gives a gentler, more cushioned feel, which suits side sleepers and anyone who finds firm mattresses uncomfortable on hips and shoulders.
How many springs does the Cotton Pocket 1200 have?
It contains 1,200 pocket springs, a figure the brand states for the king size, so smaller sizes will contain fewer. Each spring moves independently, which means better contouring to your shape and less motion transfer from a restless partner.
What sizes does the Cotton Pocket 1200 Chenille come in?
Nine sizes: UK Single, Small Double, Double, King and Super King, plus EU Small Single, EU Single, EU Double and EU King. The EU options are handy if you have a continental bed frame, which many UK mattresses do not accommodate.
Does the Cotton Pocket 1200 come with a trial period?
Yes, there is a 60-night trial, so you can sleep on it at home before committing fully. Delivery is free next day, with a 1-3 day transit time.
How much does the Cotton Pocket 1200 Chenille mattress cost?
Prices run from £535 to £855 depending on the size you choose, starting at £535.00. For a pocket sprung mattress with a cotton and chenille cover, that is a mid-range spend rather than a budget one, and the spring count helps justify it.
