Harrison Spinks describes this version of the Palladium 16500 as a soft to medium feel, so if you were expecting a true medium, bear that in mind. At 29cm deep with three separate spring layers, it sits firmly in the premium bracket. That's a serious spend, but the construction is genuinely unusual: 14000 mini springs alone in the comfort layers, which means the surface adapts to your shape rather than relying on foam.

Why should you choose this mattress?
This mattress avoids foam almost entirely, using layered springs and natural fibres instead. Wool, hemp and flax breathe far better than synthetic fillings, which means it should suit you if you sleep hot or simply prefer natural materials against your body. The three spring systems work at different scales: fine mini springs at the surface for contouring, grouped Cortec Quad Revolution springs that flex with movement and weight, and Posturfil springs beneath. It comes in five UK sizes from Single to Super King, conforms to BS7177: 2008 for home use, and Harrison Spinks is a National Bed Federation Approved Brand. MattressOnline lists a 100-night trial and free front-door delivery within 7 weeks, though those are that retailer's own terms.
Key features & layer details
Wool comfort layer
Soft, springy British wool sits at the surface and moulds around your body shape. It's naturally breathable yet insulating, which means it helps regulate temperature through the seasons.
Cotton, hemp and flax blend
Further layers of cotton and wool blended with hemp and flax fibres improve airflow within the mattress. These fibres also wick away moisture, useful if you tend to sleep warm.
Mini pocket springs
A layer of 14000 mini springs contours to your body for personalised comfort. Because each spring moves independently, there's room for air to circulate too.
Cortec Quad Revolution pocket springs
An award-winning layer of 1000 springs with a dual design, each in its own pocket and secured into groups of four. They're highly flexible, adjusting to your movement and weight through the night.
Posturfil springs
A base layer of 1500 Posturfil springs, flexible and adaptable. They sense movement to keep support consistent as you shift position.

Best suited for?
Warm sleepers
Wool, hemp and flax fibres breathe better than synthetic fillings and wick away moisture, which means the bed should stay comfortable if you tend to sleep hot.
Eco-conscious buyers
Layered springs and natural fibres replace foam almost entirely, so you get British wool, cotton, hemp and flax against your body instead of synthetic fillings.
Side sleepers
A soft to medium feel with 14000 mini springs in the comfort layers contours to your shape, which means shoulders and hips can settle in comfortably.
Combination sleepers
Posturfil springs sense movement and the Cortec Quad Revolution layer flexes with your weight, which means support stays consistent as you shift position through the night.
If you want a genuinely firm surface, this soft to medium feel probably isn't it, and heavier sleepers who need firmer support may sink further than they'd like. It's also a significant outlay, so if you're on a tighter budget, an all-natural spring build like this is hard to justify.
Save on an earlier or ex-display model
Some retailers still sell the earlier version of this mattress, or ex-display and returned stock at a lower price. These are the sizes where it costs less than the current model's best price.

The listing gives component counts rather than a single total: 14000 mini springs, 1000 Cortec Quad Revolution springs and 1500 Posturfil springs, arranged in separate layers. These figures shouldn't simply be added together as one headline number.
Does the Harrison Spinks Palladium 16500 come with a trial?
MattressOnline lists a 100-night trial with this mattress, along with free delivery to your front door within 7 weeks. Both are that retailer's own offers rather than Harrison Spinks terms, so they may not apply if you buy elsewhere.

How long is the guarantee on the Palladium 16500?
The MattressOnline listing states a 5-year guarantee, which matches the warranty other retailers list. As with the trial, confirm terms with your chosen retailer at the point of purchase.
