Highgrove Ashbourne Ortho 2000 Pocket Natural Mattress

Assessed from the specification published by MattressNextDay, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.

The natural fillings are the main draw here. British Cheviot wool, which is fully traceable from farm to shop, helps regulate temperature and adds a natural bounce, so if you're a hot sleeper this should feel less stuffy than an all-foam alternative. Cashmere and silk add a softer surface feel above the firm spring unit. The 2000 pocket springs move independently, which means your body gets support where it needs it and you'll feel less of a partner's movement. The starting price is reasonable for this level of natural filling, at the cost of a shorter guarantee than some brands offer. It suits back and front sleepers who like a firm base best.

Back sleepers
The firm 2000 pocket spring unit gives a level, supportive base, while the cashmere and silk on top add a little surface comfort.

Front sleepers
A firm feel from the independent pocket springs helps stop your midsection sinking too far, which suits anyone who wants a flatter, more supportive surface.

Warm sleepers
Breathable Belgian damask and Cheviot wool, which helps regulate temperature, should feel less stuffy than an all-foam mattress through the night.

Couples
Each spring sits in its own fabric pocket and works independently, so you should feel less of your partner's movement during the night.

Eco-conscious buyers
Natural fillings including British Cheviot wool, traceable from farm to shop, plus silk and cashmere, make this a sensible pick for anyone avoiding synthetic materials.

This is a firm mattress, so lightweight side sleepers may find it too unyielding at the shoulder and hip. If you prefer a cushioned, hugging feel, memory foam or a softer hybrid would suit you better. The 5-year guarantee is also shorter than some brands offer, which may matter if longevity reassurance is a priority.

How firm is the Highgrove Ashbourne Ortho 2000 mattress?

It's rated firm. That generally suits back and front sleepers, and heavier people who need more support. Lightweight side sleepers may find it a little too firm, although the silk, wool and cashmere layers do soften the surface feel slightly.

How many springs does the Highgrove Ashbourne Ortho 2000 have?

It has 2000 pocket springs, each housed in its own fabric pocket. They compress independently, which means the mattress responds to your body shape and transfers less movement across the bed if you share with a partner.

What is the Highgrove Ashbourne Ortho 2000 made of?

It combines a breathable Belgian damask cover with a natural silk layer, 100% traceable British Cheviot wool, cashmere and 2000 pocket springs. The mattress is 33cm deep, made in the UK by an NBF-approved manufacturer, and meets the BS7177: 2008 fire resistance standard for domestic use.

Does the Highgrove Ashbourne Ortho 2000 come with a guarantee?

Yes, MattressNextDay lists a 5-year Highgrove guarantee on this mattress. That's shorter than some brands offer, so factor it in if long-term cover matters to you. No trial period is stated on the listing.

How much does the Highgrove Ashbourne Ortho 2000 cost?

It depends on the size you choose, and the price table on this page shows the current price for each size. It's available in UK Single, Double, King and Super King. Given the natural fillings, the pricing is fair rather than cheap: you're paying for wool, cashmere and silk rather than synthetic layers.
