Assessed from the specification published by Archers Sleepcentre, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
The main reasons to choose this one are the firm feel, the flippable design and the EU sizing. If you sleep on your back or front and like a supportive, no-sink surface, a firm open coil mattress at this price is a sensible buy. The white fibre fillings are hypo-allergenic, useful if dust or allergens bother you at night. Archers Sleep Centre lists a 5 year warranty, made up of a 1 year guarantee plus a 4 year manufacturing warranty, along with free day of choice UK delivery. Those are the retailer's terms rather than a Highgrove promise, so check them at the point of purchase.
Key Features & what's inside
- Damask Cover. A quality damask cover with a micro quilted finish, which secures the outer cover to the surface layers. In practice that means the top stays smooth and won't shift about underneath you.
- White Fibre Fillings. A lightweight, high loft material that retains its shape and is hypo-allergenic. It provides the comfort layer here, adding a little softness over the firm springs without trapping allergens.
- Open Coil Springs. Hourglass shaped springs connected into a single unit by a spiral helical wire, an extremely durable traditional design. Because the springs are interconnected, the whole surface responds together, giving that firm, slightly bouncy feel.
- Wire Edge Border. A thick rod edge wire attached around the perimeter of the spring unit. This lets you use the full width of the mattress and stops the border breaking down where you sit or sleep near the edge.

Who's it NOT for?
Lightweight side sleepers may find a firm open coil mattress too unyielding at the shoulder and hip. Couples should also know that interconnected springs transfer movement more than pocket springs do, so you'll feel a partner turning over. And if you have a standard UK bed frame, the EU sizing won't fit.

Is the Highgrove Solar Backcare mattress firm or soft?
It's listed as firm. The open coil spring unit and fibre fillings give a supportive, traditional feel with minimal sink, which suits back and front sleepers, although lightweight side sleepers may find it a little too hard.
What sizes does the Highgrove Solar Backcare come in?
It comes in EU Single, EU Double and EU King. These are European IKEA sizes, not standard UK sizes, so measure your bed frame before ordering. Prices range from £154 to £226 depending on size.
Can you flip the Highgrove Solar Backcare mattress?
Yes. The retailer listing states it's double sided, so it can be flipped as well as rotated. Regularly turning a double sided mattress helps the fillings settle evenly and can extend its usable life.
Does the Highgrove Solar Backcare come with a guarantee?
Archers Sleep Centre lists a 5 year warranty, made up of a 1 year guarantee plus a 4 year manufacturing warranty. These are the terms stated on that retailer's page, so confirm them wherever you buy.
How thick is the Highgrove Solar Backcare mattress?
It's 23cm deep. That's a fairly standard depth for an open coil mattress, and most fitted sheets will accommodate it comfortably.
