Highgrove produces the Solar Backcare exclusively for certain bed retailers, so there is no product page on Highgrove's own site and published detail on its construction is thin. At an affordable starting price it may still suit you if you want a low-cost option from an established British bed maker, although if you like to compare specs line by line, the limited information here is a genuine drawback.

Why should you choose this mattress?
Price is the main draw. The Solar Backcare sits firmly in budget territory, which means it could work well for a spare room, a rental property or a first bed where you would rather not spend hundreds more. The six-size range, including the less common Small Single and Small Double, gives you flexibility that some budget mattresses skip. This is a retailer-exclusive model, and Highgrove does not publish a spec sheet for it. If those gaps do not put you off, it is a straightforward, affordable buy.
Key features & layer details
Belgian damask cover
A Belgian damask fabric with a deep quilted finish that holds the outer fabric to the surface layers. It keeps the top of the mattress neat and secure, so the filling stays where it should.
White fibre fillings
A lightweight, high-loft white fibre filling that is hypoallergenic and keeps its shape. It adds a layer of cushioning over the springs and suits you if allergens are a worry, though a fibre filling will feel simpler than foam.
Open coil spring system
A 12.5-gauge open coil system with the springs set out in rows from head to toe, and a thick rod-edge wire around the perimeter to strengthen it. This gives the firm feel the mattress is known for and helps the edges hold up over time.

Best suited for?
Budget buyers
Sitting firmly in budget territory from an established British bed maker, it suits anyone who wants a low-cost mattress without spending hundreds more.
Guest rooms
A spare room rarely needs a premium bed, and this affordable mattress with a 23cm depth and three layers keeps costs down for occasional guests.
Holiday lets and hotels
Rental properties are named as a good fit, and the low price makes it easier to furnish several beds without overspending.
Teenagers
A first bed is mentioned as a good use, and the affordable price suits a growing teenager who may outgrow it, with a 60 night trial for reassurance.
If you research mattresses carefully before buying, this model may frustrate you: Highgrove makes it exclusively for selected bed retailers, so there is no first-party product page or spec sheet to check.
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.

FAQ's
What sizes does the Highgrove Solar Backcare come in?
It is available in six UK sizes: Small Single, Single, Small Double, Double, King and Super King, so it covers everything from a child's bed to a large master bedroom.
How much does the Highgrove Solar Backcare cost?
It depends on the size you choose, and the price table on this page shows the current price for each size. It sits at the budget end of the market.
Why can't I find the Solar Backcare on the Highgrove website?
Highgrove produces some exclusive models for multiple bed retailers, and the Solar Backcare is one of them. It does not appear in either of Highgrove's published ranges, so there is no first-party product page or downloadable spec sheet for this specific mattress.
