Assessed from the specification published by Archers Sleepcentre, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
This mattress makes sense if you need EU Single dimensions and don't want to spend much getting them. The open coil springs, an interconnected unit joined by a helical wire, give a traditional, durable feel, and the wire edge border means you can use the full width of the sleeping surface without the sides collapsing. Yes, the stitchbond polyester cover is a low-cost fabric, but the diamond quilting keeps the fillings secured in place. Being flippable is a genuine plus at this price, as many budget mattresses are one-sided. Archers Sleep Centre lists free day-of-choice UK delivery, and the 5-year cover comprises a 1-year guarantee plus a 4-year manufacturing warranty.
Key Features & what's inside
- Stitchbond Cover. A hard-wearing, low-cost polyester fabric with a diamond quilted finish. The stitching secures the cover to the surface fillings, which means the top layer stays put rather than shifting about as you move.
- White Fibre Fillings. A lightweight, high-loft filling that holds its shape well over time and is hypoallergenic, helpful if you're sensitive to dust or allergens. It provides the soft comfort layer between you and the springs.
- Open Coil Springs. Hourglass-shaped springs connected into a single unit by a spiral helical wire, a traditional and durable construction. Because the springs are linked, you'll feel more movement transfer than with pocket springs, though at this price that's a fair trade.
- Wire Edge Border. A thick rod of wire attached around the perimeter of the spring unit. This prevents the edges breaking down, which means you can sit or sleep right to the edge without it sagging.

Who's it NOT for?
If you share a bed, note this only comes in EU Single. Couples and anyone wanting a UK-standard size should look elsewhere. Light sleepers may also notice partner or pet movement more with interconnected open coils, and if you prefer a plush, deep-cushioned feel, the 20cm depth and fibre-only comfort layer will feel a little basic.
Highgrove Solar Comfort Extra Long Mattress
View all mattresses
Is the Highgrove Solar Comfort mattress firm or soft?
It's a medium. That suits most back and combination sleepers, although lightweight side sleepers may find the open coil support slightly firmer-feeling than the label suggests, as fibre fillings don't contour as closely as foam.
Can you flip the Highgrove Solar Comfort Extra Long mattress?
Yes. It's double-sided, so you can flip and rotate it regularly. That helps the fillings settle evenly and should extend its usable life, which is a genuine bonus on a budget mattress.
Will an EU Single mattress fit a UK single bed frame?
Not always, and some owner reviews mention sizing concerns with frames. An EU Single is longer than a standard UK single, so measure your frame's internal length before ordering to avoid overhang or gaps.
What warranty does the Highgrove Solar Comfort mattress come with?
Archers Sleep Centre lists 5 years of cover in total, made up of a 1-year guarantee plus a 4-year manufacturing warranty. Terms may differ if you buy elsewhere, so check with your retailer.
How thick is the Highgrove Solar Comfort mattress?
It's 20cm deep, which is on the shallower side. That's fine for most fitted sheets and lighter sleepers, but if you're used to a deep, cushioned mattress it will feel a little slimmer underneath you.
