Assessed from the specification published by Archers Sleepcentre, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
The main reason to choose this mattress is its extra firm support at a low price. The open coil unit uses hourglass shaped springs joined by a helical wire, which means the whole surface moves as one and gives a solid, traditional feel that many back sleepers with firmer preferences like. Tencel in the fillings helps with heat flow and moisture dissipation, so it should sleep a little cooler than a basic fibre-topped budget mattress. The wire edge border adds structure at the perimeter, useful if you sit on the edge of the bed. Archers Sleep Centre lists free day of choice UK delivery and a 5 year warranty with this mattress.
Key Features & what's inside
- Cover. A durable hand tufted Belgian damask cover with stretch knit fabric. Tufting anchors the fillings in place, which means the surface is less likely to shift or bunch over time.
- Fillings. Layers of hypo-allergenic white fibre fillings combined with Tencel, a fibre treated with eucalyptus. These improve heat flow and moisture dissipation, so you should feel a little less clammy on warm nights.
- Springs. Open coil springs, with hourglass shaped coils connected into a single unit by a spiral helical wire and a thick rod edge wire around the perimeter. This gives a firm, unified feel across the bed, with reinforced edges, though you will notice more movement transfer than with pocket springs.

Who's it NOT for?
This is an extra firm mattress, so lightweight sleepers and most side sleepers will likely find it too hard on the shoulders and hips. Because the open coil springs move as one unit, couples sensitive to a partner's movement may prefer pocket springs. It also has no memory foam or contouring layer, so avoid it if you want a cradling feel.

How firm is the Highgrove Solar Ortho Dream mattress?
It is rated Extra Firm. That means a solid, supportive surface with little sink, which tends to suit back and front sleepers who like a hard feel. Lightweight side sleepers may find it a little too unyielding at the shoulders and hips.
Does the Highgrove Solar Ortho Dream fit IKEA bed frames?
Yes, it is made in EU sizes, which are the dimensions IKEA frames use. It comes in EU Single, EU Double and EU King, so check your frame's size label rather than assuming standard UK sizing will fit.
How deep is the Highgrove Solar Ortho Dream mattress?
The retailer page is inconsistent here: the description says 25cm while the specifications section says 27cm. If exact depth matters, for fitted sheets or an adjustable frame, it is worth confirming with the retailer before ordering.
What warranty does the Highgrove Solar Ortho Dream come with?
Archers Sleep Centre lists a 5 year warranty, described as a 1 year guarantee plus a 4 year manufacturing warranty. Terms listed on a retailer page may differ elsewhere, so confirm cover at the point of purchase.
Is the Highgrove Solar Ortho Dream good for back pain?
Owner reviews on archerssleepcentre.co.uk suggest so, with several customers saying the extra firm support helped their back pain. Firm support suits some backs and not others, so treat that as encouraging feedback rather than a guarantee.
