Choose the Somerset 2000 if you want natural materials without a four-figure price. The 2,000 pocket springs work independently of one another, which means less motion transfer if you share the bed and support that follows your shape. Wool and silk are naturally breathable, so hot sleepers should find it easier to stay at an even temperature than on an all-foam bed. It's hypoallergenic and meets the BS7177: 2008 fire safety standard. Highgrove backs it with a 5-year guarantee, as stated on the MattressNextDay listing. One honest caveat: at 34cm deep it's a tall mattress, so check your fitted sheets will stretch to it.
Key Features & what's inside
- Cover. A knitted, breathable cover, which means air can move through the surface rather than getting trapped. It helps keep you at an even temperature through the night.
- Natural Silk Layer. Silk is soft and lightweight, adding a gentle, comfortable feel at the surface. It's a filling more commonly found in premium mattresses.
- Cashmere. A rare filling that's softer and finer than wool. Its presence is usually a sign of a quality build.
- Authentic Traceable British Wool. Wool from British Cheviot sheep, 100% traceable from farm to shop. It adds a natural bounce and helps regulate temperature, which is good news for warm sleepers.
- Support System. 2,000 pocket springs, each sewn into its own fabric pocket so they move completely independently. That means better pressure relief and less disturbance from a partner shifting in the night.

Who's it NOT for?
Skip this one if you like a very firm or a soft, sinking feel: the medium tension sits in the middle. It's a deep mattress at 34cm, awkward for standard fitted sheets and heavier to rotate. And if you want vegan materials, the silk, cashmere and wool rule it out.

How firm is the Highgrove Somerset 2000 mattress?
It's a medium tension, which suits most sleeping positions, especially side and combination sleepers. If you're a heavier person who prefers a very firm surface, it may feel slightly softer than you'd like.
What is the Highgrove Somerset 2000 made of?
Fillings include a natural silk layer, cashmere and 100% traceable British wool from Cheviot sheep, over a support system of 2,000 individual pocket springs. The knitted cover is breathable, and the mattress is 34cm deep. It's made in the UK by an NBF-approved manufacturer.
Does the Highgrove Somerset 2000 come with a guarantee?
The MattressNextDay listing states a Highgrove 5-year guarantee. It's sensible to confirm the guarantee terms with whichever retailer you buy from.
How much does the Highgrove Somerset 2000 cost?
Prices range from £619 to £799 depending on size, starting at £619. Four sizes are available: UK Single, Double, King and Super King. For a mattress with silk, cashmere and traceable wool, that's honest value, as those fillings often push prices higher.
Is the Highgrove Somerset 2000 good for hot sleepers?
It should be. Wool naturally regulates temperature and the knitted cover is designed to be breathable, which means heat is less likely to build up than with synthetic or all-foam surfaces. The pocket spring core also allows air to move through the mattress.
