Assessed from the specification published by Archers Sleepcentre, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
The main appeal is honest value. From £181.48 you get a 28cm deep mattress with an interconnected open coil spring system topped by reflex foam, which means even weight distribution and reduced pressure points without a premium price tag. The white fibre fillings are hypo-allergenic, a plus if dust sensitivity bothers you. Archers Sleep Centre, the listing retailer, offers free day-of-choice delivery to UK mainland addresses, with remote locations and islands charged extra. Yes, open coil is an older technology than pocket springs, and you may notice more movement transfer when a partner shifts, but at this price the trade-off is reasonable. It suits back and front sleepers who like firm support best.
Key Features & what's inside
- Cover. A stretch knit fabric with a quilted finish. This gives the sleep surface a soft, slightly cushioned top layer against the firm build beneath.
- Fillings. White fibre fillings, a lightweight, high loft material that holds its shape over time. They are also hypo-allergenic, which helps if you're prone to allergies.
- Foam Core. A reflex foam core that conforms to your body by distributing weight evenly. In practice this means fewer pressure points at your hips and shoulders.
- Springs. Rows of hourglass shaped springs joined top and bottom by spiral helical wires, forming an interconnected open coil system. Expect a traditional, springy firm feel rather than isolated, independent support.

Who's it NOT for?
Lightweight side sleepers may find the firm feel too unforgiving on the shoulder and hip. Couples sensitive to movement should note that open coil springs are interconnected, so you'll feel a partner turning more than you would on pocket springs. It's also not the choice if you want a plush, contouring surface.
Highgrove Vancouver Mattress in a Box
View all mattresses
Is the Highgrove Vancouver mattress firm or soft?
It's rated firm. The interconnected open coil springs and reflex foam core give solid, even support, which suits back and front sleepers well. If you sleep on your side and are on the lighter side, it may feel a little too hard at the shoulder.
Does the Highgrove Vancouver come with a trial?
Archers Sleep Centre lists a 60-night comfort guarantee, but it's the retailer's own offer, not the manufacturer's, and it requires you to buy a Purecare mattress protector at the same time. If you buy elsewhere, check that retailer's terms before assuming a trial applies.
What guarantee does the Highgrove Vancouver mattress have?
Archers Sleep Centre lists a 1 year guarantee covering manufacturing faults only. This is the retailer's offer rather than a manufacturer warranty, so comfort preferences and normal wear aren't covered. It's shorter than many brands offer, which is one of the compromises at this price.
How deep is the Highgrove Vancouver mattress?
It's 28cm deep, which is a generous depth for a mattress at this price. Standard fitted sheets should still fit, though it's worth checking your sheet's maximum depth if yours are on the shallow side.
What sizes does the Highgrove Vancouver come in?
Six UK sizes: Small Single, Single, Small Double, Double, King and Super King. Prices run from £181.48 up to £307 depending on the size you choose.
