This is a sensible choice if you want genuine pocket spring support without spending serious money. The 1000 pocket springs are individually encased in cloth pockets, which means less motion transfer if you share a bed and support that follows your shape. Delivery is one of the strongest points: it's free to most locations, with next day weekday delivery or a weekday of your choice up to 60 days ahead, all in a two-hour slot. Room delivery costs £20.00 and old mattress recycling £35.00. It's a National Bed Federation Approved Brand and the mattress conforms to BS7177: 2008 fire safety standards. Yes, the 1-year guarantee is brief, but the 100-night trial gives you a proper chance to test it first.
Key Features & what's inside
- Cover. A stretch-knit, soft-touch cover with a 100% Egyptian cotton white border. The stretch in the knit means the surface flexes with the fillings beneath rather than creating a drum-tight feel.
- Comfort Layer. Deep layers of polyester comfort fillings, described as Soft White Fibres. These give the mattress its cushioned initial feel before you reach the springs.
- Support System. 1000 individual pocket springs, each encased in its own cloth pocket. Because every spring compresses independently, heavier areas like hips sink slightly more while lighter areas stay supported.

Who's it NOT for?
If you want a truly firm mattress, look elsewhere: the brand rates this as medium, and some owners found it softer than expected. It's also not one for buyers who prioritise a long guarantee, as cover here lasts just 1 year. Fans of memory foam contouring won't find that hug in a fibre-and-spring build.
Mattress Online Classic Gold 1000 Pocket Mattress
Across 229 reviews on the mattressonline.co.uk product page, it holds a 4.5 rating, with owners reporting comfortable sleep, reduced back pain and good material quality for the price. A few note it feels softer than expected and takes a little adjusting to.

How firm is the Classic Gold 1000 Pocket mattress?
Mattress Online describes it as medium on their own site, although some retailer listings label it medium firm. Owner feedback suggests it can feel slightly softer than expected, so if you're set on a firm feel, this probably isn't the one. The 100-night trial gives you time to judge for yourself.
How many springs does the Classic Gold 1000 have?
It contains 1000 individual pocket springs, each sewn into its own cloth pocket. That means the springs respond to your body independently, which reduces the roll-together effect you get with cheaper open-coil designs and limits disturbance from a partner moving in the night.
Does the Classic Gold 1000 come with a trial and guarantee?
Yes, you get a 100-night trial to test it at home, which is a generous window at this price. The guarantee is 1 year, which is on the short side, so factor that in if long-term cover matters to you.
What sizes is the Classic Gold 1000 Pocket available in?
Six UK sizes: Small Single, Single, Small Double, Double, King and Super King, priced from £225 to £415 depending on size. The mattress is 29cm deep, so standard fitted sheets should work without any trouble.
How is the Classic Gold 1000 delivered?
Delivery is free to most locations. You can choose next day delivery on weekdays, pick a weekday up to 60 days ahead, or opt for a weekend, with a two-hour time slot. Standard delivery is to your front door; room delivery costs £20.00 and old mattress recycling is £35.00.
