The Classic Gold 1000 Pocket pairs 1000 individual pocket springs with deep polyester comfort fillings, which means each spring moves independently under your body rather than pulling neighbouring areas down with it. The brand describes it as medium, a comfortable middle ground that suits most sleeping positions. At 29cm deep with a soft-touch knitted cover and an Egyptian cotton border, it feels more considered than the price suggests. You get a 100-night trial to make up your mind at home, although the guarantee is a short 1 year, which is the main compromise here.

Why should you choose this mattress?
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 and old mattress recycling cost extra. 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 & layer details
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.

Best suited for?
Couples
Individually encased pocket springs mean less motion transfer, so you are less likely to feel your partner turning over during the night.
Combination sleepers
The medium feel is described as a middle ground for most sleeping positions, so it suits people who shift between back, side and front.
Side sleepers
Each spring compresses on its own, so hips sink slightly more while lighter areas stay supported, and the polyester fillings add a cushioned first feel.
Budget buyers
You get 1000 pocket springs and a 29cm deep build for less than the price suggests, with a 100-night trial to check it at home.
Back sleepers
Springs that follow your shape and a medium feel give support across the body without the hard, drum-tight surface of a very firm mattress.
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. If you prefer memory foam contouring, you won't find that hug in a fibre-and-spring build.
Save on an earlier or ex-display model
Some retailers still sell the earlier version of this mattress, or ex-display and returned stock at a lower price. These are the sizes where it costs less than the current model's best price.

FAQ's
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 an affordable starting 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. 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 and old mattress recycling cost extra.
