Assessed from Mattress Online's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
Choose this if you sleep on your back or front and want proper pushback rather than sink. The 2000 pocket springs give full body support and spinal alignment, and the wire rod edge around the perimeter means the sides shouldn't dip or sag, so you can use the full width of the bed. It's National Bed Federation approved and hypoallergenic, reassuring if allergies are a concern. Delivery is free to most of mainland England and much of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, with next day delivery available on weekdays and a two-hour time slot, and old mattress removal for £35.00. The 100-night trial gives you a fair chance to adjust. The one-year guarantee is short, but the price reflects that.
Key Features & what's inside
- Comfort Layer. Soft white synthetic fibres create a cosy feel on the surface. These are lightweight, high-loft materials, which means they should hold their height and shape over time rather than flattening quickly.
- Support System. 2000 extra firm pocket springs contour around your body shape while pushing back against it, which means full body support and spinal alignment rather than a hammock effect. This is where the very firm, sturdy feel comes from.
- Edge Support. A wire rod runs along the perimeter of the pocket springs, giving you a durable edge that doesn't dip or sag. In practice, that means more usable sleep space right to the sides of the bed.

Who's it NOT for?
Lightweight side sleepers should look elsewhere: an extra firm surface can press uncomfortably on shoulders and hips if you don't weigh enough to sink into it. If you like a cushioned, cradling feel, or you want memory foam contouring, this very firm pocket spring build will feel too unyielding.

How firm is the Premium Gold 2000 mattress?
It's rated Extra Firm, which Mattress Online describes as its firmest rating: highly supportive with a very firm, sturdy feel. Expect noticeable pushback rather than sink. It suits those who want a solid sleeping surface, although lighter sleepers may find it a little too firm.
Does the Premium Gold 2000 come with a trial?
Yes, Mattress Online offers a 100-night trial, so you have plenty of time to decide whether extra firm is right for you. The guarantee is one year, which is on the short side, though the price from £289.00 goes some way to balancing that.
What sizes does the Premium Gold 2000 come in?
Six UK sizes: Small Single, Single, Small Double, Double, King and Super King, priced from £289 to £609 depending on size.
Is the Premium Gold 2000 good for back pain?
Across owner reviews on the Mattress Online site, customers report reduced aches and find it particularly beneficial for back issues, thanks to the 2000 pocket springs that push back against the body for spinal alignment. That said, no single firmness suits every back, so use the 100-night trial to be sure.
How is the Premium Gold 2000 delivered?
Delivery to your front door is free to most locations in mainland England and most of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, with a two-hour time slot. Next day delivery is available on weekdays, and Mattress Online will remove your old mattress for £35.00.
