Assessed from the specification published by MattressNextDay, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
The main draw here is the support system: 2000 pocketed springs that move independently, which means each spring responds to the part of your body pressing on it rather than the mattress dipping as one piece. That's particularly helpful for couples, as one person turning over is less likely to disturb the other. The silk layer adds a soft, lightweight feel at the surface, and the Eco Comfort Fibres are breathable and 100% recyclable, a genuine plus if sustainability matters to you. It's hypoallergenic, with an antimicrobial aloe vera cover, and available in five UK sizes from Single to Super King. The 5-year guarantee is shorter than some brands offer, but the price is honest for the specification.
Key Features & what's inside
- Cover. A quilted cover enriched with aloe vera and antimicrobial properties, which means a fresher, softer sleep surface. It's a small touch, but a pleasant one for allergy-prone sleepers.
- Comfort Fillings. Eco Comfort Fibres, breathable sustainable fibres that are 100% recyclable, sit alongside a natural silk layer known for its softness and lightweight feel. Together they give the surface its gentle, airy cushioning.
- Support System. 2000 individually pocketed springs work independently, which means tailored support where your body presses hardest, typically hips and shoulders. This also helps limit motion transfer between partners.
- Base. A sturdy, non-slip base keeps the mattress stable on your bed frame. Nothing fancy, but it does its job.

Who's it NOT for?
If you like a soft, sink-in feel, this probably isn't for you: it's listed as medium, and across owner reviews several people found it firmer than expected. Memory foam fans may also miss that contouring, hug-like sensation, as this is a traditional pocket spring feel with a springier, more supported surface.
Rest Assured Minerva 2000 Pocket Silk Mattress

Is the Rest Assured Minerva 2000 firm or medium?
The retailer's product page lists it as medium, although some other listings describe it as firm. Owner reviews suggest it leans firmer than a typical medium, with some buyers surprised by the firmness. If you're between the two, treat it as a medium-firm feel and you won't be far off.
How many springs does the Minerva 2000 have?
It has 2000 individually pocketed springs. Because each spring moves independently, support adjusts to your body's heaviest pressure points, and movement on one side of the bed transfers less to the other.
How deep is the Rest Assured Minerva 2000 mattress?
It's 27.5cm deep. That's a substantial depth that should suit standard fitted sheets, though it's sensible to check deeper-pocket sheets fit comfortably.
What guarantee comes with the Minerva 2000?
Rest Assured provides a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee. That's a little shorter than some brands offer, but the mattress is made in the UK by an NBF-approved manufacturer, which offers some reassurance on build quality.
Does the Minerva 2000 come with a sleep trial?
No trial period is mentioned on the retailer's listing. MattressNextDay lists free next day delivery, though some addresses may incur a small fee. Check the terms with whichever retailer you buy from, as delivery and returns offers vary between shops.
