Assessed from the specification published by Mattress Online, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
This mattress makes sense if you want supportive, no-frills comfort on a budget. The 1,000 pocket springs move independently, which means the mattress responds to your body shape and absorbs your partner's movements rather than transferring them across the bed. Soft recycled polyester fillings add a cosy, breathable surface, and hand tufting keeps those fillings from shifting over time. It's also a reassuringly clean build: hypoallergenic, free of chemical fire treatments, and made by a National Bed Federation approved brand. The 5-year guarantee is decent rather than generous, but at £269 to £459 depending on size, the value holds up. Buying through Mattress Online adds a 100-night trial and free delivery to most UK locations.
Key Features & what's inside
- Knitted cover. A soft knitted finish that adds cosiness and warmth to the sleep surface. Hand tufting locks the fillings in place, which means the comfort layers stay put rather than migrating over the years.
- Soft White Fibres. Synthetic fillings made from recycled polyester create a cosy top layer, and they're highly breathable, which helps heat escape rather than build up. It's a softer touch above the firmer support beneath.
- Pocket Springs. 1,000 individual springs, each encased in its own fabric pouch, respond to your body shape independently. That means movement on one side of the bed is absorbed rather than passed across to your partner.

Who's it NOT for?
Despite its label, this mattress feels medium to firm, so it's not right for lightweight side sleepers or anyone wanting a plush, cushioned surface. Owner feedback suggests the firmness can take some getting used to. If you need deep pressure relief around hips and shoulders, look at softer options.

Across 379 verified reviews on the Mattress Online product page, it holds a 4.7 rating, with owners commonly reporting supportive, comfortable sleep and improvements in back and joint pain. Some found the firmness required a period of adjustment.

Is the Rest Assured Novaro 1000 firm or soft?
The product page describes it as medium to firm, and owner reviews back that up, with several mentioning the firmness took some adjustment. Some retailer listings label it soft, but the medium to firm description is the more reliable guide. Side sleepers who like a softer surface should bear that in mind.
Does the Novaro 1000 come with a trial period?
Mattress Online lists a 100-night trial with this mattress. That trial is the retailer's own offer rather than a Rest Assured policy, so if you buy elsewhere, check that retailer's returns terms before ordering.
How deep is the Rest Assured Novaro 1000 mattress?
It's 24cm deep, a fairly standard depth that most fitted sheets will accommodate without any stretching or bunching.
What guarantee does the Novaro 1000 have?
The Mattress Online listing states a 5-year guarantee, and other retailer listings show the same. That's shorter than some brands offer, though reasonable at this price point.
Is the Novaro 1000 good for allergy sufferers?
Yes, it's hypoallergenic, and it's made without chemical fire treatments, using a natural fire retardant formula instead while still conforming to BS7177: 2008 for fire resistance. That makes it a sensible pick if you're sensitive to chemical treatments or prone to allergies.
