The Rest Assured Novaro 1000 is 24cm deep and sits at the affordable end for a pocket-sprung mattress, which means you get proper spring support without paying a premium. It's handcrafted in the UK, hypoallergenic, and made without chemical fire treatments. Available in five sizes from single to super king, it suits sleepers who want firmer, orthopaedic-style support at a modest price. If you prefer a genuinely soft, sink-in feel, this probably isn't the one for you.

Why should you choose this mattress?
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 an affordable starting price, the value holds up. Buying through Mattress Online adds a 100-night trial and free delivery to most UK locations.
Key features & layer details
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.

Best suited for?
Budget buyers
Sitting at the affordable end for a pocket-sprung mattress, it gives you proper spring support without paying a premium.
Couples
The 1,000 pocket springs each sit in their own fabric pouch, so movement on one side is absorbed rather than passed across to your partner.
Allergy sufferers
A hypoallergenic build and no chemical fire treatments make this a cleaner choice for anyone who wants to keep irritants out of the bedroom.
Back sleepers
A medium to firm feel with orthopaedic-style support from the pocket springs beneath keeps things supportive for anyone lying on their back.
Warm sleepers
The recycled polyester fibre layer is highly breathable, which helps heat escape rather than build up across the night.
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.
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
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 an affordable starting price.
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.
