Assessed from mattress data provided by our UK retail partners, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across those retailers.
A medium feel suits most sleepers, although lightweight side sleepers may find any medium mattress a touch firm and heavier back sleepers might want something firmer. Pocket springs are the main draw here: because each spring is wrapped in its own fabric pocket, they respond to you and your partner separately, which means less disturbance when one of you rolls over. Starting at £169.00, this is one of the more affordable ways into that technology. Yes, we can't confirm the finer construction details, but the core proposition is straightforward: independent spring support at a modest price, in four UK sizes from Single to Super King.

Who's it NOT for?
If you sleep hot and want cooling-specific materials, we can't confirm any here, so a model with documented temperature features may serve you better. The same goes if you need a confirmed firm or soft feel: this is listed as medium. Buyers who want full construction transparency should also look elsewhere.

Is the Shire Pocket Luxury 1000 mattress firm or soft?
It's listed as medium. That's the middle of the firmness scale, which means it should suit most back and combination sleepers, though lightweight side sleepers sometimes prefer something slightly softer and heavier people something firmer.
What sizes does the Shire Pocket Luxury 1000 come in?
Four UK sizes: Single, Double, King and Super King. Prices range from £169 to £359 depending on the size you choose, starting at £169.00.
How many springs are in the Shire Pocket Luxury 1000 mattress?
We can't confirm the spring count from the information available. It's a pocket spring design, so each spring sits in its own fabric pocket and moves independently, which helps reduce partner disturbance and improves how the mattress contours to your body.
Is the Shire Pocket Luxury 1000 good value?
At £169 to £359 it sits at the affordable end for a pocket sprung mattress, a construction usually found on pricier models. Detailed material information isn't available, so you're trading some transparency for the low price. For a guest room or a budget upgrade, that trade may well be fine.
