Assessed from Silentnight's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
This is a mattress for people who want firm support without spending much. Silentnight describes it as firm comfort with zoned support, and pitches it as highly supportive for sleepers with a heavier build. The Miracoil system's interconnected springs are designed to stop roll together, which means couples should feel less movement from each other during the night. Hypoallergenic fillings help if you're sensitive to allergens, and being double-sided means flipping and rotating can extend its life. Yes, at 21cm it's slimmer than many mattresses, but the price, priced from £179.00 to £239, reflects that honestly. Add a 60-night trial and 5-year guarantee from Silentnight and the risk feels fairly low.

Who's it NOT for?
This isn't the one if you prefer a soft or medium feel: Silentnight rates it firm, and lightweight side sleepers may find it a little unforgiving on the hips and shoulders. At 21cm deep it's also slimmer than many, so if you want a plush, deep mattress, look elsewhere.

Is the Silentnight Essentials Value Mattress firm or soft?
Silentnight rates it as firm on its own product page, describing it as firm comfort with zoned support. You may see it listed as soft in some retailer feeds, but the brand's own rating is firm, aimed at sleepers who want plenty of support, including those with a heavier build.
How many springs does the Silentnight Essentials Value Mattress have?
It has 323 springs in an open coil system, using Silentnight's zoned Miracoil design. The springs are interconnected, which means zoned support where your body needs it and no roll together, so couples feel less of each other's movement.
Does the Silentnight Essentials Value Mattress need turning?
Yes. It's a double-sided mattress, so Silentnight advises rotating and turning it regularly. That's a little more effort than a no-turn design, but it helps the fillings wear evenly and can extend the mattress's life.
Does the Silentnight Essentials Value Mattress come with a trial and guarantee?
Silentnight offers a 60-night trial and a 5-year guarantee on this mattress, with delivery listed at 14 days. That gives you a couple of months to decide whether the firm feel suits you before committing.
What sizes does the Silentnight Essentials Value Mattress come in?
It's available in UK small single, single, small double, double and king. Prices run from £179.00 to £239 depending on size, and the mattress is 21cm deep across the range.
