Assessed from Silentnight's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
The strongest argument for this mattress is what Silentnight has left out. There's no foam and no FR chemical treatment, so if you'd rather avoid synthetic foams in your child's bed, this is one of the more straightforward routes to that. The 600 pocket springs offer zoned support that Silentnight says is scientifically proven to improve spinal alignment and posture, a genuine consideration while a child is still growing. You also get a 60-night trial and a 5-year guarantee from Silentnight, with delivery in 14 days. Yes, £259 is a fair sum for a kids' mattress, but you're paying for pocket springs and a chemical-free build rather than a basic open coil.
Key Features & what's inside
- Sleep surface. A breathable quilted sleep surface, which means the top of the mattress lets air move through rather than trapping warmth. It's a simple layer doing a simple job.
- Support system. 600 Mirapocket® springs providing zoned support, which Silentnight says is scientifically proven to improve spinal alignment and posture. Each spring moves independently, so support follows your child's shape as they shift about.
- Comfort layer. Breathable EcoComfort Fibres™ sit in the comfort layer for cooler sleep. This is where the mattress gets its softness without using any foam.

Who's it NOT for?
If your child strongly prefers a soft, sink-in feel, the Medium rating and fibre comfort layer may feel a little firm to them. And if you're shopping on a tight budget, £259 upwards is more than many basic kids' mattresses, so weigh up whether the spring and chemical-free build matter to you.

How firm is the Silentnight Healthy Growth Astro mattress?
Silentnight rates it as Medium. That's a balanced feel that suits most children, offering enough give for comfort while the 600 pocket springs keep the spine supported. It shouldn't feel hard, but it isn't a plush, sink-in mattress either.
Does the Silentnight Astro kids mattress contain foam?
No. It's certified free from foam and FR chemical treatments, using EcoComfort Fibres™ in the comfort layer instead. It's also hypoallergenic, which helps if your child has allergies or sensitive skin.
What trial and guarantee comes with the Silentnight Healthy Growth Astro?
Silentnight offers a 60-night trial, so your child has two months to settle in before you're committed. There's also a 5-year guarantee covering manufacturing faults, and delivery takes 14 days.
What sizes does the Silentnight Healthy Growth Astro come in?
Three sizes: UK Single, UK Small Double and UK Double. Prices range from £259 to £329 depending on the size you choose, and every size is 23.5cm deep.
How many springs does the Silentnight Healthy Growth Astro have?
It has 600 Mirapocket® springs. These are pocket springs, meaning each one moves independently to give zoned support across the mattress, rather than the whole surface flexing together as it would with an open coil design.
