Silentnight Pocket Essentials 1000 Mattress
The Silentnight Pocket Essentials 1000 is a straightforward pocket spring mattress from a familiar British name.
- Minimises partner disturbance
- Fibre fillings avoid trapped heat
- Suits guest rooms & first big beds
The Silentnight Pocket Essentials 1000 uses 1000 individual pocket springs, which means each spring moves on its own, so you get more targeted support and less motion transfer than a basic open coil design. Fillings are 100% polyester fibre topped with a knitted micro quilted cover, so the feel is simple and springy rather than plush or contouring. It's listed as medium firm, a middle-of-the-road feel that suits most sleepers, although lightweight side sleepers may find it a little too firm. It comes in five sizes, from UK Single up to UK Super King.

Why should you choose this mattress?
This is a sensible pick if you want pocket sprung support without paying for extras you may not use. The 1000 pocket springs in Silentnight's Mirapocket system respond to each sleeper separately, which means a restless partner is less likely to disturb you. Yes, the polyester fibre fillings are basic, but they keep the price down and avoid the heat retention some foam layers bring. It sits at the affordable end of the pocket spring market. If you're buying for a guest room, a child's first full-size bed, or a budget-conscious main bedroom, it does the essentials well. Mattressman lists a 60-night trial and free next day delivery with this mattress.
Key features & layer details
Cover
A knitted micro quilted cover, which means the top surface has a soft, slightly cushioned texture stitched into it. It adds a touch of surface comfort without a separate pillow top.
Fillings
100% polyester fibre fillings sit between you and the springs. These give a simple, breathable comfort layer, though they won't contour to your body the way memory foam would.
Springs
1000 individual pocket springs form the support core, part of Silentnight's Mirapocket system. Each spring is sewn into its own fabric pocket, so it responds to pressure independently and reduces the ripple effect when someone else moves.

Best suited for?
Couples
Each of the 1000 pocket springs responds on its own, which means a restless partner is less likely to disturb your sleep.
Budget buyers
Described as sitting at the affordable end of the pocket spring market, it gives you pocket sprung support without paying for extras you may not use.
Guest rooms
Medium firm suits most sleepers, so visitors of different builds and sleeping styles should find it comfortable for a night or a longer stay.
Warm sleepers
Simple polyester fibre fillings avoid the heat retention some foam layers bring, giving a breathable comfort layer that suits those who sleep hot.
Back sleepers
The medium firm feel and springy pocket spring core give targeted support, so your body stays supported rather than sinking into a soft layer.
If you like a cradling, sink-in feel, the polyester fibre fillings here are too shallow for that; a hybrid with a foam comfort layer would suit you better. Lightweight side sleepers may also find the medium firm feel slightly too solid at the shoulder and hip.
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.
