It comes in five UK sizes, with a 60-night trial and a 5-year guarantee from Silentnight. At 25cm deep, it should suit standard fitted sheets without any fuss.

Why should you choose this mattress?
This is a mattress for buyers who want the classic hybrid combination, foam comfort with pocket spring support, without a premium price. The 1000 Mirapocket springs (counted on the king size, and pro-rata for smaller sizes) react independently to weight and movement, which means less disturbance when a partner shifts in the night. The Purotex treatment, a natural probiotic that combats allergens, is a genuine plus if you're an allergy sufferer. It's single-sided, so you rotate rather than flip it, and Silentnight says the design is tested for durable, long-lasting support. The memory foam layer is fairly simple, but at a mid-range starting price the essentials are well covered.
Key features & layer details
Memory Foam Comfort Layer
A responsive memory foam that gently moulds to your body's contours, which means it absorbs energy and eases built-up pressure at the hips and shoulders. You'll feel a slight cradling on the surface rather than a deep sink.
Mirapocket Spring Support System
1000 individually nested pocket springs (based on the king size, with the count varying pro-rata for other sizes) react independently to your body weight and movement. Silentnight states the zoned support is scientifically proven to help spinal alignment and posture.

Best suited for?
Couples
The 1000 Mirapocket springs react independently to weight and movement, which means less disturbance when your partner shifts during the night.
Allergy sufferers
The Purotex treatment is a natural probiotic that combats allergens, which gives anyone sensitive to dust and similar irritants a useful extra in the cover.
Back sleepers
The Medium/Firm feel and zoned pocket spring layer give a fairly level, supportive surface, with the memory foam adding gentle cradling rather than a deep sink.
Combination sleepers
Because the memory foam gives only a slight cradling feel on top, changing position through the night should feel easy rather than like climbing out of a hollow.
If you prefer a soft, sink-in feel, the Medium/Firm rating will likely feel too solid, and lightweight side sleepers in particular may not press far enough into the memory foam. It's also single-sided, so anyone who wants a flippable mattress for even wear should look elsewhere.
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
How firm is the Silentnight Pocket Essentials 1000 Memory Mattress?
Silentnight rates it as Medium/Firm. That's a versatile feel that works for most back and combination sleepers, although lighter side sleepers may find it slightly too firm for full pressure relief at the shoulder.
Does the Silentnight Pocket Essentials 1000 come with a trial?
Yes. Silentnight offers a 60-night trial on this mattress, along with a 5-year guarantee, so you have two months to decide whether the feel suits you.
How many springs does the Pocket Essentials 1000 Memory have?
It contains 1000 individually nested Mirapocket springs. That count is based on the king size (150cm x 200cm), so smaller sizes contain proportionally fewer springs.
Can you flip the Silentnight Pocket Essentials 1000 Memory Mattress?
No, it's a single-sided design, so you rotate it rather than flip it. Silentnight says the design has been tested for durable, long-lasting support, so this shouldn't shorten its useful life.
Is the Silentnight Pocket Essentials 1000 good for allergy sufferers?
It comes with a Purotex treatment, a 100% natural probiotic that combats allergens, which makes it a reasonable pick if allergies disturb your sleep.
