The Milldale 3000 has 2000 zoned pocket springs with an additional 1000 mini springs beneath its natural fillings, which means the surface feels plush while your spine still gets targeted support where it needs it. At 32.5cm deep with a tufted pillowtop, it has a traditional, hotel-style feel. It's Allergy UK approved as naturally hypoallergenic, and Silentnight backs it with a 60-night trial and a 5-year guarantee. Its price is a step up from entry-level pocket sprung options, though the natural fillings go some way to justifying it.

Why should you choose this mattress?
This is the Softer version of a mattress that comes in softer and firmer builds, so it suits sleepers who want a gentle, cushioned surface, typically side sleepers and lighter bodies. The wool, silk, cashmere and alpaca fillings are highly breathable, which means less of the clammy warmth you can get from all-foam mattresses. If you're a hot sleeper who still wants a plush feel, that combination is genuinely hard to find at this depth of comfort. The Allergy UK approval matters too: the fillings are naturally hypoallergenic, a real consideration if dust or dander sets you off. Yes, the starting price isn't cheap, but a 3000-spring unit wrapped in natural fibres rarely is.
Key features & layer details
Pillowtop
A sumptuous tufted pillowtop with layers of British wool. This is what gives the mattress its soft, sink-in first impression.
Silk, wool, cashmere and alpaca layer
An additional layer of silk, wool, cashmere and alpaca, which means the comfort layers breathe well and regulate temperature rather than trapping heat.
Sustainable fresh fibres
British wool layered with sustainable fresh fibres. This adds cushioning depth between the natural fillings and the springs.
Pocket springs
2000 zoned pocket springs with an additional 1000 mini springs. The zoning means firmer support under heavier areas like your hips, while the mini springs fine-tune the surface response.

Best suited for?
Side sleepers
The soft feel and tufted pillowtop with British wool give a gentle, sink-in surface, which suits the cushioned comfort side sleepers usually look for.
Warm sleepers
Silk, wool, cashmere and alpaca fillings breathe well and regulate temperature, which means less of the clammy warmth you can get from all-foam mattresses.
Allergy sufferers
Allergy UK approval for its naturally hypoallergenic fillings makes this a sensible pick if dust or dander tends to set you off.
Lighter sleepers
A soft, plush surface over 2000 zoned pocket springs and 1000 mini springs gives lighter bodies the cushioned feel they typically want without sinking too deep.
This is a soft mattress, so it's unlikely to suit back or front sleepers who need a firmer surface, or heavier sleepers who may sink too far into the pillowtop. If you prefer a supportive feel, the firmer version of this model would be the better starting point. Anyone avoiding animal-derived materials should look elsewhere: wool, silk, cashmere and alpaca all feature.
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.
