Silentnight Special Sleep Mattress
The Silentnight Special Sleep is one of the more affordable routes into a Silentnight mattress, using the brand's Miracoil spring system.
- Firm feel for back & front sleepers
- Reinforced edges for more sleeping area
- Rotate head-to-toe, no flipping
Silentnight describes the Special Sleep as a supportive and firm mattress, so it suits back and front sleepers who want a solid, stable feel rather than a soft, cushioned one. It comes in five UK sizes, from Single up to Super King. If you buy through Mattressman, you get a 60-night trial and free next day delivery, though those are the retailer's terms rather than Silentnight's own.

Why should you choose this mattress?
The main draw here is straightforward: firm, zoned support at a genuinely modest price. The Miracoil spring system spreads support across the mattress in zones, which means your hips and shoulders get resistance where your body weight concentrates. That firm feel is supportive rather than plush, and it will divide opinion. If you sleep on your back or front, or you simply prefer a bed that holds you up rather than lets you sink, this is the kind of mattress that does one job well. Mattressman lists a 60-night trial with it, so there is a window to change your mind, provided you buy from that retailer.
Key features & layer details
Comfort layer
Eco Comfort Fibre fillings sit on top of the springs. This is a simple fibre layer rather than foam, so expect a firm, fairly traditional surface rather than a deep, hugging one.
Spring system
A Miracoil open coil system with no roll-together and reinforced edges for more sleeping area. It gives you a firm, supportive base, and the stronger edges mean you can use more of the bed's width.

Best suited for?
Back sleepers
The firm feel and zoned Miracoil springs hold your body up rather than letting you sink, which suits anyone who wants a solid, stable base on their back.
Front sleepers
Firm support that resists sinking helps keep you lying flat on your front, rather than dipping into a soft, cushioned surface.
Budget buyers
The copy describes firm, zoned support at a genuinely modest price, so it does one job well without asking you to stretch your spending.
This is a supportive and firm mattress, so lightweight side sleepers may find it a little too unyielding on the shoulders and hips. If you want the contouring feel of memory foam or pocket springs, the Miracoil system will feel firmer and springier than you expect. Detailed construction specs are also scarce, which may frustrate careful comparers.
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
Is the Silentnight Special Sleep mattress firm or soft?
It is described as a supportive and firm mattress. That makes it a good fit for back and front sleepers, or anyone who prefers a solid feel. Lightweight side sleepers may find it slightly too firm for comfortable pressure relief at the shoulder.
What springs does the Silentnight Special Sleep mattress have?
It uses Silentnight's Miracoil spring system, a continuous zoned spring design rather than individual pocket springs. A spring count is not published for this model, but the zoned layout is designed to concentrate support where your body needs it most.
Does the Silentnight Special Sleep mattress come with a trial?
Mattressman lists a 60-night trial with this mattress. That trial is the retailer's own offer rather than a Silentnight guarantee, so if you buy elsewhere the terms may differ. Check the returns policy of whichever shop you order from.
What sizes does the Silentnight Special Sleep mattress come in?
It is available in five UK sizes: Single, Small Double, Double, King and Super King.
How quickly can the Silentnight Special Sleep mattress be delivered?
Mattressman offers free next day delivery on this mattress, with a handling time of 0 to 1 days and transit of 1 to 3 days. These are the retailer's delivery terms, so timescales may vary if you buy from another shop.
