The Silentnight UltraGel 1000 Pocket is described by Silentnight as Medium/Firm, so it sits on the supportive side of the middle ground, which suits most back and combination sleepers, although lightweight side sleepers may find it a little too firm. At 28cm deep, it has a reasonable amount of substance for the price. You also get a 60-night trial and a 5 year guarantee from Silentnight, which gives you a decent window to change your mind.

Why should you choose this mattress?
The main draw is temperature. Silentnight states the UltraGel comfort layer is 5x more breathable than standard memory foam, which means it should hold noticeably less heat than an all-foam design. If you're a hot sleeper who still wants a cushioned surface, that matters. Underneath, the 1000 Mirapocket springs sit in individual pockets and respond independently to movement, which means less disturbance from a restless partner and support that follows the shape of your spine rather than pushing back evenly. It comes in five UK sizes from Single to Super King.
Key features & layer details
UltraGel comfort layer
A gel infused foam layer that responds to your movements, which means you get contouring without the slow, sunken feel some foams have. Silentnight says it's 5x more breathable than standard memory foam, so it should run cooler through the night.
Mirapocket springs
1000 Mirapocket springs, each held in its own fabric pocket so they respond independently to your body. In practice that means zoned support, better spinal alignment and less motion transfer across the bed.

Best suited for?
Back sleepers
The Medium Firm feel sits on the supportive side of the middle, and the pocket springs follow the shape of your spine.
Combination sleepers
The gel layer responds to your movements, so you get contouring without a slow, sunken feel when you shift position during the night.
Warm sleepers
Silentnight says the UltraGel comfort layer is 5x more breathable than standard memory foam, so it should hold less heat than an all-foam design.
Couples
The 1000 Mirapocket springs sit in individual pockets and move independently, which means less disturbance from a restless partner, and Super King is available.
Lighter side sleepers may find the Medium/Firm feel a touch too solid on the shoulders and hips. And if you love the deep, cradling hug of traditional memory foam, the more responsive gel layer here won't give you that. Anyone wanting a very deep, hotel-style pillow top should also 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 UltraGel 1000 mattress?
Silentnight rates it Medium/Firm. That places it on the supportive side of middling, a sensible fit for back sleepers and heavier side sleepers, though lightweight side sleepers may find it slightly firm around the shoulders.
Does the Silentnight UltraGel 1000 sleep hot?
It's designed not to. Silentnight states the gel infused comfort layer is 5x more breathable than standard memory foam, and the pocket spring core allows air to move through the mattress, so it should stay cooler than a typical all-foam design.
How many springs does the Silentnight UltraGel 1000 have?
It contains 1000 Mirapocket springs, each held in an individual pocket. They respond independently to your movements, which means zoned support for your spine and less disturbance when a partner moves.
Does the Silentnight UltraGel 1000 come with a trial and guarantee?
Yes. Silentnight offers a 60-night trial and a 5 year guarantee, with delivery listed at 14 days. If you buy through a retailer it's sensible to check their terms match before ordering.
What sizes does the Silentnight UltraGel 1000 come in?
Five UK sizes: Single, Small Double, Double, King and Super King.
