Why should you choose this mattress?
The main appeal here is the feel. That plush pillowtop gives you a cushioned surface to settle into, while the gel-infused foam beneath responds to your movements, so it shouldn't feel like you're stuck in one spot. Underneath, 1000 pocket springs sit in individual pockets, which means each spring moves independently and supports your body where it needs it, with zoned support to help keep your spine aligned. The medium soft rating suits side sleepers and lighter bodies particularly well, as it allows shoulders and hips to sink in slightly. Add a 60-night trial and a 5-year guarantee from Silentnight, and it's a fairly low-risk way to try a softer hybrid, at a mid-range price.
Key features & layer details
Gel-infused comfort layer
A gel-infused foam layer that responds as you move, paired with breathable foam. In practice this means a responsive, slightly bouncy feel rather than the slow sink of traditional memory foam.
Plush pillowtop
A soft pillowtop stitched to the surface for that sink-in feel. This is what gives the mattress its cushioned, medium soft character.
Mirapocket springs
1000 Mirapocket springs, each housed in its own fabric pocket so they move independently. Silentnight says the zoned design is scientifically proven to improve spinal alignment and posture, which you'll feel as firmer support where your body is heaviest.

Best suited for?
Side sleepers
The medium soft rating and plush pillowtop let shoulders and hips sink in slightly, which gives a cushioned feel when you lie on your side.
Lighter sleepers
A medium soft feel suits lighter bodies, so the pillowtop and gel-infused foam give way easily instead of feeling like a firm platform.
Combination sleepers
The gel-infused foam responds as you move, giving a slightly bouncy feel rather than a slow sink, so changing position shouldn't feel like climbing out of a hollow.
Couples
With 1000 pocket springs each moving independently, the mattress supports each person's body separately, while the 60-night trial gives you time to decide together.
If you prefer a firm, supportive surface, or you sleep mainly on your front, the medium soft feel here will likely be too yielding. Heavier sleepers may also sink further into the pillowtop than is comfortable. And pillowtops can't be flipped, so you're limited to rotating it for even wear.
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.
