Assessed from Sleep Story's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
The main reason to choose this mattress is the extra firm support. Pocket springs, 2,000 of them in a king size, adapt to your shape while keeping your spine on an even level, and the DynamicEdge side support means you can use the full width of the bed without feeling you might roll off. The hypoallergenic filling is a sensible touch if you're prone to allergies. At £699 to £949 depending on size, it sits at a fair price for a 30cm hybrid, and the 20-year guarantee is longer than most brands offer, which says something about how the maker expects it to last. Yes, it's a firm feel that won't suit everyone, but for those who want it, it delivers.
Key Features & what's inside
- Cover. A stretch damask cover, which means the surface flexes with the layers beneath rather than pulling tight across them. It's a soft, traditional-feeling finish.
- Fillings. Foam and fibre fillings sit beneath the cover. These give a slightly cushioned surface feel before you reach the firm spring support below.
- Spring system. The AdvantEdge® pocket spring system uses 2,000 springs in a king size, each moving independently, which means support is tailored across your whole body rather than delivered in one rigid plane. It's designed to support you right across the sleep surface.
- Side support. DynamicEdge active side support reinforces the perimeter, which means you can sleep or sit right at the edge without it giving way. Useful if you share the bed and need every inch of width.

Who's it NOT for?
This is an extra firm mattress, so it's a poor match for side sleepers, particularly lighter ones, whose shoulders and hips need to sink in a little for proper alignment. If you like a plush, cradling feel, or you're under a lighter body weight, the surface will likely feel too hard.

How firm is the Sleep Story Ortho 2000 mattress?
It's rated extra firm, the firmest end of the scale. That suits back and front sleepers, and heavier sleepers who need strong support, although lightweight side sleepers may find it a little too hard on the shoulders and hips.
How many springs does the Sleep Story Ortho 2000 have?
It has 2,000 pocket springs in the king size, part of the AdvantEdge® spring system. Pocket springs move independently, which means each area of your body gets its own level of support rather than the whole surface tilting as one.
Does the Sleep Story Ortho 2000 come with a guarantee?
Yes, it carries a 20-year guarantee, which is longer than most brands offer and suggests confidence in how the mattress will hold up over time.
How deep is the Sleep Story Ortho 2000 mattress?
It's 30cm deep, a generous depth that works well on most bed frames and divans. Do check your fitted sheets are deep enough, as some standard sheets struggle past this depth.
How much does the Sleep Story Ortho 2000 cost?
Prices run from £699 to £949 depending on size, starting at £699.00. Sizes range from UK Small Single to UK Super King. Delivery is within 14 days, with a Premium Delivery Service available at £39 for mattresses.
