Why should you choose this mattress?
If you're a hot sleeper who keeps ruling out memory foam because of the heat, this mattress is built around that exact problem. The Cooler fabric cover gives an instant cool-touch feel, and the gel-infused foam beneath is designed to draw heat away from your body through the night. Underneath, firm pocket springs move independently, which means support is targeted to where you press down rather than the whole surface dipping. It's hypoallergenic, vegan friendly, and meets the BS7177: 2008 fire safety standard. Yes, it's a straightforwardly firm feel with no plush top, but that's the point: this is aimed at people who want proper orthopaedic-style support.
Key features & layer details
Cooler™ Fabric Cover
A cool-feel knitted fabric cover that gives an instant cooling effect the moment you lie down. It also enhances breathability, helping air move through the mattress.
Cool Gel Memory Foam
Thick layers of memory foam infused with gel microbeads, which actively draw heat away from your body. That means the contouring comfort of memory foam without the warm, sticky feel it can sometimes have.
Pocket Springs
Firm pocket springs, each sitting in its own fabric pocket so they compress independently. This gives targeted support and pressure relief where your body needs it, rather than a uniform push-back.

Best suited for?
Back sleepers
The firm pocket springs move independently and give targeted support, which means your body stays held up without the surface dipping all over.
Front sleepers
A firm surface with no plush top helps keep you from sinking in, which suits anyone who wants a flatter, more supported feel on their front.
Warm sleepers
The Cooler fabric cover feels cool on contact and the gel-infused memory foam draws heat away, so you get contouring without that warm, sticky feel.
Allergy sufferers
The mattress is hypoallergenic, which makes it a sensible pick if you want a bed that has been made with allergy concerns in mind.
European bed frames
It comes in eight sizes including EU options, which means you can find a proper fit for a continental bed frame.
This is a firm mattress, so lightweight side sleepers may find it presses on shoulders and hips rather than cushioning them. If you prefer a soft, sink-in feel, look elsewhere. And if a sleep trial matters to you, check terms carefully: the retailer listing we sourced doesn't mention one.
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 SleepSoul Cooler Ortho 4000 firm or soft?
It's firm. The pocket springs are firm by design and the gel memory foam adds contouring rather than a soft, sinking feel. It suits back and front sleepers, and heavier bodies generally, although lightweight side sleepers may find it a little hard on pressure points.
Does the SleepSoul Cooler Ortho 4000 sleep cool?
Cooling is its main selling point. The knitted Cooler cover has an instant cool-touch feel, and the memory foam is infused with gel microbeads that draw heat away from your body. Owner reviews on MattressNextDay specifically praise how well it regulates temperature.
What sizes does the SleepSoul Cooler Ortho 4000 come in?
Eight sizes: UK Single, Small Double, Double, King and Super King, plus EU Single, EU Double and EU King. The EU options are useful if you have a continental bed frame.
Does the SleepSoul Cooler Ortho 4000 come with a warranty or trial?
MattressNextDay lists a 10-year guarantee and free next day delivery to mainland UK, though some addresses may incur a small fee. No trial period is mentioned on that listing, so check terms with whichever retailer you buy from before ordering.
How deep is the SleepSoul Cooler Ortho 4000 mattress?
It's 26cm deep, a fairly standard depth that should suit most fitted sheets without needing extra-deep bedding. That depth accommodates the gel memory foam layers on top of the firm pocket spring unit.
