SleepSoul Heaven 1000 Pocket Gel Pillow Top Mattress

Assessed from the specification published by mattressonline.co.uk, captured October 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.

The pocket springs are individually encased in cloth pockets and adapt to movement, so support is spread across each part of your body rather than in one block. The gel foam layer is described as cooler than traditional memory foam, which helps if you tend to overheat. The pillow top, wrapped in a knitted cover, adds a softer feel on a medium-rated mattress. It's single-sided, so you don't need to flip it, and turning handles are included. It should suit most sleepers who want a medium feel with some cushioning, although those wanting a very firm surface may find it too forgiving.

Side sleepers
The pillow top and 2cm Cool Gel layer add cushioning on a medium-rated mattress, which gives shoulders and hips a softer surface to settle into.

Warm sleepers
The Cool Gel foam layer is described as cooler than traditional memory foam, which means less heat build-up if you tend to overheat at night.

Budget buyers
This is an affordable pocket spring mattress that still includes a pillow top, a gel foam layer and 1000 individually pocketed springs.

Combination sleepers
Individually pocketed springs adapt to movement and spread support across each part of your body, which suits anyone who changes position through the night.

If you prefer sleeping on a firm mattress, this might not be the best choice. It's rated medium, and the pillow top adds a softer feel on the surface. It can't be flipped either, so rotating it is your only option. SleepSoul doesn't say how well it isolates motion, so light sleepers sharing a bed should bear that in mind.

How firm is the SleepSoul Heaven 1000 Pocket Gel Pillow Top?

It's rated medium. The pillow top gives the surface a softer, more cushioned feel, but the rating stays medium. It suits sleepers who want some give, though not anyone after a properly firm surface.

What sizes does the SleepSoul Heaven 1000 Pocket Gel Pillow Top come in?

It comes in a UK single, UK small double, UK double, UK king and UK super king. Every size is 25cm deep, so the thickness stays the same whichever you pick.

How deep is the SleepSoul Heaven 1000 Pocket Gel Pillow Top?

It's 25cm deep in every size. That's worth checking against your bed frame and fitted sheets, though SleepSoul doesn't say how much of the depth comes from each layer.

Does the SleepSoul Heaven 1000 Pocket Gel Pillow Top come with a trial or guarantee?

Mattress Online offers a 100-night comfort trial, which requires buying a mattress protector from them. SleepSoul gives a 10-year guarantee, which must be registered within 30 days of purchase.

Is the SleepSoul Heaven 1000 Pocket Gel Pillow Top good for hot sleepers?

It should help somewhat. The gel foam layer is described as cooler than traditional memory foam, and the knitted cover is breathable. It's not a dedicated cooling mattress, so very hot sleepers may want to compare cooler options.
