Assessed from SleepSoul's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
The main appeal here is straightforward firm support at a genuinely low price, £175 to £252 depending on size. SleepSoul describes the feel as firm, which tends to suit back and front sleepers or anyone who finds softer mattresses leave them sinking. The 600 pocket springs conform to your body's shape, supporting you where you need it most, and SleepSoul says they help prevent the roll-together effect that can plague cheaper open-coil designs. A non-slip base keeps the mattress steady on your bed frame, a small touch that matters on divans and slatted bases. The comfort layers are slim, but the 10-year guarantee is reassuring at this price point.
Key Features & what's inside
- Top Layer. A layer of comfort quilting on the surface, which gives the firm mattress a slightly softer initial feel. It is what your skin actually touches, so it shapes that first impression when you lie down.
- Soft Foam. 1.5cm of soft foam sits beneath the quilting, providing deep comfort through consistent weight distribution. It is a thin layer, so expect cushioning rather than a plush, sink-in feel.
- Springs. 600 pocket springs conform to your body's shape, supporting you where you need it most. Because each spring is sewn into its own fabric pocket, SleepSoul says they help prevent the roll-together effect where couples drift into the middle.
- Non Slip Fabric. An anti-slip base for additional stability, which means the mattress is less likely to shift around on slats or a divan. A simple feature, but useful in practice.

Who's it NOT for?
This is a firm mattress with a slim 1.5cm foam comfort layer, so lightweight side sleepers may find it presses on hips and shoulders rather than letting them settle in. If you prefer a plush, cushioned surface, or you want deep foam contouring for pressure relief, look at softer or hybrid options instead.
SleepSoul Nebula Orthopaedic Pocket 600 Mattress in a Box

Is the SleepSoul Nebula Orthopaedic mattress firm?
Yes. SleepSoul rates it as firm, with 600 pocket springs providing the support and a thin layer of soft foam and comfort quilting on top. That combination suits back and front sleepers best, although lightweight side sleepers may find it a little too firm.
How long does the SleepSoul Nebula take to expand?
It arrives vacuum sealed in a box. SleepSoul says it expands to good condition within 2 hours and great condition within 24 hours, so you could sleep on it the same day, though leaving it a full day is ideal.
How deep is the SleepSoul Nebula Orthopaedic mattress?
It is 22cm deep. That is on the shallower side, which means most fitted sheets will fit easily, but it also reflects the fairly slim comfort layers above the springs.
Does the SleepSoul Nebula come with a guarantee?
Yes, SleepSoul lists a 10-year guarantee on its own site. That is a long span for a mattress at this price, from £175.54, and gives some reassurance about how the springs and foam should hold up.
What sizes does the SleepSoul Nebula come in?
It is available in UK Single, Small Double, Double and King, with prices ranging from £175 to £252 depending on the size you choose.
