Assessed from Tuft & Springs's published specification for this mattress, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
Extra firm mattresses with genuinely luxurious fillings are surprisingly hard to find, and that is where the Solace 2000 makes its case. Cashmere, silk and sustainably sourced British wool sit above the springs, which means the surface feels a little softer to the touch than the extra firm rating might suggest, even though the underlying support stays solid. Wool and cotton both help regulate temperature, so if you're a hot sleeper you should find it noticeably fresher than foam alternatives. It comes from an NBF-approved manufacturer with a 5-year guarantee, and the brand lists free next day delivery. Available in four sizes, from UK Single to UK Super King.
Key Features & what's inside
- Belgian Damask Viscose Sleep Surface. A silky, breathable damask cover, which means the sleeping surface stays fresher through the night. It feels smooth rather than synthetic.
- Silk. A light, soft silk layer sits at the top of the fillings. It adds a gentle, luxurious feel to the first point of contact.
- Sustainably Sourced British Wool. Wool provides gentle cushioning with impressive resilience, which means it keeps its comfort over time rather than flattening quickly. It also breathes well.
- Cotton. Cotton helps regulate body temperature, so you're less likely to overheat. It adds a little extra support and natural comfort too.
- Cashmere. Cashmere is softer and finer than wool and is a rare filling, generally reserved for quality mattresses. It contributes to the plush surface feel above the firm support.
- 2000 Pocket Springs. Each of the 2000 springs sits in its own fabric pocket and works independently, which means better pressure relief and less disturbance when a partner moves. This layer is where the extra firm support comes from.

Who's it NOT for?
This is genuinely extra firm, so lightweight side sleepers will likely find it too hard on hips and shoulders. If you like a cradling, sink-in feel, or you're used to memory foam, look elsewhere. And at 31cm deep, it may be too tall for shallow fitted sheets.

How firm is the Tuft & Springs Solace 2000?
It is rated extra firm, the firmest end of the scale. The natural fillings, including silk, wool and cashmere, soften the surface feel slightly, but the underlying support is very solid. It suits back and front sleepers who want a firm base, although lightweight side sleepers may find it too unyielding.
How many springs does the Solace 2000 mattress have?
It contains 2000 pocket springs, each mounted in its own fabric pocket. Because they move independently, the mattress responds to your body shape for better pressure relief and reduces motion transfer between partners.
Does the Tuft & Springs Solace 2000 come with a guarantee?
Yes, it comes with a 5-year guarantee. Tuft & Springs is an NBF-approved manufacturer, and the mattress meets the BS7177: 2008 fire resistance standard.
What sizes is the Solace 2000 available in?
Four sizes: UK Single, UK Double, UK King and UK Super King. Prices range from £499 to £799 depending on the size you choose.
How deep is the Solace 2000 mattress?
It is 31cm deep, which gives it a substantial, traditional feel. You may need deep fitted sheets to get a proper fit, so it's worth checking your bedding before it arrives.
