The Tuft & Springs Solace 2000 Extra Firm combines 2000 pocket springs, which means each spring moves independently and responds to your body rather than your partner's, with fillings of silk, British wool, cotton and cashmere. At 31cm deep it has a substantial, traditional feel. The firmness is exactly what the name suggests: extra firm, so this is a mattress for those who genuinely want a solid sleeping surface, typically back and front sleepers or heavier bodies. The price is reasonable for a mattress with this level of natural filling.

Why should you choose this mattress?
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 & layer details
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.

Best suited for?
Back sleepers
The extra firm pocket spring layer gives a solid, level surface, which suits anyone who wants steady support beneath the spine while lying flat.
Front sleepers
Extra firm support from the 2000 pocket springs keeps the body from sinking in, which helps when you sleep face down on a flat surface.
Heavier sleepers
Each of the 2000 springs sits in its own pocket and the support layer is extra firm, so a heavier body is held up on a solid base.
Warm sleepers
Wool and cotton both help regulate temperature, which means this should feel fresher through the night than a foam mattress would.
Couples
Every spring works independently in its own fabric pocket, which means you should feel less disturbance when your partner moves during the night.
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.
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
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.
How deep is the Solace 2000 mattress?
