The Wentworth Mercer Deluxe Wool 4000 has 4,000 pocket springs that move independently, which means the mattress responds to your shape rather than the whole surface shifting when you move. At 29cm deep and handcrafted in the UK, it sits at the more traditional end of the market. If you like a supportive, natural-feel bed rather than the hug of memory foam, this is the sort of mattress to shortlist, although lighter side sleepers may find the firm feel a little unforgiving.

Why should you choose this mattress?
The main draw here is the spring count paired with natural fillings. The 4,000 pocket springs adapt to your movements independently, which means better support along your spine and less disturbance from a partner. Wool sits above the springs, a fibre that helps regulate temperature, so hot sleepers should find it more forgiving than foam. Note that the listing states this mattress as firm, so it suits back and front sleepers, and heavier bodies, better than lightweight side sleepers. It carries a 5-year guarantee, is a National Bed Federation approved brand, and Mattress Online lists a 100-night trial with free delivery to most locations, so there is a reasonable safety net if the feel isn't right.
Key features & layer details
Cover
A viscose cover, a soft breathable fabric, finished to a high standard. It gives the sleeping surface a smooth, cosy feel.
Wool
A plush layer of wool fibres for a luxuriously cosy feel. Wool also naturally helps with temperature regulation, so it tends to suit warmer sleepers.
Soft White Fibres
Soft synthetic polyester fillings layered on top of the springs for extra comfort. These add a gentle cushioning between you and the firm support below.
Pocket Springs
The core is 4,000 pocket springs, made from twice tempered steel, that adapt to your shape and movements. Each spring moves independently, which means personalised support and less motion transfer across the bed.

Best suited for?
Back sleepers
The medium firm feel and 4,000 independent pocket springs give steady support under the spine, so your body stays level rather than sinking in.
Front sleepers
Firm support from the pocket spring core helps keep your hips from dropping too low, while the soft fibre layer adds gentle cushioning above.
Heavier sleepers
Twice tempered steel pocket springs and a 29cm depth give a sturdy, supportive base that should resist sinking more than a softer foam bed.
Warm sleepers
A layer of wool above the springs naturally helps regulate temperature, so the bed should feel more forgiving on warm nights than a foam mattress.
Couples
Each spring moves independently, which means less motion transfer across the bed, so you are less likely to feel a partner turning over.
This is a firm mattress, so lightweight side sleepers may find it presses on the hips and shoulders rather than letting them sink in. If you love the slow, contouring hug of memory foam, the springy, traditional feel here won't give you that. Budget shoppers may also find the larger sizes a stretch.
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 Wentworth Mercer Deluxe Wool 4000 firm or medium firm?
The product listing rates it as firm, though you may see it described elsewhere as medium firm. Treat it as a firm mattress: good for back and front sleepers and those who like solid support, less suited to lightweight side sleepers.
Does the Wentworth Mercer Deluxe Wool 4000 come with a trial?
Mattress Online lists a 100-night trial on this mattress. That trial is the retailer's own offer rather than a manufacturer promise, so check the terms wherever you buy. The mattress itself carries a 5-year guarantee.
How many springs does the Deluxe Wool 4000 mattress have?
It contains 4,000 pocket springs made from twice tempered steel. Each spring moves independently of its neighbours, which means the mattress adapts to your shape and reduces the ripple effect when a partner moves.
What sizes does the Wentworth Mercer Deluxe Wool 4000 come in?
It's available in UK Single, Small Double, Double, King and Super King. The mattress is 29cm deep, so check your fitted sheets will stretch to a deeper profile.
Is the Wentworth Mercer Deluxe Wool 4000 made in the UK?
Yes, it's handcrafted in the UK, and Wentworth Mercer is a National Bed Federation approved brand. It also conforms to BS7177: 2008 fire resistance standards for home use.
