Wentworth Mercer Natural Pocket 2000 Mattress
The Wentworth Mercer Natural Pocket 2000 is a firm pocket spring mattress with 2,000 individually pocketed steel springs, which means each spring reacts to your body separately rather than the whole surface moving at once.

The Wentworth Mercer Natural Pocket 2000 tops its springs with cotton and polyester comfort layers that wick moisture and encourage airflow, useful if you tend to sleep warm. At 29cm deep, it's a reasonably substantial mattress, handcrafted in the UK and approved by the National Bed Federation. It's available in UK Single through Super King. It's a firm feel, so it suits back and front sleepers best, and it may feel too solid for lightweight side sleepers.

Why should you choose this mattress?
Choose this mattress if you want a genuinely firm feel with natural fibres near the surface. The cotton layer wicks moisture away, which means a drier, fresher sleep surface, while two layers of soft white fibres add a little cushioning and help the mattress hold its shape over time. The 2,000 pocket springs respond individually to pressure, so a heavier partner moving about is less likely to disturb you. It conforms to BS7177: 2008 for fire resistance. A five-year guarantee is shorter than some brands offer, but the price is fair for a UK-made pocket spring mattress with this spring count, and Mattress Online lists a 100-night trial with purchase.
Key features & layer details
Cotton comfort layer
Cotton fibres naturally wick away moisture, which means a drier, fresher feel through the night. This is the layer closest to you.
Polyester comfort layer
Polyester fibres encourage airflow to move heat and moisture away from your body. Helpful if you're a warm sleeper.
Soft white fibres
Two layers of soft white fibres provide cushioned comfort while helping the mattress retain its shape. They also add durability, so the surface should stay consistent for longer.
Pocket springs support system
A core of 2,000 sturdy steel springs, each encased in its own pocket, responds individually to motion and pressure. In practice, that means personalised support and less disturbance when a partner moves.

Best suited for?
Back sleepers
The firm feel keeps the surface solid and level beneath you, which suits anyone who lies on their back and wants a flat, supportive base.
Front sleepers
A firm tension over 2,000 pocket springs means your middle is less likely to sink into the mattress when you lie face down.
Warm sleepers
Cotton wicks moisture away and polyester encourages airflow to move heat off your body, so the surface should feel drier and fresher through the night.
Couples
Each of the 2,000 steel springs sits in its own pocket and responds individually, so you should feel less disturbance when your partner moves about.
Eco-conscious buyers
Natural cotton fibres sit in the layer closest to you, and the mattress is handcrafted in the UK, which suits anyone who prefers natural materials.
This is a firm mattress, so lightweight side sleepers may find there isn't enough give at the shoulders and hips. If you prefer the slow, contouring hug of memory foam, the springy, fibre-topped feel here will disappoint. And if you want a long guarantee, five years is on the shorter side.
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 Wentworth Mercer Natural Pocket 2000?
It's listed as firm, and owner reviews back that up while noting the fibre topping adds a softer surface feel over the firm base. It should suit back and front sleepers, although lightweight side sleepers may find it a little too solid.
Does the Wentworth Mercer Natural Pocket 2000 come with a trial?
Mattress Online lists a 100-night trial, and the page states this requires buying a mattress protector from them at the same time. These are the retailer's own terms rather than the manufacturer's, so check before you buy elsewhere.
How deep is the Wentworth Mercer Natural Pocket 2000?
It's 29cm deep, so most standard fitted sheets should fit, though it's a reasonably tall mattress. That depth comes from the pocket spring core plus the cotton, polyester and soft fibre comfort layers above it.
What guarantee does the Wentworth Mercer Natural Pocket 2000 have?
The Mattress Online listing states a 5-year guarantee. That's shorter than some brands offer, though the mattress is handcrafted in the UK and approved by the National Bed Federation, which offers some reassurance on build quality.
Is the Wentworth Mercer Natural Pocket 2000 good for hot sleepers?
It's a fair choice. The cotton layer wicks moisture and the polyester layer encourages airflow, and pocket spring cores generally breathe better than solid foam. Owner reviews mention freshness and no sweating, so warm sleepers should get on with it.
