Silentnight vs Harrison-Spinks Mattresses

This is the first mattress I've ever bought. That's not to say I've never had a mattress in my possession before, it's just that, at the age of 32, this is the first one I have actually purchased myself. To an inexperienced customer, the world of mattress shopping is a daunting and complex domain, populated by a practically endless set of variables which one might never have previously considered, including 'pocket springs', 'coils' and 'memory foam', on top of the standard 'three amigos' of retail: price, brand and size. A visit to John Lewis with my girlfriend (a mattress-buying veteran who provided a welcome guiding hand) one evening after work provided an opportunity for us to get to grips with some of the many options first-hand. This was an investment of time I recommend to anyone in advance of considering making such a life-defining purchase online. I learned from this trip that the upper limit of what one can spend on a mattress is practically (but crucially, not literally) infinite. This was also the point at which the inherent gamble involved in the endeavour of mattress-purchasing was laid bare to me, with the stark realisation that no amount of casual testing of a mattress in-store could ever be sufficient to know what it would actually *be like* to sleep on one, let alone spend hundreds - and probably thousands - of nights cuddled up in (hopefully) restful slumber. After literally minutes of consideration, we left the store with a reasonably-priced, reliably-branded double 1200 pocket sprung memory foam option in mind and gainfully treated ourselves to dinner at an American BBQ restaurant as reward for our evening's work (which was, as it happens, dimly-lit and somewhat disappointing, though this is not our concern here). In the end, we went to Mattresses Online and bought what looked like a similar option, except with 1000 not 1200 pocket springs. Our experience thus far has been positive. We have not felt at all poorer for the 200 less pocket springs, and the memory foam element provides welcomingly soft cushioning, like laying down into the warm embrace of soft, yet firm, human flesh. I fully endorse this mattress.

I bought this 2 weeks ago and it’s been amazing so far, the pocket springs combined with the memory foam pillow top makes this bed very comfy and a dream to sleep on! Far better than my old simba hybrid mattress as that one was all memory foam, Good pocket springs from a reputable company like silent night are the way to go! And the fact this bed has a pillow top to make it that lil bit comfier is great, the pillow top is lowkey essential.. The bed come a bit firmer than I’d have liked took 3 nights to break it in, then it was perfect and it’s been very comfy ever since! I didn’t see this bed in store as it’s online only but I’m so glad I went with this one absolute dream! Only negative I do have is the fact it took 2-3 weeks to arrive which meant I had to sleep on my neighbours 10 year old mattress while I waited for it to come, defo worth it though. Positives • Very comfortable • Pocket springs provide adequate support without reducing any comfort • It looks like a well built mattress that will last a long time • 8 year guarantee for a extra fee but wasn’t too expensive for the peace of mind provided • Look for excuses to get to bed earlier now • Perfect size (little bit smaller than my simba double but works well with my bed frame) • Good height mattress! • Mirapocket zoned springs are a great help to provide support & comfort Negatives • Took what felt like a month for the item to arrive • Can’t see the item in any store in the Uk for some reason it’s online only which is annoying • No handles on the sides so turning the bed round is a ball ache!! Overall I’d give it 5 stars so far I may do another review 6 months in and let you all know how I get on with it as I’m aware mattresses can change from 2 weeks - 6 months hopefully this one stays comfortable and supportive it looks well built so I’ve got a feeling this will be the case..

This is a REALLY firm mattress, like sleeping on a floor. That is just what I wanted.I have a genetic condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, which means my skeleton is not held in place properly due to my connective tissue being 'floppy'. This is the best mattress I have ever owned (far better than 'luxury' brands costing upwards of £1,000) and supports my skeleton perfectly. At last, I can have a comfortable night's sleep and not wake up with dislocated joints (yes, that does happen) and severe pain all over my body.So, for me, this mattress is heaven itself.However, you have to realise that this is like sleeping on a breeze block for most of your body. If your current mattress is saggy, it is probably because it's old or worn or hasn't been turned properly. Do not buy a 'very firm' mattress to replace it unless you want a really HARD bed! Pretty much any new mattress will be firmer than an old one. This mattress is designed for people who are obese or disabled or have an extremely bad back that is permanent. I would imagine that for other people it would be way too firm. So beware of that before you buy.But if you know you want a very firm mattress, then believe me, you can't do better than this for the price. So long as you rotate it every week initially as recommended (after two months you can rotate it once a month), it does not sag. I have had mine about six weeks now and there is no sag whatsoever.

I am both a 'hot sleeper' who has the problem of heat build up in the mattress comfort layers, and also someone who prefers a very firm mattress as good for back support. The BE1400 therefore seemed ideal. After trialling for 30 days a mixed outcome. The mattress generally good at preventing overheating, much better than many I've tried (including very hot memory foam, and supposedly cooling wool/natural ones that also got very hot in my experience). However, still some heat build up in the comfort layers and I'd describe as a warm mattress rather than cool one. I was waking 2-3 times a week and having to shift position to a cooler part of the mattress, but still much better than the foam or wool mattresses. Main surprise though was that the mattress was exceedingly firm, with almost no give at all. I like a firm mattress but even so would have liked a little more and the mattress maybe better for heavier sleepers (I'm 84 kg) - but did mean no back pain and slept very well in that respect. In the end after the trial though I swapped to the almost identical BE1000 version, which is a little less firm. Also one other observation, the aloe vera infusion was very subtle and not noticeable once sheets on, but nice to have.

I've had this mattress around 6 months and bought it based on positive reviews here. I wanted medium to firm mattress to help my back pain. The order and delivery service from Dreams website was pleasant, smooth and easy. Really glad I couldn't send this mattress back within first 100 days as I initially found it too firm and it caused me pain. I realised it may need time to 'soften up'. In the meantime I bought a Silentnight 1" mattress topper, which immediately did the trick! The mattress with only a 1" was so comfortable and lovely to sleep on. After a couple of months when the warmer summer nights arrived I removed the mattress topper and wow the mattress on its own was great! Nice and comfortable and cool for the warmer nights. Had no pain at all and had great sleeps. This past few weeks I've reapplied the mattress topper for the winter cooler nights, and wow again, such comfort! Overall this mattress is great has improved my sleep. I really look forward to going to bed (and early!) every night. When I'm away I look forward to coming home to my own bed and this new comfy mattress. Thank you Dreams and Silentnight! I will be a returning customer when this mattress has had its day.

We'd had a Tempur Cloud for over a decade and loved it. The only reason for even considering a new mattress was our move to a new home and wanting to upgrade to a Super King bed. So we purchased the frame and nearly ordered a Tempur simply off our existing experience - but at the last moment decided to go and see if things had progressed in the time we've owned our current setup. Lowe and behold, as soon as we lay on this mattress we knew we had to have it. Its now been with us for nearly a month and it is scary just how accustom to this level of comfort I've become. Good sleep is the kind of thing you don't think about too much until you don't have it. This mattress has me forgetting about uncomfortable tossing and turning, pressure points and general discomfort. You feel your body melt as soon as you lay on it and at no point does that feeling change until you get up again. Suffice to say, we love it.

Just purchased my first Harrison Spinks mattress and it's wonderful. I was looking to purchase another Vispring in store but I needed a no bounce mattress and this is perfect. At super king size it's huge but the delivery guys managed to get it up the stairwell, just!! The mattress is deep, beautifully made and very comfortable. I bought it with the removable topper to offer a choice in comfort and so far the mattress on it's own is just right. If you are looking for a good well supported sleep on a pocket sprung mattress this is an excellent choice and I would highly recommend Harrison Spinks for quality and workmanship.

Amazing mattress. Extremely comfortable and supportive. Also keeps you cool too, so easier to maintain temperature for comfort remaining all night long. The only negative is the smell… it was explained throughout the sales process how Harrison Spinks mattresses are hand made on the farm the materials are sourced from and the smell would go after airing, but it does last quite a number of weeks, despite it being left in a ventilated room unused for a week beforehand. The whole Furniture Village experience was great, from entering store to delivery. Cannot fault it.

Quality is obvious. If we hadn??t had a tempur for over ten years, I would say this is a really comfy bed and would be happy for its life time use. Albeit, only five years gauranteed!Having had a tempur though, I would probably revert back.Mainly due to spouse requiring that extra softness and a complete awareness removal from any turn/roll movement by partner. While this is a fantastic make and constructed with the Best Materials, we have been served well with the tempur and too be honest, can say, there aren??t any regrets with the purchase.

I had my old mattress for years so I thought I would treat myself to a new but better one and came across this company who have a large range of mattresses so I wanted one with lots of springs and better support than my old one so I choose this one ,it's thicker than my old one but gives me that support I was after and it also has handles on both sides so will be easier to move when needed ,a good purchase.
