Silentnight vs Hypnos 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.

Bought the super king size online. I can not fault this bed, however it is a VERY FIRM mattress - after 2 weeks sleeping on it it is now beginning to soften slightly, my husband who is over 6ft and weighs around 15 stone thinks it is wonderful, it is a bit hard for me though (but is getting there!) I was told in store to avoid this Miracoil mattress as it was not pocket sprung (which is why they don't have them in store to try out) but I think it is absolutely fine, we didn't have thousands to spend on a bed and bought this hoping it would last for a few years - it seems very well constructed and looks like it is built to last, I'm glad I didn't listen to the instore sales pitch for the pocket springs! There is absolutely no roll together, in fact I tend to fling myself as I swap from my side onto my back and then onto my side again and hubby doesn't even notice I'm moving now! The drawers are on the small side but are sturdy and well built, and the dark grey fabric of the base is a good neutral colour. Fab delivery team, very curteous and clean - even put shoe covers on, and came within the 2 hour delivery slot I was given. Definitely recommend this bed.

Highly recommend. My wife has struggled for years with back pain, due to her having HEDS. The pain she got from sleeping in bed, caused stiffness and pain throughout the day. After some research we discovered we needed a firm spring mattress to solve this, to fully support her spine. We went into our local store, and tried every single bed.. and this one, was the one. Bought it, and had it delivered. It took a good 6 months for our backs to become adjusted to the firmness of this mattress, as the ones in the store are softer from being tried so much. We bought the tempur waterproof cover, as it is breathable and has the highest reviews. We also bought the John Lewis dual layer mattress topper to help us while we was getting used to the firmness. 6m on and we are fully adjusted to the mattress, every night we sleep peacefully, and most importantly no more pain in my wifes back. I can't recommend this item enough, its a complete gamechanger. I feel so well rested every morning, it brings a smile to my face everyday to wake up, and to get in at night!.

Having conducted much research into getting a new mattress I'd decided that I did not want any which would be involved in the involvement with too much in the way of chemicals being used such as can be found in many foam mattresses. Also given the fact that people might readily shell out 2k on a two week holiday but then scrimp on spending the same amount on a mattress ( which they would potentially spend a third of their lifetime sleeping on ) I decided that if they're good enough for royalty then they're just about good enough for me. I plumped for the Hypnos Earth 2 ( even though it has hardly any reviews) and am very pleased with my purchase three weeks later. It offers decent support yet isn't too hard and my backache has subsided somewhat since and am sleeping better. So my verdict is to go for it and at least try oneafter all you only live once ( on Earth- get it ? )

We are extremely happy with our new mattress. The knowledge of staff and assistance we received at the White City Manchester branch when we chose it was excellent. We have always had an extra firm mattress, however, as we have got older we decided it was time for a bit more comfort. So glad we chose this mattress, it is comfortable but gives the right amount of support. The pillow top makes it feel very cosy. It does have a slight smell, but it is not unpleasant and with regular airing of the mattress it is dissipating. We are definitely sleeping better. So happy with our purchase.

This is an excellent mattress, and we've had a great buying experience. The mattress is firm, and very comfortable... and it's made to a very high standard. The purchase journey and delivery were frictionless, and I had the option to easily reschedule the delivery when my initial delivery date conflicted with something. On the morning of delivery, everything was smooth - I received a call to confirm a more accurate delivery time, the delivery team were careful and courteous, and took the (extremely heavy) mattress right to the bedframe. No complaints at all!

We absolutely love our new bed. It's so comfortable and took no getting used to at all, it's amazing. We bought another bed from Bensons for outr guest room earlier in the year and decided then that there was only one bed for us. We took the plunge and decided to get it ordered and so glad we did. It may be expensive, but in my opinion, it"'s worth every penny. Thanks again to the Zamier at Bensons Bolton who looked after our request brilliantly but also to the delivery crew, Mick and Kelvin who were amazing, polite, quick and super efficient. Thanks again.

Absolutely love my Earth 04 HYPNOS MATTRESS. I have wanted a HYPNOS Mattress ever since sleeping on one in a Premier Inn a few years ago. I'm so so comfy, warm & relaxed. I have found that I get over to sleep so much quicker than I ever did in any other bed/mattress I have previously slept on. I was always tossing & turning and I was always so frustrated, through sheer lack of sleep. I never want another Brand Mattress ever Again. Only HYPNOS. 100% recommend HYPNOS!! "Goodnight, Sleep Well I know I will"
