Good quality pocket sprung mattress at a fair price point.

Lots of sizes available including rarer euro sizing.

Medium firm tensions work well for most sleepers.

Reviews are strong with plenty of happy customers.

Soft white fibres is a cheaper option on the comfort layer, I personally prefer latex or gel, however, for the price this represents a fantastic oppertunity.

Why our sleep experts loved it

Are you looking for the perfect mattress for your child? Or perhaps you need a new one for yourself and your partner? Whatever your reason, you’ve come to the right place. In this Shire Madrid 1000 Pocket Mattress review, we will discuss everything you need to know before making your final decision.

What is the Shire Madrid 1000 Pocket Mattress?

The Shire Madrid 1000 Pocket Mattress is a premium pocket sprung bed sold by Mattress Next Day from the popular Shire Bed Company. The mattress looks to provide you and your partner with a comfortable night’s sleep thanks to its strong and preferable pocket spring system paired alongside a soft white fibre comfort layer.

The base layer is made of a 6-inch pocket coil system that is designed to provide you with a great night’s sleep. Pocket springs are typically favourable as they give you a great nights sleep at a reasonable price point with full body contouring and no roll off or roll together issues that occur in lesser quality spring and reflex foam systems.

This pocket springs give additional breathability thanks to their vented design which helps keep you at the right temperature regardless of the season.

Because of its pocket coil system, the Shire Madrid 1000 pocket spring mattress is known to provide great support and a great night’s sleep.

This white fiber works alongside the spring layer and is what makes the mattress feel so plush, and you can rest assured it is not going to lose its comfort over time.

Pricing

The price of the Shire Madrid 1000 pocket sprung mattress varies depending on the size you purchase, so it is important to know what you are looking for.

Firmness

How do you select the perfect firmness for your sleep style? There are two main factors that determine the feeling of a mattress: the amount of fill in the comfort layer and the tension in the wound spring support layer

In order to select the correct firmness it will depend on things like your height and weight. For a one-size-fits-all approach we generally recommend a medium or medium firm tension as the "goldilocks" approach as this is most suitable for the average person with an average BMI. For those who sleep more on their side, a softer mattress can be recommended, while those who sleep on their back will typically prefer slightly firmer.

Suitability

*Assuming average weight, suitability will vary dependant on body type, use the quiz above for a more tailored guide.
  • Back Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • The amount of support offered from a mattress will vary depending on the firmness of the tension and the type of support layer used. Based on a person of average build.
  • Side Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • If you sleep on your side you typically need a supportive tension that is not too firm, nor too soft. This is because your hips and shoulders need adequate sinkage.
  • Stomach Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Stomach sleepers need a reasonable amount of tension in the base support layer to adequately offer body contouring and help prevent aches and pains. Results will vary based on your build.

Performance

  • Breathability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials like memory foam can make it difficult to move about on the mattress while you toss and turn. Same too for pillow tops which can create a cloud like sensation which can make manoeuvrability challenging.
  • Stability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Depending on the type of support layer in place can have an impact on stability, edge to edge support and roll together prevention. Pocket springs of a firmer tension will have better stability than open coil soft tension, for example.

Odour

  • Initial Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Materials in mattresses, particularly memory foam and rolled bed-in-a-box mattresses can have an initial odour, this is typically short term and reduces considerably within 24 hours.
  • Long Standing Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials inside different mattresses can produce a small odour. Typically this is short term rather than long standing but there are minor exceptions.

Brand Rating

  • Overall Brand Rating
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • This is based on community driven customer reviews tied to product reviews and grouped together at a brand level to produce a score.

Astounded and astonished, I have always been wary of buying anything like this on line as I like to try before I buy. I was wary because at this price how can a mattress be any good right. I bought it as a gift for a friend who liked my mattress, a good firm pocket spring type which cost significantly more than this one, still I took the gamble after all I can send it back if it is no good. When it arrived, we took off the outer wrapper and laid it on the floor, expecting the worst I lay on the new mattress, I was amazed at just how solid and comfortable it was. My partner also laid on it and was equally amazed, it really is an extremely good quality, well made product that was very comfortable. At this price you really cannot go wrong, I would rate it as firm rather than medium to firm but that if just my opinion. If you like a comfortable firm mattress give it a go you will not be disappointed.

I was very dubious purchasing a mattress online as you dont really know if its going to be the right firmness. After reading the reviews and knowing my children have shire mattresss, we opted for this one. It is such a great quality mattress especially for the price. Couldnt be happier. Some might find it on the softer side. But I think its just the cushioning of the mattress. Our last mattress was purchased over 12 years ago, and I had no idea just how bad it was until I slept on this one. Would highly recommend.

The mattress is exactly what I needed the only slight negative which nothing to do with next day mattress is that the delivery company they used sent the mattress with just one delivery person and he had to struggle to carry the mattress on his own luckily it was not raining as the only way he could move it was to roll it along the ground end to end as I couldnt help as I had damage the nerves in my neck

I like my new mattress, however, it is taking a while to get used to the firmness of it, after sleeping on my old mattress for several years! also, I didn't take into account the 'buttoned' appearance of the mattress; my previous one was flat and so this is another thing to get used to.Overall, I am really pleased with the comfort of it and would recommend to those that like a firmer sleeping surface.

This mattress is a god send for people with spine issues. I can honestly say that I am sleeping better since I have had my new mattress. I am disabled and a heavy lady so read other peoples reviews as I did to make up your mind. Not soft at all but not mega firm either. It has just the right balance for me and I highly recommend to everyone

This mattress is like sleeping on a cloud. The firmness is definitely medium firm as described which is perfect for me - soft enough for a cosy nights sleep but firm enough that it doesnt squish up when you move. Very good value for money and efficient delivery, I was updated with every step of tracking.

Ive only had this mattress a few days, but seems comfortable so far. Its double-sides as well, unlike other pocket sprung mattresses ive had previously. There was minimal labels on the packaging, and the branding is different to that described on the website, but overall im pleased

Great mattress firm and luxurious. Took a few days for me to settle on it as previous mattress was medium. I purchased a topper to help with the firmness but overall it's a very good high quality mattress.

Fantastic price for this mattress, I am sure you won't find anything as good as this at a better price. If you want a very comfortable king size mattress at a great price, look no further.

Comfortable medium firm. Really takes off the pressure on my neck shoulders and lower back - which are my problem areas because of my previous cheap mattress. I sleep like a baby now :)
