Why our sleep experts loved it
A mattress with the support and comfort to keep you sleeping well for years to come. I got my hands on this one in-store and spent a good few minutes pressing into the middle and sitting on the edge, just to see what the Miracoil setup felt like in real life. The Ortho Miracoil® design of this mattress has been designed to provide orthopaedic support in the lumbar region of the spine and a gentle support in the rest of the body, helping you to maintain a healthy posture while you sleep. On my back it felt properly level through my hips and lower back, but when I rolled onto my side I could feel that firmer pushback around the shoulder, so lighter side sleepers might find it a bit unforgiving.
The Silentnight Amsterdam Miracoil Ortho Mattress is a firm mattress with orthopaedic support that contains Miracoil® springs. It is made from the renowned Eco Comfort Fibre™, with its Damask cover, which makes it elegant and attractive. Running my hand across the Damask, it felt smooth enough and it does look smart, but it isn't the sort of plush, sink-in cover you get on some pricier hybrids. One thing to be aware of with Miracoil is you do not get the same 'individual spring' feel as a pocket sprung mattress, and when I gave it a few firmer shoves with my palm the bounce felt more connected across the surface, so if you share with a fidget this might not isolate movement as well as you'd like.
If you're ready to upgrade your mattress, the Silentnight Miracoil Ortho Mattress is definitely worth a try.
For me personally, it suits back sleepers who want a firmer, more traditional orthopaedic feel, and it does that job well. If you're after a bit more pressure relief for side sleeping, or you want that quieter, more 'separate' response you get from pocket springs, I'd be looking at alternatives around the same price.
