Silentnight Eco Comfort Breathe 1400 Pocket Pillow Top Mattress

A good rigid support layer with full edge to edge support means you do not get the sinking characteristic associated with poorer quality mattresses when you move toward the edge of the mattress. This is great as it prevents falling out of the bed at night, but also prevents roll off and roll together allowing both you and your partner to have uninterrupted deep sleep.

This mattress comes with turning handles that will assist in the rotation and flipping of the product. May seem like no big deal selecting a mattress without handles, however, their use is critical in the movement of larger mattresses and can be the difference between pains and inconvenience and not.

Mattresses traditionally have a support layer with a comfort layer on top. Pillow top mattresses come with a further comfort layer that sits on top of the traditional comfort layer to give additional softness and a deeper nights sleep. Pillow tops are usually found on more premium products.

Piped edges are a type of edge finish that helps to protect the stitching on the seams of a mattress. This type of edge finish is often used on higher-end mattresses, as it helps to extend the life of the mattress by protecting the stitching from wear and tear.

This feature highlights the use of natural materials that inherently resist flames, ensuring safety without the reliance on potentially harmful chemicals. It offers peace of mind while promoting a healthier sleeping environment.

Nesting on top of an enhanced sleep surface made from recycled bottles, you’ll drift off to sleep with the serenity that comes only from knowing that like minded people like yourself are caring for our planet.

Meets BS7177: 2008 for domestic low hazard use. Testing covers resistance to a smouldering cigarette and a small flame the size of a match flame, not suitability for hotels or care homes.

Vegan-friendly is the brand's label for a mattress made without animal-derived materials such as wool or silk, and it leaves out what replaces them and whether anyone has certified it.

Marketed as helping prevent sleepers rolling together. This concerns two sleepers moving towards the middle of the bed, not whether either person can feel the other's movements.

Advertised as vegan-friendly and handcrafted in the UK. Production is claimed to be by a National Bed Federation approved member, whose audits cover fire safety and labelling.

A knitted Coolmax cover tops the bed. Silentnight calls it very soft and says its fabric moves moisture away from the sleeping surface without actively cooling the mattress.

Silentnight rates the feel as firm. Within its range, this indicates a sturdier surface with less give than softer options, helping buyers compare their preferred feel.

Within the core, Silentnight's Mirapocket system contains springs in individual fabric pockets, so each spring can respond separately to pressure from the sleeper.

Firm on the maker's own rating means less give than its medium, and it tends to appeal to sleepers who like more resistance. Compare within that maker's range.

National Bed Federation approval means the maker belongs to a scheme audited on fire safety, clean fillings and honest labelling, not comfort or firmness.

Silentnight presents the zoned spring layout as offering extra support where needed, using sections with different resistance to respond to body weight.

An additional padded section is sewn onto the mattress surface, creating an initial cushioned feel before body weight reaches the main support layers.

Made in the UK gives the country it was built in and little about quality on its own, so judge the materials, construction and guarantee separately.

Routine care excludes flipping because just the upper face is designed for sleeping. That removes the need to lift and turn the whole mattress over.

A foam-free build uses other materials for cushioning and support, making the spring system and filling choices central to how the mattress feels.

Silentnight's Mirapocket system uses separate fabric pockets, with each spring compressing independently to respond to weight in different areas.

Inside, 1400 Mirapocket springs occupy separate fabric pockets, allowing independent compression so the layer responds locally to your weight.

Only one side is intended for sleeping. Do not flip it; rotate from head to foot as instructed by the maker to spread wear across the surface.

The materials are pitched as less likely to trigger allergic reactions, so their composition is worth comparing with any known sensitivities.

Sold as fire resistant, not fireproof, with no test standard or testing conditions specified, so keep it away from flames and heat sources.

Knitted fabric uses interlocking loops that allow some stretch, so the cover can flex with the cushioning beneath it as pressure changes.

UK handcrafting is the brand's own description, and the share done by hand differs between makers, so weigh the materials alongside it.

Silentnight calls this cushioning material Eco Comfort Fibre, a fibre filling beneath the cover that softens the feel of the mattress.

The 1400 individually pocketed springs respond locally to weight, while wire thickness and fillings also influence the overall feel.

Silentnight markets Eco Comfort Fibres filling as sustainable, without specifying what the fibres contain or how they are sourced.

With 26cm (about 10.2 inches) of thickness, allow enough fitted-sheet pocket depth and factor it into the total bed height.

A five year guarantee comes with it. Check the retailer's terms for the fault criteria and for how to make a claim.

Marketed as having no added chemical treatments, this does not mean the materials themselves are chemical-free.

Firm is the brand's rating for a surface pitched as allowing less sinking; firmness scales vary between brands.

At 26cm deep, about 10.2 inches, the mattress needs a fitted sheet with enough pocket depth to accommodate it.

Hypoallergenic means the materials were picked to cut common allergy triggers, the brand says.

Coolmax cover fabric is marketed as moving moisture away from the sleeping surface.

A pillow top adds an extra padded layer sewn onto the sleeping surface.

Five years of guarantee cover come with it.
