Why our sleep experts loved it

The Silentnight Epping Miracoil Mattress is one of the most reasonably priced mattresses from Silentnight, starting at less than £200, this mattress features the popular miracoil technology as it's base. I found the miracoil springs offer an amount of contouring to your body and for the price seemed quite good.

The Silentnight Epping Miracoil Mattress is very firm, making it suitable for only those that are either looking for a firm mattress through personal preference, or those experiencing back and neck pain and looking for some form of relief. The firm tension also suits those that are back or stomach sleepers or have a higher BMI than average.

Made in the UK, the Silentnight brand is one of the biggest in the mattress industry and probably the most recognisable in the country, featuring it's famous hippo and duck characters, this brand frequently impresses.

Overall i think this mattress has a lot of potential for the right person. For those that are not looking for a very firm mattress, this may not be suitable so please use the mattress wizard above to check eligibility. For the price, it's a no brainer though and one that I'd like to see in other tensions in the future.

Despite being one of the better selling extra firm mattresses in the Silentnight lineup, it has quite limited reviews due to being such a specialist product. That said, we've managed to find 200+ at time of writing that give a fairly good indication of what we are working with. Due to the specialist nature of this product it means that those buying are typically buying for a specific purpose and as a result consumer satisfaction is some of the highest I've seen with an impressive 97% consumer satisfaction. Reviews make mention of the comfort offered from the miracoil springs and how it is providing people with deep and rejuvenated sleep.

Negative reviews are far rarer than normal given the specialist nature and as a result there's not too much to mention with the only real negative feedback around the mattress being too firm for some. Not to be entirely unexpected given the extra-firm designation.

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

  • 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.

Having slept for months in a 'hole' on a tired out mattress our backs could take no more and this product was the answer. The delivery date at time of purchase was when it actually arrived. Tick. The delivery time text and email arrived and was accurate. Tick. The delivery team called to confirm their imminent arrival. Tick. They recycled our old mattress (pre-arranged small charge but well worth it) and replaced it with our new one in around ten minutes and were courteous and considerate in our home. Major tick. 'Very firm' is just that, we bought without trying, knowing we could always add a Silentnight topper if we needed to soften things slightly (compromise with the wife). End result is a fancy looking mattress (well, until we put our 'fancy' bedding on...) and a good, supported night's sleep at a decent temperature. First class in every way! Highly recommended product from a highly recommended Dreams.

This mattress has given me my life back. Seriously! And its my reason for getting up...simply so that I can relish my time going back to bed when the day is done! Sometimes we dont realise how bad things have got, until we make changes for the better. Thats what happened with me and my new mattress. I had no idea just how poor the quality of my sleep had become....until it was no longer a night of uncomfortable turnings because of my aching back. I feel ten years younger already and Ill never leave it so long to update my mattress again. I absolutely LOVE it. Love it, love it, love it. If you could ever imagine sleeping on a firm, kind and generous cloud, youre getting near to what my nights now feel like!

My son desperately needed a new mattress, so after much searching i came across Dreams. After looking through a few, i came across the one i chose! Not only was it a great price, the payment options were such that i could spread the payment making it more affordable and i could choose to have the old one taken away! When it was delivered and my son spent his first night on it, he said he had the best nights sleep he had had for many months. So over all it was a great choice, reasonably priced Mattress, and the service was excellent. Very happy and pleased overall, thank you Dreams!

I have a severe back condition and the last three mattresses let me down support wise, to my great relief I have found the mattress of my dreams. Instead of waking every hour or so to reposition myself, I have placed my head on my pillow and next thing its morning with a lot less back pain and the most restful sleep I have had in years. I have had this condition for over 20 years and have tried many types of mattresses and now I can honestly say if you suffer lower back pain this could be the one for you. Thanks for making this mattress.

I bought this mattress to replace a old pocket sprung mattress that springs had failed, this is much more sturdy classic design and i feel it could easily last 10 years. Always buy a extra firm mattress as springs soften with age and firm support for the spine is very important rather than this trendy cheap memory foam alternatives. Also after taking apart my old pocket sprung mattress i was horrified how planned obsolescence is built into pocket sprung mattresses. Buy the old fashioned non pocket sprung mattresses while you still can!

I have been looking for an extra firm mattress for a while, I do suffer with back and neck and was waking up in so much pain and discomfort. After debating whether to go for one of the many memory foam mattresses on the market, that seem so popular, I decided to go with good old Silentnight. I am very pleased I did. Lovely firm mattress, very supportive. Is helping my back a lot and I actually feel relaxed now when I go to bed, instead of struggling to get comfortable. Appears excellent quality and well made. Highly recommend.

I am very pleased with our new Slumberland mattress and from the ordering process through to the delivery of the item we were kept fully updated and informed and given a timed delivery slot. We choose to use the recycling service for the old mattress and again the service was second to none. We were sent packaging to wrap the old mattress prior to the delivery date and the delivery of the new mattress and the collection of the old mattress were carried out at the same time. I would certainly recommend Dreams.

It takes a new mattress experience to discover how uncomfortable the one that it replaced was, we had forgotten how many years old it was and we now wake up more refreshed than ever. Got a mattress around ten years old ? replace it you won't regret it and buying from Dreams is a simple and rewarding experience at unbelievable prices with excellent customer service and an obliging and friendly delivery team to offer whatever assistance they can. I wish we had done it years ago. Many thanks to all at Dreams.

Im really happy with my purchase, as someone who has a history of back problems I was dreading having to pay out a small fortune to get something just right for me so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the feedback from people who had bought this mattress. I decided to give it a go as Im on a tight budget and Im glad I did, I dont wake up with aches and twinges for the first hour of day each day like I used to and I get much better quality of sleep. I recommend this mattress, great value for money.

Bought this about two months ago as my previous mattress was nearly 8 years old and I was waking up with a very painful and stiff back - had this new mattress now for over one month and it has provided a blissful restive night's sleep with less pain and stiffness for my back condition. I am so glad I purchased it and it was well worth the money. The only suggestion would be to add handles to the sides of the mattress to make turning the mattress easier especially if you have a back condition.

Really happy with this mattress. Had been waking up with lower back aches for months without considering replacing my mattress, wish I had done sooner. Would consider this a very firm mattress, but with enough 'padding' on the top layer to keep it really comfortable. I'm a back sleeper - and this has been ideal. Have had excellent fortnight of sleeps so far with noticeably less aches in the mornings. Happy with the product, delivery was well communicated, couldn't ask for more really.

At last, I bid farewell to my old mattress, well past its prime, and welcome a new one. It took a few days to get used to a mattress that - well, one that works! Once my body adjusted to having support again, I am now able to sleep in chunks of 3-4 hours at once. This may not sound much to some of you, but for me it's worth it's weight in gold as I no longer feel quite so much like I've just been exhumed when I leave for work each morning.

What's the maintenance like? I'm not into high-maintenance stuff.

Answer: No worries, this mattress is pretty low-key. It's single-sided, so you can skip the gym session of flipping it over. Just rotate it head-to-toe weekly for the first three months and then once a month after that. Easy peasy!
