Pros & Cons

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and a decade of industry insight.

  • 600 individually-pocketed Mirapocket springs respond to your body shape and reduce partner movement.
  • Medium comfort level suits most sleepers whether you lie on your back, side or stomach (although this particular model tested a little firmer in our analysis).
  • Made in the UK with hypoallergenic fillings and sustainable Eco Comfort fibres, offering a cleaner sleeping environment.
  • Single-sided design means no flipping needed, so it’s easier to manage for everyday use.
  • Depth of around 23.5 cm means it may feel less plush than higher-end mattresses with thicker comfort layers.
  • Medium support may not be firm enough for heavier sleepers or those who need strong spinal support.
  • Although the single-sided design removes flipping, you still need to rotate it regularly to maintain even wear.
  • Lacks the advanced comfort materials such as memory foam or gel layers found in luxury models, so may feel more classic than high-tech.

Why our sleep experts loved it

Silentnight Essentials 600 Mirapocket Mattress is a well balanced pocket sprung mattress that offers good everyday comfort for an entry level price. Its 600 individually housed Mirapocket springs and layers of Eco Comfort fibres combine to make a mattress with a good balance of support, breathability and sustainability. It is a no frills, reliable mattress that shows just why Silentnight is one of Britain’s most trusted names.

Design & First Impressions

The mattress makes a good first impression for its price. It comes vacuum packed and rolled for easy handling and passage through narrower doorways. Once out of the packaging it will expand to its full 23.5cm depth in a few hours. The quilted cover is smooth to the touch and has the trademark Silentnight clean look; it’s subtle and practical. It feels like a well made product with no loose stitching or thin panels that are often the downfall of economy models.

Construction & Materials

The mattress is constructed with a 600 count Mirapocket spring system with layers of Silentnight Eco Comfort fibres. The springs are each individually wrapped in a fabric pocket which allow the springs to move independently of each other. This means they can react to individual areas of body shape and weight without affecting the rest of the mattress. This targeted response ensures support where it is needed most, around hips and lower back in particular. Over the springs is the Eco Comfort layer made from a mix of recycled and sustainable materials. This results in a light, airy construction that gives good breathability and cooling. The result is a feeling of being both supported and fresh, without luxury levels of padding.

Comfort & Feel

Although the mattress is marketed as a medium tension, the Essentials 600 is on the firmer side of medium. It gives a steady and supportive feel under the shoulders and lower back, but might be felt as a little firm without a mattress topper by side sleepers. It softens slightly after a period of breaking in, offering a generally well balanced level of comfort for most sleepers. There is a slight spring sensation when lying directly on the surface, which is expected for a mattress of this price point. This would be easily offset with a topper or thicker bedding. All in all the comfort level is good, with strong pushback support being ideal for back and combination sleepers.

Performance & Support

The Mirapocket spring system is where this mattress truly excels. It gives a firm and consistent level of support over the sleep surface, while also limiting partner disturbance. This is a huge improvement on older, traditional open coil systems and shows the clear advantages of pocket sprung technology. Edge support is average, with a certain amount of give when sitting on the side but a comfortable amount of lying space. For a mattress at this depth it does a good job of maintaining spinal alignment and pressure reduction at hips and shoulders. The springs are quiet and respond swiftly to positional changes which contributes to the overall sense of a stable sleep surface.

Temperature Regulation

Thanks to the use of breathable Eco Comfort fibres the mattress remains pleasantly cool throughout the night. Air is allowed to circulate freely through the layers which helps to dissipate heat and moisture. The lack of dense foam also helps to prevent heat build up which makes it suitable for people who find that memory foam mattresses become too warm. It is not as cool as a fully natural fibre model, but it performs very well for its category and price bracket.

Practical Features

This is a single sided mattress so there is no need to flip it over. Regular rotation a few times a year will help to maintain its shape and stop any dips from forming. The lightweight design makes this easy for a single person to rotate. The mattress is also hypoallergenic and manufactured in the UK by an NBF approved manufacturer. This gives added reassurance around safety and build quality. The five year guarantee is very good for a mattress in this class and shows Silentnight have confidence in their quality control.

Everyday Use

In day to day use the Essentials 600 provides a consistent and reliable sleep experience. It gives a firmer surface than expected for this mattress type, which works well for back and stomach sleepers in particular. It is also great for couples as it limits motion transfer and the springs don’t move around audibly. The mattress feels like it is sturdy enough for day to day use. The springs are noticeable under lightweight bedding but the structure as a whole feels balanced and long lasting. A mattress topper would greatly increase plushness for side sleepers.

Who it suits

This mattress is great for people who want dependable quality at a budget price. It’s an excellent option for spare rooms, rental properties and starter homes. Back and combination sleepers will most likely find the medium firm feel of this mattress ideal. Eco conscious shoppers will be happy with the recycled Eco Comfort fibres, and allergy sufferers will be helped by the hypoallergenic finish.

Who it doesn’t suit

Side sleepers who like a softer, more cushioned surface may find the Essentials 600 a little firm. Heavier sleepers may prefer a deeper spring count mattress for more support. The build quality is good for this price range, but anyone seeking luxury or who is used to more high end hybrids will notice the more modest depth and finish.

Verdict

The Silentnight Essentials 600 Mirapocket Mattress is good value for money and an honest comfort choice. It provides solid support, sustainable materials and reassuring craftsmanship at a sensible price. It lacks the luxury and depth of higher end models, but it offers everything most people need for a supportive, restful night’s sleep. An all round great choice for anyone who wants to avoid spending money they don’t need to.

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.
