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.

Mirapocket springs are a twist on traditional pocket springs. They perform admirably and there are people happy with their Mirapocket mattresses a decade later and still going strong.

Medium tension ensures mass market appeal proving ideal for back sleepers and side sleepers.

Impressive 5 year guarantee goes a long way toward full life cycle coverage.

Superb price point given the support layer paired with the brand quality.

Some reports around comfort level being too firm given the medium tension. Since this is an online only model we haven't been able to try this in store however, we do find that mattresses will soften over time and it would not be uncommon for a medium tension mattress to feel a bit firm while it settles.

Why our sleep experts loved it

The Ferndale Mirapocket Mattress is a new mattress to the Dreams lineup that see's us reviewing a fairly decent all-rounder that ticks all the main criteria necessary to get a good nights sleep.

To start, pocket springs. This mattress has a ton of them. For those that don't know, pocket springs are a support layer in the mattress and, in my humble opinion, the best support system money can buy with the typical rule of thumb being the more, the merrier. Moving on to the comfort layer we've got a fairly safe choice here from Silentnight in the way of Eco Comfort Fibers. These fibers represent the mattress filling which is responsible for a large portion of the comfort. The Eco Comfort Fibers have been proven to work well with this pocket spring setup on offer and you have the benefit of helping save the environment while you shop as all eco comfort fibers are eco-friendly, flame retardant, hypoallergenic and fully recyclable...they're super comfy too.

Onto the outer layer and we have a soft quilt fabric, common to many mattresses in any retailers line-up in part due to their relatively hard wearing yet soft and breathable fabric all of which comes together to product a luxurious and complete package. 

With further guarantee's of up to 8 years available on this product to purchase, it helps showcase just how much trust Silentnight have in this product.

Reviews for the Silentnight Ferndale 800 are positive with an impressive 400+ reviews and a great customer sentiment with 97% consumer satisfaction. Positive reviews far outweigh the negative with many commenting on the good nights sleep this mattress gives. Others were happy with the comfort from the get go, a good indication of quality with mattresses of this price point is where settlement shouldn't adjust through general usage which appears to be the case. Overall this mattress represents great quality at an affordable price from a brand you can trust.

Negative reviews are far fewer but we managed to find a few, the main area of concern was around springs dipping. This was only representative of 2 customers concerns and given the high quality pocket spring system we do not expect this to be a widespread issue. Springs can dip over time and usage but we normally see this in open coil traditional spring products rather than pocket springs, as such we would consider this a one(two)-off that is not typical behaviour. 

To conclude, a fine addition to the range and one that should be suitable for the vast majority of people. I love it.

Quantitative Measurements KPI question mark

Here's how the product performs based on the materials and composition when compared to other products of similar price point. These measurements are produced using a combination of specification-heavy algorithmic data points and our own hands on experience.

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

My old mattress was 10 years old so Id got used to being uncomfortable. I decided to treat myself and Im so glad I did, this mattress feels like a luxury hotel bed! Its a medium firmness but really supportive. Id often woken up with aches and pains but two weeks having owned this i wish Id changed sooner. I fall asleep so much easier and wake feeling fully rested. I tend to move about in the night but whether Im sleeping on my front, back or side this mattress is so comfortable. The mattress is really deep and adds to the luxury of it, the material is soft and cosy and you can feel this even with the sheets on. This mattress wasnt the cheapest nor was it the most expensive but Im very, very happy with the price given the quality of the mattress. Im so happy with this product and will definitely repurchase when the time comes.

Questions and Answers About The Silentnight Ferndale 800 Pocket Sprung Eco Mattress

Prospective customers had the following questions about the product

Image of the post author
Kelsey
Could this mattress be too firm for me, even if it's classified as medium comfort grade?

Answer: Based on the product specification, this mattress is classed with a medium comfort grade which is generally suitable for average-weighted individuals and preferable for people who sleep on their sides. However, firmness can be subjective and vary per individual. Therefore, trial periods or guarantees can be very useful when buying a mattress. This mattress also comes with a 100-night comfort guarantee, which provides reassurance as you can return it if it's not to your preference. Ray, thanks.

Is the risk of sagging or loss of support higher because the mattress is single-sided?

Answer: Though single-sided mattresses can't be flipped, they are built to provide lasting support and durability. Regular rotation as per the supplier's instructions can help preserve its lifespan. Added reassurance also comes with the 5-year guarantee this mattress features.

What is the benefit of having Eco Comfort Fibres in the mattress?

Answer: Eco Comfort FibresTM provide a sustainable solution because they are made from recyclable plastic bottles and are naturally flame retardant. This feature allows for a breathable, comfortable sleeping experience while contributing to reduce plastic waste.

Can the quilted fabric create a lot of heat when sleeping?

Answer: While the quilted fabric adds a touch of luxury and comfort, it is unlikely to cause significant heat retention. Mattress materials are typically designed to aim for a balance between comfort and breathability.

Are the springs in this mattress noisy?

Answer: While one review mentioned that they found the springs noisy, this does not seem to be a commonly reported issue. Individual springs are typically housed in their own pockets to minimise noise and movement.

I have last night purchased the dingwall firm but after 1 night I feel it's slightly too firm. I believe it is regarded as a 4, in comfort grade. What is this mattress' comfort grade please? Would my trial be over if used once and got another mattress

Answer: We do not used a number system for the grading. This mattress is classified as a firm mattress.Your new mattress may feel slightly different than the mattress you tried in store. This is mainly because a number of people will have sat and laid down on the in-store model, which leads them to feel more worn-in compared to your brand-new mattress. Ultimately, a new mattress needs time to adjust to you. Allow up to 30 nights for your body to adjust to your new mattress and for the fillings to settle. The fillings will compress in pressure point areas, and this means the mattress is doing its job providing support where you need it the most.We only offer one exchange per order.Many thanks,
