Tests & Verdict

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 12+ years 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.

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
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • This is based on community driven customer reviews tied to product reviews and grouped together at a brand level to produce a score.

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.

I got this as a replacement for my twenty year old mattress that I had kept going with a feather topper and a silent night topper (a bit princess and the pea!). This is a really good priced, supportive, comfortable mattress and Ive had some great nights sleep with this and my new Sherwood oak sprung slat bed frame. It would have got five stars if it had handles on its sides to make rotating it less of a struggle, which has to be done weekly for the first three months. It had quite a chemical smell to start, but thats barely noticeable after three weeks use. Im really happy with my purchase and the service and communication from Dreams was excellent. I paid extra for them to take my old mattress and bed frame away and assemble the new one - money very well spent!

I cannot be more postive about this mattress. I struggle to sleep on the best of days because of my Insomnia but coming home after a tough day and jumping into this bed just lifts all my stress. Firstly from a physical aspect this is perfect I play sports on a regular basis and the support this has for my back and neck is really good and I wake up with a spring in my step which I never had from my previous mattress. Secondly I wake up at 4am for work and I previously would wake up my partner from her sleep when getting up from my old mattress, but this one is so subtle that she doesn't feel any movement of me waking up etc. Worth the investment!

We badly needed a new mattress, our old Silent night had lasted 14 yrs but was causing back issues. We actually got this as a tide me over until we had the funds for something more expensive. However... We've had it for around a month now and both I & my wife are sleeping like logs, no more back pain, well we don't even want to get up now! I think we'll just keep this one! It's firm but not excessively so, very comfortable. If I were really picky, the only thing I can really find to fault is the lack of holding handles on the sides. Highly recommended, the nice men even put it on the bed and took away the packaging.

I bought this for my elderly mum. She had previously hated the new mattress I'd bought years ago so I wasn't looking forward to getting another new one! But this time, from the very first night, she has been very pleased with it. She finds it very comfortable and has a good, relaxed night's sleep. The one slight downside for her is that it is quite a deep mattress, so she finds it a little on the high side when she goes to sit down on it. But that's a minor thing and my error for not taking that into consideration when choosing which mattress to buy. I am due for a new one myself soon and will be buying another of these.

I didn't know there were so many different types of mattresses. On reading many reviews for all types of mattresses, I noticed that the "new fangled" ones come with issues that people aren't happy with, from smell to just being uncomfortable. I I didn't choose the most basic mattress available, but went for an uncomplicated one with pocket springs. And I am very happy with my purchase. Try not to get too complicated a mattress, just because it has swanky-sounding features. You may find that it is those features that spoil an otherwise excellent mattress.

I've had the mattress for a month and it is very comfortable. It does need to be turned often in my opinion to avoid uneven wear. Some people are stating its too hard for a medium but mine was perfect for me. I co sleep with my baby and she falls straight asleep whereas before with the old mattress she'd be restless and wake several times to find a comfier spot. The price is great for what it is and if you do fancy a softer bed, try a mattress topper. Only thing I can fault is that it does get quite warm, so best use mattress protector to create a barrier.

I went into the store and the shop assistant was incredibly helpful! As this was the first time I had bought a new mattress, he let me lay on this bit of kit that measured how I slept and gave me an idea of what mattress would be best for me. I cant remmeber the name of the gent but he was in the Birstall store! I ended up buying this one online as it was on offer but it was in the style that the computer and he had suggested. It is SO comfy! Just the right amount of soft yet firm! Best nights sleep Ive had in years!

Bought this a month(ish) ago after not replacing my last mattress for 10 years Being quite different to my old one I was unsure how comfortable I'd find it, however I was immediately impressed once I tried it out and fell asleep in no time! I sleep on my side, and found the firmness just right for this, will be sticking to this style of mattress when the time comes to replace this one. Delivery was spot on, team were helpful and organised. I'd reccommend this service to anyone looking for a new bed!

We purchased this bed around 2 months ago, but due to Covid delivery took a little longer than usual. However, Dreams were fantastic from start to finish by keeping constantly in the loop whenever there was a situational change ie production starting. The mattress itself is way more comfortable than we had originally hoped (couldn't try it due to Covid!) and we've both slept like logs since we've had. We actually recommended this exact mattress to someone else about a week after we first slept on it! 5*

When in first got the mattress i thought it wasn't very firm to the touch but as soon as only on it wow it is super firm yet also comfortable . The mattress takes your body weight without you sinking into it . I had a memory foam mattress for a while and havnt had a brilliant nights sleep for a good while i kept waking up aching being from a sports background I always blamed this on that until now . Cannot fault only question mark will be durability however being from a decent brand it should be okay

have had this item about a month now and I have been very impressed with it. from the delivery to the usage, it has been easy. I like a firm-ish mattress but I don't like the stiff as boards mattresses you get when you ask for a firm bed, so this has been perfect. It is light, easily manoeuvrable and not too warm (I cannot abide memory foam heat so this has been perfect). No downfalls really accept for the turning of the mattress needed every so often.
