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.

Features a layer of Geltex™, a gel-infused foam that provides pressure relief, breathability and adaptive support.

It also has a layer of 1000 Ultraflex mini springs that enhance comfort and responsiveness.

The mattress is supported by 1200 pocket springs that offer individualised support and reduce motion transfer.

The pillow top adds extra softness and luxury to the sleeping surface and gives an additional comfort layer for even better side sleeping.

Soft tension might not suit some back sleepers who require a bit more tension.

Price point is a little high for some people who are on a budget.

Why our sleep experts loved it

The Silentnight Geltex™ Ultra 2200 Pillow Top Mattress is hand crafted in Silentnights award-winning factory in Lancashire, England. Made exclusively for Bensons for Beds, it is created from a single layer of 1200 Zoned Mirapocket® springs, 1000 layer of responsive Ultra Mini-Springs and a hand tufted pillow top. 

Featuring a sumptuous pillow-top that has a soft feel and is hand tufted for extra comfort and support, this is one to consider as the overly great price point is not reflective of the impressive materials on offer.

Available in a soft tension, this mattress is likely to be suitable for those that are looking for a side sleeper or who prefer a softer feel.

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.
