Key Performance Indicators

Our Key Performance Indicators are produced using a combination of specification-heavy algoritmic data points and user reviews. For example, a firm pocket spring support layer is more breathable and offers better back support but may prove unsuitable for side sleepers, the reverse is true for a soft-medium tension reflex foam support layer. This is one of 100+ datapoints considered when generating the below ratings.

Suitability

*Assuming average weight, suitability will vary dependant on body type, use the wizard 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.

Ease of Use

  • Turning handles
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses typically need to be rotated frequently and having turning handles can be massively beneficial, particularly in larger sizes which can become fairly heavy.

Odour

  • Initial Odour
    ★★★★★

What Makes The Silentnight Geltex Ultra 3000 Mirapocket Firmer Mattress Great?

A medium-firm mattress - ideal if you love high levels of support

A medium firm tension mattress is slightly firmer than your average medium mattress. This is ideal for those who either prefer a little bit more support, or, those that have a slightly higher BMI than average. You may also benefit from a medium firmness mattress where you are suffering from neck/back pain as the additional support can help prevent and alleviate these symptoms.

Featuring 2000 Mirapocket springs and 1000 Ultraflex mini-springs for enhanced comfort and support

Pocket springs are probably the best support layer you can get in a mattress helping to provide measured and even support across your body where you need it most. What's more, the unique feeling of pocket springs hugs each point of your body, offering contouring across each pressure point to relieve aches and pains. Lesser models will frequently include alternatives to pocket springs like open coil traditional springs and reflex foam. Do not be fooled, while pocket springs are often slightly more money than their counterparts, you are typically getting a better spring system and base layer.When it comes to pocket springs and the quality within, the more springs generally the better as the density will increase contouring ever-closer to your body as you sleep. 

Each Mirapocket spring works individually to provide the support you need

Pocket springs are of considerable better quality than their poorer traditional open coil counterparts. Put simply, pocket spring contours better and supports better than other base layers. When it comes to pocket spring mattresses, the general rule of thumb is that the more springs the better. There are exceptions, of course, but for the best part this is likely to be a good quality mattress based on it's base layer.

Unparalleled breathability, body support and pressure relief with a soothing layer of Geltex

11cm layer of Ultraflex mini-springs and Geltex - working together to provide perfect comfort

Hand-tufted to lock in all those luxury fillings and offer extra support

Hand Tufting is a labor intensive process that involves securing the fittings to a mattress rather than having them operate independently and loose within. This small act not only secures, but also leads to the mattress lasting longer and feeling firmer. A hand-tufted mattress is great for anyone looking for additional stability while they sleep.

Knitted, micro-quilted cover - a mattress that looks as good as it feels!

This mattress comes with a quilted cover. Many people overlook the cover as a need for consideration however, the right cover can add additional comfort and in the case of this one here, adds quilted comfort that offers a soft but hard-wearing cover that is both breathable and stylish.

Cover is infused with Purotex to guard against allergens including dustmites

Purotex is a uniquely engineered coating that has been proven to create a clean, fresh and hygienic sleeping environment by neutralising the bacteria that cause odours and allergies. With Purotex, you can take comfort in knowing you're giving your family the best night's sleep they'll ever have.

Hypoallergenic and endorsed by Allergy UK - ideal if you suffer from allergies

Allergy sufferers often experience the problem of waking up in the middle of the night or having to get up in the morning with a stuffy nose and eyes. The reason why you wake up with a stuffy nose is because your mattress has accumulated dust mites, mould and mildew, all of which are allergens. The solution is a hypoallergenic mattress is made from materials that do not support mould or dust mites. They also have anti-microbial properties that effectively kill any bacteria that may come into contact with it.

A sumptuously deep mattress: 37cm total mattress depth

37cm is a fairly substantial depth for a mattress. While a thick mattress is not indicative of greater quality, it's easy to see that a bigger depth gives more room for fillings and good quality spring systems. 

Single-sided - no need to flip your mattress over!

A single sided mattress is typical for the industry and relates to how  a mattress has the comfort layer on one side of the mattress. only This means that the mattress only needs to be rotated rather than flipped. The benefit of single sided mattresses is that they require less upkeep in that there's no flipping, but also, there's less components involved in the creation which saves costs.

Complete with turning handles for easy moving when needed

This mattress comes with turning handles that will assist in the rotation and flipping of the product. May seem like no big deal selecting a mattress without handles, however, their use is critical in the movement of larger mattresses and can be the difference between pains and inconvenience and not,

Made in the UK

These are made and manufactured in the UK, meaning that they all meet the same exceptional quality and durability that we expect from genuine UK manufacturing.

5 year guarantee

A 5 year guarantee is quite rare in the industry and is a great indicator of the retailer beleiving in their product. Anything go wrong in the next 5 years, no drama, get it replaced.

Mirapocket springs

Mirapocket is Silentnights own take on pocket springs, in this instance, mirapocket is better than miracoil in terms of the support structure offered and is the one to consider should your budget allow it.

Mini pocket springs

Mini pocket springs, also known as micro pocket springs, are a thin layer of pocket springs that are becoming increasingly popular with the rise of bed-in-a-box retailers. This technology allows you all the support enhancements of a pocket sprung mattress, but with the ability to have the mattress delivered rolled and portable. Reducing logistics and transport costs and thereby reducing costs for both the retailer and the consumer.

Geltex

Geltex is a top layer patented by the Silentnight group and applicable against many Silentnight and Sealy mattresses. It is the new alternative to memory foam that offers all the benefits of memory foam with non of the downsides. When we talk about the benefits of Geltex over memory foam, we're talking about better breathability and better cooling and ventilation properties. This means the age-old issue of getting too hot with memory foam is gone, left in it's place is all the pros and comfort properties of memory foam.

Knitted Cover

It is common in the industry to have a knitted cover, these covers can come in a variety of patterns but are typically hard wearing and do not present problems for consumers.

Hypoallergenic

This product is unlikely to cause any sort of allergic reaction. Ideal if you suffer from any sort of allergy problems

Approved by Allergy UK

If you have allergies then you may want to consider a mattress like this. Approved by Allergy UK, this product has fillings that are approved for those that suffer from a host of common allergies and while there is no guarantee that this product will prevent allergies, it should prevent further problems for those that do suffer

Medium to Firm

Firmer than the average mattress, a medium to firm mattress is ideally suited to those that are looking for extra back support but still require and amount of comfort from their mattress. Ideally suited for a large range of the populus and becoming much more common, deviating away from the previous medium-for-everyone model.

37cm deep

The industry standard for mattress depth is 7 inches, with most offering a comfortable 10 to 14 inches. Generally, the higher the load, the deeper it needs to be. But quality is important as a well-built 10-inch mattress can be equally as comfortable and supportive as a budget 12-inch mattress. This 14.5 inch mattress sits at the higher end of the scale, worth consideration for those requiring support for higher weights.

Single-sided

Single sided means only one side is comfy. Positives are you only need to rotate the mattress occassionaly rather than the more cumbersome rotate and flip. Downside is the lifespan of the product may suffer as a result, only marginal, but worth mentioning.

Includes turning handles

Oh turning handles are pointless I hear you say. Just try flipping and turning this product without handles. It can be a pain. Remember that mattresses should be both rotated and flipped frequently, not a problem if you are opting for a sinle, but those doubles and kings can get heavy. Handles are very good.

Vegan-friendly

The fabrics, materials and fillings of this mattress are the result of what has been deemed vegan-friendly materials. Ideal for those expressing their beliefs while still requiring good levels of comfort and support from a product

Handcrafted in the UK

Handcrafted in the UK means that the product is built here, by people being paid a fair and honest wage using certified and safe products of good quality and construction. UK manufacturing is some of th best in the world and all of that is reflected in this product

Fire Resistant

Fire resistant does not mean the product will never catch fire, rather, it will not go up in flames quite so quickly. Resistant to fire in the same way that I am resistant to kisses, sooner or later you end up giving in.

Approved by the National Bed Federation

The NBF is one of the most prestigious awarding federations in the industry, helped slightly by the fact that it is one of the only, however, it is still a great source of comfort knowing that this product holds approval by the team

Customer Reviews For The Silentnight Geltex Ultra 3000 Mirapocket Firmer Mattress

Based on 234 reviews
5

It's a very well-constructed mattress, and you can see and feel the quality of materials used.At first, it seemed very comfortable and we was expecting a good nights sleep, but that was not the case, instead, it was kind of comfortable for short durations only, but then it became firm and almost like too much pressure was being put on joints etc.We ended up purchasing a hansleep mattress topper and the transformation was night and day.now its a remarkable nights sleep we get.

5

i bought the soft mattress and it is lovely like a water bed i have had an orthopedic very hard mattress for many many years then we decide to go for a soft one i cant get out of it it so lovely and the depth is amazing so high it makes the bed look very grand hotel looking need to buy some new covers to reach the floor i watch my afternoon movie in bed as my settee is leather and not very comfortable so yes I am very pleased bit expensive but love it !!

5

This bed by far is the best decision. This is like sleeping on a cloud, no exageration. Apart from feeling super soft. The support is amazingly positive for my back pain. I am a side and back sleeper and even sleep on my front. I have tried one of the biggest names previously as a trial but returned due to sagging. No sagging on this mattress. I cant believe how i made such a brilliant choice. Though the description is actually spot on.,

5

We purchased the firmer mattress. Very comfortable made a difference to both our backs after one night. It is very high mattress which took few days to get use to I'm only short legs dangle over the bed. We were able to fine company offering discount so saved 400 off rrp cost seemed very high although great mattress would not paid over 1000 that it was been sold for elsewhere

5

This mattress supports all parts of your body at once...My husband has a bad back after just one week of sleeping on this mattress he feels better already... I also have problems which can mean I am bed bound for long periods.... this mattress is so comfortable I love it... and even sleep right through the night on occasion... which is a big plus for me ? very happy

5

My husband can jump and move in bed but I dont feel it ... also its super comfy, like Goldilocks bed.. not too hard, not too soft - just right ... very deep, very heavy and loved that they have option to take old mattress away for small price. You get what you pay for with this mattress and its worth every penny. Definitely cant recommend this one enough.

5

had a bad back for years never had a good long nights sleep for years always broken sleep would wake up three or four times a night slept for seven hours last night hope this will be the normal from now on long may it continue I score this mattress 10 and i will buy another one for my guest bedroom

5

Good replacement after our old and tired traditional sprung mattress. Comfy and supportive and you dont roll into your partner when turning.As pointed out by others, you will need extra deep base sheets/protectors but these are easily available. Feel like princess and the pea as its so tall!

5

I bought this mattress to support my back and hip areas. But after first night sleep, those area I needed support, the mattress became concaved. It defeated the purpose. There is no support whatsoever. Im thinking of returning the mattress. The description of the mattress is absolutely misguided.

5

The most important feature of the mattress is that it has definitely reduced my backpain. The mattress takes a few weeks of getting used to it. But then on, it is quality sleep and less backpain throughout the day. Comfortable, does not cause as much night sweat as a memory mattress.

5

A really good quality mattress that is firm but not extra firm yet still very comfy.I expected it to be heavy having 3000 springs but I was surprised by just how heavy it is. I suppose with a mattress of this quality it's bound to have quite a bit of weight to it.

5

This is the best matress we have owned. It offers perfect support and is really comfortable. I have never been a good sleeper and would wake up several times a night and would also get really hot, all that has gone and I am getting the best sleep I have ever had.

5

This mattress is so comfortable after we believed the hype and brought and subsequently returned a Simba Hybrid Matress, this Silentnight is so comfortable and well made an excellent night's sleep! Not too firm and not too soft..perfect!

5

This is the best mattress that I have ever purchased. I've recently had surgery and it has helped me so much. It's so comfortable and ideal for people with arthritis, back problems and other aches and pains. Absolutely marvellous.

5

This mattress is so squishy, we love it! You're supported yet sinking into the pillow top. We're both sleeping like logs. My hubby is 6 feet and 13st and I'm 5' 6" and 10st and it's perfect for us both.

5

A very substantial and supportive mattress, definitely a firm mattress but not rock solid. I wanted a mattress that would offer better support for my back, after a few nights of adjustment it's done the trick.

5

It's the best mattress we've ever bought. Our daughter is sleeping so much better. It's ridiculously comfortable, very supportive but curves around you without dipping.Great mattress. Highly recommended

5

Mattress is very soft at the edges, we both feel like your falling out so sleep tight in the middle. Company, communication and delivery great. This matress is great for one or 2 ti y people but not for the.

5

Fantastic mattress, incredibly comfortable and supportive. We had a Simba - 100 day guarantee because it will start to give up shortly after! Returned to traditional mattress design and very pleased with.

5

This mattresses is our second one. It has been the best of many I have had. The quality and comfort is excellent. This mattress has helped with supporting my back and helps with quality of sleep.

5

I need 2 hip replacements so I needed a soft mattress that still offers good support. This mattress fits the bill perfectly. I can sleep on either side, my body feels cushioned and supported.

5

This mattress is extremely comfortable and feels like a quality product. I have had many comfortable nights sleep since my purchase. I am also pleased that it was made in Great Britain.

5

Absolutely amazing I've had the best nights sleep in ages so comfortable and for someone who has back issues this is the first mattress where I've said the support is perfect.

5

After trying 2 previous mattresses from other companies , and having to return them as they were so Uncomfortable, we chose this mattress and are very happy with it. Excellent.

5

My last mattress was lovely but quite old ,since having my new silent night mattress ,I have slept so well ,its really comfortable am really happy with my silent night matress.

5

Very comfortable and supportive. And very high! Higher than I thought but I like it. Also no noise when either person rolls over in the night, so you get a great nights sleep.

5

The mattress is well made and lookes great.The mattress offers good support and I think the depth and weight adds to the fact that one person moving is not felt by the other.

5

The mattress provides great support for my back. I felt a noticeable difference even after the first night and after a month my back feels much better and sleep far better.

5

To wake up every morning without a sore back is fantastic. Has to be the best mattress that I have ever purchased. Actually can't wait to get back into bed each night.

5

Absolutely love this mattress, I suffer with lower back and neck problems and this mattress has helped me get a good nights sleep without being in agony the next morning!

5

It's thick mattress 15in well made good looking and very supportive I would recommend this to anyone who has back problems fantastic comfort and a good price

5

I always had firm mattresses. This softer gel topping combination is so much more comfortable. My shoulders, hips and back feel so much better. Great investment.

5

We are sleeping so much better on our Ultra Silentnight mattress, ordered the medium and it feels perhaps a touch firmer but in a good way. Worth every penny.

5

Its soft but supportive, a very comfortable sleep always. I was sceptical about buying a mattress without seeing it before, but it hasnt disappointed!

5

Lovely and comfortable (Medium Matress), not as firm as some have suggested, just swapped out a memory foam mattress and find this personally far better.

5

Lovely well made comfortable mattress. No roll together or rolling off the edge as with my last one. Combined with a new pillow my back ache has eased.

5

Deep, luxurious, super comfy and great for our backs. So happy with our new mattress, big purchase but well worth it. Looks like it will last forever.

5

My sleep has improved and I waje up feeling much more refreshed each day. My fitbit tells me I am now easily sleeping 7 hours plus every night

5

I was sceptical about buying without seeing beforehand, but had nothing to worry about. The mattress is soft but suppotive. Extremely comfy.

5

Its just so comfy. Both me and my partner wiggle when we sleep and its perfect for neither of us disturbing one another with movement.

5

This mattress is so comfortable that the only way to describe the experience is to liken it to being in the hands of a thousands angels.

5

We put off buying a new mattress for too long! It is really comfortable. When either of us moves the other one doesnt even notice.
