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.

The Silentnight Geltex Ultra 4000 is a luxury mattress with all the bells and whistles. Combining a layer of Silentnight Geltex™ to keep you cool with a triple layer of 3000 Zoned Mirapocket springs, this mattress is perfect for those who need a little more support in their sleep while still being a medium tension. Whether you sleep on your back, side or stomach, this mattress should largely be suitable. It's even hand tufted for that traditional sleep surface. Need to rotate it? Not to worry! This mattress is an easy-to-care-for non-turn mattress with five years warranty.

Not so much a con, rather an observation. I've laid on mattresses with similar dual-support setups in the past and always found the 1000 mini/hybrid springs fairly pointless. The 3000 zoned mirapocket springs do more than enough to offer encouraging and pinpoint bounce back support that I'd argue you could get away without and just call it a Ultra 3000 Boxtop. Alas, the mattress is well reviewed and looks to be a future favourite.

Why our sleep experts loved it

Today we're looking at the new Silentnight Geltex Ultra 4000 Boxtop Mattress which looks to be a unique offering from Bensons for Beds. For those that don't know, Silentnight is one of the largest mattress manufacturers who prove particularly strong in the online segment and looks to be continuing that trend with the new Feltex Ultra range.

Let's break down the layers and see what we're working with.

To start, the support layer. With a combination of 3000 zoned mirapocket springs combined with an additional layer of 1000 mini springs you end up with a combined 4000 springs to help ensure that your body contours sufficiently as you sleep. The medium tension means that these springs will allow a decent amount of "give" to them that will suit both back and side sleepers. 

The pocket springs are my favourite mattress support and with good reason, the contouring around your body is better and the longevity too, making pocket springs the ideal premium-buy when it comes to support layers

Onto the comfort layer and we've got another favourite in Geltex. Geltex is Silentnights version of Gel layers for mattresses and it does a great job of proving a breathable, soft and squishy top layer. What makes Gel a better option than other comfort layers is that it can keep you the right temperature as you sleep proving to be not too hot, nor too cold. In this instance the Geltex Ultra 4000 Boxtop Mattress comes with a generous helping of the material to ensure adequate body-hugging comfort that pairs wonderfully with the springs below.

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.

Answer: Certainly! The mattress features a triple layer of springs, including 3000 Zoned Mirapocket springs and an additional 1000 Ultra Mini-Springs. These layers work in harmony to provide targeted support where you need it most, such as the lumbar region, while also minimizing motion transfer.
