What our reviewers found

Pros

Very niche but specific need that proves an ailment for many people. This material and breathability has been known to work well.

Mirapocket springs combined with an eco comfort pairing are both known to work exceptionally well.

Cons

Price point is a little high, although does solve a problem.

Silentnight, a long-standing pillar in the sleep industry, has recently introduced its Lift & Breathe 1600 Pocket Mattress, a product specifically engineered to cater to menopausal sleepers. This focus on mitigating common sleep disturbances like hot flushes is both intriguing and solid, marking a departure from more generalised mattress designs. Priced in the mid-range for a double size, the mattress offers a 100-night trial period, giving you ample time to decide if it's the right fit for you. It's rated as medium-firm and features a unique blend of pocket springs and eco-conscious materials, which adds another layer of appeal.

What truly distinguishes this mattress is its solution to alleviating symptoms commonly associated with menopause. It achieves this through a breathable sleep system and the incorporation of eco-friendly fibres designed to enhance airflow. This makes it a unique offering in a market that often focuses on more general sleep needs. The mattress is constructed with 1600 pocket springs that adapt to your body shape, providing personalised support. It also features a special layer designed for breathability, which allows for greater air circulation compared to conventional memory foam. It incorporates environmentally responsible fibres to enhance the sustainability of your sleep environment.

Its specialised features and research-supported claims make it a compelling choice for individuals grappling with symptoms of menopause. The mattress avoids the use of chemical treatments and is designed to be hypoallergenic, creating a sleep setting that is both gentle on the skin and devoid of typical allergens. If you're not dealing with menopause symptoms but are in search of a breathable mattress, Silentnight's extensive range offers other options worth exploring.

The Lift & Breathe 1600 Pocket Mattress is a worth mentioning option for its specialised focus on alleviating menopause symptoms. Its medium firmness and breathable construction make it versatile enough to appeal to a broad range of sleepers, although its unique nature may limit its broader appeal. The mattress is designed to provide a sleep surface that promotes air circulation and coolness. It also includes a 100-night trial period for your convenience. Being hypoallergenic and devoid of chemical treatments, it stands as a suitable option for individuals with sensitivities.

How it scores

Scored from the build: how this construction usually performs, compared with mattresses of a similar type and price.
Scored from the build: how this construction usually performs, compared with mattresses of a similar type and price.

Suitability

  • Back Sleepers 4/5
  • 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 5/5
  • 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 4/5
  • 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 3.5/5
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress 3.5/5
  • 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 4/5
  • 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 4/5
  • 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 5/5
  • 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 4.5/5
  • This is based on community driven customer reviews tied to product reviews and grouped together at a brand level to produce a score.
