Finding the perfect mattress can be a challenge - one that requires you to find the perfect balance between comfort, support and affordability. The Silentnight Lift Rejuvenate 1600 Pocket Mattress is now sold as the Silentnight Easyflex Gel 2000 Mirapocket Mattress, and on paper it's a deep, soft build: 31cm, rated soft to medium, with 3cm of Easyflex Gel foam over the springs. Under its old name, this mattress contained 1600 individual pocket springs that adjust to your body shape and weight to provide targeted support, while its foam layers provide comfort and cushioning. The listing now shows 2000 zoned Mirapocket springs. The top is microquilted over the gel foam and two layers of polyester fibre, which points to a well-padded surface. Each spring sits in its own fabric pocket, so they should react under you one at a time rather than the whole thing moving as one. The mattress also features a zonal support design that helps to reduce pressure points and the risk of aches and pains in the morning. The word owners keep using is comfortable, and one describes it as "Like sleeping on a cloud". That fits the gel foam and soft fibres, which should let a side sleeper's shoulder settle in, but a build like this does have that deeper sink that not everyone gets on with. With a 5-year guarantee and a choice of soft to medium support, the Silentnight Lift Rejuvenate 1600 Pocket Mattress is an excellent choice for those seeking a deep sinking feeling in a comfortable and affordable mattress, but if you like a really buoyant, on-top feel, this one will likely feel a bit too huggy.
The tension offered from the Rejuvenate will best suit those who sleep on their side as the soft-medium tension does not offer too much support for back sleepers despite the zonal support. The spring unit is firmer through the centre third, where your back and hips sit, but under a top this soft I'd still expect a back sleeper's hips to drop a touch more than they should, and I could see that being a problem if you're heavier or you already get lower back niggles. One owner did find it "Good for sleeping on your side or on your back". If you are primarily a side sleeper this could be the ideal product for you. If you're a lighter side sleeper, it should feel comfy, but if you're broad-shouldered you might still want something with a bit more pushback so you don't sink too far. If you want strict back support, consider a firmer model. I'd also say the 5-year guarantee is fine, but at this sort of price point you do see longer cover elsewhere, so it's worth weighing that up.
