If you're searching for a comfortable and supportive mattress, look no further than the Silentnight Lift Replenish 2000 Pocket Medium-Firm, now sold as the Silentnight Lift Replenish 2000 Pocket Firm. To my mind this is a more 'proper' build than the basic Silentnight models: 2000 Mirapocket springs with latex on top, in a mattress about 31cm deep. This luxurious mattress offers superior comfort and support, thanks to its unique combination of Mirapocket springs, latex foam, and eco-memory comfort. At the time it had a medium-firm tension (Mattress Online now rates it Firm), providing an ideal balance of comfort and support that suited both side sleepers and back sleepers alike, but if you're a lighter side sleeper you might find it a touch too firm around the shoulder. The product also features a special edge-to-edge support system that comes as standard with the entire Silentnight Mirapocket range, which gives you extra stability and support, even when you are sleeping on the edge of the bed. With a 5-year guarantee, you can be sure that this mattress will provide you with years of restful sleep, although at this sort of price point I do like seeing longer cover from some brands. So, if you're looking for a bed that offers superior comfort, support and durability, the Replenish 2000 Mattress is the perfect choice for you.
What's inside the base and comfort layers?
The Silentnight Lift Replenish 2000 is a fantastic all-round mattress that will suit all sleeping needs. As above, this item has a unique combination of latex, pocket springs, and EcoMemory fibre. Latex should give you a quick 'bounce' at the surface and the EcoMemory fibre a softer cushion to settle into, it's a nice combo when it's done right.
The latex and EcoMemory fibre layers add extra comfort, but it does mean it can feel a bit warmer than a straight spring and fibre build, especially if you already sleep hot. The pocket springs will also provide you with support that beats the competition in this space, outperforming both Miracoil and reflex foam competitors, and with 2000 of them each in its own pocket, the springs should react in small sections rather than the whole surface moving at once. Finally the latex in the top layer will help regulate your body temperature and provide additional breathability to help ensure that you don't overheat or sweat throughout the night, although it's still not as airy as a mattress that leans more on natural fillings and less on foam.
One practical thing, it's not the lightest mattress to move about, so rotating it on your own can be a bit of a faff.
Who will this tension suit?
At the time, this mattress was a medium-firm tension that suited all sleeping positions and provided you with ample support, but also relieved pressure points and provided you with extra comfort. The listing now rates it Firm. On your back, a firm 2000-spring unit should keep your hips held up, and I wouldn't expect that hammock feeling you can get on softer memory foam beds. On your side it's less forgiving: under about 70kg I'd expect more pressure at the shoulder than I'd want, so keep that in mind if you like a plusher feel. Owners point the same way on support, one calling it 'Very supportive and comfortable', but another who ordered a medium-firm and was sent the firm found that 'not acceptable' after a hip replacement, so check which tension you're getting before it arrives.
Edge-to-edge support system
All Silentnight mattresses feature an edge-to-edge support system, which gives you extra stability and support, even when you are sleeping on the edge of the bed. Sit right on the side and I'd expect it to hold up rather than collapse away under you, but pocket springs still compress a bit at the edge, it's not like sitting on a solid bench. This support system will prevent you from rolling or sliding off the product, even when you are asleep and helps improve durability by allowing further spreading out on the top layer over time helping to prevent divots and uneven settlement.
