Silentnight tend to get the basics right, and the Silentnight Lift Replenish 2000 Pocket Medium-Soft Mattress is latex over 2000 Mirapocket springs, about 30cm deep. The Lift Replenish 2000 Pocket Medium-Soft Mattress offers comfort by compromising slightly with its reduced support for a restful night's sleep that will appeal to side sleepers more than their back sleeper counterparts. This mattress is designed with 2000 individual pocket springs, providing comfort and support while maintaining a medium-soft feel that is able to contour to your body, helping to alleviate muscle tension as you move around on the product. On your side, a soft-to-medium latex layer like this should give nicely at the shoulder and hip, but on your back I’d expect your lower back to be less ‘propped up’ than I’d want from an every-night mattress. The owner reviews are brief: ‘Comfortable and supportive’ is about the size of it, and one owner was still breaking theirs in when they wrote.
The comfort fillings are latex and Silentnight’s Eco Comfort Fibre, a recycled filling described as breathable, and the cover has carbon fibres woven into it, which the listing says cuts static. Latex over pocket springs usually gives a gentle, springy pushback, and at a soft-to-medium tension I’d expect this one to feel cushioned rather than ‘firm’. It uses zonal support to disperse weight evenly across the surface and reduce motion transfer, and with 2000 springs each in its own pocket, movement should stay in smaller areas rather than the whole mattress moving at once. That said, it’s still a medium-soft mattress, so if you’re a front sleeper, or a back sleeper who likes a flatter, firmer feel, I think you’ll find it a bit too yielding through the middle. Also worth saying, I’d expect the edge support to be only average, because a soft-to-medium top over pocket springs tends to dip when you sit right on the side, which matters if you perch on the edge to get dressed or you want to use the full width of the mattress.
What’s more, the latex used in the comfort layer is particularly deep and plush, and latex gives you that buoyant ‘floating’ feel rather than the slow sink you get from memory foam. It does a good job of avoiding that sticky heat build up, but if you’re someone who wants that proper hugged-in feel, latex can feel a bit bouncy and less moulded to the body. The result of this combination is that you will be sleeping cooler for longer periods of time which will allow you to wake up feeling fully refreshed.
The Replenish 2000 also comes with a 5 year guarantee, so you can rest assured that your investment is well protected with the full support of both the retailer and manufacturer. I’ll be honest though, 5 years isn’t massive at this price point, plenty of competitors push 10 years, so it’s something I’d weigh up if you’re expecting a long warranty as standard. Whether you're a light or a heavy sleeper, the Silentnight Lift Replenish 2000 Pocket Medium-Soft Mattress will provide a comfortable and restful sleep experience for many, with a particular view toward side sleepers and those with a lower BMI than average. For me personally, it sits in the ‘good for the right person’ bracket, brilliant if you want a softer, cooler, latex-topped pocket sprung feel, but not the one I’d point a heavier back sleeper towards.
