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.

Orthopaedic support from a manufacturer you can trust with their latest eco-comfort top-layer, it's easy to see why customers enjoy this good quality but low priced product that takes direct aim at aiding those who seek orthopaedic back pain relief.

Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with customers loving the firmer than average feel that gives an orthopaedic quality to their sleep . There was one critique that was somewhat persistent among the unhappy few however and that was surrounding the turning handles, or lack thereof. See, for proper mattress care the product needs to be rotated, though thanks to its single sided design, not flipped. The rotation of these mattresses, particularly ones like the Silentnight Ortho Dream Star Miracoil Mattress can be cumbersome due to their increased weight thanks to good quality components. As a result of this, rotation is a little difficult on king size and super king models, though we did find it more than manageable on the smaller sizes.

Why our sleep experts loved it

The Ortho Dream Star Mattress has proven to be one of the more popular mattresses that we have had users look for in recent months, so much so that as of this moment, it's the most popular mattress searched for within this site.

Let's unpack why. To start, the price point, with an incredibly low price for what you get it is clear to be a defining point of why people are purchasing this in demand. Then there's the brand, Silentnight, who are probably the most well known mattress manufacturer in the UK. Combine with that a series of great specifications we are about to cover and it is easy to see why people love it. 

Starting with the support layer, that's the layer that typically contains the springs and is found at the base of the mattress. This layer features Miracoil springs in an extra firm support. Miracoil springs have picked up some favourable reviews recently, they are a cheap and effective spring that conforms to your body, helping to relieve pressure on key areas of the body.

Onto the comfort layer and you get a covering of thick and soft supportive fillings that help give additional comfort and separate your body from the support layer and it's springs.

The fillings in this product are known as Eco Comfort Fibres, and are not only sustainably sourced from plastic bottles, they are also 100% recyclable meaning you are able to enjoy eco-friendly comfort that will protect the planet too.

This mattress has been named the Ortho Dream Star due to its firm nature and it going to be suitable for those that are looking for a firm and supportive product.

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.
  • 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.

This is a REALLY firm mattress, like sleeping on a floor. That is just what I wanted.I have a genetic condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, which means my skeleton is not held in place properly due to my connective tissue being 'floppy'. This is the best mattress I have ever owned (far better than 'luxury' brands costing upwards of 1,000) and supports my skeleton perfectly. At last, I can have a comfortable night's sleep and not wake up with dislocated joints (yes, that does happen) and severe pain all over my body.So, for me, this mattress is heaven itself.However, you have to realise that this is like sleeping on a breeze block for most of your body. If your current mattress is saggy, it is probably because it's old or worn or hasn't been turned properly. Do not buy a 'very firm' mattress to replace it unless you want a really HARD bed! Pretty much any new mattress will be firmer than an old one. This mattress is designed for people who are obese or disabled or have an extremely bad back that is permanent. I would imagine that for other people it would be way too firm. So beware of that before you buy.But if you know you want a very firm mattress, then believe me, you can't do better than this for the price. So long as you rotate it every week initially as recommended (after two months you can rotate it once a month), it does not sag. I have had mine about six weeks now and there is no sag whatsoever.

By far the best mattress I have purchased. I have scoliosis so it's vital for me to have firm support on my back. I bought a superking and it came very well packaged. I personally cannot feel the tufts or springs. And no, the mattress isn't like sleeping on the floor. Lots of complaints about it being too firm but it is clearly marked EXTRA FIRM. Also recommend this for people who's partners always turn at night as you can barely feel any movement from the other side. OH wakes up much earlier than me for his shifts and now I no longer get woken up. People with severe back pain or have trouble sleeping NEED to buy this mattress. It was a steal at just over 300 for an ortho mattress.

Delivery was excellent unfortunately the mattress it's self is described as an orthopaedic mattress good for people with back problems the truth is the springs digging into your back felt even after a memory foam topper was fitted was hmost uncomfortable I persevered for 3 weeks my wife lasted only 2 nights on hers. The good point is fortunately we kept our silent night foam mattresses which we have had for 10 years and have found them to be excellent. They give excellent support to the back I think also the warmth from the memory foam in the mattress helps unlike the dodgy spring's in their orthopaedic mattress

Be sure you want it this firm, I didnt ? And because it was quickly dropped off at my home, didnt really try lying on them before the delivery day so, found them harder than I anticipated, even though the rating said so ( silly me ). The happy ending however is, I got used to them and using a dawn mattress topper, I found them very comfortable and feel as well rested. One last thing, they are much lighter than my very old mattresses so, easily turntable specially when Im tucking the sheets beneath. Wish you all a good sleep ?

I'll keep it simple and say that my only regret wasn't buying this mattress a year sooner, After constantly suffering from lower back pain I decided to take the plunge and after only 1 night I can honestly say hand on heart it was gone.My posture is so much better, I wake up feeling refreshed and in truth can't wait to get back into bed it's that comfy but saying that I did take it to the next level with a good quality memory foam topperIt's top marks from me and the best money I've spent in a good while!

Really good price for a very supportive mattress. Surprised at how supportive it can be, or hard it was - took a few days to get used to the 'hardness' but eventually settled. I'm sure a mattress topper will make it all the more comfortable, but as it was, it was what I was looking for especially after being disappointed with the mattress used by a huge hotel chain (that one felt okay for a few night's stay, but was too soft and saggy after a few days' use). Certainly at that price, I thought it was a steal.

This is our third purchase. Previously purchased king size and single miracoil vilanna. I took a gamble with this ortho for my teenage daughter when she's home from uni. I thought it maybe uncomfortably firm. How wrong was I ? The best mattress in the house. It's deep, supportive and warm. Thoroughly recommend it for a good nights sleep and to not wake up with sore back or hips. I now sleep on it more than my daughter! Service as always was exceptional and delivery prompt and reliable

After having wasted alot of money on buying 4 previous matresses over the last couple of years, from memory foam to orthopeadic, and tossing/turning all night and waking up with an aching back, we finally hit the Jackpot! Great support, very firm, no roll togethet and no sore back in the morning, excellent quality matress as you would expect from silent night, highly recomended, job finally done! If you like a good firm mattress and need good support, this is the one for you.

Great firm support, yet very comfortable. I first used it on the floor for few nights before the bed frame arrived and have to say this was the best night sleep I had for many many years ( had a similar matters before). Then the bed frame arrived, which I needed for storage, still getting a great night sleep, although if I didn't need the storage I would leave it on the floor as it taken away some solid feel ( I am nit picking here). I went for king size and love it.

Wanted a very firm mattress. We had, had enough of memory foam not living up to the hype. Due to joint problems we wanted good solid support. After getting used to it through the first week and now having this mattress for the past month my wife and I are very pleased and would go as far as saying it exceeded expectations. The best sleep for years. Purchased during a sale, but would have still been a good price at full price considering the improvement in comfort.

I have a slipped disc in my lower back so I bought this mattress as I heard that firmer beds were better for back pain.The difference is unbelievable you can feel your posture is better when your first get on the bed, in the mornings I didn't have pain like I did with my older mattress (which was a Silentnight medium firm).I can't recommend this enough, even if you don't suffer with back problems it will keep your posture good though the night.

I needed a new mattress because l started getting lower back pain.The Silentnight mattress was just what l needed. It was nice firm, although it took a few days to get use to it. The first thing l noticed when l got out of bed was no more lower back pain! Your spine just realigns itself. I'm on the large size the mattress doesn't even sink in from where you lie on it all night it won't disturb your partner when you move around.
