What our reviewers found

Pros

  • The UltraGel™ foam provides an adaptive and buoyant quality that delighted many users with its pressure-relieving benefits.
  • A multitude of customers commended the cool-to-touch fabric, which added a soothingly refreshing element to their sleep experience.
  • Many users appreciated the 2000-zoned Mirapocket® springs, which noticeably improved their sleep posture and minimised motion transfer.
  • Several reviews noted the heightened sense of bounce and airflow from the 1000 mini pocket springs embedded in the comfort fillings.
  • The medium tension of the mattress was praised for its versatility and comfort, catering to both side and back sleepers equally well.

Cons

  • The Silentnight UltraGel Cool-to-Touch 3000 Mirapocket Softer Mattress employs a medium tension which, while great for side sleepers, may not offer ample support to pure back sleepers who prefer a firm mattress.
  • While the mattress features cooling properties thanks to its UltraGel™ foam and cool-to-touch fabric, it might not be sufficiently breathable for those who run particularly hot during sleep, especially in warmer weather conditions.
  • This mattress, with a depth of 37cm, might pose a bit of difficulty when fitting standard sheets or moving it around due to its considerable thickness.

Welcome to our in-depth product review of the Silentnight UltraGel Cool-to-Touch 3000 Mirapocket Softer Mattress, a product that claims to set new standards in the quest for your ultimate night's sleep. This mattress is a blend of cutting-edge technology and traditional craftsmanship, boasting a unique combination of cool gel foam and pocket springs to create a softer finish.

Design and features

The Silentnight UltraGel Cool-to-Touch 3000 Mirapocket Softer Mattress has an impressive array of features intended to enhance comfort. The principal component of its design is its UltraGel foam layer, purportedly five times more breathable than standard memory foam. This, coupled with an assembly of mini pocket springs to bolster airflow, aspires to combat the issue of overheating, a common grievance with memory foam mattresses. The mattress's outer layer features a cool-to-touch fabric, aiming to provide a crisp, refreshing sleep surface.

A feature that draws attention to this mattress, however, is its advanced pressure mapping technology. The gel foam is explicitly designed to alleviate pressure build up while being buoyant enough to adjust to your body and bounce back, establishing a responsive feel. This brilliant interplay of pressure relief and bounce encourages a soothing, rejuvenating sleep experience, reducing the risk of waking up with aches and pains.

Support comes in the form of a solid core of 2000 Mirapocket springs. These springs are purpose-built to provide zoned firmness, targeting areas of the body bearing the most weight, such as the lower back and hips, to ensure a well-aligned sleeping posture. An additional 1000 mini pocket springs in a box top provide an enhanced bouncy feel, making the mattress resilient and indulgent.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to ignore a few aspects of the mattress's design that fall short of expectations. The mattress can be quite heavy, which might require extra effort to manoeuvre or move around the room. The lack of edge support, particularly for those who enjoy sleeping closer to the sides of the mattress, may also be a limiting factor. Lastly, it's a single-sided mattress, which means it can only be rotated head-to-toe but not flipped like traditional mattresses.

Comfort of the Mattress

The level of comfort offered by the Silentnight UltraGel Cool-to-Touch 3000 Mirapocket mattress is notable. It has a medium tension which, while softer, provides a supportive and plush feel which is particularly accommodating for side sleepers. On paper the balance between firm and soft looks right for a softer mattress: the gel foam and the box top's 1000 mini pocket springs should let your shoulder and hip sink in, while the 2000 Mirapocket springs below, firmer through the centre third, keep your hips from dropping too far.

Regrettably, the claimed cooling technology is unlikely to be as robust as marketed. A cool-to-touch cover only deals with the surface, and a sink-in top with foam in it can still hold some warmth around you, gel or not, which slightly dulls the cooling effect. While the softer feel is a boon for side sleepers, back or stomach sleepers might desire a firmer version to ensure adequate spinal support.

Suitability

The Silentnight UltraGel Cool-to-Touch 3000 Mirapocket Softer Mattress may be a dream come true for side sleepers and those of average weight. Its medium firmness combined with exceptional pressure relief is likely to offer substantial comfort and support. However, heavier individuals or those who sleep mostly on their back or stomach may find it lacks in providing the necessary support for their sleeping style.

Customer Reviews

We identified a notable lack of customer reviews for this particular product.

The Verdict

After a thorough analysis, it is clear that Silentnight has made some ambitious strides with its UltraGel Cool-to-Touch 3000 Mirapocket Softer Mattress. Combining refreshing cool-to-touch technology with traditional pocket springs, the mattress endeavours to strike a balance between modern innovation and tested-and-proven techniques. And while it may fall short in some areas in particular for heavier individuals and back or stomach sleepers, may raise concerns about its support level and cooling functionality - its softer feel will likely prove a comfortable choice for many.

Hence, while it comes with a premium price tag and with points that can be improved upon, the Silentnight UltraGel Cool-to-Touch 3000 Mirapocket Softer Mattress may still find favour. It can be particularly attractive for side sleepers or those with a preference for a moderately firm mattress. As a potential consumer, considering your weight, preferred sleeping position and budget are critical in deciding if this mattress is suitable for you.

To conclude, while the Silentnight UltraGel Cool-to-Touch 3000 Mirapocket Softer Mattress scores well on several fronts, there is still room for improvement. However, on its journey to create the ultimate sleep experience, Silentnight has produced a mattress that, for many, could be a step closer to their perfect night's sleep.

Suitability

  • Back Sleepers

  • 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
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
