The SleepSoul Space 2000 Pocket Memory Pillow Top Mattress is a solid choice if you want that cushy pillow top feel without going full-on soft. On paper it's 2cm of memory foam and a layer of soft foam up top, sitting on 1200 mini pocket springs with 800 full-size pocket springs underneath, so I'd expect a slow give on top and the springs pushing back below it. Owners describe much the same thing, one calling it "fairly firm but the top layer softens it", though a few find the top too soft and say they sink into it. Pocket springs offer superior support while memory foam contours to your body for a luxurious sleep experience, but if you sleep hot, that memory foam layer can hold onto warmth more than a basic foam or fibre top. The pillow top provides extra comfort and is designed to be durable and luxurious, although it does mean you sit a bit higher up on the mattress than you might expect.
This Pillow Top Mattress is rolled-up for shipping in a box, so it's easy to bring home and set up. It arrives in a box that includes a built-in handle for easy carrying. Once you've unpacked your new mattress, just open it up and let it expand to its full size in just two hours! Stand clear when you cut the wrap: one owner wrote that it "unrolled with such a powerful force that I was knocked over". I'd still give it the full day before judging the feel properly. The Knitted Cover features a zippered closure and has been designed to be durable and luxurious, and plenty of owners call the mattress well made, one praising the "neat stitching", though one says the material "feels cheap".
The Space 2000 Pillow Top Mattress features Pocket Springs® technology for superior support. With 1200 mini pocket springs over the 800 full-size ones, the surface should react in smaller sections rather than the whole thing moving at once, which is what I want from a pocket sprung build. Some owners back that up ("I don't feel any movement in the bed"), while others say they still roll together in the middle. One wrote "I definitely feel my partner turning in bed". For side sleepers the pillow top should take the edge off at the shoulder, and one side sleeper with hip pain wrote "since switching to this mattress I've had next to no discomfort", but if you're lighter in weight you might still find it a bit firm underneath once you settle through the top layer. Edge support is only average too. The outer springs are firmer than the rest, and several owners praise the edge ("The sides don't collapse when you sit on the bed"), but another wrote "If you sit on the edge you sink down and slide off". With a soft pillow top over that border, I'd expect more dip than a firmer, more traditional border would give you. The Knitted Cover features a zippered closure.
