About the Rest Assured Northington 2000 Pocket Natural Mattress

Last checked

The Northington is a traditional pocket-sprung mattress with 2000 individual springs, natural wool, cashmere and silk fillings, a damask cover and a hand-tufted finish, built to an extra firm, 5 out of 5 feel. This is a sturdy mattress first. A 2000-count pocket unit paired with wool, silk and cashmere is generous for a mainstream pocket-sprung build; the conservative part is the comfort feel, because tufting pulls those fillings into a tauter surface rather than the cushioned top found on foam-topped hybrids. Natural fillings do not make it plush. At 29cm deep it has enough height to carry the spring unit and padding without looking thin, while air vents and animal-fibre comfort layers give the specification a more temperature-aware profile than polyester-heavy open-coil mattresses. The zoned spring claim points to more targeted support than a basic uniform spring cage, although the extra-firm tension will still dominate the feel more than any contouring language. Rotation is the real care job. It is single-sided, so there is no flipping, and the handles matter because the listed weights run from 32kg in single to 67kg in superking, with a double already at 48kg. The 5-year guarantee and National Bed Federation approval are on-tier for a UK-made Rest Assured model, not unusually long for the category.

Firm-bed loyalists, back sleepers and front sleepers are the clearest match, especially where the priority is keeping the hips level rather than sinking into a plush comfort layer. Happier accounts repeatedly describe the mattress as very firm, evenly supportive and comfortable once settled, with several linking the firmer surface to fewer morning aches; one couple also noted little roll-together, which fits the independent pocket-spring construction better than a linked open-coil base. Heat management is a real strength here. One detailed account from a hot sleeper described a marked reduction in night sweats, and that lines up with the wool, silk, cashmere and vented border rather than contradicting the spec. The firmer surface can feel uncompromising at first, with a recent buyer saying it took a few days to settle, and the weight comes up more than once as a practical nuisance when rotating it. Early settlement is the main caution. There is an isolated low-scoring complaint about ridging and body impressions after a short period, so anyone especially sensitive to dips should follow the rotation routine carefully, even though the dominant feedback is strongly positive. The Northington suits firm-bed loyalists who want natural fillings, a breathable feel and reduced partner disturbance; those prioritising deep pressure relief for side sleeping should look instead at a medium pocket-sprung or natural hybrid tier.

Frequently Asked Questions For The Rest Assured Northington 2000 Pocket Natural Mattress

The questions below are the most common ones BedBoy readers ask when comparing products in this category. Contact the editorial team with a different question, quoting P1300 in the subject line.

Yes, the mattress is free from foam and chemical treatments, making it hypoallergenic. This makes it a great choice for those who suffer from allergies as it decreases the chance of being interrupted by itchy eyes or sneezing fits during sleep.
This mattress offers extra-firm support, making it a great choice for individuals with back pain. There are 2000 individual pocket springs that are zoned to provide targeted support to areas such as the back, hips, and joints. The springs move independently, reacting to the contours of your body and absorbing movement, which greatly helps in providing a comfortable, restful sleep. Thanks, Giselle
The mattress does come with stitched turning handles, which should make it easier to move and rotate. However, it is worth considering that some customers have mentioned that the mattress is relatively heavy, so it could be difficult for one person to move on their own.
According to the product description and customer reviews, the high-quality wool, cashmere, and silk comfort fillings are densely packed to create a firm-feel sleep surface that is durable and long-lasting. Hand-tufting ensures zero shifting, shape loss, or sagging, maintaining the high-performance use of the mattress for many years.
The mattress is filled with breathable natural fillings like wool and cashmere, which are known for their great temperature regulating properties. These materials should help keep you snuggly all night long without getting too warm.
Heavier back sleepers are likely to get good use from the 2000 pocket springs, as there is enough resistance to engage the support unit. Lighter sleepers may find the top too unyielding.
Back sleepers are the clearest match. The zoned pocket springs and firm surface are designed to keep the pelvis level rather than letting it dip.
Side sleepers should be cautious, especially if they have pronounced shoulders or an hourglass shape. The firm, taut surface may not give enough pressure relief at the hip and shoulder.
It is single-sided, so it does not need flipping. Regular rotation is the main maintenance required.
It is rated 5 out of 5 firm, with a taut, tufted surface rather than a plush pillow-top feel. Expect resistance and springy support, not deep sink-in cushioning.
It should suit warmer sleepers better than many foam-heavy designs. Wool, silk and cashmere are breathable fibres, and the vented border helps air move through the mattress.

Excellent, firm mattress with comfortable natural fillings. However, it's quite heavy to move around.

Superb value and it is what it says, a medium firm natural mattress. I am thinking of buying a double version as well. Even the single is heavy because it is good quality. It took a few days to settle, a bit too firm during that time.
