About the Silentnight Ferndale 800 Pocket Sprung Eco Mattress
Last checked
Budget-minded shoppers looking at the Silentnight Ferndale 800 Pocket Sprung Eco Mattress are getting a medium mattress, 3 out of 5, built around an 800-count pocket-spring core rather than an open-coil unit. That is honest budget engineering. The 800 count is still conservative for anyone expecting the steadier isolation and closer contouring normally associated with the 1,000-plus pocket-sprung tier, especially in a main-bed double shared every night. The springs respond more independently than a traditional sprung mattress, so weight is not spread as bluntly across the whole bed, yet the support remains relatively simple and uniform rather than zoned or reinforced like pricier hybrids. The comfort layer is Silentnight’s Eco Comfort fibre, made using recyclable plastic bottles, with a soft quilted fabric finish over the top. Eco fibre is cushioning, not luxury filling. It is a breathable, low-foam route to surface softness, so it should feel cleaner and less heat-holding than many budget memory-foam mattresses, but it will not give the slow sink or deeper shoulder cushioning some side sleepers expect from foam hybrids.
People replacing an old, sagging mattress, or buying for a child, spare room or lighter adult, are the cleanest fit for this specification, and happier accounts describe the Ferndale as comfortable, supportive for the money and better than older memory-foam beds they had been using. Several buyers also praise the fabric finish and a few weeks of easy sleep across front, back and side positions, which fits the medium feel and fibre comfort layer: there is surface softness, but the 800-spring core keeps the bed from becoming a soft foam cradle. Stronger support is the fault line. Low-scoring accounts repeatedly describe poor comfort and back ache, while one detailed account flags noisy springs from early use and another describes an internal split that left a gap in the spring unit; those reports cut against the balanced-support marketing and matter most for couples, heavier sleepers and anyone already managing back discomfort. Rotation is another practical irritation, with one substantial account finding the lack of side handles awkward during the early-care period, and a temporary chemical smell was noticed before fading. Best for lighter or average-weight sleepers wanting a low-foam, medium-feel mattress at a budget-pocket price. Less good for ache-prone couples or heavier bodies, who would do better with a higher-count pocket-sprung mattress or the £700-plus hybrid tier.

Gave it a week and it feels comfy but not too soft, and my back feels better in the morning. Nice fabric and I like that its made with recycled stuff, though it did feel a bit firm at first.
Comfortable night's sleep and the eco-fibres are a nice touch. Happy with the purchase.
Exceptional experience overall! The support team was very responsive and processed the price-match refund quickly. The delivery team was amazing — they removed the old mattress and set up the new one with great care. The mattress itself is very comfortable and stable, and I no longer wake up when my husband moves at night. If I ever need a mattress again, I will definitely return to Dreams!
Amazing mattress very comfortable to sleep on! Definitely recommended!
My old mattress was 10 years old so Id got used to being uncomfortable. I decided to treat myself and Im so glad I did, this mattress feels like a luxury hotel bed! Its a medium firmness but really supportive. Id often woken up with aches and pains but two weeks having owned this i wish Id changed sooner. I fall asleep so much easier and wake feeling fully rested. I tend to move about in the night but whether Im sleeping on my front, back or side this mattress is so comfortable. The mattress is really deep and adds to the luxury of it, the material is soft and cosy and you can feel this even with the sheets on. This mattress wasnt the cheapest nor was it the most expensive but Im very, very happy with the price given the quality of the mattress. Im so happy with this product and will definitely repurchase when the time comes.
Bought this a few weeks ago and I am very happy with the product, great service when very quick at assembly,

For the price we paid the mattress is of good quality and definitely will suffice for the guest bedroom.
