About the Silentnight Melrose 1200 Pocket Sprung Eco Mattress
Last checked
For sleepers trying to get away from memory-foam sink, the Silentnight Melrose 1200 Pocket Sprung Eco Mattress is built around a 1200 pocket-spring unit with softer fibre comfort layers above it. The individual springs are the main support story: they respond more separately than an open-coil unit, so the mattress should resist the worst of roll-together and give couples a cleaner split between each side of the bed. The emphasis is support, not plushness. A 1200-count pocket unit at this affordable pocket-sprung tier is an honest, on-tier specification; the more distinctive choice is the Eco Comfort fibre layer, made from recyclable plastic bottles, which puts breathability and recyclability ahead of the slower, body-hugging feel found in many memory-foam hybrids. The quilted fabric and soft fillings are there to take the edge off the spring tension, but the construction still reads as a supportive spring mattress first and a cushioned comfort mattress second. Silentnight also talks up zoned support and edge-to-edge springs, which is useful in plain terms: the design is meant to spread weight across the surface and keep the usable sleeping area from collapsing at the sides, rather than relying on a thick foam box or deep pillowtop to create comfort.
For back sleepers, taller sleepers and couples who want a cooler, easier-to-turn-on surface, the Melrose has a clear audience: happier accounts repeatedly describe good support, strong value and a cleaner sleep feel than a dipped memory-foam mattress. One substantial owner account from a 6ft 6in sleeper praises the full-body support, and another long-term account says the mattress felt cooler in summer once a topper was removed, which fits the breathable-fibre construction rather than contradicting it. The firmness dispute is the warning. Although the mattress is sold as medium, several low-scoring buyers describe it as much firmer in real use, with hip, back and leg pain after the first short spell of comfort; that repeated complaint carries more weight than the label, especially for lighter side sleepers or anyone expecting a yielding surface. The pocket springs also help explain why one couple noticed little disturbance from partner movement, but the comfort layer is not thick enough to mask the firmer support for everyone, and one detailed account only found it comfortable at first by adding a 1in topper. For back sleepers wanting supportive, breathable pocket springs at a sensible price, this is the right call. For side sleepers needing pressure relief at the hip and shoulder, look at a softer pillowtop pocket-sprung tier or a plusher hybrid instead.

Comfy and supportive, and I like that it feels breathable and not too bouncy. Easy enough to flip and seems well made for the money.
Comfortable and refined, the eco-friendly element is a great bonus. It is solid and supportive providing a decent night's sleep.
Amazing Mattress! Quality is 10 out of 10 !
Best mattress (& bed!) I have ever bought!!
After buying a very expensive memory foam mattress which did not last very long due to severe dipping in the super king where you sleep, we decided to replace them with Double Sided medium firmness that can be turned. This mattress was unbelievably priced, is comfortable, makes it easy to turnover rather than sleeping in a memory foam dip, is far cooler and I would recommend it to anyone who has developed a bad back through sleeping on a memory foam mattress. The mattress is a medium firmness and is perfect for us, supportive not soft. A couple of days prior to the delivery from Dreams, Bensons delivered a new super king for another room. Unfortunately they have no recycle/collection service. Luckily Dreams do so they kindly took away 2 super kings and delivered the one we ordered from them. Delivery guys were great, very polite and gave useful information about use and care, including allowing the matress to breath for a few hour prior to making up the bed.
Absolutely delighted with this mattress. Im having the best nights sleep that Ive had in a long time. Definitely money well spent, I love it.
This mattress is so comfortable very pleased with my purchase.
I bought this mattress as my old one was nearly 10 years old and I was overdue a new one im glad I did, haven't sleep so well in a long time didnt realise how much I needed a new mattress till I slept on it hope to get years if good sleep for years to come.
Brought this to help my bad back (i suffer from scoliosis) and found it note firm then medium to start with. We put a matress topper on for a few weeks which made it perfect! I imgine acter a few months wearing it in a bit we will be able to take it off.
Oh my god such a comfy mattress!!!! Was worried since we werent able to try it in store but my word its beyond comfortable we couldnt of wished for better! We love it and highly recommend
Wow what a mattress!! I have spent the last year suffering with hip pain and numbness waking me up constantly and now it's a thing of the past. I couldn't recommend this mattress enough especially for those suffering with dead and painful hips. You won't be disappointed.
you feel like your sleeping on a cloud
Perfect level of comfort and plenty of space for sprawling sleepers! Breathable makes it cool enough for someone who gets hot during the night.
Comfortable for the best nights sleep.
Really comfortable mattress, we love it
Very pleased with the mattress, it was an easy process to order on line. I was very well informed on delivery and had a phone call to say they were on their way. Both delivery staff were friendly and helpful. Only negative the mattress is much heavier than my old one and living on my own I won't be able to flip and turn it as instructed. It is very comfortable and I get a good nights sleep.
The is mattress is a steal! The mattress is a great comfort, not to hard and not to soft. With the added bonus of having a hypoallergenic cover. Ticks all the boxes
I bought this mattress 2 weeks ago and it's the best night sleep I've had in years. Great service and delivery guys were on time and helpful. Highly recommended.
Using the new mattress for over two months. Very happy with the purchase. The overall service was great and the delivery was timely.
Very comfortable mattress. Supportive - exactly right firmness and had several great nights sleep since buying it
