About the Silentnight Premier UltraGel 1000 Mirapocket Pillow Top Mattress
Last checked
Side-sleeper comfort and hotel-hotel cushioning are the obvious pitch here: the Silentnight UltraGel 1000 Mirapocket Pillow Top Mattress is a 29cm, single-sided pillow-top mattress with a knitted cover, UltraGel foam over Reflex foam, and a 1000-count Mirapocket spring unit based on king size. It is listed as medium, but the build points to a cushioned top sitting over a fairly controlled support core rather than a soft sink-in mattress. The spring count is not the headline. A 1000-pocket unit in a mattress this deep is on-tier rather than generous; compared with the £700-plus pocket-sprung tier, where higher counts or separate mini-spring comfort layers are common, the value here is in the gel-and-reflex foam comfort stack and the hotel-style pillow-top finish rather than sheer spring density. The Mirapocket unit should respond more independently than an open-coil mattress, so weight changes across the surface are handled with less roll-together, while the Reflex foam adds a more resilient, push-back feel under the gel layer. UltraGel is the more unusual material choice for the tier: it aims to give pressure relief without the slow, warm hug of traditional memory foam, and the open-cell claim is a practical attempt to solve the heat build-up that puts some sleepers off all-foam hybrids. Four side handles help rotation, which matters because the pillow top is not designed to be flipped.
Buyers who liked this mattress tend to describe a firmer-than-expected medium feel that still gives enough cushioning for side sleeping, with several accounts linking the support to fewer back, hip, arm or pins-and-needles complaints after moving from cheaper mattresses. Couples also describe better sleep, which fits the separate Mirapocket spring design, although a 1000-count pocket core will not isolate movement as cleanly as denser or multi-layer pocket-sprung builds. Firmness is the main caveat here. Low-scoring feedback repeatedly centres on the mattress feeling too hard or uncomfortable despite the pillow top, and one partnership found it suited one sleeper but not the other, so the medium label undersells how firm it can feel in real bedrooms. The knitted cover and gel foam make this a more breathable proposition than standard memory foam, but it is still a foam-topped, 29cm pillow-top mattress, so very hot sleepers may prefer a shallower pocket-sprung mattress with natural fibre comfort layers. The image mismatch complaint appears only as an isolated buying-friction issue, while the stronger pattern is comfort polarisation: happier accounts praise support and finish for the money, unhappy accounts expected a plusher hotel bed. Best for side and back sleepers wanting a supportive medium mattress with a firmer hotel feel. Less good for plush-mattress seekers or couples with opposite comfort needs, who would do better with a softer hybrid or the £700-plus pocket-sprung tier.

Specifications
Manufacturer specifications without the jargon, easy to scan and compare.
Knitted cover
A knitted cover spells out a blend of cosiness with breathability, providing a comforting touch that many crave while ensuring your temperature remains well regulated throughout the night. This feature pairs comfort and functionality in a coveted balance, contributing to an intimate sleep environment that is warm, inviting, yet refreshingly aerated.
Medium
With a medium firmness level, this specification caters exquisitely to a substantial range of sleepers, being not too hard nor too soft. The presence of 1000 pocket springs, complemented by gel layers, intends to distribute weight evenly across the surface, aiding in maintaining correct spinal alignment and contributing to a restful night's sleep.
Perfectly balanced medium firmness
The balanced medium firmness symbolises an ideal balance of comfort and support. With an optimal level of resistance, it's designed to serve the needs of various sleepers by providing a sleeping surface equipped to reduce pressure points, aid in proper spinal alignment, and simultaneously offer a soft, comfortable layer for a pleasant sleep.
Reflex Foam
Reflex foam, characterised by its solid and supportive nature, aids in even weight distribution, thus minimising pressure points and improving your body alignment during sleep. However, it's worth noting, this type of foam tends to retain heat, which may not be optimal for those who prefer cooler sleeping environments.
Fire Resistant
Ensuring safety during your peaceful slumber, fire resistance is a crucial feature that reduces the risk posed by potential accidents involving flammable materials. Furthermore, it demonstrates the manufacturer's commitment to adhere to strict safety standards, prioritizing your well-being over all else.
National Bed Federation Approved Brand
Receiving approval from the National Bed Federation indicates that the product meets specific industry standards and quality benchmarks. This approval serves as a reassurance of the product's reliability and durability, though discerning buyers may still want to consider personal comfort preferences.
Tufted
Tufting is a great feature as it helps secure the fillings inside helping to promote even settlement while ensuring all fillings remain consistent. The result of tufting is a slightly firmer feel combined with great consistently across the entire mattress.
Approved by Allergy UK
Allergy UK approval indicates the mattress is less likely to trigger allergic reactions, hence providing more comfort for those with sensitivities. However, regular cleaning is necessary to effectively maintain its hypoallergenic properties.
UltraGel
UltraGel technology in the item provides a cooling sensation, making it ideal for those who often feel overheated during sleep. The inclusion of 3000 Mirapocket springs offers tailored support and pressure relief, enhancing overall comfort.
Includes turning handles
Turning handles aid in the regular rotation of the mattress, thereby significantly extending its lifespan. Easy maintenance is always appreciated, and these handles streamlining the process by making rotation hassle-free and manageable.
Vegan-friendly
Plant-based or synthetic fillings avoid wool, silk or other animal-derived fibres, leaving the surface suitable for shoppers avoiding animal materials. Check cover materials and fire barrier details where allergies are involved.
Geltex
With an innovative construction, this item offers a unique blend of breathability, pressure relief, and body support. The inclusion of a pillow top layer enhances comfort levels, elevating your sleep experience to new heights.
Approved by the National Bed Federation
Factory auditing checks that the mattress is made under UK rules for flammability, fillings and labelling, giving you a clearer paper trail for what arrives at home. It doesn't prove comfort, firmness or long-term durability.
Pillow top
A pillow-top layer gifts you with an additional layer of pure comfort and softness. It capitalises on reducing pressure points and enhancing back support which could contribute to a more restful and pain-free sleep.
5 year guarantee
Fault cover puts manufacturing problems in writing, making a loose strut, failed fixing or collapsed padding less of a gamble after delivery. Accidental damage, fabric marks and poor fitting usually sit outside it.
Hypoallergenic
Hypoallergenic mattresses are the perfect choice for those with allergies or sensitivities, as they protect against allergens and irritants. They're also a great choice for those with asthma or respiratory issues.
Mirapocket springs
Pocketed coils compress separately, giving your hips and shoulders more local give. Because each coil moves on its own, cheaper builds can lack edge firmness and may feel busy under very restless sleepers.
Pressure relief
Softer comfort layers let shoulders and hips sink slightly into the surface, spreading body weight before you feel sharper points building. Front sleepers may want firmer support to keep the hips level.
29cm deep
Thicker mattress body sits higher on the bed base, lifting your sleep surface while fitted sheets have to stretch further around the corners. Check frame clearance and sheet pocket depth before buying.
Made in the UK
This 100% UK made product is the perfect choice for a home with a sense of individuality. Sleep in comfort with the knowledge that you'll waking up refreshed and ready for another day.
Handcrafted in the UK
Factory workers assemble and finish the mattress by hand, leaving small variations in stitching or edge detail you may notice up close. It doesn't prove better support or longer life.
Single-sided
Bed-making is simpler because the comfort layers stay on the top face, leaving the underside to stabilise the mattress while you lie on the cushioned surface. Don't flip it over.
