The Silentnight SleepResponse Relieve 2000 Combination Mattress is a hybrid that clearly aims for that modern sweet spot, supportive enough to keep posture in check, but not so rigid it feels like a board. In-store, it comes across as a grown-up medium to firm mattress with a slightly springy, responsive top layer rather than a deep, slow memory foam sink. It is an appealing option for shoppers who want cooler sleep and easier movement, and it feels more considered than the average own-brand pocket sprung mattress at this sort of spec level.
Construction and materials
This mattress combines responsive pocket springs with Silentnight's Mirapocket zoned support system, then adds adaptive micro springs to pick up smaller movements and weight shifts. On top sits a breathable latex filling, which is a key reason the surface feels lively and supportive rather than swampy. It is finished with a CoolEase cover designed to draw heat away from the body, and traditional tufting is used to keep the internal fillings in place over time.
Comfort, firmness and feel
The headline is medium to firm comfort, and that description holds up. The feel is supportive with a touch of cushioning, with more of an "on the mattress" sensation than a deep hug. Latex gives it a buoyant, quick-to-respond character, which makes it noticeably easier to turn over on compared with many memory foam topped hybrids. It feels confident under the hips and lower back, while still having enough surface give to avoid that dead, flat sensation some firmer mattresses can have.
Support and pressure relief
The zoned Mirapocket support system does the heavy lifting here, helping keep the body better aligned through the middle of the mattress. Latex contributes pressure relief without letting heavier areas drop too far, which suits anyone who wants support but dislikes the "stuck" feeling of foam. Overall, the Relieve 2000 leans towards posture-first comfort, it is more about maintaining alignment than providing a plush, cloud-like cradle.
Motion isolation
Individually wrapped pocket springs tend to isolate movement better than open coil designs, and the micro springs add refinement by responding to smaller shifts rather than amplifying them. In practice, this feels like a mattress that stays fairly composed when weight moves across the surface, though it is not the ultra-deadened feel of an all-foam model. For most couples, it strikes a good balance between stability and a responsive surface.
Temperature regulation
This is one of the stronger reasons to look at the Relieve 2000. Between the CoolEase cover, the naturally breathable character of latex, and the airflow created by pocket springs and micro springs, it feels built to avoid heat build-up. It does not rely on gimmicky cooling claims alone, the construction is inherently more breathable than dense foam-heavy mattresses.
Edge support
With pocket springs and a medium to firm build, the edges feel more dependable than softer hybrids, particularly when sitting or lying nearer the side. It is not described as having a specific reinforced edge system, so it should be treated as "good" rather than absolute best-in-class, but it feels stable enough for everyday use and getting in and out of bed.
Practicalities
- 100 Night Comfort Guarantee is included, which adds reassurance for a mattress that will feel a touch firm to some sleepers at first.
- Traditional tufting helps keep fillings held in place night after night, which is a practical durability detail rather than just decoration.
- Single-sided design makes maintenance simpler, there is no need to flip it, though regular rotation is still the sensible approach for even wear.
- Backed by a 5-year guarantee.
- Made in the UK and described as using recycled materials, which will matter to shoppers weighing up sustainability alongside comfort.
Who it suits
This medium firm tension best accommodates side and back sleeping equally, particularly for average-weight sleepers who want a stable, supportive feel without losing all surface comfort. Back sleepers should find it especially reassuring through the lumbar area thanks to the zoned support, and combination sleepers will appreciate how quickly the latex and spring system responds when changing position. It also suits anyone who tends to sleep warmer and wants a mattress that feels more breathable and less heat-holding than foam-led alternatives.
Who it does not suit
Sleepers who want a genuinely plush, deep-sinking mattress are unlikely to love the Relieve 2000, it prioritises support and easy movement over a soft, cocooning sensation. Side sleepers with a pronounced hourglass figure may find the medium firm feel does not give quite enough sink at the shoulder and hip for fully relaxed pressure relief, and may be happier in a slightly softer tension.
What customers liked
Feedback points towards a cool, supportive sleep, with the CoolEase cover frequently associated with reduced overheating. The combination of Mirapocket springs and latex is linked with tailored support and airflow, and the tufting plus single-sided format is viewed as a straightforward, low-fuss ownership benefit. There is also appreciation for the UK-made angle, recycled materials, and the security of the 5-year guarantee.
Final verdict
The Silentnight SleepResponse Relieve 2000 feels like a properly thought-through hybrid rather than a badge-engineered spec sheet. The standout is the overall balance, a medium firm, posture-friendly support system with a responsive latex lift and a cooling-focused cover that makes sense alongside the naturally breathable spring build. It is a strong choice for back sleepers, combination sleepers, and anyone prioritising cooler, easier movement over plush sink. Shoppers chasing a softer, more enveloping side-sleeper feel should look elsewhere, but for supportive comfort with a cleaner, more breathable profile, this one lands well.
