Why our sleep experts loved it

The Silentnight Epping Miracoil Mattress is one of the most reasonably priced mattresses from Silentnight, starting at less than £200, this mattress features the popular miracoil technology as it's base. I found the miracoil springs offer an amount of contouring to your body and for the price seemed quite good.

The Silentnight Epping Miracoil Mattress is very firm, making it suitable for only those that are either looking for a firm mattress through personal preference, or those experiencing back and neck pain and looking for some form of relief. The firm tension also suits those that are back or stomach sleepers or have a higher BMI than average.

Made in the UK, the Silentnight brand is one of the biggest in the mattress industry and probably the most recognisable in the country, featuring it's famous hippo and duck characters, this brand frequently impresses.

Overall i think this mattress has a lot of potential for the right person. For those that are not looking for a very firm mattress, this may not be suitable so please use the mattress wizard above to check eligibility. For the price, it's a no brainer though and one that I'd like to see in other tensions in the future.

Despite being one of the better selling extra firm mattresses in the Silentnight lineup, it has quite limited reviews due to being such a specialist product. That said, we've managed to find 200+ at time of writing that give a fairly good indication of what we are working with. Due to the specialist nature of this product it means that those buying are typically buying for a specific purpose and as a result consumer satisfaction is some of the highest I've seen with an impressive 97% consumer satisfaction. Reviews make mention of the comfort offered from the miracoil springs and how it is providing people with deep and rejuvenated sleep.

Negative reviews are far rarer than normal given the specialist nature and as a result there's not too much to mention with the only real negative feedback around the mattress being too firm for some. Not to be entirely unexpected given the extra-firm designation.

  • Back Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • The amount of support offered from a mattress will vary depending on the firmness of the tension and the type of support layer used. Based on a person of average build.
  • Side Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • If you sleep on your side you typically need a supportive tension that is not too firm, nor too soft. This is because your hips and shoulders need adequate sinkage.

This matter was to ease my back pain, I suppose it gradually has done that over the last two weeks of owning it. Although it is rock hard and doesnt sink, it does allow for every bit of motion from my partner being felt. Also, it is recommended to rotate the mattress every two weeks but unliking my last Dreams mattress, this one doesnt have any handles.

Ordered a king size firm mattress , mattress is firm however it appears to be just short in length of being a king size mattress . Previous mattresses have always fitted perfectly within my frame. Only into week 3 of owning it so hopefully following the mattress guidance will ensure the firmness .

I experienced back discomfort prior to using this bed. Remarkably, within two days of using it, I noticed a significant improvement in both my mood and back condition. Considering its price range, this bed offers exceptional value.

is this mattress good for side sleepers

Answer: We would recommend a soft or medium comfort grade mattress for a side sleeper, but ideally it would be best to either test a mattress in store or use the Sleepmatch machine to help you choose which would be the best type of mattress suitable for you.Many thanks
