Pros & Cons

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and a decade of industry insight.

Open coil springs that are zoned help to provide firmer support which will relieve pressure points in the back, joints and hips. I still prefer pocket springs, but for the price point and suitability targeting kids, you can't go wrong.

The product is hypoallergenic and breathable, with a soft knit cover that is treated to reduce dust mites and allergens.

Features a medium firmness rating, which is suitable for most children’s preferences regardless of how they sleep.

It has a 5-year guarantee and free delivery from Bensons for Beds which goes beyond the average from most retailers.

May not fit some bunk beds, cabin beds or raised beds, as it is 21cm deep.

Durability should be fine as it is tailored toward children, typically however open coil springs tend to wear out faster than pocket springs but unlikely to represent an issue.

Why our sleep experts loved it

The Silentnight Healthy Growth Junior Mattress is perfect for growing children. The mattress is made from Eco-comfort Fibre™ to provide a breathable surface, and traditional bonnel spring unit which provides the right level of support for growing bodies. And it's hypoallergenic too, so it's perfect for allergy sufferers. This mattress has a medium-firm feel, which will align your spine and relieve pressure on key pressure points.

The cover is quilted with a pretty pattern and taped edges so that it stays in pristine condition for longer. The mattress is 21cm deep, so there's no need for specialist deep sheets - the single-sided design means there's no need to worry about flipping the mattress.

Suitability

*Assuming average weight, suitability will vary dependant on body type, use the quiz above for a more tailored guide.
  • 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.
  • Stomach Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Stomach sleepers need a reasonable amount of tension in the base support layer to adequately offer body contouring and help prevent aches and pains. Results will vary based on your build.

Performance

  • Breathability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials like memory foam can make it difficult to move about on the mattress while you toss and turn. Same too for pillow tops which can create a cloud like sensation which can make manoeuvrability challenging.
  • Stability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Depending on the type of support layer in place can have an impact on stability, edge to edge support and roll together prevention. Pocket springs of a firmer tension will have better stability than open coil soft tension, for example.

Odour

  • Initial Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Materials in mattresses, particularly memory foam and rolled bed-in-a-box mattresses can have an initial odour, this is typically short term and reduces considerably within 24 hours.
  • Long Standing Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials inside different mattresses can produce a small odour. Typically this is short term rather than long standing but there are minor exceptions.

Brand Rating

  • Overall Brand Rating

Purchased for our five year old. Wanted something specifically for a growing child. Has slept well ever since use (although we are fortunate we have a child who sleeps well!). Mattress not too high and looks to be well made.
