Why our sleep experts loved it

The Portchester Mirapocket Mattress is another the new Silentnight line-up at Dreams that features some excellent quality materials at a really competitive price.

Let's start with the support layer, that's the layer that generally sit's at the bottom of the mattress and provides all the support that your body needs to prevent aches and pains, it is not typically associated with the comfort of a mattress (that's the job of the comfort layer), however, it can have a measurable impact all the same.

In this case, mirapocket springs are a deviation of the ever-popular pocket spring systems used in high quality mattresses. Other options, all generally worse, are open coil traditional springs, reflex foam and bonnell springs. Pocket springs give you well-rounded support and, due to their pocketed nature, don't tend to move about over time, ensuring even support across the entire base of the mattress, they are my personal favorite.

Onto the comfort layer, that's the layer that sits at the top of your mattress and provides most of the, well, comfort. This layer is made up of Eco-Comfort fibers which have become a staple of the Silentnight range in recent years. These fibers are luxurious in their feeling, giving you a great nights sleep, but, importantly they are also fully-recyclable, made from plastic bottles and hypoallergenic giving you a great, environmentally conscious mattress that is really comfy.

The tension of this mattress is medium which is great because that makes it suitable for almost everyone. It's like the goldilocks of mattress tensions, being suitable for those that like a bit of additional firmness while catering to those that still want a soft sinking experience. There's compromise in either instance of-course, but that's part of what makes it so well-rounded.

Final notes, the Memory foam pillow top is a nice touch. I personally find the pillow tops can be a bit of a pain with traditional sheets so you may want to consider getting a couple of deeper sheets, but aside from that, it's like having a permanent additional comfort layer, can't go wrong with that.

Justifies the cost, worked wonders on my back and super cozy too. My nights are now hassle-free and refreshing.

I originally bought this to replace my bed which Id had for around 8 years. I have been struggling with backache for several months so wanted a really comfortable mattress that was on the medium to soft side but with good support. I dont get on with a solid memory foam mattress as I am a very restless sleeper and much prefer a good spring mattress with a memory foam topper. I went in store to buy my new bed and tried a couple of different mattresses. This one was a bit dearer but my top priority was support and comfort and I wasnt disappointed. its really important to let the mattress air for several hours as it has quite a strong chemical smell when new. it also takes a few weeks to soften up as if feels a little firm when new. You should rotate the mattress (not flip over!) every 2 weeks for a couple of months, then monthly to ensure even distribution of mattress filling. Overall, Im really pleased with this mattress - so much so that I bought the same mattress for my spare bedroom.

I had been concerned about buying a mattress without trying, so chose Dreams in case it did not suit as an established company I knew would not be a problem. We chose the Silentnight Porchester as we had not got on with foam based mattresses due to overheating. Checking reviews, the suggestion was that a medium firmness was supportive enough so went along with the advice. We have been very happy with the robustness of the mattress whist being supportive enough without being hard. I also work shifts and creeping in to this bed has meant no roll together. Pre delivery communications were excellent as was notifications on the day. Delivery team were very considerate of our home and also removed our old mattress for recycling. Initial concerns totally unfounded and we have been getting sound nights sleep in comfort.

After suffering with a bad back everytime I woke up for the last 8 years. I thought it was time to change the mattress. After a lot of research decided on a medium mattress with built in topper. Was given a 2 hr delivery window on the morning of delivery. Mattress turned up on time. Staff were extremely friendly and put the mattress exactly where we wanted it. Unpacked it and took the packaging with them. Slept very well that night and didn't have any back pain when I woke up. The mattress us extremely comfy regardless whether you sleep on your back, front or side. Will definately purchase another one when the time comes. Good value for money and the option of interest free over 2 years was a bonus too.

This was delivered about 3 weeks ago, we have slept perfectly on it with no having to 'get used' to it period. It's firm enough to support with a nice soft (but not too soft) top, we deliberately bought one like this as I enjoy the flatter surface. We don't use a topper anymore, just a thin sheet as the bed is really comfortable. We didn't bother heading into a store to try it as I did the online help thing which tells you which mattress suits you and then just read the reviews. I am glad we opted for this mattress, lovely and comfy with plenty of support. The delivery guys were great, polite and put the new mattress on the bed for me and they kept me well informed of delivery time.

I took delivery of this mattress on 15th October and it has made such a difference to my sleep. I sleep mainly on my front, but sometimes on my side or back. The integral topper is wonderfully soft and comfortable, and the mattress itself is firm enough to give proper support. The only caveat is that the springs seem very close to the surface at the side wall of the mattress. I am sure it is to ensure the mattress doesn't sag at the edges (a friend bought one that sagged at the edge very quickly - different mattress, different supplier), but I wonder whether that will ultimately prove to be an area of weakness in the fabric.

I based my purchase of this on the previous reviews and I am so glad that I did. It is superbly comfortable, you sink into it, it is just a glorious bed. Not too firm and not too soft and I am thoroughly glad that I chose this. Rest assured (sorry for pun) that you will not regret buying this. You would think it was a far more expensive bed than it actually was. It was delivered on the 18th December, the Dreams chaps that brought it were excellent. In fact the whole Dreams experience from start to finish has been first class and when I am ready to replace this I would not deal with anybody else now.

I was a bit worried ordering online, but I needn't have as the whole purchase went so smoothly. The description of the mattress was spot on & it's really good quality , the medium is just the right firmness for my back , the edges support well when getting out of bed. I was kept informed all the way through my purchase by email & phone for my 2hour delivery slot. My mattress arrived on the day well within the time with polite & helpful staff. I also bought it during a sale so that was an added bonus. I would recommend the service I recieved.

Wasnt sure about the medium firmness rating but went for it after other reviewers said that it was firmer than expected. Glad I did and suspect that an actual firm rated mattress would have been way too hard. Good support and provided a comfortable sleep. We have a super king size bed and the mattress is heavy. Care instructions recommend rotating the mattress top to tail every week for a month and then monthly. Bear the weight in mind.

I was unsure on the product at first because it is more on the firm side. However, after only a couple of nights I got used to this. The mattress is lovely, and 5 weeks in has softened up slightly. I've had no issues with aches or pains, in fact it seems to have cured a long standing neck issue which I now put down to my previous mattress. I'm usually a very restless and active sleeper, however seem to sleep like a log on this mattress.

Delivered on 20th March .. comfortable from first night .. one of the reasons we chose this mattress is the memory topper, which we are used to. I feel we need a bit longer to test as it's only been three weeks, and previous mattress had a deeper layer of memory foam. Seems good value for the money, hopefully it's as good as our old Silentnight mattress. Only one negative.. old one had handles to help rotate mattress, not this one.

I bought this mattress to replace a previous Silentnight mattress which we had been very happy with. I chose the same Medium style, but it is very hard. We have had it a fortnight now and I am still struggling to sleep well on it, as I have osteoporosis in my hips I find it quite uncomfortable. Hopefully, it will soften as time goes by as Silentnight are a great brand, so I don't have any problems with the quality of the mattress.

We needed a new mattress after years of second-hand and cheap ones. Paying the extra really does seem to make the difference - the mattress was immediately more comfortable and we slept much better. After a few weeks it is still perfectly firm with no sagging or deformation. Be mindful that pocket spring mattresses can be quite heavy and cumbersome to move but the comfort is certainly worth the extra weight.

Buying a mattress is always tricky as the prices seem to vary so much. You can get a super cheapo one on the internet but is it going to be any good? Well to save any hassle and risk we bought this mattress from Dreams and knowing we had the guarantee of swapping it if it was not any good. But it's just so comfy I would not want to swap it. Feels really good quality as expected.

I bought this mattress along with my new bed frame and Im so happy I did. I was apprehensive about buying before trying but the reviews looked positive. For someone who suffers from chronic back and leg pain and going from a 7 year old Tempur memory foam I can honestly say the mattress is perfect for me, its very deep and comfortable. Im very happy with this purchase.

Having slept on this mattress for the last couple of weeks, I can confirm it is very comfortable medium firm and we are delighted with the purchase. It is also a good depth which fits perfectly into my existing base. Overall am delighted with our purchase, made online on the Dreams website which was easy to navigate and choose the delivery date at the same time.

I had tried this in a store so knew what it was like which helped make the right choice- the sales assistant had us use the mattress machine which narrowed the choice down. This mattress is really comfortable, just the perfect firmness and its definitely contributing to a good nights sleep! Would absolutely recommend- wish Id replaced the old one sooner!

Bought this a few weeks ago to replace a mattress that was only a few years old, but we'd never been particularly happy with it (another brand I might add). Had had Silentnight mattress in the past and decided to go back to a product we'd been happy with before. Good choice as we're now sleeping a lot better. Very comfy.

A superbly comfortable mattress that was delivered by two young men eho were pleasant and helpful and went out of their way to make sure i was happy and satisfied with my nrw purchase of a super king mattress. Excellent value for money and a trouble free experience with an online purchase that i had not tried beforehand.

Mattresses took some getting used to the first few nights my hips were REALLY sore but it seems to have bedded in so to speak and now I get a lovley nights sleep, long May it continue. Only downside is the lack of handles, we got super king and it was an absolute nightmare trying to get it upstairs with no handles!

I purchased this mattress 2 weeks ago after having a bad back for a few months, Id been referred to physio with no ease so thought Id purchase a new mattress on the off chance that it may help, so glad I did my pain is virtually gone and I can finally get a good nights sleep, the mattress support is excellent.

I bought this for my daughter after we moved back to the UK earlier this year. She had been sleeping on an old mattress on the floor when we arrived. She absolutely loves the new mattress. Its memory foam pillow top is luxurious and the pocket springs in the mattress give her a fabulous nights sleep.

I bought this bed without trying it out first so I was nervous to see what Id get. But I think this bed is amazingly comfy you just sink in to it at night. Its worked wonders for my back also. I didnt need to break this bed in at all. I am so impressed it is a bargain and worth the price of the bed

First time with a medium mattress as normally have extra soft but wanted the support and this really gives it. Had no issues with comfortability since sleeping on this mattress. It seems to make the bed appear neater and more structured. Its quite cool so needs extra or fluffy sheets.

This is bed is perfect for those with back pains. You get a great nights sleep every night. The matteress is on the firmer side of medium, but I am sure over the years this the mattress will not be as firm, understandably. The pillow top adds a very comfortable layer to the matress.

Bought this after reading all the other reviews. Weve now had this 2 weeks. The description is medium firmness. I would totally disagree, its definitely a firm mattress and at times feels like sleeping on a hard floor! Quite disappointed but praying that we get used to it!

This bed has more than lived up to my expectations. I didn't get a chance to personally test it in the store so was relying entirely on the description. And it has been just what the doctor ordered! I feel a bit like Goldilocks - not too firm, not too soft.....just perfect!

Purchased as medium but is really quite firm, not a cosy mattress by any stretch of the imagination. After getting used to it, I do get a good nights sleep but thinking about buying a topper, which after paying such a price for the mattress seems counter-intuitive.

Has anyone experienced backache relief after sleeping on this mattress?

Answer: Yes, a number of customer reviews note a significant reduction and even relief of their backache after switching to the Portchester mattress.
