Hypoallergenic fillings and covers help keep dust mites and allergens at bay - ideal for allergy-prone sleepers.

Pressure Relief
Achy hips or shoulders?
Cushioning comfort layers spread your weight evenly, easing pressure around hips and shoulders.

Hot in July, cold in January?
A balanced build that doesn't run hot in summer or cold in winter, so it works all year round.

Needed a good quality mattress for my single bed. This one is just right, not too hard or too soft. 1000 even spread pocket springs make it a really comfortable and solid mattress. I usually buy branded mattresses such as Sealy or Silent Night but this one seems just as good. Got it in the sale, delivery within 2 days, always buy from this website and the prices are always the most competitive.

Very happy with this matress. It arrived within 22 hours of ordering! I thought at first they'd sent a more expensive one by mistake, but no its the right one, very impressed with the quality, especially considering the price. Having used it for a week it's comfortable without being too soft, but firm enough to be supportive. Very happy with it.

Great mattress: well priced for a 1,000 pocket sprung, double sided mattress. Ordering and delivery was really efficient: top marks there. Only thing stopping 5 stars on Quality is a really picky thing: no handles! Just a bit more difficult to move and turn over etc. But that's being a bit picky, in all honesty! Would recommend regardless

We bought the mattress for my great grandson to use occasionally when he stays with us. It’s very comfortable and seems to be very good quality. It is excellent value fir money. We don’t know about durability of course because we’ve only had it 2 weeks but it seems well made. We would certainly recommend it.

Springy mattress, which gives a comfortable sleep; not too hard or too soft. (I also use a memory foam topper.) Appears to be good quality, but sitting on the edge there seems to be a lot more 'give' than my previous mattress. I am happy with the purchase.

Good To Know

Frequently asked questions

How does the pocket spring system work in the Everyday Pocket Essential 1000?
The Everyday Pocket Essential 1000 features 1000 individually moving pocket springs that are each encapsulated in fabric. This allows the springs to move independently, providing tailored support to your body while preventing any roll together, ensuring a comfortable and quiet night's sleep.
What fillings does this mattress contain?
This mattress is filled with white fibre fillings that are hypoallergenic and made entirely from polyester. They are not only long-lasting but also ideal for those suffering from hay fever, making it a suitable choice for allergy sufferers.
Is the Everyday Pocket Essential 1000 suitable for allergy sufferers?
Yes, the mattress is made with hypoallergenic polyester fillings, which are excellent for hay fever sufferers. This ensures a healthier sleeping environment by reducing allergens.
How should I care for the Everyday Pocket Essential 1000?
To maintain the Everyday Pocket Essential 1000, it is recommended to turn and rotate the mattress frequently. This will help ensure even wear and prolong its lifespan.
What is the recommended weight limit for the Everyday Pocket Essential 1000 mattress?
The Everyday Pocket Essential 1000 mattress is designed to provide optimal support and comfort for a range of body types. However, for individuals on the heavier side, it's advisable to consider a firmer mattress option to ensure adequate spinal support. While there isn't a specific weight limit, adhering to this guideline will help you make the best choice for your individual sleeping needs.
What benefits does the double-sided feature of the Everyday Pocket Essential 1000 provide?
The double-sided design of the Everyday Pocket Essential 1000 allows you to flip the mattress at regular three-month intervals, which is crucial for maintaining its lifespan. By alternating between both sides, you can prevent deep body impressions and improve weight distribution, leading to a more durable and comfortable sleeping surface. This feature enhances the overall longevity and performance of the mattress.
Can you explain the hand-tufted feature of the mattress?
The Everyday Pocket Essential 1000 is hand-tufted, which means buttons are evenly placed over the sleeping surface. This technique keeps the fillings securely in place and adds tension to the springs for better support.
How does the medium firmness of this mattress affect back support?
The medium firmness of the Everyday Pocket Essential 1000 is designed to provide ample support for side sleepers, as it cushions the hip and shoulder appropriately. This level of firmness helps maintain spinal alignment, ensuring that your back is supported while allowing for comfort. However, if you are heavier or primarily sleep on your stomach or back, a firmer mattress may be more suitable for adequate support.
What should I consider when deciding if the medium firmness of this mattress will meet my needs?
When considering the medium firmness of the Everyday Pocket Essential 1000, it's important to think about your sleeping position. This mattress is particularly well-suited for side sleepers, as its medium tension effectively cushions the hips and shoulders. If you are heavier or primarily sleep on your stomach or back, you might require a firmer mattress to ensure proper spine support.
How do I know if the Everyday Pocket Essential 1000 is suitable for my sleeping position?
The Everyday Pocket Essential 1000 is particularly well-suited for side sleepers, as its medium firmness provides enough cushioning for the hips and shoulders. If you primarily sleep on your stomach or back, it may be better to consider a firmer mattress to ensure proper spine support. However, many side sleepers find that this mattress offers a great balance of comfort and support for their needs.
