Our Thoughts On The Silentnight Portrush 800 Pocket Memory Pillowtop Mattress

If you're looking for a new mattress that offers comfort, support and durability, then you might want to read on and find out what I think about the Silentnight Portrush 800 Pocket Memory Pillowtop Mattress.

First of all, let me tell you why I chose this mattress. I have been suffering from back pain and stiffness for a while now, and I wanted a mattress that could provide me with some relief. I also wanted a mattress that was eco-friendly and made from natural materials. After doing some research online, I came across the Silentnight Portrush mattress, which seemed to tick all the boxes for me.

The Silentnight Portrush mattress is a pocket sprung mattress with a memory foam pillow top layer. It has a firm comfort grade, which means it's suitable for people who prefer more support and less sinkage. The pocket springs are individually wrapped in fabric pockets, which allow them to move independently and adapt to your body shape and weight distribution. This also helps to reduce motion transfer between partners, so you won't be disturbed by your partner's movements during the night.

The memory foam pillow top layer is designed to provide extra comfort and cushioning for sumptuous comfort. Memory foam is known for its pressure-relieving properties, as it moulds to your body contours and aligns your spine in a natural position. The pillow top layer also adds some softness and plushness to the mattress surface, making it feel more luxurious.

One of the features that attracted me to this mattress was its eco-friendliness. The Silentnight Portrush mattress uses Eco Comfort Fibres™ in its fillings, which are made from recycled plastic bottles. These fibres are not only environmentally friendly but also breathable and hypoallergenic. They help to regulate your body temperature and keep you cool and fresh throughout the night.

Another feature that impressed me was the durability of this mattress. The Silentnight Portrush mattress comes with a 5-year guarantee from Dreams, which shows how confident they are about their product quality. The mattress is also tested at an in-house approved lab by Silentnight experts, who ensure that it meets their high standards of performance and safety.

So, how does this mattress feel? Well, I have been sleeping on it for about two weeks now, and I have to say that I'm very happy with my purchase. The mattress is firm but not hard; it supports my back well but also cradles my hips and shoulders nicely. The memory foam pillow top layer adds some softness and comfort; it feels like sleeping on a cloud. The mattress is also very quiet; I don't hear any squeaks or creaks when I move around.

The only downside that I can think of is that the mattress is quite heavy; it weighs about 30 kg for a king size, so you might need some help when moving or flipping it. However, this is not a big issue for me as I don't plan to move it anytime soon.

Overall, I would highly recommend the Silentnight Portrush 800 Pocket Memory Pillow Top Mattress if you're looking for a firm but comfortable pocket sprung mattress with a memory foam pillow top layer. It's eco-friendly, durable, supportive and cozy; what more could you ask for?

Pros and Cons

The 816 pocket springs provide excellent support for back sleepers as each spring operates individually, helping to distribute weight evenly across the mattress and offer more tailored support. This is especially good for maintaining spinal alignment.

The use of recyclable materials aligns with eco-conscious choices. Plus, the fibres' breathability promotes airflow for a cooler sleep, which is beneficial for those who sleep hot.

As back sleepers generally need a firmer mattress to keep their spine aligned, this mattress will fit the bill for these sleepers, although side sleepers may struggle.

The absence of handles makes it difficult to rotate and flip the mattress, which can be important for maintaining its condition over time.

Some users reported a slight initial smell when the mattress is new, which is common with memory foam products due to a process called off-gassing. However, the smell usually dissipates after a few days.

Despite its firm rating, a few users reported that the edges sink in easily which suggests edge support could be better, not a deal breaker but worth being aware of this.

Empirical Data Of Silentnight Portrush 800 Pocket Memory Pillowtop Mattress

We have took a deep dive into the specifications and customer reviews to bring the below dataset. Be advised that the modelling assumes average weight and so suitability may vary.

Suitability

Back Sleepers

For back sleepers, the level of support a mattress provides is influenced by its firmness and the type of support layer used, with considerations tailored to those of an average build to ensure proper spinal alignment and comfort.

Suitability

Side Sleepers

For side sleepers, it’s important to have a mattress with a supportive tension that strikes the right balance—neither too firm nor too soft. This ensures the hips and shoulders can sink adequately, promoting proper spinal alignment and overall comfort.

Suitability

Stomach Sleepers

For stomach sleepers, a mattress should provide a firm and supportive base layer to offer adequate body contouring and prevent aches and pains. The level of support needed may vary depending on your body type and build.

Performance

Breathability

Mattresses designed with breathable materials enhance airflow, allowing heat to dissipate and helping to regulate your body temperature throughout the night. This not only keeps you comfortable but also provides a hygienic sleeping environment.

Performance

Turning on mattress

Some materials, such as memory foam, can make it harder to move or reposition yourself as you sleep, due to their contouring nature. Similarly, pillow-top designs, while offering a plush feel, can reduce movement making turning more challenging.

Performance

Stability

Stability is influenced by the type of support layer used, affecting edge-to-edge support and the prevention of roll-together. For instance, pocket springs with a firmer tension typically offer greater stability compared to softer open coil designs.

Odour

Reduced Initial Odour

Some mattresses, especially those made with memory foam or delivered as rolled bed-in-a-box options, may have a noticeable smell when first unpacked. This initial odour usually fades significantly within 24 hours as the materials air out.

Odour

Reduced Standing Odour

In some mattresses, certain material compositions can lead to a longer-lasting odour that may persist beyond the typical airing-out period. This is more common in products with dense foams or certain adhesives, but proper ventilation can help reduce the scent over time.

Comfort meets sustainability with this mattress. Firm yet cozy, it's a dream for back sleepers, and the eco-friendly fibres add another tick. Excellent investment for quality sleep.

Vikkiuk7 via Dreams

Memory foam topper is comfortable. Sitting on edge caused Mattress to compress quite a lot, more like a soft mattress. Springs can be felt on the sides which was surprising. Not the quality i was expecting for price paid.

Daleslady via Dreams

After lower back problems leading to surgery I was in desperate need of a good supportive mattress. I researched all brands, particularly reading customer reviews and finally decided this was the mattress for me. At last I get a good nights sleep and get out of bed in the morning without pain. I love it so much, it gives both support and comfort in one mattress.

David M, Lincolnshire via Dreams

Excellent service, doing what they said they would do from the outset, and meeting all time scales.

Sleepy Dave via Dreams

Extremely comfortable mattress with just the right amount of firmness. Wake up in the morning with no backache. Would have added another star if there were handles on the side to help with turning.

Suzanne09 via Dreams

Purchased 2 of these for daughters who are early 20’s new double beds. They are extremely happy and my eldest daughter says it’s the best sleep she’s had. Highly recommend.

DrMoon via Dreams

This mattress is incredibly comfortable. Both my wife and I have back issues and knew we needed a firm mattress. However, with the addition of the pillow top this firm mattress is incredibly comfortable AND supportive. Our backs have never been happier. The delivery team were also incredibly helpful and nice enough to take it up two flights of awkward stairs and help remove the old mattress for recycling. Definitely recommend this!

Abcz via Dreams

So comfy looking for something that supports but isn’t soo hard . This is perfect .

MrJr via Dreams

Very good mattress. Feel like sleeping in a cloud.

DaveC73 via Dreams

Not the best mattress we’ve had, springs in the lower part are really prominent

Darren33 via Dreams

Well made mattress but the topper makes this a bit to soft for me but will be right for others.

KMD2 via Dreams

This is a great improvement on my previous mattress. Good support and far less aches and pains on waking. Appears to be well constructed and I expect it to be hard wearing.

trev1962 via Dreams

Bought this a couple of weeks ago and have found it to be a very comfortable mattress leading to much improved nights sleep

Anuj via Dreams

I bought this mattress and anti allergian cover almost month ago and I am very happy with it design and comfort

No Name Provided via Dreams

Lovely mattress and very comfy. It does not roll you around and it holds it shape well. The only thing stopping 5* is a la k of handles, you need to be able to lift rather than pull it around. Otherwise, every happy with the product.

AndyAbz via Dreams

A decent mattress for the price, not as firm as we'd hoped but overall we're happy with it.

John 1967 via Dreams

Replaced a 12 year old mattress that had seen better days. Wanted the same one but they stopped making it. This was a similar one with a topper. It was a bit harder than my old mattress but is extremely comfortable and have slept well since I purchased it.

Aled via Dreams

I’ve had this mattress for about 2 weeks and have found it to be harder than I would like.

KikiC via Dreams

So I had been suffering with chronic back problems and a new mattress was in order. It came almost a month later and I AM IN HEAVEN. It really was at that the moment I had never slept properly a day in my life. I wasn't home when the delivery came but my brother was sure to tell me to thank Andy and Ryan for taking off their shoes to make delivery.

Asli2813 via Dreams

I bought this mattress nearly a month ago, which replaced our 15 year old mattress! There was a funny smell initially which disappeared a few days after. So far, love the mattress.

Reasons To Buy

Specifications without the jargon, easy to understand and digest.

Memory foam pillow top

Do you know what sleeping on memory foam feels like? You will never want to go back to a regular mattress again. Memory foam is one the most comfortable comfort layers for beds and is an affordable and highly regarded material used for rebounding comfort. Originally developed by NASA there are very few downsides to memory foam with the only notable one focussing around temperature regulation, this is because memory foam does not breath particularly well. In order to offset this, many mattresses of this calibre come with additional vents and other breathable layers to assist those that would otherwise find themselves getting too hot.

Comfort grade - Firm

A firm tension mattress is perfect for those who are potentially heavier than average, also commonly recommended across the web for those suffering from back pain. This mattress provides support to the entire body, and still has a high quality comfort layer to provide the comfort necessary to get a great nights sleep. Personally, I wouldn't recommend this level of firmness for side sleepers as your shoulders and hips do not typically have the amount of travel through the mattress to not contort your body. Mileage will of course vary but we love this mattress for back and stomach sleepers.

Eco comfort fibre technology

Silentnight has a long-standing commitment to comfort, and they're always looking for new ways to improve the experience of their customers. The latest innovation is eco comfort fibre technology! This new eco green tech operates as a comfort layer and viable alternative to memory foam. Made from recycled plastic bottles, the comfort is impressive and has become a core part of Silentnights new line up in recent years. Proving popular with consumers, this is a comfort layer you do not want to miss out on.

Single sided - Rotate head to toe weekly for the first three months, then every month thereafter

You should rotate your mattress so that you get the most out of it. You'll still be sleeping on the same surface, but you'll have a much more comfortable sleep because your body will be in a proper alignment as springs fillings and more have the opportunity to unsettle and prevent any dips or divots that would otherwise occur, causing potential discomfort.

Online exclusive

This mattress is only available online and can not be seen or tried in store. This is a positive indicator for the customer since products in store are positioned as such because they have higher margins and are thereby not offering the same value for money as online only models.
