Silentnight 3 Zone Memory Foam Rolled Mattress Made in the UK Medium Single, White

I have had my mattress now for 7 years in a months time and thought as it is now on its way out and I need a new one I could write a review about my experience of it.My birthday is in April and my mum asked me as she always does what I wanted, there was no hesitation "a new mattress please" I asked, mine is sagging in the middle and uncomfortable now to sleep on and sit on as I can feel the bed box of the divan beneath me.Going back 7 years, Mother asked me as she always did, what would I like for my upcoming birthday in April, at the time my husband and I were sleeping on an old sprung mattress we had, had since we got married 20 odd years before which poked and prodded you with the ends of the springs often leaving dents in the skin! It was very uncomfortable and even had holes in it where the springs ends poked through. I asked for a new mattress, I shared it with hubby but didn't mind after all we both slept on it.I found this one and liked the sound of it, I wanted memory foam because of my arthritis and had heaard it helped support the joints better and also preferred a foam one to a sprung mattress, this one was reasonable at the time and I picked it.It arrived 2 days after my birthday, it was in a strong plastic bag 4 ft 6 tall and rolled up in a tight bundle, we opened it on our bed and left it for about 18 of the 24 hours it recommended. With a house full of kids and no spare room we had to sleep on it that night, it seemed fine like it had bulked back to its usual size and indeed it was.Best nights sleep of my life (well one of them)Husband said he felt like he was going to fall out of bed all night and after a week decided he didn't like it at all, he complained it sloped down towards the floor and felt like he would end up on the rug each night, we started looking for a new sprung mattress this time.I loved this one and didn't want to change it , I had to find a way of making it feel secure for hubby at night so came up with an idea of putting the bed up on blocks of wood his side to slope the bed down towads my side as I was against the wall. It worked, Hubby was happy, I was happy, although more than once i woke up jammed against the wall, with him jammed against me as he had rolled down towards me during the night.Fast forward to September of the same year (2013) Hubby dropped the bomb shell, said he was having an affair and was leaving. He walked out of my life that night and never came back. (there is a point to this waffle I swear)I got very depressed and down and spent 2 years not leaving my bedroom apart from certain trips out with my son and for meals etc I started crocheting again to make myself feel better and found making blankets and baby clothes made me feel human again and made so many I started selling them at craft fairs. I would sit on the bed during the day with my crochet, in the centre of the mattress, my new place to lie now I had the bed to myself (star fish, star fish, snow angel!!) Bang in the centre of the bed, all 4ft 6 double bed to myself, bliss!!One day as well quite by accident I found out why hubby felt like he was falling out of bed all the time, the side of each of the divan boxes (there are 2) is broken and the top, a hard dense cardboard is sagging down to the side where he slept and as he was heavier than I am he would lie on these parts and roll towards the floor, so it wasn't the mattress not supporting him, it was the bed all along. Since hes left I have filled up the dips with, pillows and cushions under the mattress to hold it up, I dont sleep on that side anyway and being in the middle dont notice it at all. all is good, OK waffle over back to the mattress...It has 3 zones, the top where your head lies, the denser middle where the weight of your body lies and the foot end where.....well yeah, you guessed it.....your feet lie. Due to the memory foam layer and the 3 zones its not supposed to be turned and topped and tailed like I did with the sprung one we had used for 20 odd years. I did however top and tail the mattress every year.With me sat in the middle of the bed all day for 2 years and sleeping in the middle all night, the middle started to get pretty thin and this past year or so I started to notice as I got out of bed there was a dip in the middle.If ever my daughters came to stay, (Christmas etc as by 2015 they had moved out of the family home into their own) my youngest would sleep in with me, they usually stayed 3 nights at most so we managed. 3 Christmases ago we woke up on Christmas morning staring at one another pressed forehead to forehead and my daughter said "mum, your mattress is dreadful, its time you got a new one" (well she said something else but I cant repeat it here) "plus you are so used to having the bed to yourself you keep smacking me every time you turn over and no offence I'd rather sleep on the floor tonight" She did, haha!! She shared the single air bed with her sister and it developed a puncture in the night and they woke up on the floor boxing day morning with a deflated mattress beneath them! That is a whole nother story...Back to this mattress..As I am writing this review I am sat in the middle of the bed (as usual!) with 3 old pillows and several old cushions between the mattress and the divan to try and fill up the dip!, its lumpy and bumpy and its getting harder and harder to fluff them up each week when I make the bed as they are getting pretty flat themselves....time I had a new mattress.Both sides are fine however, they are comfortable to sit on, unlike the middle dip and feels like it did when it was new....mainly because I just sleep bang slap in the middle all the time and due to the dip you cant sit or lay on the sides without waking up having rolled into the dip. If you sit there with another person, you both end up in said dip, It is definitely not very comfortable anymore!In conclusion. This is a very comfortable mattress, the memory foam is great for supporting my joints, the foam mattress below the memory foam is very supportive and indeed comfortable, I think mine got uncomfortable due to the 2 years I spent sat on it in the same place day and night and wore it out faster, I should really have got a new one 2 years ago when this was 5 years old. I think it would have lasted a good 8 years though had I not taken to my bed for 2 years after he left.The 3 zones are a good idea but you cant really turn this to allow even wear making it last longer and the memory foam layer stopped you turning it over too. I think my next mattress will be a standard sprung one with a memory foam mattress topper to allow for the turning and topping and tailing of the new mattress to make sure it wears evenly so I wont be buying another one of these however I am glad I did as I have loved it its just as I have mentioned above being able to turn and top and tail it for a more even wear.I really need a new bed too but that will have to wait a bit, so I will have to put up with the cushions and old pillows patching up those bits for a little longer.

For what you pay its a usable comfortable mattress. However, after letting it rest for 24 hours it has definitely not expanded to the described 14cm. It is also firmer than I expected which might be uncomfortable for some people

If you just want something to sleep on it’s good, only thing is that it smells of chemicals quite a bit so I’d let it air out for a day or too if you can but will take much longer for smell to dissipate

I bought this mattress for my child and loved it so much I replaced my other mattresses with this one too.Comfortable, firm but not too hard. Perfect for us with children aged 11, 8 and 4.

Good for the price

Came very nicely and light

Very good mattress with good support, can get very warm during summer as doesn't feel as breathable but still very good

I considered the 3 zone mattress  Silentnight Mattress 3-Zone Memory Foam Rolled Mattress, King  and opted for this one as the price difference was only £50 Silentnight Mattress 7-Zone Memory Foam Rolled Mattress, King I have a couple of slipped discs in my thoracic area of my (upper)back and `soft tissue' damage in my neck. I get numb hands with pins & needles if I lay slightly on either side, middle & lower back ache the longer I stay in bed. I can't do a lay in. Headaches from my neck and in the last year or so, very poor circulation in my legs. The side effect being mostly 1 but sometimes 2, freezing feet, despite having being tucked up and nice & warm everywhere else!I found it more comfortable to sleep sat up, so I bought a wedge pillow  BED WEDGE WITH WASHABLE,QUILTED POLY COTTON COVER to add to my other 4 feather pillows (tried the ortho neck pillow) and the 5th to soften to hard feel of the wedge! If I managed to not move all night, I wouldn't get so much lower & middle back pain.My old mattress is a pocket sprung orthopaedic good quality mattress costing £500 11 yrs. ago. I hated the damn thing and never found it relived my pain. Over the last couple of years especially, going to bed was a necessary evil to be endured! Was it the mattress or just my back? I have done lots of research on mattresses and would pay lots of money for one that would guarantee comfort and lessen pain. I've even looked for other people with the same injury (couldn't find any) to see what they recommend. The memory foam style mattress seem good for some & not others .The main problem was potentially paying out up to £3000 for another mattress I'd hate. I'm aware that some companies allow you a 60 day money back offer (Tempur), but they also charge 2 x delivery so you're out of pocket £120 if it doesn't suit. Dreams offer a 40 day swap offer, but I was put off by their dreadful customer service rating by Which & other websites. What price do you pay for comfort? I have a friend that had purchased 3 mattresses of varying price and quality & found the last & cheapest to be the most comfortable! So that's why I've waited so long to replace the old one.Anyway.. I used Which as a place to start. The Silentnight Mattress, 3-Zone Memory Foam Rolled Mattress came top as a Which best buy. The only problem being was locating it. Despite checking Silentnight stockists, the only place it was available was Amazon. That meant I would be unable to try it out first. However when checking reviews, most gave it a 5 star rating, so I thought I'd be mad not to try at that price. If the worse came, I'd sell it as nearly new and hopefully get most of my cash back.We did give it a full 20 ish hours before using it, just to be sure it settled & grew to full size. It is about an inch smaller in length & width that the old mattress, but once the bed is made, is not noticeable on our wooden slatted base frame. Our base does comply with the max & min gaps recommended by Silentnight as noted in other reviews. Because other reviews reported it to be warm, & my husband hates to be too hot, I used an extra sheet under the mattress protector. In total there a now 3 layers between us & the mattress.2 weeks later...I can now sit up in bed & read for hours without my backside going numb! I don't bounce out the bed when my far heavier husband get in or turns over. In fact I don't even wake anymore when he turns. An unexpected bonus. `Other' bedroom activities are not effected by the change in mattress type as some report with memory foam.The wedge pillow is gone! I can lie flatter, still slightly sat up, but at least I can roll on my side again. It was impossible at the odd angle I used to be in sat up & uncomfortable on my hip joints before, but not anymore.My circulation has improved? It's not cured but definitely better.Overall I've enjoyed a better nights sleep & less lower & middle back pain. It is warm, but not unbearable. My husband has no complaints as he did with the old one. I was so concerned it could have been worse I'd been reluctant to take the plunge. But at this price, you can't really lose. I wish I'd bought one years ago!!
