Silentnight Firmcare Mattress
The Silentnight Firmcare mattress is Silentnight’s entry level mattress. It has various guises: Silver Label (independent stores), Hendon (Argos), Montana (Tesco) etc etc. Minor specification changes but I’d buy any of them with the expectation they would all feel similar. FIRM!
Our version is the Silentnight Firmcare Prestige Limited Edition mattress. We can only buy it when Silentnight has spare production capacity, which is a pain. We end up buying 6 months stock at once. But the mattress is hugely popular and although we stock what I consider to be better mattresses for the same price, the brand does give people the trust they need.
What does surprise me is not that the mattress is popular to buy on the internet but that the reviews we get from customers who have received it are almost universally good. Our reviews are collected by a third party independent company. If they weren’t I’d have thought I had written them myself!
My take on this feedback is not that no-one needs anything better than the cheapest Silentnight mattress. It must be that customers who buy this mattress have been sleeping on something really bad before.
Of course there is not much insight here. We operate a bed disposal service and rarely do we get back a mattress that you think you might want to keep. When people throw out their old mattress, believe me, it needs throwing out!
I do feel that Silentnight has made their Firmcare mattress to a price. It only takes a relatively small amount of money extra to make something quite significantly better. So what is my recommendation? Our Silentnight Prestige Luxury Ariel. Now that is luxury. Firm is fine, but give me a bit of comfort and support any day.
