The Aspire Cashmere 1000 Pocket Tufted is a 25cm pocket sprung mattress from Aspire Furniture’s budget Essentials line, with a cashmere and wool blend under a tufted cover. A 4ft6 double costs £379.99 on Aspire Store, far less than the hand-tufted 3000 models.

Construction

Aspire’s layer diagram shows eight parts, from the sleep surface down.

Layer What it does
Aspire Cool Touch tufted cover Breathable knitted sleep surface
Cashmere blend layer (250gsm) Cashmere and wool comfort filling
800gsm recycled poly fibre Soft padding over the springs
Recycled felt insulators Pads above and below the spring unit
Up to 1,000 nested pocket springs Main support
400gsm recycled poly fibre base Foundation under the springs
Non-sleep base fabric Breathable underside that stops the mattress sliding

Aspire says the comfort fillings are four times those of a standard tufted mattress, and it rates the feel medium-firm. With up to 1,000 springs, it sits inside the 600-800 to 2,500 range that the National Bed Federation describes as typical for pocket sprung mattresses. It is single-sided, so rotate it head to foot rather than flipping it. The 10-inch name and Aspire’s description both give a depth of 25cm, although the spec table on the same page says 20cm.

Returns and guarantee

There is no sleep trial. Aspire’s returns policy lets you cancel within 14 days of delivery, except for mattresses whose hygiene seal has been broken, so the decision is final once the plastic is off. The 5-year guarantee is free in the first year only; after that Aspire charges 20% of the current retail price towards a replacement in year two, rising to 70% in year five.

Who it suits

It is a sensible choice for a guest room, a teenager’s room or a first double where you want springs and natural fibres on a budget, and its medium-firm feel suits back and front sleepers. Couples who want more cushioning should look at the 7000 Pocket Wool Cashmere and Silk Pillowtop, which adds 6,000 micro springs and a pillowtop for more money. The rest of the range, from rolled hybrids to the hand-tufted 3000 models, is compared in our Aspire mattress comparison.

Our verdict

Conclusion
“For a guest room or a first double, this is the cheapest way to get a traditional tufted Aspire with natural fibres in the top. Couples who want a softer, more cushioned surface should pay more for the 7000 pillowtop.”
