Aspire Comfort Rolled Mattress reviewed

The Aspire Comfort Rolled Mattress is a 19.5cm Bonnell sprung mattress with no foam in it at all, made in the UK and sent vacuum packed in a roll. It is the cheapest sprung mattress on Aspire’s own shop, and Aspire rates it medium-soft. That combination makes it a sensible buy for a guest room, a teenager’s first double or a loft room with a narrow stair, and a weaker one for a bed you sleep on every night for years.

What is inside

Aspire’s cross-section drawing lists six layers. Up to 460 open coil springs per mattress do the supporting, sandwiched between recycled fibre pads rather than foam:

An open coil unit links every spring to its neighbours with wire, so the whole surface moves together. You feel that as a bouncier, more even surface than memory foam, and also as more movement when a partner turns over. The fibre fillings are thin compared with Aspire’s tufted models, which is why the feel stays soft rather than plush. Because there is no foam layer, the mattress does not trap heat the way a solid foam block can, and the open fabric underneath lets air move through the coil.

Sizes and prices

There is no super king. Prices were checked on Aspire’s shop on 15 October 2026 and none of the sizes carried a reduction. Delivery is free to the doorstep on the UK mainland, and a rolled mattress fits through doorways that a flat one will not.

What to weigh up before ordering

The warranty is the short one in Aspire’s range: 12 months, against five years on the brand’s tufted pocket sprung mattresses. There is no sleep trial either, and Aspire’s returns policy excludes mattresses whose hygiene seal has been broken from the 14-day cancellation right, so once it is unwrapped you keep it unless it is faulty. Aspire states that its Essentials mattresses meet the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988, the UK standard every mattress sold here has to pass.

A heavier sleeper or anyone with back pain will get more out of a pocket sprung mattress such as Aspire’s own Pocket+ 1000 range, which costs more but supports each spring separately.
