Habitat Ari Natural 1000 Pocket Comfort Mattress im Test

The Habitat Ari Natural 1000 Pocket Comfort is a 23.5cm pocket sprung mattress from Habitat, the home brand sold through Argos, and Habitat states that it is foam free. It is made in the UK, has a medium feel and was rated 4.7 out of 5 by Argos buyers, from fewer than 30 reviews, as read on 5 October 2026.

How it is built

Habitat names certified British wool as the main filling, with comfort layers of recycled polyester above and below it and pocket springs beneath. The National Bed Federation’s Bed Advice UK guide describes wool as a “naturally resilient fibre” that is “also breathable”, which is why wool-filled mattresses tend to suit people who sleep warm.

The “1000” in the name is the spring count of a larger size. The Argos product pages list 578 springs in the single, 884 in the double and 1,073 in the king. The tufted cover holds the fillings in place, and the mattress is no-turn, needing only regular rotation.

Sizes and prices at Argos

Prices were regular, with no sale running. There is no super king, and the mattress arrives flat rather than rolled.

Who it suits

Wool and fibre over pocket springs give a breathable, medium surface that suits warm sleepers and back sleepers, and anyone who wants to avoid foam. Argos buyers score its firmness 3.7 out of 5. The review pool is still small, so treat the rating as an early signal.

The manufacturer’s guarantee is 1 year, shorter than the five years Silentnight gives at a similar price. Argos’s 100-night comfort promise allows one exchange for another mattress of the same size.
