PISA 1000 POCKET MEDIUM MATTRESS

The Pisa 1000 Pocket Medium Mattress is named clearly for what it is. Pocket sprung, 1000 springs, medium feel. Not the softest in the range. Not the firmest. Not hand-tufted. Not a pillowtop. The Pisa is the medium pocket spring mattress in the range that leads with balance rather than with any single differentiating feature. That is its position and its strength. A significant portion of sleepers want exactly this: a properly made pocket spring mattress at a true medium feel, available at a fair price, that will perform consistently for years without requiring careful selection of the right type for a specific sleep style.

The spring system is 1000 individually pocketed springs at a standard double size, scaling proportionally with mattress size to maintain the same spring density from single through to super king. Each spring is enclosed in its own fabric pocket and compresses independently, providing the individual body response and motion isolation that defines pocket sprung over open coil. The springs are set to a true medium tension: not weighted toward the soft end of medium, as the Cloud 1000 is, and not weighted toward the firm end, as the Uxbridge 1000 is. The Pisa is the centre of the range, and it holds that position without ambiguity.

The comfort layers above the spring system are upholstered to a standard that delivers the medium feel consistently across the full sleeping surface. The sleeping surface is well-finished and even, with the rod edge border construction keeping the support consistent right to the perimeter of the mattress. There are no soft spots, no variation in tension between the centre and the edges, and no characteristic that makes the Pisa more suitable for one sleeper type than another. Back sleepers find the lumbar support appropriate. Side sleepers find the shoulder and hip accommodated without pressure. Combination sleepers find the feel balanced across all positions. The Pisa covers all of these without being optimised for any single one.

The Pisa 1000 is the right choice for anyone who knows they want a medium pocket spring mattress and does not need the additional features that differentiate the other 1000 spring models in the range. It is right for bedrooms where a reliable, well-made pocket spring mattress is the requirement and the sleeper's preference is straightforwardly medium. It is right for guest rooms where a proper pocket spring mattress with a true medium feel suits the widest possible range of visitors. And it is right as an everyday mattress where longevity and consistent performance matter more than any single standout quality. Compatible with all Macba Beds bases and available in every standard UK size.

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS

🔹 1000 Individually Pocketed Springs

Each of the 1000 springs in the Pisa is enclosed in its own fabric pocket and compresses independently of those around it. This individual spring action provides precise body response across the full sleeping surface, more targeted support under different body areas than any open coil mattress, and significantly reduced motion transfer from one side of the bed to the other. All the core benefits of the pocket sprung category, delivered at 1000 springs per double size.

🔹 True Medium Feel  No Bias Toward Soft or Firm

The Pisa is positioned at a true medium tension: the centre of the feel range without the softer weighting of the Cloud 1000 or the firmer weighting of the Uxbridge 1000. For sleepers who know their preference is medium and do not want a mattress that leans in either direction, the Pisa is the right choice in the 1000 spring group. The medium feel suits the broadest range of sleeper types and the Pisa delivers it without qualification or compromise.

🔹 Consistent Performance Across All Sleeper Types

The true medium feel and the 1000-spring independent response of the Pisa works reliably across back sleepers, side sleepers, stomach sleepers, and combination sleepers. Back sleepers get appropriate lumbar support. Side sleepers get enough give at the shoulder and hip for lateral spinal alignment. Combination sleepers find the feel balanced across all positions. The Pisa does not excel for any single type above others: it performs consistently well across all of them.

🔹 Good Motion Isolation for Couples

The individual pocket spring action significantly reduces motion transfer compared to any open coil mattress. One person moving during the night disturbs the other considerably less. For couples who are stepping up from open coil and want noticeably better motion isolation at a medium feel and a fair price, the Pisa delivers this reliably.

🔹 Rod Edge Border Construction

The border of the Pisa is reinforced with a rod edge construction that keeps the sleeping surface consistent right to the edge of the mattress. No roll-off, no compression at the sides, and full usable support across the complete mattress width. The rod edge also maintains the shape of the mattress perimeter over consistent daily use.

🔹 Well-Finished Sleeping Surface

The comfort layers above the spring system are upholstered to a consistent standard that delivers the medium feel evenly across the full sleeping surface. No variation between the centre and the edges, no soft spots, and a well-finished cover on both surfaces that is appropriate for everyday use.

🔹 Rotatable for Even Wear

The Pisa should be rotated end to end regularly to distribute compression evenly across the pocket spring system and the comfort layers. Regular rotation maintains the medium feel consistently across the full sleeping surface and extends the working life of the mattress. Check the individual product listing for flipping guidance.

🔹 Compatible with All Macba Beds Bases

The Pisa 1000 is compatible with all Macba Beds divan bases, bed frames with slat bases, and ottoman bases. Check the individual product page for electric adjustable bed compatibility before ordering for an adjustable base.

🔹 All Standard UK Sizes

Available in single, small double, double, king size, and super king. Spring count scales proportionally with mattress size to maintain the same spring density across all sizes.

🔹 100-Day Free Trial

Sleep on the Pisa 1000 for up to 100 nights before making your final decision. If it is not right within that period, contact the Macba Beds team and they will take you through the next steps.

🔹 5-Year Warranty

Every Pisa 1000 Pocket Medium Mattress is backed by a 5-year warranty covering the spring system and construction against manufacturing defects. If something is not right due to a fault in materials or workmanship, Macba Beds will repair or replace it.

🔹 Free Tracked UK Delivery

Free tracked delivery is included on every order to mainland UK addresses. No minimum spend, no hidden charges at checkout. You will receive a tracking reference by email as soon as your order is dispatched.

WHERE THE PISA SITS IN THE 1000 SPRING GROUP

Use this as an editorial or expandable comparison section to help buyers choose within the 1000 pocket spring group:

Mattress	Feel	Key Character	Best For
Cloud 1000 Pocket Spring	Medium-Soft	Softer comfort layers. More cushioning at the sleeping surface. Leads with pressure relief.	Side sleepers, lighter individuals, anyone who prefers a softer surface with pocket spring support underneath.
Pisa 1000 Pocket Medium	Medium	True medium. No bias toward soft or firm. Consistent across all sleeper types. Leads with balance.	Sleepers who know they want medium and do not need the additional character of the other 1000 spring models. Guest rooms. Reliable everyday use.
Wilson 1000 Pocket Sprung	Medium	Medium feel at the most accessible price in the group. Leads with value.	Buyers who want the pocket spring essentials at the lowest price in the medium 1000 group.
Tufted 1000 Pocket Sprung	Medium	Medium feel with hand-tufted finish for shape retention. Leads with long-term quality.	Buyers who want the medium 1000 feel with the added quality of hand tufting maintaining the surface over time.
Uxbridge 1000 Pocket	Medium-Firm	Firmer medium. More support underfoot. Leads with back support.	Back sleepers and those who want more resistance at medium spring count.

The Pisa and Wilson both have a medium feel at 1000 springs. The Pisa is positioned as the balanced, consistent choice in the group. The Wilson is the value entry point. Both are good everyday pocket spring mattresses: the choice between them comes down to whether the feel balance or the price is the primary decision driver.

DELIVERY & SETUP

Delivery

Free tracked delivery is included on every order to mainland UK addresses. No minimum spend, no hidden charges at checkout. You will receive a tracking reference by email as soon as your order is dispatched. The Pisa 1000 is delivered rolled and vacuum-packed or flat-packed depending on size. Allow the mattress to fully expand and breathe for at least two to four hours before sleeping on it. Deliveries to the Scottish Highlands, Northern Ireland, and some remote postcodes may take a little longer: contact the Macba Beds team before ordering if you need to confirm timescales for your area.

Setup

Place the Pisa 1000 on your chosen base with the labelled top surface facing upward for first use. Ensure the base is clean, flat, and undamaged before placing the mattress. On a slat frame, confirm all slats are correctly seated and evenly spaced at no more than 7cm apart: gaps wider than this can allow individual pocket springs to push through over time, reducing support consistency. On a divan base, ensure the platform top or spring top is flat and undamaged. The true medium feel will be fully apparent from the first night.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Rotation Schedule

Rotate the Pisa 1000 end to end every two to three months for the first year, then every four to six months thereafter. Regular rotation distributes compression evenly across the pocket spring system and the comfort layers, prevents body-shaped indentations from forming in one area, and maintains the true medium feel consistently across the full sleeping surface over the life of the mattress.

Flipping

Check the individual product listing for flipping guidance specific to the Pisa 1000. If the listing confirms it is flippable, rotate and flip every three to four months for the best wear distribution across both surfaces.

Ventilation

Leave the mattress uncovered for at least thirty minutes when changing bedding to allow moisture to escape from the sleeping surface and the pocket spring system. The individual spring pockets allow reasonable airflow through the spring unit: regular ventilation during bedding changes keeps this effective over time.

Mattress Protector

A mattress protector is strongly recommended. It protects the sleeping surface from body oils, moisture, and soiling, maintains the mattress in warranty condition, and does not affect the medium feel if a thin, breathable protector is used. A waterproof protector is recommended for households with children.

Cleaning

Do not wet the mattress or use a steam cleaner. For surface marks, spot clean with a lightly damp cloth and a small amount of mild fabric cleaner and leave to air dry completely before remaking the bed. Do not allow moisture to penetrate through the cover into the pocket spring system. Vacuum the mattress surface lightly on a low setting every few months.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What makes the Pisa 1000 different from the Wilson 1000?

A: Both are 1000 pocket spring mattresses with a medium feel. The Pisa is positioned as the balanced, consistent choice in the group: a true medium tension without bias in either direction, a well-finished sleeping surface, and a reliable performance across all sleeper types. The Wilson is the value entry point in the same group, delivering the pocket spring essentials at the most accessible price. The feel is very similar between the two. The choice comes down primarily to whether the balanced positioning of the Pisa or the lower price of the Wilson is the deciding factor.

Q: Is the Pisa medium feel truly medium or does it lean one way?

A: The Pisa is positioned at a true medium: the centre of the feel range without the soft weighting of the Cloud 1000 or the firmer weighting of the Uxbridge 1000. If you want a medium that leans softer, the Cloud 1000 is the right choice. If you want a medium that leans firmer, the Uxbridge 1000 is the right choice. If you want a straightforward medium with no particular bias, the Pisa is exactly that.

Q: Is it suitable for couples?

A: Yes. The individual pocket spring action provides good motion isolation, significantly better than any open coil mattress. One person moving during the night disturbs the other considerably less. The true medium feel suits couples with broadly similar preferences in the middle of the feel range. For couples where motion isolation is the top priority, the Macba Beds 2000 Pocket Sprung offers superior motion isolation at double the spring count.

Q: How does the Pisa compare to the Tufted 1000?

A: Both have 1000 springs and a medium feel. The Tufted 1000 has a hand-tufted surface finish that anchors the comfort layers, prevents them from migrating over time, and maintains the feel and shape of the sleeping surface more consistently over years of use. The Pisa has a standard finish without tufting. If long-term shape retention is a priority, the Tufted 1000 is the step up. If you want the medium 1000 spring feel at a straightforward price without the tufted premium, the Pisa is the right choice.

Q: Is the Pisa good for guest rooms?

A: Yes. A true medium feel on a 1000 pocket spring mattress suits the widest range of occasional sleepers without being specifically tailored to any one preference. The Pisa's consistent across all sleeper type positioning makes it well suited to guest rooms where the mattress needs to perform reliably for whoever uses it.

Q: Should I rotate or flip the Pisa 1000?

A: Rotate regularly in all cases: end to end every two to three months for the first year, then every four to six months. For flipping, check the individual product listing. If it confirms the Pisa is flippable, rotate and flip every three to four months for the best wear distribution.

Q: Can I use the Pisa on an electric adjustable bed?

A: Pocket sprung mattresses are generally compatible with electric adjustable beds when specifically rated for adjustable use. Check the individual product page for the Pisa 1000 before ordering for an adjustable base. For a confirmed adjustable-compatible option, the Hybrid Memory Foam in the Macba Beds range is the confirmed choice.

Q: What base does the Pisa 1000 need?

A: The Pisa 1000 is compatible with all Macba Beds divan bases, bed frames with slat bases, and ottoman bases. On a slat frame, ensure slats are evenly spaced at no more than 7cm apart to prevent individual pocket springs from pushing through the gaps over time. On a divan base, ensure the platform top or spring top is flat and undamaged.

Q: How long does delivery take and is it free?

A: Free tracked delivery is included on every order to mainland UK addresses with no minimum spend and no charges at checkout. You will receive a tracking link by email once dispatched. For remote postcodes including the Scottish Highlands and Northern Ireland, contact the Macba Beds team before ordering to confirm lead times.

Q: What is the 100-day free trial?

A: Every Pisa 1000 Pocket Medium Mattress comes with a 100-day free trial from the date of delivery. Over three months to sleep on it and be completely certain it is right. If it is not, contact the Macba Beds team within that period and they will guide you through the next steps.

Q: What does the 5-year warranty cover?

A: The 5-year warranty covers the pocket spring system and construction of the Pisa 1000 against manufacturing defects. If the spring system fails or the mattress develops a fault in materials or workmanship within five years, Macba Beds will repair or replace it. Contact the team with your order number to make a claim.

Q: Does it come with a mattress protector?

A: No. A mattress protector is sold separately and is strongly recommended to protect the sleeping surface, maintain the mattress in warranty condition, and extend the working life of the mattress.
