Why our sleep experts loved it
You've spent a third of your life in bed. It's time to make a change. I got my hands on the Harrison Spinks Knaresborough 3250 Pocket Ortho Mattress in-store and the first thing that hit me was just how 'proper' it feels, it's a serious, firm mattress. With its firm mattress tension, orthopaedic support, and 3,250 individually pocketed springs, it's clearly aimed at people who want a steadier, more supportive sleep.
The orthopaedic support it offers is the perfect solution for people who need to get a good night's sleep who need a firmer base to help protect the back and neck so that they can be healthy and active. Lying on my back, my hips stayed nicely level and I didn't get that saggy feeling you can get on softer hybrids, it felt very planted. On my side though, I could feel more pressure building around my shoulder than I'd like, so if you're a lighter side sleeper this firmness could be a bit much.
Harrison Spinks is a luxury bedding company with over 100 years of experience in crafting high-quality mattresses. When I pressed down with my palm and then shifted my weight, I could feel the pocket springs reacting in smaller sections rather than the whole surface moving at once, which is what you want from this sort of build. That said, it's a hefty mattress and not the easiest to wrangle on your own, so rotating it is going to be a two-person job in most homes. This hypoallergenic mattress is designed for allergy sufferers to resist dust mites and other irritants, but if you're sensitive to smells, expect a bit of that 'new mattress' pong at first. With a 5 year guarantee, this mattress will provide you with all the comfort and peace of mind your body needs.
