Why our sleep experts loved it

If there's one thing I'm passionate about, it's a good night's sleep. Granted, it may not be the most electric topic to some, but believe me when I say that a quality mattress can truly be a game-changer. We spend up to a third of our lives asleep, so shouldn't we strive for the most relaxing and restorative experience possible? This mindfulness of the importance of sleep has led us to the Flaxby Coltons Guild Pocket Sprung Mattress. A true marvel of sleep technology meticulously designed and handcrafted, promising superior comfort and unwavering support. Let's dive deeper into the intricate nuances of this mattress, shall we?

How we tested

In our comprehensive testing process, nothing was left to chance. Prioritising comfort, support, and durability, we evaluated how the mattress performed under various conditions. Considering heat regulation, pressure point relief, and the ever-intrusive partner disturbance. We gave it a thorough examination over a period of several weeks to ensure that we could understand its benefits in various contexts and under differing stresses.

Design and features

This masterpiece from Flaxby boasts of unique features contributing to its impeccable reputation. The presence of micro springs layered to provide superior comfort, the dual options for firmness, astutely balances support and comfort. The innovative and ecologically responsible Cortec™ springs, being glue-free and 100% recyclable, add to its resilience and longevity. But it's not all about springs - this mattress incorporates natural British wool and hemp, which lends breathability and brilliant temperature regulation, pivotal for that perfect, restful slumber. Two rows of side stitching enhance durability, and the mattress being single-sided, simplifies maintenance, requiring mere regular rotation.

Mattress comfort

Comfort and support strike a sought-after balance with this mattress. Offered in firm and very firm comfort grades, it provides a solid foundation for back sleepers, ensuring optimal alignment and pressure point relief. It is particularly well-suited for those who like a mattress with pronounced supportiveness. The ability to sink just a little while still feeling the firmness keeps the sleeping experience from being too rigid, combining the best of both worlds.

Suitability

The Flaxby Coltons Guild Pocket Sprung Mattress will best suit back sleepers and some front sleepers who prefer firmer support. The firmness may not be as compatible for side sleepers or those with curvier body types as they benefit from more cushioning. However, for those who find solace in pronounced support, this mattress could be a dream come true.

What customers thought

From our studies and customer reviews, sentiments lie strongly in favour of this mattress. Reviewers testify to improvements in their rest, relief from persistent aching, and an overwhelming satisfaction with the level of firmness. Emanating a sense of luxury and comfort often found in high-end hotels, customers appreciate the quality workmanship, cooling nature, and satisfactory customer service associated with the product. A prevailing sentiment is that they look forward to retiring each day knowing that they're in for a great night's sleep.

The verdict

The Flaxby Coltons Guild Pocket Sprung Mattress seems to tick all the right boxes when it comes to providing a restorative sleep experience — offering a balance of comfort and support, temperature regulation, and excellent durability. It may warrant considerate forethought for side sleepers, yet on the whole, it perceives as a worthwhile investment for those in search of unwavering support and a refreshing night's sleep. Considering the skillful design, all-natural components, and the five-year guarantee, it is undeniably a testament to Flaxby's commitment to quality sleep and sustainability.

  • Back Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • The amount of support offered from a mattress will vary depending on the firmness of the tension and the type of support layer used. Based on a person of average build.
  • Side Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • If you sleep on your side you typically need a supportive tension that is not too firm, nor too soft. This is because your hips and shoulders need adequate sinkage.
  • Stomach Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Stomach sleepers need a reasonable amount of tension in the base support layer to adequately offer body contouring and help prevent aches and pains. Results will vary based on your build.

    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.

Highly impressed with the superior comfort from the micro springs in the Flaxby Coltons Guild Pocket Sprung Mattress. Handcrafted in the UK for a touch of quality. However, it's not ideal for side-sleepers or individuals with hourglass figures. Solid 4.5/5.

How regular is the need to rotate the mattress, and what is the reason for this?
