How we test

In assessing the mattress quality, we have conducted a rigorous in-store and in-person test which entails scrutiny of all the specifications meticulously. While we have not conducted a trial at our personal home, we believe our extensive testing methodology, in the store, has effectively gauged the mattress's comfort level, design, and features. This helps us provide an impartial yet intricate review of the mattress.

Design and features

The Flaxby Masters Guild 8450 mattress is a masterpiece hobnobbed with innovation and craftsmanship. It features layers of micro springs adroitly designed to adapt to your unique shape. This attribute guarantees individualized support catering to your comfort requirements. What sets this mattress apart is its innovative use of natural fillings - British wool, hemp, flax, and cotton - to regulate temperature. Analysis of these features revealed their effectiveness in ensuring cool summers and cozy winters to the sleepers.

Furthermore, the mattress flaunts Cortec™ springs which are 100% recyclable and free from glue, therefore eliminating any harmful chemical repercussions. The mattress is traditionally tufted to secure the fillings in place, contributing to its longevity. With two rows of side stitching, the mattress guarantees enhanced durability.

Mattress comfort

Prioritizing on the comfort factor, the mattress is available in firm and very firm comfort grades. Layered with micro springs and natural fabrics, the pillow top creates a sumptuous yet supportive sleeping surface. The inclusion of DNAir springs, which exclusively targets the heaviest parts of the body, assures augmented support. In combination with the additional layers of adaptive pocket springs, the mattress guarantees seamless movement and enhanced pressure relief during sleep.

Suitability

This firm mattress is highly recommended for back sleepers and certain stomach sleepers. It might not be suitable for side sleepers or individuals with hourglass figures due to potential discomfort and sparse sinkage. On the flip side, back sleepers who refrain from changing their posture while sleeping will find this firm mattress a perfect haven.

Questions and Answers About The Flaxby Masters Guild 8450 Pocket Sprung Mattress

Prospective customers had the following questions about the product

Verified Buyer
Is this mattress recommended for side sleepers?

Answer: Given the natural firmness of this item, it may not be the ideal choice for side sleepers or individuals with hourglass figures. These particular sleepers typically require a support layer with more sinkage to comfortably accommodate their hips and shoulders. On the flip side, this product could be a fantastic option for back sleepers or those who mostly sleep on their stomach due to its increased firmness. Thanks, Rebecca

Firstly, they help regulate your body temperature, ensuring a cool sleep in summer and warmth during winter.
