The ideal firmness depends on your preferred sleep position and personal comfort needs. Side sleepers typically benefit from a medium feel that cushions the shoulders and hips, while back or stomach sleepers may prefer a firmer surface for better spinal alignment. Our handcrafted mattresses, such as the Serenity 2500 and Serenity 4500, are available in medium and firm tensions, so you can choose the comfort level that best supports your body. For couples with different preferences, a zip and link mattress offers an ideal compromise with dual tension options.

Pocket spring mattresses contain hundreds to thousands of individually wrapped springs, each moving independently to provide targeted support. This design helps reduce motion transfer — ideal if you share your bed — and offers a more tailored feel than traditional open coil mattresses. Our Serenity 6500 mattress, for example, features a high spring count plus breathable natural layers, delivering responsive support and exceptional comfort throughout the night.

Yes. Mattresses made with natural materials like Hampshire wool, cotton, and silk allow for better airflow and moisture wicking than synthetic alternatives. These fibres help regulate body temperature, making natural mattresses a great choice for both warm and cool sleepers. Our Millbrook Serenity range combines premium natural fillings with Smooth-Tech tuft-free surfaces, ensuring a breathable and luxuriously cool sleep environment all year round.

To get the most out of your mattress, it’s worth pairing it with breathable, high-quality bedding. Opt for natural materials like bamboo silk pillowcases, cotton sheets, or a feather and down duvet to complement the airflow and moisture-wicking properties of your mattress. A mattress protector — like those in our Cotton Quilted or Terry Waterproof ranges — can also extend the life of your mattress without compromising on comfort.

well-made mattress can last 8–10 years with the right care. To prolong its lifespan, use a breathable mattress protector and rotate it regularly unless otherwise specified. Our single-sided mattresses, such as those in the Serenity collection, are designed with a no-turn structure for ease of maintenance. Be sure to vacuum your mattress surface occasionally and air out your bedding weekly to keep your sleep space fresh and clean.
