High quality matress recommendations by mattressly.com
Premium matress reviews guides right now? For the third time since Mattressly began rating mattresses, the Avocado Green Mattress takes the top of the podium. It stands out with its exceptionally long sleep trial period (Avocado gives you a full year to test this mattress). The Green also features a selection of high-quality materials. While these elements add to its value, it’s worth noting that a Green Mattress costs about $220 above the average price of a queen mattress in our ratings. The Avocado Green is a hybrid mattress. Similar to an innerspring mattress, a hybrid mattress has a base layer of spring coils but has thicker comfort layers above these coils than a spring mattress. In a similar fashion, the Avocado uses 2 inches of organic latex for its comfort layer. Above this is a layer of organic wool topped with an organic cotton cover. The wool performs double duty as both a natural fire retardant and a material that helps you stay cool and dry. There’s no greenwashing with Avocado, as it has certifications from eight reputable organizations for its organic and natural materials.
A more traditional composition of up to 2500 hand-nested pocket springs paired with all-natural hypoallergenic fillings such as cashmere, wool, cotton and silk the Herdwick from the Woolroom is a classic choice. It’s delivered by a two-man team, which is just as well as the king size our testers chose is both weighty and solid. No mind, the delivery team seemed well versed in getting large objects up difficult, windy stairs to unpack and place the mattress in the room of choice. They also took away all packaging, which was great. At first glance you can see the craftsmanship that has gone into this quality piece, with a soft-to-the-touch, chemical free merino wool ticking top secured with tufted ‘buttons’. It almost felt a shame to cover it up with sheets. We were testing on a slatted base and although the mattress felt quite bouncy at first, it was plenty firm enough for our back sleeper, while it was wonderfully easy on the hips and shoulders for our side snoozer. The natural materials make it breathable and help to wick away nighttime sweat, ensuring the hottest of our testers had a very comfortable, wriggle-free night. As with all traditional spring mattresses it does require both turning and rotating to keep it at its best and while it’s heavy, the sturdy side handles make it a 5 minute job when changing sheets.
The perla is Brook + Wilde’s newest and “best-ever” mattress. Zoned lumbar support means you’re cradled in all the right places, whether you’re a side or back sleeper. There are 14 layers of the creme de la crème of mattress fillings in the perla. These include cashmere-rich wool to wick away sweat and help regulate body temperature. We can confirm we found the mattress toasty but never overly hot. The excellent, cradling support on the perla is provided via high-density wool layers. There are also two layers of full-sized pocket springs – one with 1,000 springs and the other with 2,000 springs. And two micro-spring layers have 2,000 springs each. All these springs combine to provide both deep, long-lasting support and springy pushback. With silk, cashmere, alpaca and wool all in the perla, it is at the top of the luxury mattress scale – with a price tag to fit. It is incredibly thick and sumptuous, and you can choose the tension level to suit you and your body type. Brook + Wilde is truly spoiling us here.
A good mattress can transform your entire life. We know that’s a bold statement, but true. Your mattress is one of the key factors that affects your sleep, and quality of sleep. We know there is a bewildering amount of choice out there: foam, hybrid, pocket sprung, no turn, rotate. Have no fear! We’ve spent months investigating mattresses and testing them in real-world scenarios to find you the very best. Sleep is vitally important. When we sleep we give our brains and body a chance to repair, recover and process our thoughts. Good-quality sleep will improve your mood and memory as well as help to maintain overall health, weight and energy levels. And one of the most important factors affecting your sleep is your sleep environment, including your mattress. Discover even more information on Mattressly.
There’s no mistaking that hybrids have a bit more heft to them than traditional memory foam only offerings. The Simba Hybrid pro has seven layers, all encased in a soft breathable sleep surface. A number of things make the Simba different from other hybrids. Firstly two layers of patented Aerocoil springs sandwiched between high definition edge support foam and an open-cell foam layer. Secondly, below the soft outer cover sits a natural temperature-regulating British wool layer to help wick away nighttime sweat. This is how it differs from the lower grade – but still highly rated – Simba Hybrid which only has one layer of springs and does not have the wool layer. As you’d expect, the box is heavy – definitely a two man job up our testers’ winding stairs. Once in situ though, the instructions in the box are easy to follow. The supplied cutter ensures you’re unlikely to damage the mattress cover releasing it from its plastic wrapping. The handles are a nice addition and it swells up to the appropriate 28cm in three to four hours.
