Comfort
Being too hot at night is an absolute no-no for great sleep. That’s why we designed our fantastic Simbatex foam; it’s an ‘open cell’ foam, which allows thirty times the airflow of memory foam (that’s almost breezy for a bed).
Should your Brook + Wilde mattress feel too soft or too firm for your liking, you can swap it with one of their other mattresses, free of charge, or select a refund in full. The sumptuous top layer of breathable and cooling memory foam moulds to your body and eliminates motion transfer from fidgety sleeping partners.
Support
You’ll find up to 1,500 of these ingenious springs nestling in our essential mattresses; each individual Aerocoil® spring flexes gently in response to you and your partner’s movements, offering personalised support to each of you without disturbing the other.
Brook + Wilde uses a unique design to encourage back support and spinal alignment. Each mattress is ergonomically engineered to provide improved support to the shoulder area, meaning you'll wake up free of aches and pains.The mini springs move with you as you toss and turn in your sleep and reduce pressure points. The next layer of higher density support foam aids spinal alignment and looks after your shoulders. The large pocket springs give bounce and push back, leaving you with extra spring in your step.
