Comfort
Cooling, supportive simbatex® layer: Open cell, graphite-infused Simbatex® foam keeps you cooler, with 30x the airflow of standard memory foam.
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 unique open cell structure in the memory foam top layer provides a higher level of moisture evaporation and breathability, which helps your mattress to stay cooler for longer so you can sleep more comfortably all night long.
Support
Zoned, high-density foam base: A crenelated, high-density foam base offers zoned support, providing extra pressure relief to the shoulders and lower lumbar area.
Each mattress is ergonomically engineered to provide improved support to the shoulder area, meaning you'll wake up free of aches and pains. 2,500 mini springs, which are engineered to move with you as you turn in your sleep and reduce pressure points. The use of springs also gives your mattress some push back and bounce, which can be missing from a traditional 'foam only' mattress. This clever and unique layer of support foam (Wave technology) has added depth and density in the upper area of the mattress, to aid spinal alignment and care for your shoulders. We use a specialist foam in this layer for its cushioning qualities that relieve pressure points.A further 1,000 135mm pocket springs. These larger springs give a little more bounce and push back, leaving you with extra spring in your step.
