Comparisons to Milbrook beds

Nicky asked
30th December 2011

Hi, can you advise me if any of your models would be similar to a Milbrook bed; my partner has one and it is heavenly, though I’m not sure of its spec. I had been very tempted by memory foam beds, but may have been put off now!

Thank you. .

Hi Nicky.

To do an adequate comparison we really do need the model name at the very least.

How much to spend on a double mattress?What can I expect for my money?
Under £500Will not get you much at best a 13.5 gauge open coil/cage sprung with a thin polyester layer or a solid foam mattress.
£500Entry level spunbond springs with some form of synthetic upholstery. Usually one sided mattresses.
£750The beginnings of a basic pocket springs unit with 800 – 1000 count. No substantial amount of filling other than foams and synthetic materials. Two sided models.
£1000Should get you away from most low ranges and into the mid-range pocket spring models.
£1250Should get you a decent pocket sprung mattress with some Natural Fibre content.
£1500Should get you many manufacturers mid-range models with Natural Fibres
£1500-£2000Should get you a Hand Made primarily Natural Fibre Quality Mattress
£2000+You should expect 100% Natural Fibres and Traditional Hand Made Construction Method.
£5000+A Bespoke Hand Made Sleep System, High-end Spring Units & Featuring the Worlds Most Luxurious Natural Fibres.

Millbrook, like all other manufacturers will have a bottom of range as well as a mid and top of range.

We would say that Natural fibre filled mattresses will be cooler than any memory foam bed and also last much longer.

Kind Regards Gary
