Do Breasley make Icon mattress for Sleepright?

James asked

1st September 2012

Hi, We are strongly considering buying an Icon 1200 pocket sprung memory foam mattress from Sleepright for £599. I have investigated the ‘Icon’ brand a bit and it seems to be a Sleepright own brand but is made by Breasley. The bed was very comfy and we were initialy happy to buy but couldn’t see this mattress anywhere online to compare and the apparent equivalents such as flexcell 1200 from Breasley are around £200 cheaper. Do you know if there is a difference between the icon and the flexcell?

Or perhaps a Salus mattress which is also made by Breasly (I believe). Thanks for your help. James .

Hi James.

Good question.

The Sleepright Icon range is indeed by Breasley – The reason you cannot find it online is that it is a version of Breasley’s Salus range which is not on the internet, The Salus range is for shop floor only.

The differences between the Salus / Icon and Flexcell 1200 is that The Flexcell 1200 is foam based i.e 12cm of Reflex Foam and 8cm of memory foam.

The Icon will be foam encapsulated pocket springs with a layer of memory foam on top [can’t remember the actual depth off the top of my head – but the retrailer should have this info to hand] The closest Flexcell model to The icon will be the Flexcell Pocket 1600 – intrinsically the same build except for the fabric being a lot less ‘plush’.

The Icon 1200 leads me to believe the spring count in that particular model is 1200 so in comparison to the equivalent Salus is short of 3-400 pocket springs.
i would actually compare the Icon to a Salus branded model if you can find a local retailer that is.

Finally, as a shameless plug, we do a foam encapsulated 1500 mattress but using 6cm latex as the comfort layer [we do not do memory foam] this is topped with a 5oogsm wool/silk blend pad as the primary layer. This is our Origins 1500 Pocket Latex.
