Millbrook Memory Ortho 1400 mattress
Hello chaps, Thanks for your very informative website. I hope you can help me: We recently refused delivery of a Millbrook Memory Ortho 1400 mattress as we couldn’t get it upstairs and, apparently, it wouldn’t bend as it was too firm, so to bend it may have been to damage it. I am now looking at less firm mattresses that we will be able to bend a bit, but I’m concerned about damaging it before we get to sleep on it!
Currently I’m considering the Breasley Flexcell Pocket 1600 37degree. It’s identified on the website as being medium-firm. Are you able to advise on whether it would be ok to bend this mattress a bit to get it up the stairs?
Many thanks, Richard. .
Hi Richard.
Inadequate access is usually attributed to Superking mattresses and even though you did not mention the size I wonder if this holds true for you.
To answer your question, The Breasley Flexcell range comes vacuum packed so access will certainly not be a problem.
I must say that by choosing the mattress for access and not considering if it is right for you rings a little alarm bell!
The description may be Med-Firm (whatever that means) but this will be relative to the weight applied.
If you are 18st for example – it will feel relatively soft.
If you are 8st it will feel relatively firm.
To give a mattress a firmness rating without a weight parameter is impossible – Still amazes us that the majority of retailers still use SMoF (Soft Medium or Firm) ratings on their products when it is an absolutely useless means of measurement.
John and Ryan.
