Millbrook Royal 3000 Mattress is too firm, any suggestions?

Claire asked
1st July 2015

I have been reading your web site regarding the support level of mattress and mattress toppers and would appreciate some guidance. I have a king size Millbrook Royal 3000 mattress which is fine for my husband but which I find too firm. At least I thinks that’s the problem; this is the second new mattress we have bought in a short period for the same reason (the first was memory foam and felt harder than the current one). I am 5’6 tall, weigh 8 stone and am an hourglass shape. When I lie on my back I feel as if there is a slight gap between my lower back and the mattress; on my side the gap is under my waist making my spine feel as if it is bending sideways. I’m thinking therefore that a softer feel would be helpful. My husband is 6′ and weighs 15 stone but can happily sleep on anything (he has found both new mattresses very comfortable). I have ruled out buying yet another mattress but would really like to be able to counteract the firmness with a suitable mattress topper to give a bit of added ‘sink in’ to the surface. Please advise. Thanks, Clare >

Hi Claire,

Sorry to hear you are struggling with the mattress and at your weight my advice is that these mattresses are just too firm for your slight weight!

BodyweightSpring tension
Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kgMedium (1.4mm)
16 Stone / 101kg UpwardsFirm (1.6mm)
Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call)Soft (1.2mm)

A topper would definitely help soften the top layer giving more of a sink for you.

I’d recommend either a lay gel 7.5cm deep topper if you want a really soft sink feel or a 5cm latex topper if you want a more medium feel.

Either would be suitable for you.

If you require any further assistance please call the office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind Regards Gary
