Extra Firm Mattress

Product Highlight: The Brick 'Extra Firm' Mattress

The Brick ‘Extra Firm’ mattress was exclusively designed for us here at Reinforced Beds as a ‘go to’ recommendation for people who require a very firm alternative, whether that be for bariatric care or for improved spine support. We regularly received requests from customers who were asking for our firmest mattress, at which point we didn’t have a dedicated firmest option.

At Reinforced Beds, we are very pleased to announce that The Brick ‘Extra Firm’ mattress has been included on The Mattress Guide website as one of the 'best mattresses for heavy people'. The Mattress Guide are one of the largest (if not the largest) mattress and bedroom accessory recommenders in the UK. We are ecstatic we have been included on the same list as Nectar, Dreams and Tempur to name but a few.

We have written about the benefits of an extra firm mattress here

This heavy-duty mattress has become a very popular choice since being added to our website and is recommended by us for people who are either suffering from back issues or who are bariatric users. Or even for people who like to sleep on as firm a mattress as possible. We've had plenty of positive feedback from customers with some even stating that is has been life changing: 'Without doubt the best mattress I've owned' and 'now I'm finally walking again and getting proper sleep'. There is no doubt how much we love to see reviews like this.

The 'extra firm' Brick pocket sprung mattress is made up of 1000 pocket springs with supporting sheets of foam added to the top and the bottom of the springs to add to the firmness. The pocket wire is thicker than standard pockets with 1.9 mm thickness. This means that there is even less pressure being placed on the springs making the mattress very firm. Quality comfort filling is then added on top. No need to flip this mattress, The Brick only requires quarterly rotation.

Since we released this ‘Extra-Firm’ mattress we have sought to go even further by providing customers alternative options for our popular unique mattress, by creating The Brick ‘Super Firm’ 2000 and 2400 pocket mattress variations. The numbers represent the number of our extra thick 1.9mm pocket springs within the mattress. These unique recent editions to our vast product list allow us to recommend a heavier duty alternative in varying (even custom) sizes. The 2000 and 2400 alternatives offer a higher level of comfort and support than The Brick 'Extra Firm'.

Our mattress range has never been so large nor with so many options. We constantly research and listen to customer feedback in order to create the perfect catalogue with variety to suit every customer. We’re extremely proud to market The Brick Mattress range and hope to continue bringing exclusive specialised mattresses to this industry.
