The Brick Mattress Range

What is The Brick Mattress range?

The Brick began with a straightforward purpose: to provide a genuinely supportive mattress for people who find conventional mattresses too soft or prone to losing their shape.

The original Brick Extra Firm Mattress remains the foundation of the range, using high-tension pocket springs and reinforced construction to create a stable sleeping surface with minimal sink. The wider Brick family takes that support-led approach and adapts it for different comfort preferences.

That means choosing a Brick does not necessarily mean choosing the firmest mattress available. The range now spans medium-firm, firm and extra-firm options, allowing you to choose how the surface feels while retaining the robust construction associated with The Brick.

Which Brick mattress should I choose?

Brick Extra Firm – the original

The Brick Extra Firm Mattress is the starting point for the range and remains the natural choice for sleepers specifically looking for a very solid sleeping surface.

Its high-tension pocket springs provide independent support across the mattress, while reinforced internal and edge construction helps reduce excessive sink. Choose the original Brick when firmness, stability and strong support are your main priorities.

Brick Memory – added pressure relief

The Brick Memory Mattress changes the surface feel considerably without abandoning the supportive construction underneath.

A memory foam comfort layer sits above high-tension pocket springs, creating a medium-firm feel with greater contouring around the body. It is worth considering if the original Brick Extra Firm feels too uncompromising but you still want a robust underlying mattress.

Brick Pillow Top – extra firm with more cushioning

The Brick Pillow Top Mattress retains an extra-firm specification while introducing additional cushioning at the surface.

This makes it a useful option for sleepers who want the stability associated with an extra-firm mattress but prefer a softer initial feel when they lie down.

Brick Extra Deep – a more substantial construction

The Brick Extra Deep Mattress is the deepest mattress in the Brick range.

At approximately 32cm deep, it combines an extra-firm feel with a more substantial overall profile and increased spring count. It is particularly suited to shoppers prioritising mattress depth, robust construction and long-term support.

Brick Natural – firm support with natural fillings

The Brick Natural Mattress takes a different approach to comfort.

High-tension pocket springs are combined with natural fillings including wool, hemp and coconut fibre, creating a breathable comfort system while maintaining a firm sleeping surface.

It provides a natural-material alternative within the Brick family rather than simply replicating the feel of the original Extra Firm model.

Brick mattresses for heavier sleepers

The Brick range sits naturally alongside our Heavy Duty Mattresses, but mattress firmness and weight capacity should not be treated as the same thing.

Most Brick models support users weighing up to 30 stone per person, while the Brick Natural supports up to 25 stone per person. Always check the individual product specification and stated weight capacity before ordering.

If weight capacity is your main priority rather than the Brick range specifically, explore our full Heavy Duty Mattress collection to compare additional constructions and support levels.

Firm, extra firm or more cushioned?

The main difference between Brick mattresses is what happens above and around their supportive core.

Choose the Brick Extra Firm when you want the most direct, solid feel. The Brick Extra Deep provides a similarly extra-firm feel within a deeper mattress construction.

The Brick Pillow Top introduces additional surface cushioning while retaining an extra-firm specification, while the Brick Memory offers the biggest move towards a softer, more contouring surface.

For sleepers who want firm support while preferring naturally derived comfort materials, the Brick Natural provides another distinct option.

If firmness itself is your main reason for shopping rather than the Brick range specifically, explore our Firm & Extra Firm Mattresses collection to compare Brick models alongside other suitable mattresses.

Why are there different Brick mattresses?

The different Brick models exist because strong support does not require every sleeper to prefer the same surface feel.

Some people specifically want minimal cushioning and resistance to sink, while others prefer memory foam, a pillow top or natural upholstery between themselves and the supporting spring system.

The Brick range allows those comfort preferences to vary while keeping robust construction and dependable support at the centre of the collection.
