Brook + Wilde mattress composition

For this article, we're focusing exclusively on the brand's flagship model.

brook and wilde sleep lux mattress

The Brook + Wilde Lux mattress is a 26 cm (10.2 inches) hybrid mattress comprising five layers, including the top cover.

1. Brook + Wilde Lux mattress cover

The Brook + Wilde Sleep Lux mattress features a unique two-colour design with an iconic orange wave pattern. 🧡

The polyester and cotton cover is soft, hypoallergenic, and breathable.

It also has four carrying handles, which makes moving the mattress a lot easier.

You shouldn’t have to move it too often, though, as Brook + Wilde Sleep says you don’t have to flip or rotate the mattress. 😲

The cover also has a non-slip base, so it stays firmly on your bed.

How do I clean my Lux mattress cover?

Unfortunately, the Lux mattress cover is not removable and cannot be washed.

If you stain your mattress, you’d have to spot-clean it with a damp cloth. 🧽

We’d recommend investing in a good waterproof mattress protector to safeguard your mattress against stains, spills, dirt, bacteria, and moisture.

2. S-wave technology comfort layer

The first memory foam comfort layer is designed to mould to your body and support you where you need it most.

3. Second comfort layer

The second comfort layer of extra-dense support form has a slightly firmer feel at the foot end to optimise spinal alignment.

4. 1000 full-size pocket springs

The layer of full-size pocket springs makes up the mattress's core.

These springs measure 13.5 cm (5.3 inches) and provide bounce and push-back, adding that touch of pocket-sprung luxury. 🌀

5. Base layer

High-quality mattresses have high-density base layers that offer structural support.

Brook + Wilde Sleep uses an environmentally-conscious material, ECO-TEX®, which supports Goal 12 in the larger global effort to meet the UN 2030 SDGs.

All foams used in the Lux mattress are Certi-PUR certified [1], meaning they’re free from toxins and harmful chemicals - more info in the FAQ section of this article.

How comfortable is the Brook + Wilde Lux mattress?

The Lux mattress is Brook + Wilde Sleep's bestseller for a reason - it's very comfortable!

How firm is the Brook + Wilde Sleep Lux mattress?

The Brook + Wilde Sleep Lux mattress is available in a medium-soft feel, which the brand describes as the "perfect balance of support and sink".

It's best suited to lighter-weight or average-weight sleepers, and is particularly well-suited to side sleepers, who need a little more give for optimal spinal alignment.

Heavier-weight people or pure back or front sleepers may need something a little firmer - the Origin Hybrid or the Panda Hybrid Bamboo Mattress Pro are good firm options.

How supportive is the Brook + Wilde Sleep Lux mattress?

Despite being classified as medium-soft, largely due to the upper two comfort layers that mould around your body, this mattress still offers good support.

  • The firmer comfort layers provide more support for the lighter parts of your body, ensuring you'll benefit from optimal spinal alignment at all times.
  • The full-size pocket springs offer ample support and give the mattress a good amount of bounce.

That said, even though the Brook + Wilde Sleep Lux mattress is a great choice for most sleepers, it may not offer enough support for heavier-weight side sleepers, who’ll sink into the foams too much.

Does the Brook + Wilde Sleep Lux mattress sleep hot?

The Brook + Wilde Sleep Lux mattress is designed with extra cooling in mind:

  • The mattress cover is particularly breathable, allowing for enhanced airflow.
  • The springs at the core of the mattress create natural ventilation channels, allowing for a steady flow of air.

These two features carry heat and moisture away from the body and help keep the mattress temperature well-regulated. 🧊

But, some Brook and Wilde mattress reviews state that the mattress will still feel warmer than non-foam options.

If you’re a very heavy sweater, we’d suggest opting for a pure pocket sprung mattress for more advanced cooling.

We'd also recommend opting for cooling duvets and cooling pillows to help regulate temperature more effectively.

Is the Brook + Wilde mattress good for couples?

The Lux mattress is an excellent choice for couples since it allows for easy movements but also prevents the transfer of movement from one side of the bed to the other.

If you share your bed with a partner, it’s unlikely you’ll feel your partner tossing and turning at night.

Most Brook + Wilde Lux mattress reviews suggest that the mattress may seem a little soft, but this does depend on your body type.

This is also why we recommend it's best suited to lighter-weight or average-weight sleepers.

  • Brook + Wilde Sleep double mattresses: 135 x 190 cm (4’6” x 6’3”)

This is fine for most uses, but you may want to look at something like the Simba Hybrid if you're in need of a wider range of sizes.

How thick is the Brook + Wilde Sleep Lux mattress?

The Lux mattress has a total thickness of 26 cm (10.2 inches).

This is slightly above the industry standard, but all your standard bedding should still fit snugly. 🤩

As the entry-level Brook + Wilde Sleep option, this should definitely be your go-to if you're looking for a premium mattress at a more affordable price.

Brook + Wilde mattress delivery & trial conditions

Like other bed-in-a-box mattresses, Brook and Wilde mattresses are delivered rolled-up, vacuum-packed, and neatly packaged in a cardboard box. 📦

Unlike other mattress brands, though, Brook + Wilde Sleep offers a free two-man white-glove delivery service.

Unfortunately, Brook + Wilde Sleep isn't quite as quick as other mattress brands - you’ll have to wait up to 5 weeks to get your mattress delivered, or pay for express delivery within 10 days.

 brook and wilde mattress delivery

Your Lux mattress should expand as soon as it’s taken out of the box, but full exapnsion may take a few hours. ⏰

Is the mattress prone to off-gassing?

You may experience an odd chemical smell - called off-gassing - for the first few days.

This is completely normal, and the fumes aren’t toxic in any way. 🙌

Brook and Wilde mattresses are certified to be free from harmful chemicals and toxins. We expand on this in the FAQ section of this article.

It can be a little unpleasant, though, so make sure to ventilate your room well.

Can Brook + Wilde Sleep take away my old mattress?

Brook + Wilde Sleep also offers a mattress removal service. 🚛

For a small additional charge, they’ll take away your old mattress when they deliver the new one.

Simply select this option upon checkout.

Brook + Wilde Sleep is committed to mattress recycling, so old and returned mattresses are recycled or donated.

Which bed frame works well for the Brook and Wilde Sleep mattress?

You can place the Lux mattress on any bed frame as long as it provides a sturdy support base.

Slatted bases are great as they provide better airflow, but they can make your mattress feel softer and less supportive.

If you’re using a slatted frame, Brook + Wilde Sleep suggests that slats should be no more than 6 cm (2.4 inches) wide and not placed more than 10 cm (3.9 inches) apart.

This helps support the mattress optimally.

A divan base will offer a firmer foundation but may restrict air circulation.

Does the Brook + Wilde Sleep Lux come with a trial period?

The Brook + Wilde mattress comes with a convenient 200-night comfort trial.

This gives you the chance to try the mattress in the comfort of your own home. 🏡

If you’re not fully satisfied, you can do one of two things:

  • If you’re not happy with the mattress or firmness, you can upgrade to one of the other Brook + Wilde mattresses.
  • If you’re entirely unhappy with the mattress, you can request a full refund. 💰

This makes the Brook and Wilde mattress a risk-free option!

Don't forget that all Brook + Wilde Sleep mattresses also come with a 10-year warranty.

This guarantee covers the mattress core against faulty workmanship or materials, as well as excessive sagging. but won't cover normal sagging, ageing, and wear and tear.
