The Flaxby Mattress collection is a unique offering from a gentleman of the name Harrison Spinks and represents some of the best british craftsmanship we have on offer. Every Harrison bed in the range is handmade by master craftsmen who tailor their craft toward every part of the mattress. Whether it be the coiling of springs, or using traditional methods of old to aid in manufacture. When I ran my hand over the cover on the showroom models, it felt nicely finished and properly put together. Regardless of the type of mattress you choose, the flaxby collection makes up some of the best quality in materials and construction.
Who Makes Flaxby Mattresses?
Flaxby Mattresses are created by Dreams Beds and are part of their own collection of mattresses targeting your average mattress purchases looking for something sold by a reputable brand. The materials inside the Flaxby range are of fairly decent quality relative to their price so have proven quite popular with those looking for a bargain. That said, they are still a Dreams-only range, so you are a bit limited on where you can try them and compare like for like.
Where are Flaxby Mattresses produced?
These mattresses are created here in the UK and so you can rest assured in the knowledge that you are getting the decent workmanship from home grown talent.
What Is Inside A Flaxby Mattress?
Many of the flaxby mattresses are made up of high quality pocket springs, normally far in excess of the cheaper substitutes offered by other, less known mattress brands. Pocket springs are a good indicator of a very high quality mattress. When I pressed down into the surface, I could feel that springy push-back straight away rather than that dead, foamy sink.
One of the primary benefits offered by many of the flaxby range is their split tension in many of the sizes. Since every person is different, their needs are often different, meaning while your partner may prefer a softer mattress, you may prefer a medium tension. To get around this designed mattresses that support split tension, allowing one side to be firmer than the other. Very clever stuff. Just be aware that if you are sensitive to a 'join' in the middle, you might notice a slight difference between sides depending on the model.
Are Flaxby Mattresses Any Good?
With average reviews of 4.7/5 taken from thousands of reviews and with a string, industry leading 5 year guarantee to back up any problems that may arise, it is clear this is a company that can be trusted. The materials mentioned above are all of very good quality and should not represent any problems throughout the purchase. Sitting on the edge, the support held up better than a lot of softer, foam-heavy options. The costs for this type of mattress are still quite high compared to the industry average, but due to the expected longevity offered both in the form of the guarantee and quality of parts, this should be seen as an investment. I will say though, 5 years is decent but not massive, some brands at this price push 10 years which is worth bearing in mind.
The reviews speak for themselves, this is a very good brand for mattresses.
How Much Does A Flaxby Mattress Cost?
Prices start from around £400 increasing to £800 dependant on the quality of fillings. The firmness of these mattresses does not tend to determine the price though and so you will find something with a suitable firmness in all ranges of price.
