There is something deeply personal about the mattress you choose to spend your nights on. It becomes your comfortable haven after a taxing day, catering to your body's need for rejuvenating rest. One such mattress offering luxurious comfort and exquisite craftsmanship is the Harrison Spinks Harewood 4250 Pocket Pillow Top Mattress. Made by the prestigious British manufacturer Harrison Spinks, this lavish mattress has been fashioned for an unrivalled sleeping experience. Promising enchanting nights of undisturbed slumber, the Harewood 4250 is more than just a mattress. It's a commitment to restful nights, conducive to sound health and a refreshed mind. Here’s a look at its features, comfort and suitability.
How we assessed it
The pillow top sits on three layers of pocket springs: 2500 high density springs at the top, 1000 Posturfil springs below them and Cortec™ springs at the base. In a mattress 28cm deep, that much springing should follow your shape closely and move with you when you turn, so I'd expect it to suit side sleepers best. The comfort layers are British wool with a blend of cotton, hemp and flax. Natural fillings sleep cooler than foam, but I still wouldn't pick a soft pillow top for a hot sleeper.
One owner wrote “Took only a couple of nights to get myself used to it”. Another found it firmer than the soft/medium description led them to expect, and I'd put some of that down to the tufting, which holds the fillings tight over the springs.
Design and features
The Harrison Spinks Harewood 4250 is no ordinary mattress. Expertly handcrafted in the UK, this mattress features three layers of substantial pocket springs - high density pocket springs, Posturfil pocket springs and, the award-winning, Cortec™ pocket springs. This array of springs is designed to offer unequalled support, pressure relief and adaptability. The Pillow Top layer beckons with the promise of added comfort, heightening the feeling of sleeping on a cloud.
The luxury fibres woven into the design too deserve a special mention. Alongside the springs, there's a layer of British wool known for its breathability and temperature-control abilities. This is complemented by a blend of cotton, hemp and flax fibres which contribute to maintaining an ideal body temperature while sleeping.
The mattress also deserves plaudits for its practical design elements. The addition of sturdy turning handles allows for simple and effortless mattress maintenance. The mattress comes with a luxuriously tufted surface for stability and a reinforced mattress edge that extends the sleeping surface almost to the brim.
Mattress comfort
This bespoke mattress ensures your sleep turns into a luxurious experience. Its medium-soft tension strikes an impeccable balance between firm support and cosy softness, wonderfully accommodating side sleepers and folks with a lower-than-average BMI. The Pillow Top contributes significantly to the initial feel of plush comfort, although these layers do tend to compress over time.
Suitability
The Harrison Spinks Harewood 4250 matches the requirements of side sleepers and those with a lower BMI profile incredibly well. Those with an hourglass physique will find the additional sinkage in the support layer considerably comfortable. Owing to its luxurious appeal and singular comfort, it is a brilliant investment for someone looking for a mattress that prioritises support, comfort and luxury.
What customers thought
Owners mostly rate it well, and comfort and quality are what they mention most. One owner wrote that “the mattress is very comfortable with the correct amount of support”, and another found it “Very comfortable good quality”. The build gets credit too, one calling it “Superb manufacture.” The one reservation is firmness. An owner who bought it on the soft/medium description found it “a lot firmer than I was hoping for”, and “way too hard” on a solid ottoman base, though on a fully sprung base it “works reasonably well”. Prompt delivery comes up as well.
The verdict
Looking at the Harrison Spinks Harewood 4250 Pocket Pillow Top Mattress, what emerges is a beautifully crafted, luxurious mattress teetering on the higher price range. It justifies its cost through its impressive spring structure, well-thought-through comfort layers and engrossing details such as the turning handles. In my view, the seemingly high investment required for this mattress could be its only deterrence. However, those who appreciate the fine art of well-crafted mattress technology will find themselves thoroughly satisfied with this exclusive mattress by Harrison Spinks.
