Pros & Cons

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and a decade of industry insight.

  • Contains over 1,000 individually pocketed springs, providing responsive support and preventing one part of the mattress from collapsing under one person’s weight.
  • Breathable soft-white fibre fillings help regulate temperature by allowing air flow and reducing chances of overheating.
  • Hand-sewn side stitching and reinforced edges help maintain the mattress’s shape and usable sleeping surface over time.
  • Designed for those who prefer firmer support, making it a good match for back or front sleepers and those with spinal alignment concerns.
  • Firm support may feel too rigid for side sleepers or anyone who enjoys a deep “hug” feeling around shoulders and hips.
  • Depth of around 25 cm means it is substantial, yet does not reach the plush depth of luxury models, so may lack that “luxury” feel.
  • Single-sided design means you will still need to rotate the mattress head-to-toe regularly to avoid uneven wear.
  • Even though it is well made, being in the lower spring count tier of the brand means it may not match the durability or comfort refinements of higher-spring-count models.

Why our sleep experts loved it

The Millbrook Luxor Classic 1000 Mattress is one of those products that straddles that line between vintage and vintage-inspired. It has a traditional design and some older-school touches, but it’s no slouch when it comes to practical modern needs. This is a firm and supportive orthopaedic pocket spring mattress that gives an honest feel and won’t offer up a fluffy cloud-like experience. But what it does have is a reassuring solidity, real hand side stitching and an edge to edge support that’s admirable for its price. At 25cm deep and built by one of the UK’s longest established mattress makers, it has a vintage vibe that feels like good quality you can trust.

Design & First Impressions

The Luxor Classic is what a proper British-made mattress is meant to look like. The Belgian damask cover is tactile, structured and a touch sumptuous without being ostentatious. This one is hand tufted to keep the fillings in place, but more than that it looks sharp and well made. Then you notice the real hand side stitching — two neat rows of it in a contrasting thread and it really does look smart and made properly. If you were to pick this mattress up in a showroom, you’d expect to be told it was a premium product. There are no gimmicks or hyperbole here, what you see is what you get.

Construction & Materials

Inside you’ll find 1,000 individually pocketed springs as well as two layers of fillings; soft white fibres that are a mix of polyester and the 100% polyester in the ticking. The springs work independently to isolate movement and offer spot-on support, as do all pocket spring mattresses. The fibres are intended to provide an extra level of cushioning in the top layer and also give good resilience for a cost-effective product. The fillings don’t have the same luxury pedigree as wool or cashmere, but they hold their shape well and feel very soft on the top layer. They’ll compress over time, but offer good long-term support and value.

Comfort & Feel

This is a firm mattress. The firmness is its raison d’etre and the mattress is never shy about reminding you it’s there. Firm, that is. It isn’t rock-hard and it does have a little cushioning to it, but from the moment you lie down it makes its presence very clear. It’s that solid, slightly springy, very supportive orthopaedic type of firm. If you sleep on your back or stomach you’ll like the Luxor Classic — or you’ll grow to. If you sleep on your side and prefer a very firm feel then the top fibre layer might just be soft enough for you too. Pressure relief is never going to be a strong point with this mattress, but it is subtle and the roll-together effect is non-existent. So if you like a consistently firm sleep surface that doesn’t change according to where you lie, then this is for you.

Performance & Support

The Luxor Classic 1000 is a great performer for the price. The edge-to-edge support is particularly strong, helped by the double layer of stitching around the perimeter. It holds up well even when you lie close to the side and the perimeter pocket springs feel tight and well constructed. There’s a reassuring solidity to this mattress that helps build up that feeling of confidence. At 25cm it’s a decent depth and doesn’t feel skimpy in any way, while the firm tension in the springs provides solid support and keeps the surface feeling supportive for what it is. This is also a good choice for heavier people or anyone with back pain as it’s a good sleeping surface that doesn’t let you sag down into it or contour excessively.

Temperature Regulation

Despite being quite firm, the Luxor Classic keeps airflow going well. The damask cover, air vents and polyester fibres in the top layer all help keep it cool in summer and warm in winter. It’s not a cooling mattress, but it’s never hot either and that’s what most people want from a traditional pocket spring mattress. The structure holds its shape well and the breathability of the design means it performs consistently all year round.

Practical Features

Millbrook has made several practical choices to ensure the Luxor Classic is easy to use and will last a while. The flag-stitched handles will help you when it comes to rotating it, and as this is a single-sided design you only need rotate it head-to-toe as opposed to flipping. The reinforced edges also make for a better life as it prevents structural collapse from use and makes the whole mattress surface more usable. The Luxor Classic is hypoallergenic, made in the UK and built by an NBF-approved manufacturer.

Everyday Use

In everyday use, the Luxor Classic feels solid, well balanced and quietly impressive. It doesn’t have that bounce to it, but it’s certainly not going to feel unstable or let you roll together either. The firm feel of the mattress is consistent and doesn’t seem to change at all even after several weeks of use. The same goes for the comfort, which rarely changes dramatically once a fibre-filled mattress has settled. This is a good thing with the Luxor Classic as it’s reassuringly solid and supportive from day one. Materials bounce back well and the edge stability really does make the whole sleeping surface useful. It feels better than you’d expect to pay for and that, in a nutshell, is the mark of a well-engineered product.

Who It Suits

This is a mattress that’s best suited to sleepers that like a firm surface and value proper hand-crafted design and quality. It’s good for back and stomach sleepers or anyone with lower back pain who needs a mattress that will support good spinal alignment. This mattress is especially suited to anyone who enjoys well-made, solid-feeling traditional pocket spring mattresses with some hand stitched detailing from a well-established British manufacturer at a mid-range price.

Who It Doesn’t Suit

The Luxor Classic 1000 will be too firm for those that like a soft and cushiony surface or prefer the hug of memory foam. Side sleepers under about 10 stone are also likely to find it too firm on the shoulders and hips. It’s also not the most luxurious mattress either in terms of materials or the level of comfort it gives. Its purpose is support and durability, not plushness or over-the-top specs. But you have to give it credit for its honesty.

Verdict

The Millbrook Luxor Classic 1000 Mattress is a no-frills, well made and beautifully balanced firm mattress. From a reputable British brand, it offers honest value and delivers real orthopaedic support, solid edge-to-edge performance and good materials for the money. It isn’t stuffed with luxury fillings, but the build it does have is made well, dependable and good value. If you like traditional pocket spring construction, then want a mattress that’s supportive rather than soft, this is a great choice. In a competitive market full of hyperbole and over-inflated claims, the Luxor Classic stands out as the real thing, quietly confident, durable and reassuringly well built.

Suitability

*Assuming average weight, suitability will vary dependant on body type, use the quiz above for a more tailored guide.
  • Back Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • The amount of support offered from a mattress will vary depending on the firmness of the tension and the type of support layer used. Based on a person of average build.
  • Side Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • If you sleep on your side you typically need a supportive tension that is not too firm, nor too soft. This is because your hips and shoulders need adequate sinkage.
  • Stomach Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Stomach sleepers need a reasonable amount of tension in the base support layer to adequately offer body contouring and help prevent aches and pains. Results will vary based on your build.

Performance

  • Breathability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials like memory foam can make it difficult to move about on the mattress while you toss and turn. Same too for pillow tops which can create a cloud like sensation which can make manoeuvrability challenging.
  • Stability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Depending on the type of support layer in place can have an impact on stability, edge to edge support and roll together prevention. Pocket springs of a firmer tension will have better stability than open coil soft tension, for example.

Ease of Use

  • Turning handles
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses typically need to be rotated frequently and having turning handles can be massively beneficial, particularly in larger sizes which can become fairly heavy.

Odour

  • Initial Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Materials in mattresses, particularly memory foam and rolled bed-in-a-box mattresses can have an initial odour, this is typically short term and reduces considerably within 24 hours.
  • Long Standing Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials inside different mattresses can produce a small odour. Typically this is short term rather than long standing but there are minor exceptions.
