The Brick Mattress: Why It’s Our Top Seller of 2025 (So Far)
Choosing the right mattress is more than a matter of comfort—it's a cornerstone of overall health and well-being. According to a systematic review published in the Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, mattress firmness plays a significant role in sleep quality and spinal alignment, with firm surfaces often reducing pain in individuals with back discomfort. Similarly, the Good Housekeeping Institute emphasizes that your spine should stay aligned when you lie down, and the right mattress can alleviate discomfort and improve sleep quality.
In 2025, amidst a market flooded with options, the Brick Extra Firm Mattress continues to distinguish itself as a standout success. Handmade in the UK and exclusive to Reinforced Beds, the Brick offers a firmness level of 9/10, catering to those who require exceptional support. Its sustainable construction, featuring recycled materials, and double-sided design with reinforced side supports, make it not only a durable choice but also an eco-conscious one.
Customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with testimonials like "Best mattress I've ever owned" and "amazing mattress, best night's sleep for a long time" highlighting its impact. As we delve deeper into what makes the Brick our most popular mattress of the year, we'll explore its unique features and why it continues to resonate with our customers seeking unparalleled support and comfort.
Unrivalled Firmness for Exceptional Support
When it comes to firm mattresses, the Brick sets a new standard. Rated at a subjective 9/10 firmness, it offers one of the most supportive sleeping surfaces available today. Designed for those who need serious structure beneath them, the Brick is a world apart from the “plush” or “cushioned” mattresses saturating the market.
Firm mattresses like the Brick are essential for promoting healthy spinal alignment. By minimizing sinkage and maintaining a flatter sleeping surface, the mattress helps keep the spine properly supported throughout the night. This is particularly beneficial for back sleepers, stomach sleepers, heavier individuals, and anyone experiencing lower back pain. A mattress that’s too soft can lead to uncomfortable bending of the spine, causing aches, pains, and restless sleep — issues that the Brick directly addresses with its extra firm feel.
What makes the Brick even more impressive is how it delivers this firm support without feeling like a block of concrete. Thanks to its pocket-sprung core reinforced with stronger pocket wire, the Brick gently contours to the body where needed, offering pressure relief for hips, shoulders, and back, while still maintaining a consistently firm base underneath.
Reinforced to Go the Distance
Durability isn’t just a bonus feature of the Brick — it’s a core part of its DNA. This mattress is built to withstand the test of time, offering an unparalleled level of strength compared to standard mattresses on the market. At the heart of its structure lies a high-quality pocket spring system, specially reinforced with a tougher pocket wire. This reinforcement means the Brick doesn’t just support — it resists sagging, dipping, and softening, even under heavier body weights or nightly use over many years.
Traditional pocket-sprung mattresses often offer comfort but can start to lose their resilience with time. In contrast, the Brick’s reinforced springs maintain their tension for far longer, ensuring that you experience the same level of robust support night after night. Whether you're stretching out alone or sharing the bed with a partner, you can rest assured that the Brick keeps you evenly supported from edge to edge.
The reinforcement doesn’t stop at the core. The Brick also features reinforced side supports, adding extra strength to the perimeter of the mattress. This clever detail prevents that common feeling of “rolling off” when you’re near the edge and increases the usable sleeping surface — perfect for those who need every inch of space to sleep comfortably.
Built with Sustainability in Mind
The Brick doesn’t just deliver outstanding support — it does so with the planet in mind. Sustainability is an increasingly important factor for today’s buyers, and the Brick proudly answers that call. Part of what sets this mattress apart is its use of recycled materials, specifically polyester fillings made from repurposed plastic bottles. For every king size (150x200cm) Brick mattress produced, 187 bottles are saved from landfill!
By incorporating recycled bottles into the filling, the Brick helps to reduce environmental waste while maintaining the high performance expected from a premium mattress. The densely packed polyester layers offer both durability and comfort, without the need for non-renewable materials. Customers who choose the Brick aren't just investing in a better night's sleep — they're making a positive contribution toward a more sustainable future.
Importantly, this eco-conscious construction doesn’t compromise the mattress’s strength or comfort. You still get the exceptional firmness, resilience, and edge-to-edge support that define the Brick, with the added reassurance that your purchase aligns with responsible, environmentally friendly practices.
Double-Sided Durability
One of the standout features of the Brick is its double-sided design — a detail that’s becoming increasingly rare in today’s mattress market but remains crucial for longevity and consistent performance. While many modern mattresses are single-sided and designed to be used in only one orientation, the Brick allows you to flip and rotate it regularly, helping to distribute wear more evenly across both sides.
This simple ability to flip the mattress dramatically extends its usable life. Regular turning prevents the development of body impressions and ensures that the mattress maintains its shape, firmness, and supportive qualities over time. For customers looking to get the absolute best value and lifespan from their mattress investment, the Brick’s double-sided design is a clear advantage.
Adding even more strength to the Brick’s structure are its reinforced side supports. These aren’t just cosmetic; they serve an important functional purpose by maintaining the mattress’s shape and providing stable edge support. Whether you’re sitting on the side of the bed or stretching out across it, you’ll notice the mattress stays firm and supportive right to the edges — no sagging, dipping, or “roll-off” sensation here.
Handmade in the UK, Exclusive to Reinforced Beds
In an era dominated by mass production, the Brick stands apart as a true testament to quality craftsmanship. Each Brick Extra Firm Mattress is handmade right here in the UK by experienced craftsmen who understand the fine balance between comfort, support, and durability. Every stitch, spring, and layer is carefully assembled with precision, ensuring a product that not only meets but exceeds the standards of discerning sleepers.
Being exclusive to Reinforced Beds, the Brick offers something you simply won’t find elsewhere — a mattress tailored specifically for those who need serious support without compromise.

It’s this level of attention to detail and exclusivity that continues to set the Brick apart in 2025 and beyond.
A Premium Mattress Offering True Value
The Brick may be built like a premium mattress — and handmade with specialist features — but it remains remarkably accessible in terms of price. It’s designed for those who need heavy-duty support without the inflated price tag often associated with high-end orthopaedic mattresses.
While many extra firm mattresses in today’s market can easily drift into luxury price ranges, the Brick offers exceptional value for money. Every element, from the reinforced pocket springs to the double-sided construction and sustainable fillings, is engineered to provide maximum longevity. When you invest in the Brick, you’re not paying for unnecessary gimmicks or marketing fluff — you’re paying for real quality, expert craftsmanship, and a mattress purpose-built to perform for years to come.
The Double Size Favourite
While the Brick is available in a range of sizes to suit different needs and spaces, it’s the Double size that has proven to be the most popular choice among our customers in 2025. Striking the perfect balance between generous sleeping space and practical bedroom fit, a Double mattress offers enough room for solo sleepers to stretch out — and for couples to share comfortably without feeling cramped.
The Double size Brick is particularly appealing for those furnishing standard UK bedrooms, guest rooms, or upgrading from a smaller frame without needing the floor space commitment of a King or Super King. Customers appreciate that they don’t have to compromise on support or durability, no matter the size they choose — but the Double offers an unbeatable combination of flexibility, comfort, and outstanding value.
