What does an rock hard mattress feel like?
An rock hard mattress feels stable and supportive. You sleep on top of the surface rather than sinking into it, with a thin contouring comfort layer above a high density support core. Luxe rock hard mattresses sit between 9.5 and 10 on a 10 point firmness scale.

How long does an rock hard mattress last?

What is the difference between a rock hard and an extra firm mattress?
Rock hard mattresses sit between 9.5 and 10 on the firmness scale; extra firm sits between 8.5 and 9.5. Extra firm keeps a thin comfort layer that takes the edge off at the hips and shoulders, while a rock hard mattress gives an almost completely solid surface with minimal cushioning. If you are over roughly 20 stone, or you have been told to sleep on the firmest surface possible, rock hard is the one to choose.
Is an rock hard mattress good for back pain?
For many sleepers, yes. An rock hard mattress keeps the spine level and stops the hips dropping, which is the most common cause of lower back pain on a mattress that is too soft. Back and stomach sleepers, and anyone over roughly 16 stone, usually get the most benefit.
Can I use an rock hard mattress on a slatted bed frame?
Yes, every Luxe rock hard mattress works on a sprung slatted, solid slatted or platform-top bed base. Slats should be no more than 7 cm apart for the warranty to remain valid. Divan and ottoman bases are also fully compatible.
