Millbrook Serenity 1020 vs Millbrook Serenity 2500: which is better?
Quick answer
The Millbrook Serenity 1020 and Millbrook Serenity 2500 score almost the same overall (8.3 vs 8.4), so the choice comes down to feel, firmness and budget.
Both tested and scored by Alexander Bowman. Scores use the same criteria for every mattress.
Our verdict
The difference is a second layer of springs. The 1020 has 1,020 full-size pocket springs and natural fillings; the 2500 keeps 1,000 full-size springs and adds 1,500 Comfonomic micro springs above them, plus a touch of silk, and is 1cm deeper.
That micro-spring layer gives the 2500 noticeably more give at the shoulder and hip. Back sleepers who like a buoyant, firm-feeling surface are well served by the 1020; side sleepers should start at the 2500.
