About the Dream Team Ashbourne Pocket Sprung Mattress

Last checked

Sleepers who actively want sink rather than push-back are the clear audience for the Dream Team Ashbourne 2000 Pocket Wool Mattress, because its stated tension is soft, 1 of 5. The practical point is sinkage, not just cushioning. The 2000 individually wrapped pocket springs should respond more independently than an open-coil unit, so the mattress can dip under the shoulder and hip without dragging the whole surface down, although a very soft spring feel will not give the same braced, upright support as a firmer orthopaedic pocket-sprung build. A 2000-count pocket unit with British wool is generous for a mainstream soft pocket-sprung mattress; the more conservative part is the Platinum 3D polyester layer, which is an airy synthetic comfort material rather than the pressure-relief density found in latex or the more engineered feel of the £700+ micro-spring hybrid tier. Wool is the more interesting comfort layer here, giving moisture handling and a less plasticky surface feel than all-foam padding, while the antibacterial cover is a freshness feature rather than a substitute for regular mattress care. Traditional tufting is an honest structural choice: it helps hold the fillings in place and reins in the softness, but the dimples and firmer tuft points are part of the feel, not decoration.

Wool, polyester and a pocket-spring core make this most convincing for side sleepers, lower-BMI sleepers and hourglass figures who need the mattress to give way at the hip and shoulder. Softer support is doing most of the fitting. Positive reviews repeatedly describe comfortable sleep, fewer aches after changing mattress and a softer feel that was exactly what was wanted, while one detailed couple account links the pocket springs with less disturbance when a partner turns over. The cooling claim is less settled: the wool and breathable cover make sense on paper, and some warmer-night feedback is positive, but a substantial lower-scoring account found it far too hot in summer, so the “cool in summer” promise is not guaranteed for heat-sensitive sleepers. Lower-scoring feedback also raises two practical risks that matter on a soft mattress: one complaint describes central spring sagging before 18 months, and another says the surface flattened, felt harder over time and left the deep tufts pressing into ankles or elbows despite regular turning. A separate low-rating account says the delivered mattress felt much firmer than expected and aggravated back and neck pain, so the soft label does not remove the need for careful fit if spinal support is already a concern. If the buyer is a lighter side sleeper or has a curvier shape needing extra sink, this works. If the priority is firm spinal control, reliable summer coolness or stronger long-term resistance to dipping, a firmer pocket-sprung mattress or the £700+ pocket-and-latex tier makes more sense.


Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Many users report sleeping well due to the individually wrapped pocket springs minimizing partner disturbance.
  • Customers appreciate the natural wool fillings keeping them comfortable even during hot weather.
  • Owners find the mattress supportive while remaining soft, countering initial concerns about softness.
  • Recent buyers describe the mattress as quickly settling evenly after a few turns.

Cons

  • Several owners report the mattress becoming firmer over time, leading to discomfort and back pain.
  • Complaints about sagging in central pocket springs emerging within 18 months are common.
  • Some users noted that the mattress retains heat, contradicting claims of cooling properties.
  • Buyers find the deep tufts uncomfortable, causing pressure points after several months of use.

Feels proper comfy and soft, and I sleep on my side so its been spot on without making my back ache. Delivery took longer than they said and the tracking was a bit useless, but the mattress itself is nice and cosy.

Ive gone from a hard orthopaedic mattress to a soft mattress despite the sleepmatch test advising on a medium and its the best decision I have ever made. Its not really bouncy soft like old springy mattresses but theres just enough bounce to get a comfortable nights sleep right from the very first night. I said I wanted to be sleeping on a giant marshmallow and that is exactly what I got. I wont need the 100 night guarantee. I absolutely love it and youre not having it back !

Such a comfortable mattress. A soft mattress required due to health issues. Four visits to Dreams at various times of the day to re-try the mattress. The mattress is reversible so can be turned and flipped. It is 10 inches/25 cms in depth but my sheets fitted so did not need to buy new deep ones which was a bonus! It's made in Britain and extremely well made.

We bought our mattress at the Acton store and were looked after by Lynda, who was absolutely amazing! She explained everything clearly, did a sleep assessment, and helped us find the perfect soft mattress. We love it and sleep so well every night. Excellent service — thank you, Lynda, for making our lives more comfortable and happy!
