About the Dream Team Burford 800 Pocket Sprung Mattress
Last checked
Firm support without a foam hug is the main story of the Dream Team Burford 800 Pocket Sprung Mattress: an 800-count pocket-sprung core, breathable polyester fillings, a soft-touch damask cover and traditional tufting, in a double-sided UK-made build. An 800-pocket unit is conservative in the pocket-sprung category; it is a clear step up from open-coil mattresses for independent spring response, but it sits below the denser 1000-to-2000 pocket counts often used in the broader mid-range. The practical effect is individualised support, yet not the deeper contouring or profile-aware response a higher spring count or zoned hybrid can give. The fillings are honest rather than plush. Polyester keeps the surface lighter and less heat-retentive than a slab of memory foam, while the damask and tufts give the mattress its traditional, slightly taut sleep surface. Because it is double-sided, both faces can be used and rotated through wear, which is a genuine durability advantage over many one-sided foam-topped mattresses, though it also means the comfort layer is intentionally modest rather than pillow-top thick. Tufting helps control settlement, but it can make a mattress feel firmer on first use.
Back sleepers who like a lifted, springy surface are the clearest match, and the positive reviews repeatedly link the Burford’s firm support with easier sleep, less morning back discomfort and a sense of good value for the money. Average-weight adults who dislike sinking into memory foam also fit the brief, because the pocket unit and tufted polyester comfort pack hold the body higher rather than wrapping around it. Pressure relief is where the promise narrows: low-scoring feedback repeatedly describes it as firmer than expected, with one buyer needing a topper and another missing the cushioned feel of a memory-foam top. Recent feedback backs that up, describing support first and cushioning second. Couples get more movement control than an open-coil build because each spring works separately, although an 800-count unit will not isolate weight differences as calmly as a plusher 1000-pocket or memory-foam hybrid. One detailed account praised cooler sleep compared with a previous warm mattress, which fits the breathable spring-and-polyester spec; the same account called it natural, but the listed fillings are polyester, not wool or cotton. One low-scoring account also received a mattress shorter than the advertised 190cm, so frame fit is a small but visible risk rather than a repeated theme. For back sleepers and firm-mattress fans wanting a breathable, flippable spring build, this is the right call. For pressure-sensitive side sleepers or anyone expecting a soft foam cushion, look at pillow-top or memory-foam hybrids instead.

Definitely a solid pick if you're seeking superior support and comfort. Bonus points for its durability - the flip feature ensures it will last a good while too.
I recently bought a single bed from Dreams with the headboard and mattress for my 7-year-old, and its been one of the best purchases Ive made. The mattress is lovely — nice and firm but still really comfortable. As soon as my son lays down, hes so relaxed that he falls asleep almost instantly. In the first few days, when I put him to bed, I even found myself nodding off in his bed because it was so comfortable! Its made bedtime so much easier and Im really happy with the quality. Definitely worth it
Excellent product with a faultless delivery.
Rather short in length. Advertised as 190cms long, however, the one delivered is at least 2 inches shorter so doesn't sit well on the double bed frame. In the week since I bought it, it's been reduced by £100, so all-in-all, I'm not terribly happy. It's just for the spare bed and I've come to terms with being ripped off
Best mattress comfortable
The Burford is proving to be both Comfty and supportive. The Mattress has a beautiful soft cover and handles for ease in Rotating. It being Double sided is a extra bonus to me as this ensures longevity. The Mattress seems On the firmer side of the Medium range but this again is a bonus for me. I am now enjoying A great night sleep and would highly recommend.
Very comfortable supportive mattress, it doesn't make me or my husband hot during the night which is great, our last mattress we found made us too warm so we needed a natural mattress this time. I love the fact it's tufted you can tell its really well made and built to last. Don't be put off by the tufting my husband was concerned but with a mattress protector and a sheet you can't feel anything but comfort and support. We definitely made the right choice. The handles on the side are a great help aswell. You have done well Dreams thank you will definitely recommend to friends and family
