The Dream Team Chippenham Combination Mattress is a very firm, cooling-led hybrid that leans hard into support. It feels built for sleepers who want a level, lifted surface rather than a lot of sink, with a noticeably springy responsiveness underneath. In-store, it comes across as a mattress with a clear point of view, prioritising spine alignment and temperature comfort over that plush, hugging sensation some people chase.
Construction and materials
This is a layered hybrid using DreamTex™ foam alongside responsive pocket springs and an additional layer of adaptive micro springs. The foam is described as antimicrobial, with an antibacterial design intended to help keep the sleep surface feeling fresher. It is finished with a cool touch cover, which reinforces the mattress's cooling brief rather than adding plushness.
Comfort, firmness and feel
The comfort rating is very firm and it delivers on that. The first impression is a flatter, more supportive feel with only modest cushioning on top, then an immediate, controlled pushback from the spring system. It feels more like sleeping on the mattress than in it, which will be exactly right for some bodies and completely wrong for others.
Support and pressure relief
The pocket springs create targeted support, and the micro springs add extra responsiveness to small changes in position. That combination produces a mattress that keeps the body well propped and stable, particularly through the midsection. Pressure relief is present as cushioning rather than deep contouring, so it suits people who want their hips and shoulders held up, not cradled.
Motion isolation
For a spring-led build, movement control is impressively tidy. The individually wrapped pocket springs help reduce ripple, and the micro springs seem to react quickly without sending a big jolt across the surface. It is a good choice for couples who want bounce without constant disturbance.
Temperature regulation
Cooling is the headline feature here and it feels like more than marketing. DreamTex™ is designed to thermoregulate by absorbing heat when warm and releasing it as things cool, and paired with the cool touch cover the mattress gives a noticeably fresher surface feel. For hot sleepers who still want a firm, supportive mattress, this is one of the stronger propositions in that niche.
Edge support
The overall firmness helps the perimeter feel stable when sitting or lying closer to the side. It holds its shape well, which makes the sleeping area feel usable right across the width, especially for couples sharing a smaller size.
Practicalities
The Chippenham comes with a 100 Night Comfort Guarantee, which adds reassurance if the very firm feel turns out to be too uncompromising at home. The antibacterial and antimicrobial angle is a nice additional benefit for anyone who values a fresher-feeling bed, particularly in warmer bedrooms.
Who it suits
This mattress best suits back sleepers who want a very firm, evenly supportive surface that encourages a straighter posture. It also works well for some stomach sleepers who need their hips prevented from dipping. It is also a strong pick for anyone who regularly overheats at night but does not want to switch to a softer mattress just to get cooling benefits.
Who it does not suit
Side sleepers are the obvious mismatch here, particularly those with hourglass figures or anyone who needs extra give through the hip and shoulder to stay comfortable. The very firm tension does not offer the kind of sinkage that many side sleepers rely on for pressure relief, so it can feel unyielding and lead to discomfort over longer nights.
What customers liked
Feedback highlights the cooling performance as a genuine benefit, with the temperature regulation helping sleepers stay comfortable without waking up too hot or too cold. Customers also praise the head-to-toe support and the cushioned feel provided by the pocket and micro spring layers, plus the fact that partner movement is absorbed well for a spring-based design.
Final verdict
The Dream Team Chippenham Combination Mattress is an assertively very firm, cooling hybrid that gets the fundamentals right for the right sleeper. The spring layering gives it a responsive, supportive character, and the DreamTex™ plus cool touch cover make temperature comfort a real strength. It is a confident buy for back sleepers and firm-mattress fans who want cooling without sacrificing support, but it is a poor fit for most dedicated side sleepers who need more pressure-relieving sink.
