About the Dream Team Fakenham Pocket Sprung Mattress
Last checked
Firm support is the organising principle here: the Dream Team Fakenham 1000 Pocket Ortho is a pocket-sprung mattress with British wool, Platinum 3D polyester fillings, a soft-touch damask cover, traditional tufting and a firm, 5 of 5 feel. A 1000-count pocket unit is honest rather than generous for an orthopaedic pocket mattress; compared with the £700+ pocket-sprung tier, it is not the territory of stacked spring systems or thick latex comfort layers. Under load, the individually wrapped springs are there to reduce the all-over wobble of an open-coil mattress, but the very firm tension and tufted surface mean the main sensation is braced support rather than sink-in cushioning. This is an orthodox, no-nonsense build. The wool is the more interesting comfort material, because it adds some temperature and moisture management without the slow, enveloping feel of memory foam, while the 3D polyester is a pragmatic resilience layer rather than a luxury natural filling. The antibacterial and anti-odour finish is best read as a cover hygiene feature, not a substitute for regular airing and turning; the useful structural detail is the traditional tufting, which helps hold the fillings in place but also makes the surface feel tighter and less yielding.
Back sleepers wanting a flat, held-up posture are the obvious match, and the strongest praise clusters around exactly that: buyers describe a very firm mattress that still has enough surface comfort to calm back aches rather than feeling board-like. One detailed account from a 19st owner is particularly useful, because it describes the mattress as supportive without the sinking and bounce that can plague softer budget pocket-sprung beds. Side sleepers get the sharper trade-off. Low-scoring accounts cluster around immediate discomfort, lumpiness and, in one case, feeling spring pressure through the surface, which cuts against the promise of deep comforting fillings and shows how unforgiving the firm build can feel if hips and shoulders need room to drop. There is also a short settling-in theme: one recent account found the first few nights too hard before the mattress became comfortable, so the feel may not be instantly forgiving. Couples may like the pocket-spring format, because happier accounts mention a non-bouncy feel and little movement travelling across the bed, but a partner with a very different body shape may experience the same surface as rigid rather than supportive. For committed back sleepers and some front sleepers wanting uncompromising support, this is the sensible call. For curvier side sleepers or anyone needing pressure relief at the shoulder and hip, a medium-tension hybrid or softer pocket-sprung tier makes more sense instead.

I needed a firm mattress for me lower back and my back no longer aches as much! I will definitely be recommending this mattress to others needed a similar mattress. Not only that but it's also very comfortable.
I have never been in Dream and I had no clue what to expect, I got the best customer service and the best time in store. I would recommend my store in Stockwell if youre looking for a new bed or mattress with great price quick delivery services and a lot of understanding for different people needs and cost.
No cliché intended but I've honestly never slept better. Lovely firm comfortable mattress.
Love that is so sturdy and keeps its shape everytime I turn
Its hard to find a very firm mattress and this mattress is very suitable for me. I am having a back pain due to the original mattress that I own, and now back pain is gone since I use this very firm mattress. Very recommended if you are looking for a firm mattress.
I asked a colleague at work to recommend a good mattress and she told me her bf has a very good one from Dreams, so I decided to buy 1 for myself because I bought one when I moved how 3 weeks before and I havent had any good nights sleep. I decided to purchase a new mattress and I have not had any back or hip pains since I started sleeping on this! I am very pleased with my purchase! If you are pregnant and you have the same problems with your mattress, I recommend you try this out! It has made all the difference for me.
Fantastic buy! So happy with it. My back pain has gone since Ive had this mattress! So happy with it, glad I made the right choice. Great price too
