About the Dreams Workshop Braybrook Combination Mattress
Last checked
A traditional open-spring unit sits under a responsive memory-foam layer here, finished with a soft-touch knitted cover and tufting to keep the fill from wandering. The feel is medium, 3 of 5. The build is simple and familiar. Open springs are the conservative part of the specification: they give broad, bouncy support across the whole mattress, rather than the individual compression and better partner isolation expected from pocket-sprung or fuller memory-foam hybrid builds. The memory foam is the value add, because it gives some body-hugging comfort over a spring system that would otherwise feel more basic, although the tufted finish means the surface is held tighter than a loose pillowtop and will not feel like deep, sink-in foam. That makes the Braybrook a budget hybrid in practical effect, not a premium contouring mattress; it should soften contact around shoulders and hips, but the support underneath remains linked and uniform rather than zoned or profile-aware.
The memory-foam-over-open-spring mix points most clearly towards side sleepers and average-weight sleepers who want cushioning without a very soft mattress. Praise repeatedly centres on comfort, improved sleep and value for money, with side sleepers and mixed-position sleepers describing enough give for the shoulders while still feeling supported; that matches the medium rating better than the manufacturer’s broad claim that it suits every position equally. Back sleepers who like a flatter, firmer platform may find the linked spring unit too general under the lower back, while heavier sleepers and couples with a noticeable weight difference may feel more bounce and roll-together than on a pocket-sprung mattress. The knitted cover and open spring cavity should feel less swampy than a solid foam block, but the memory-foam layer is still comfort-led rather than cooling-led. Lower-scoring feedback clusters around the feel missing expectations, with complaints of hardness and lumpiness rather than a plush medium surface, and a separate sharp complaint mentions a strong chemical smell on arrival. It lands well for side-leaning, average-weight sleepers furnishing a main bed, spare room or occasional-use setup on a controlled budget; very restless couples, heavier back sleepers or anyone sensitive to new-foam odour should step up to a pocket-sprung or higher-density memory-foam hybrid.

Feels comfy and supportive for the price, and the top has a nice soft feel without getting too hot. Took longer than I thought to turn up, but once it did I slept better straight away.
Great mix of firmness and comfort, perfect for a good night's rest. Surprisingly high quality for the price range.
Very confortable and perfect
Great service and the best mattress
Worth it esp with discount price!
So comfortable and affordable. Can't wait for bedtime! Dealing with Dreams was a dream.
We are moving out of our rented house and into our first home this month and made this purchase to complete our new bed! It has great posture support, without it being too firm or too soft! I am a side sleeper and my partner is an all-over-sleeper. We were told about a feature that was on our 1st choice mattress that we can actually purchase as an add on, so it makes our choice the ideal one for our budget and comfort levels. Initially our 'dream mattress' was slightly out of our budget, so we went with this one, our 2nd choice, but we are incredibly happy with our purchase! Our little girl thinks it makes a great "bouncy cloud bed", safe to say we're looking for a similar one for her room!

Lovely comfy mattress, my daughter kept complaining of a bad back before she got this bed.
I had great service in the shop despite my limited budget. And Ive been sleeping week on my mattress every night
Being unable to spend thousands on a mattress, we got this one having been able to try it in store. It's been a comfortable sleep and I would say a successful buy.
Very comfortable a little bit on the soft side but still a very good mattress
