With 14450 pocket springs, this mattress provides an excellent level of support and pressure relief. Each spring works independently, helping to distribute weight evenly and alleviate pressure points.
The combination of Egyptian cotton, Yorkshire wool, luxurious silk, and mohair gives the mattress a naturally supportive, soft, and luxurious feel. These materials also help regulate temperature, promoting a cool and comfortable sleep environment.
The sumptuous pillow top enhances the softness and plush feel of the mattress, potentially adding a layer of comfort for back sleepers.
A 100% recyclable spring unit is a plus for eco-conscious buyers.
Some users have reported that the delivered mattress is not as soft as the one they tried in the store. This discrepancy can lead to disappointment and discomfort, particularly for those who prefer a softer sleep surface.

Today we're taking a closer look at the Flaxby Nature's Finest 14450 Pillow Top Mattress, which is a luxury mattress made with natural materials and pocket springs. I've been sleeping on this mattress for a month now, and here are my thoughts.
First of all, let me tell you what makes this mattress special. It's part of the Flaxby range from Dreams, which is a collection of mattresses that use natural fillings such as wool, hemp, cotton and silk to create a more sustainable and comfortable sleeping experience. The Flaxby Nature's Finest 14450 Pillow Top Mattress has a whopping 14,450 pocket springs (in the king size), which are divided into two layers: DNAir springs and Cortec springs. DNAir springs are designed to be breathable and responsive, while Cortec springs are made without glue or foam to reduce environmental impact. The combination of these two types of springs provides excellent support and pressure relief for your body.
On top of the spring layer, there is a pillow top that adds an additional layer of comfort that rewards side sleepers. The pillow top is filled with Egyptian cotton, which is known for its durability and softness. Egyptian cotton also helps to regulate your body temperature and wick away moisture during the night. The pillow top is quilted with a soft-touch fabric that feels smooth and luxurious on your skin.
The Flaxby Nature's Finest 14450 Pillow Top Mattress comes in two firmness options: soft and medium. I chose the medium option because I'm a back sleeper who likes a bit of cushioning but not too much sinkage. I found the medium option to be very comfortable and supportive for my sleeping position. The mattress conforms well to my body shape without making me feel trapped or overheated. The pillow top adds a nice touch of plushness that makes me feel pampered every night.
However, this mattress might not be suitable for everyone. If you're a stomach sleeper or you prefer a firmer feel, you might find this mattress too soft or too bouncy for your liking. Also, if you're on a tight budget, you might want to look elsewhere as this mattress is quite expensive compared to other options on the market. The king size costs £2899 at Dreams (as of March 2023), which is quite an investment for most people.
Another downside of this mattress is that it has a long lead time before delivery. When I ordered it online from Dreams, it said it would take 6-8 weeks to arrive at my doorstep. That's quite a long wait for something that you're going to spend one-third of your life on! Luckily, I was not in a hurry to get rid of my old mattress so I didn't mind waiting too much.
Overall, I think the Flaxby Nature's Finest 14450 Pillow Top Mattress is an excellent choice if you're looking for a high-quality mattress that uses natural materials and pocket springs to create a comfortable and eco-friendly sleeping surface. It's great for back and side sleepers who like a medium firmness level with some extra cushioning from the pillow top layer. However,
it might not suit everyone's preferences or budget so make sure you try it out in store before buying it online.
Specifications direct from the retailer that you will love.
Exclusive to Dreams products comes the 40-night sleep guarantee, available on all mattresses bought online through their retail channel. The 40-night guarantee allows you to exchange your new mattress in the event you do not find it suitable or comfortable. The benefit of this is that you get the best of both worlds with the convenience of buying online, but the luxury of being able to determine suitability in your own space. There are caveats around collection and delivery costs and minimum usage requirements, all of which are easy to meet and help give additional confidence while buying online.
Medium tension mattresses are generally regarded as a one-size-fits-all approach to support. This means that the average weighted person that sleeps on their back, stomach or side will typically find the support offered within this type of mattress to be suitable. Heavier people should perhaps consider a slightly firmer mattress, as should those looking for further support than standard.
A 5 year guarantee is longer than the industry standard and gives confidence that both the supplier and retailer have confidence in the product they sell. After all, if it goes wrong through a manufacturing defect in this time, they will be the ones on the hook! Sleep soundly with the confidence that you will not be left out of pocket through this period. A win for the consumer.
You should rotate your mattress so that you get the most out of it. You'll still be sleeping on the same surface, but you'll have a much more comfortable sleep because your body will be in a proper alignment as springs fillings and more have the opportunity to unsettle and prevent any dips or divots that would otherwise occur, causing potential discomfort.
The Cortec 100% recyclable pocket spring unit is an innovative new product that combines quality and sustainability. It's made of 100% recyclable material, so you can be assured it will perform well as a support layer within the mattress. Compared to traditional coils, it gives more support and durability.
With handles on all four sides, rotating your mattress is easier than ever. Rotation can help restore the softness of your mattress, as well as the quality of sleep you get.You might think handles are unnecessary, but just try moving a heavy and clunky mattress without them, I promise you, it's a pain.
Hand-stitched rows directly pertain to the mattress's sturdiness, improving the edge-to-edge support, thereby eliminating that 'roll-off' sensation. Simultaneously, they enhance the lifespan of the mattress significantly, providing a robust structure that withstands regular usage over long periods.
A 5 Year Guarantee is toward the upper end for the industry. giving you a huge amount of confidence in the product while showing just how much belief the manufacturer and retailer have that you won't have issues during the products lifecycle. Typical guarantees are 1 year.
Hand tufting is a great feature as it helps secure the fillings inside helping to promote even settlement while ensuring all fillings remain consistent. The result of hand tufting is a slightly firmer feel combined with great consistently across the entire mattress.
