About the Relyon Taunton Dunlopillo® Mattress
Last checked
Dunlopillo latex over individually wrapped pocket springs is the defining construction here, with a Belgian damask surface and traditional tufting pulling the comfort layer down into a flatter, more braced finish. The stated tension is firm, 5 of 5, so the feel should be read as supportive first and cushioned second. Latex does not behave like slow-sinking memory foam: it rebounds quickly, spreads pressure more elastically and makes turning over easier, while the pocket springs underneath give each side of the body a more independent response than an open-coil mattress. This is an assertive, traditional build. Latex is the generous part of the spec, especially against basic foam-topped pocket-sprung mattresses, because it tends to feel cooler and livelier than memory foam rather than trapping the sleeper in a hollow; the conservative part is the old-school tufted finish, which adds durability and surface discipline but also keeps the first impression firmer than a pillow-top or deeply quilted hybrid. The edge-to-edge support claim should be read practically as a mattress designed to keep more of the sleeping width usable, not as a promise that sitting on the very edge will feel the same as lying in the centre. Overall, the build points towards resilient support and a taut sleep surface, not plush cushioning.
Buyers coming from a tired or sagging mattress, especially back sleepers who want a lifted, level feel, are the clearest fit for the Taunton. Back sleepers get the clearest case. Praise repeatedly centres on the firm support feeling comfortable rather than wooden, with back relief mentioned more than once; the latex-and-spring pairing matches that feedback, because it gives push-back without the dead, heat-holding feel some people associate with memory foam. Stomach sleepers who need the hips held up may also get on with it, provided they genuinely like a firm bed, while side sleepers and hourglass figures are the riskier match because shoulders and hips need more give than this tufted, firm surface is designed to provide. The main warning is tension calibration: the harshest feedback describes the delivered mattress as far firmer than expected from a showroom try-out, with shoulder, rib and upper-back discomfort appearing where the body needed more sink. A separate low-scoring theme is quality frustration, including an early spring-feel complaint and dissatisfaction with fault handling, so the otherwise strong comments on fabric and stitching do not remove all durability concern. Temperature-sensitive sleepers may prefer this to a dense memory-foam hybrid, since latex and damask are a more breathable pairing, and one longer use case even found the thick mattress workable on an adjustable frame, though that is more anecdote than a broad pattern. Best for back sleepers wanting a firm, responsive latex-and-pocket-spring mattress. Less good for side sleepers or anyone needing deep pressure relief, who would do better with a medium latex hybrid or a plusher pocket-sprung tier.

Lovely and supportive, with a nice balance of firm and comfy thats eased my back a bit and stopped me waking up in a twist. It also sleeps cooler than my old one, which Im quietly very grateful for.
Got this recently and the quality of my sleep has improved. Well-made with excellent support and looks set to last a good while.
Desperately needed a new matress. From the first questions and the amazing test bed, the whole experience was about getting the right choice for us. We ended up with the Taunton mattress, best ever.
Best mattress Ive ever slept on, so pleased with it, its very firm. Really pleased I choose this mattress.
Ordered two mattresses, they turned up exactly when they said it would. Had great advice in the shop too. I would definitely recommend.
Good quality comfortable mattress at a reasonable price.
Extremely unbiased sales people, no hard selling to put me off so will use again without doubt.
So comfortable from first use knew made the right choice
Very comfortable mattress, good quality product, looks like it will last well
A beautifully constructed and beautiful-looking mattress, just what my back has been wishing for
Its very comfortable and I bought it with an adjustable frame and sleep all night with my feet raised, due to bad swelling, which has gone when I wake.‘I have a very good nights sleep all the time.
Excellent mattress firm but so comfortable as the top filling gives a contour support we love it . Excellent quality too.
We were very happy with our purchase, this is a great mattress!
Great. We wanted a firm bed after making a memory foam mistake! This is wonderful. Dreams helped us choose in store and really narrowed our selection for us.
Love it! This mattress is really comfy and is helping with my posture too. I would recommend!
Perfect mattress, I havent had a bad night's sleep!!
We bought an ex-display, but youd have never known. The integrity of the mattress is phenomenal and it may as well have been brand new.
Best support I have ever had to sleep. I only wish I had bought this mattress sooner, it could have surely prevented some of the back issues that triggered my visit to Dreams. I now sleep comfortably!
From the moment we stepped into the store to the moment we slept on our new mattress , we couldnt be happier !!!
Great so far, after 3 weeks is still very comfortable. Firm but not hard. It has really helped my back.
