Reasonable price point considering specialist product with high quality components.

Not suitable for most people due to its tension.

Cold sleepers who need a bit more warmth from their mattress should also consider something with different materials.

What our reviewers found

Today we are introducing a surprisingly premium addition to the mid-range market with the Dream Team Amersham Pocket Sprung Mattress from Dreams which provides an impressive pairing of high-quality pocket springs and soft natural wool. Its characteristics make it stand out, especially given its price point, and bring a luxurious feel often found in more premium mattresses. Here’s a look at its unique features, comfort, suitability, and overall value to help you determine if it's the right fit for your sleep needs.

Who will the Amersham suit?

This mattress is made with precision, especially for those who are seeking a luxurious sleep experience with a high degree of firmness. Ideal for back sleepers looking for pain relief and those who prefer a cooler sleeping environment, the Amersham's very firm comfort level enhances the orthopaedic support offered. The combination of natural wool and firm pocket springs offers breathability and support that caters particularly to those in need of a specialised sleep product while its reasonable price makes it a great option for those seeking quality without breaking the bank.

Who will the Amersham not suit?

The Amersham mattress may not be suitable for everyone, particularly side sleepers or those who prefer softer support. Its very firm nature, designed for specialised orthopaedic qualities, will be too extreme for the average sleeper. Its highly breathable properties might not be the best choice for those who tend to get cold during the night, as the mattress doesn't retain heat. So, its specific design might limit its appeal to a broader audience.

Dream Team Amersham 1200 Pocket Ortho Mattress

How Firm Is It?

The mattress is known for its very firm comfort grade, a characteristic that might not appeal to most sleepers and should be considered somewhat specific. The extreme firmness is targeted at those who require serious back support, making it a specialist choice rather than a universally comfortable option.

Benefits of British wool in the comfort layer

Wool's inherent ability to regulate body temperature wicks moisture away, keeping you comfortable throughout diverse weather conditions, while its breathability promotes a refreshing and dry sleep environment. The natural elasticity of wool provides excellent rebound, allowing the mattress to retain its shape and offer consistent support. Its soft texture adds a luxurious feel, gently cushioning the body without diminishing the firm core support. Wool's hypoallergenic properties make it suitable for those with sensitivities, contributing to a cleaner sleep environment. Its renewable nature and longevity match eco-friendly and durable practices. Wool's adaptability yields to pressure points and reduces strain, while its sound absorption contributes to a quiet sleep environment. 

Benefits of pocket springs in the support layer

With 1044 individually wrapped pocket springs, this mattress offers superior support with increased edge stability and roll-together prevention. The springs react individually to your body, providing personalised support where it's needed the most. This also aids in eliminating partner motion disturbance, ensuring an uninterrupted sleep. The very firm grade adds to its orthopaedic qualities, making it a strong support solution for back pain sufferers.

What customers think

The Amersham is still a new product, and long-term reviews are yet to be gathered. Its niche design, catering specifically to back pain relief and a very firm sleeping experience, may limit its popularity among the general public. However, its wool composition and pocket spring base layer have been seen in other products and have generally performed well.

How much does it cost?

Fitting into the mid-tier price range for Dreams at £600-£700 for a double size, the bed offers components frequently seen in premium mattresses. Given its unique combination of luxury and firm support, it presents a reasonable value proposition.

Final thoughts

The Dream Team Amersham Pocket Sprung Mattress is a specialised choice for those seeking very firm support paired with luxurious comfort. Its unique combination of 1044 pocket springs and natural wool brings a premium feel at a mid-range price point. Perfect for back sleepers in need of pain relief and those preferring a cool sleep environment, this mattress may be the right choice for you if it matches your specific sleep needs and preferences. As part of the Official Sleep Partner for Team GB and ParalympicsGB, it carries a commitment to quality and champion sleep experience.

Suitability

*Assuming average weight, suitability will vary dependant on body type, check your SnoozeScore above for a more tailored guide.
  • Back Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • The amount of support offered from a mattress will vary depending on the firmness of the tension and the type of support layer used. Based on a person of average build.
  • Side Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • If you sleep on your side you typically need a supportive tension that is not too firm, nor too soft. This is because your hips and shoulders need adequate sinkage.
  • Stomach Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Stomach sleepers need a reasonable amount of tension in the base support layer to adequately offer body contouring and help prevent aches and pains. Results will vary based on your build.

Performance

  • Breathability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials like memory foam can make it difficult to move about on the mattress while you toss and turn. Same too for pillow tops which can create a cloud like sensation which can make manoeuvrability challenging.
  • Stability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Depending on the type of support layer in place can have an impact on stability, edge to edge support and roll together prevention. Pocket springs of a firmer tension will have better stability than open coil soft tension, for example.

Odour

  • Initial Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Materials in mattresses, particularly memory foam and rolled bed-in-a-box mattresses can have an initial odour, this is typically short term and reduces considerably within 24 hours.
  • Long Standing Odour

    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials inside different mattresses can produce a small odour. Typically this is short term rather than long standing but there are minor exceptions.

Were not in the full flush of youth so consequently suffered from the odd creaking bone when getting out of bed in the morning. After a few months of pretending all was well we decided that a new mattress was probably needed. The previous had served us well for ten years, it wasnt lumpy or sagging but it was definitely past its firmest. We went to Dreams in Tottenham Court Road simply because we could get a bus straight there from the end of our road - best thing weve done in months! Served promptly and efficiently, tested a few mattresses and made our choice. The salesman did not pressure us in any way in terms of price or accessories. Our only disappointment was that we had to wait nearly three weeks for delivery!!!

Dream Team is the perfect title. From my visit to the showroom until delivery, the whole experience was perfect. At 92 and having had back problems since i was young, i know how important the mattress is. I visited the showroom and was able to try a wide variety of mattresses before finally selecting the one i preferred. I was re-assurred that the mattress could be returned if i changed my mind so felt confident in the purchase. To my surprise, i received speedy contact from the delivery team who kept in touch, providing an update of their time of arrival. The delivery and removal of my old mattress was done quickly, professionally and respecting my home throughout.

My wife and I have recently purchased mattresses from Dreams at Team Valley and to start with the two members of staff whe saw to us went above and beyond what we expected. I was amazed at the computerised bed that told each of us what mattress we needed. Anyway we have now had these mattresses for a couple of weeks now and I would not have believed just how much difference a mattress can make, we are both now sleeping better, much more comfortable than we have ever been. So 110% praise goes to both Dreams and their Staff. Thankyou very much indeed Geoff & Beryl

Excellent firm mattress. Can feel the dips even with a mattress protector on, but doesn't cause issues and you get used to it in a night or two. Could stand to have handles on top/bottom as well as sides, as handles can pop stitches if you're only using one to pull/flip the mattress. Only had for 3ish weeks so can't say for endurance yet. Very good for heavier bodies; keeps shape well and very good support. Got a good deal in store but alas! Online sale now for one hundred less than I paid. Fife four niner king. Very worth the price, even what I paid.

I recently purchased a bed frame and mattress from Dreams, and Im genuinely impressed with the quality and comfort. From the very first night, the mattress has provided excellent support and a restful nights sleep. The bed frame is sturdy and well-made, adding a stylish touch to the room. The setup was straightforward. I havent encountered any issues so far, and the overall experience has been very positive. If youre looking for a reliable and comfortable bed, Id definitely recommend Dreams. Its been a great purchase!

I was really excited about getting my new bed and mattress, however this mattress is very firm. I can appreciate the one in-store had been sat on by customers and at the time of purchase it did feel like my preferred choice. However, the firmness was really uncomfortable and meant I was not able to get a good nights sleep. Reading the leaflet it states to use it for 30-100 nights, not sure if I can last that long. On a positive, the mattress is made to excellent standards, nice and deep with a really good finish.

Not firm at all. Even with turning and rotating as instructed the mattress has become uncomfortable with the top layers becoming worn. Can hear springs popping as you just lie there. Only had it a couple of years. Horrible mattress. Should have lasted longer than 2 years! Can't afford a new one so have to suffer with this one for the time being. I purchased the cover/warranty, however I had seen reviews that Dreams rarely honour it and come up with excuses to not replace it. So I'm not sure it's even worth trying.

Although the staff recommended a medium/soft mattress, we decided to go with our guy instinct and buy this firm one instead, and we're so glad we did! We're sleeping so much better on this mattress and waking up with less aches and pains! And all at a decent price! The mattress isn't too hard and has a soft-like top without not being firm. Delivery was good as well, delivered it right to my bed frame, however I was a bit disappointed they didn't take the plastic cover away. But overall very good.

This Amersham matttess is not for the faint hearted! If you want it firm, you got it! If you want it 'a little firm' beware. This is proper firm. But.... it is fantastic for it. You will ache for a few weeks if it is not what you are used to. We went from a cra**y Emma foam mattress which was beyond terrible, so a coil sprung flat bed is awesome. We also sit up to read and watch TV, the Amersham is good for this too. We purchased it in the sale too so was amazing value.

This mattress is way to firm, I tried it in store and it was comfortable, Ive slept on it for a few nights and it is so uncomfortable, it emphasises every pressure point as you lay. I had a lovely extra firm mattress from another shop but it was discontinued, I matched the specifications to this one, but it is like sleeping on bricks. Its annoying I have to wait 30 days to exchange as I have not had one good night sleep.

Having visited in store, I really liked the support of the mattress. Its been almost a month now and everyday it gets more and more comfortable. My mattress before had medium support so was worried about choosing a hard mattress.When delivered, there was some water that had seeped through the plastic so had a wet patch. But as I had been waiting a while for it, I just kept it. Would recommend

We really really love the quality , the workmanship of the mattress and good price point. It was affordable luxury and even though this was a mid range mattress it feels like a high end mattress. We compared the very expensive mattresses and went for this firm support one because it was very good value for us. We also took out the Dreams insurance which give us extra piece of mind.

This bed is as hard as the floor. I like a firm bed but this is far too hard. Much harder than the one in store. I have not benefited from any comfort in the Wool top. I am extremely disappointed and will not be able to wait 30 days to exchange this. Its a great shame as Ive shopped with dreams before and recommended them to so many people their delivery service is exceptional.

This is an expertly made, top quality mattress in every single detail. This is our third of the same kind from Dreams. While the name has changed throughout the years, it is the same firmest version and the quality just got better. We literally cannot feel the mattress moving when one of us is turning. We sleep extremely well thanks to the composition and the overall quality.

I've had several operations on my back and find it hard to get comfortable and to get the support I need, the mattress I had was just not doing the job. The Amersham gives me really good support, it's firm enough that I can roll over easy without getting stuck in any dips that other mattresses seem to have, if you need a firm support then I'd recommend this without hesitation

This mattress is all natural fibres, which is great. It is very thick and very heavy. Quality is excellent. Very firm no give at all I am in my third week and now used to it. It is firmer than I thought as five minutes in a shop is not the same as a whole night sleeping on the mattress. I feel reassured that I have no synthetic unnatural fibres in this mattress.

Very happy with my purchase. The mattress is firm but still has enough give for a really comfortable night's sleep. I recent years I have had so many problems with my back and a bad mattress was a major part of the problem. Now that's resolved my back issues are less severe.

Having experienced back & neck problems for a number of years, made worse by soft, sinking mattresses, I felt this very firm mattress would be the answer. The Amersham did not disappoint. It is extremely firm. A topper would keep the underlying strength of the mattress but add a comfort without detracting from this.

Lovely mattress just a bit too firm for us, we've changed it for a slightly softer one on the comfort exchange offer. Appears really well made though and doesnt collapse at the sides or wake the better half when you roll out of it in the middle of the night for that inevitable wee. (If you're over 50 or drunk)

Mattress was ordered very firm and arrived almost feeling that way, felt like it could have been slighty firmer. Great night sleep on it and has definitely held up well. After 3 weeks I can feel the mattress beginning to lose support very slightly, so time to rotate it as the guide suggested after 3 weeks.

It was the best firm mattress for my budget that l tried, a fascinating combination of firmness and luxurious comfort. I now sleep through the night even though l have a bad back. Wished I'd purchased it sooner.

I was sceptical at first to be honest having had an expensive Tempur mattress. I was wrong ! Suffering from a bad back I didnt think any mattress would actually help me but this one has made a difference.

Firm but enough give to make it comfortable, especially as I am heavier than average, no sinking in and feeling trapped but not hard enough to roll off. Just right as they say in the three bears house.

Went in thinking about a mattress and had massively helpful advice from Alfie - felt that he was interested in what we actually wanted and our budget, he saw us as individual customers and not a sale.

If you want a firm mattress and don't like sleeping on 'sponge' toppers then this is for you. Feels good quality and I like that you can turn it in all directions. Very happy with this purchase.

Questions and answers about the Dream Team Amersham 1200 Pocket Ortho Mattress

Prospective customers had the following questions about the product

Image of the post author
Common question
Is this mattress suitable for people with back pain?

Answer: The very firm comfort grade of the Amersham mattress provides robust support, which can be beneficial for those with back pain, especially if you're a back or stomach sleeper. The pocket springs distribute weight evenly, potentially alleviating pressure points.

Common question
I see that the mattress is double-sided. How often should I flip it?

Answer: The Amersham mattress is designed to be double-sided for extra durability. For the first three months, it's recommended to turn and rotate the mattress weekly. After that, a monthly rotation and flip should suffice to maintain its supportive features.

Common question
What's the significance of the mattress being 'handmade in the UK'?

Common question
Is the Amersham mattress suitable for side sleepers given its very firm comfort grade?

Answer: The Amersham mattress is categorized as 'very firm,' which offers superior support but will definitely not be the best choice for side sleepers who often require a softer surface for pressure relief on the shoulders and hips..

How does the British wool comfort layer affect my sleep?

Answer: The British wool used in the Amersham mattress is sustainably sourced and offers excellent temperature regulation. It keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter, making the mattress versatile for year-round comfort.
