What our reviewers found

Pros

Good quality pocket spring layer that performs well over time and has impressive durability and long lasting breathability.

Deep comfort layers of wool continue to provide a hygienic nights sleep that is soft and cooling.

High quality materials and available in all popular UK sizes.

Fast delivery of 5 days is far better than most of the other products in the Dreams range.

100-night trial will help those unsure of suitability.

Side sleepers will see great benefits from the softer tension as hips and shoulders can sink into the product better.

Cons

Price point might be an issue for those on a budget as quality does not come cheap.

Will likely not suit back and stomach sleepers.

Welcome to slumber luxury, where the pursuit of the perfect night's sleep comes down to carefully crafted materials and clever design. Today, we're looking under the sheets of the Dream Team Ashbourne Pocket Sprung Mattress, which promises to cradle you into a world of dreams with its captivating features.

So, let's pull back the covers and look deeper into the layers of this sleep solution. Will it be the dreamy addition to your bedroom you've been longing for? We'll see.

The Dream Team Ashbourne Pocket Sprung Mattress features an clever combination of 2014 pocket springs in the base layer. These pocket springs are individually wrapped, improving edge support and breathability while reducing the possibility of roll-together. This construction provides a responsive sleep surface that can adapt to the sleeper's movements and body shape which is far better than competing products of open coil and reflex foam origins.

Moving onto the comfort layer, we witness additional durability in the form of the Platinum 3D™. This technology enhances the overall feel of the upper layer while providing a sensation similar to that of micro springs. Beyond this layer you also get deep and luxurious fillings of wool. The certified British sheep's wool layer is known for its breathability and luxurious softness, providing extra comfort and temperature regulation found in only the most premium of mattresses.

More about that durability and the mattress is double-sided, with a comfort layer on both sides. This design enhances the mattress's longevity and durability by distributing wear more evenly over time and ensures you get better value for money as a result.

The natural, antibacterial cover is what wraps the outer layer and helps provide a breathable and safe environment for the sleeper, helping to maintain freshness over time while ensuring a healthy and hygienic night's sleep.

Comfort & Support:

With a soft comfort grade, the Dream Team Ashbourne mattress is likely to be highly comfortable for side sleepers who require additional cushioning for their shoulders and hips. However, the softness might not provide the necessary firmness and support for back and stomach sleepers who typically need a firmer surface for spinal alignment.

The mattress has individually wrapped pocket springs that provide a high level of personalised support, reacting to the sleeper's body shape and movements, while the traditionally tufted construction ensures that the fillings remain evenly distributed.

Final Thoughts:

As a product from Dream Team, a manufacturer under the Dreams umbrella, there's a trust in the quality that comes with it. However, the price point might be a little steep for some customers looking for a bargain. The mattress does come with a 100-Night Comfort Guarantee and a 1-year warranty, which can enhance assurance and prove its value proposition.

Ultimately though, the Dream Team Ashbourne Pocket Sprung Mattress will prove ideal for a limited assortment of people who are primarily side sleepers who are able to benefit from a softer surface. Its breathable and temperature-regulating properties make it a good choice for those who tend to sleep hot. However, back and stomach sleepers who need a firmer surface for support may not find this mattress suitable.

And so, the Dream Team Ashbourne mattress is well-constructed, with high-quality materials and thoughtful design elements like the double-sided feature and traditional tufting, which are known to enhance durability and longevity. If you're a side sleeper looking for a luxurious, breathable, and supportive mattress and are willing to invest in a higher-priced product, the Dream Team Ashbourne Pocket Sprung Mattress could be a suitable choice.

Suitability

  • Back Sleepers 3/5
  • 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 3.5/5
  • 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 3/5
  • 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 4/5
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress 5/5
  • 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 3/5
  • 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 4.5/5
  • 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 5/5
  • Certain materials inside different mattresses can produce a small odour. Typically this is short term rather than long standing but there are minor exceptions.

Brand Rating

  • Overall Brand Rating 4.5/5
  • This is based on community driven customer reviews tied to product reviews and grouped together at a brand level to produce a score.

Tested in the shop and felt like the right mattress, soft and bouncy. The Ashbourne was a replacement mattress from Dreams that gave me back pain because it was designed for sleepers who don't move and that's not me. But the sleep expert forgot to tell me that. When the replacement Ashbourne was delivered the first thing i noticed was how firm it was not the soft bouncy mattress in the store. I thought it would soften up with use. Had to stick with it as the policy is only one replacement and no refunds. Wish i read the small print. Several months later and the bed is still firm i have had back and neck pain every day since. Having to take time off work due to the pain and i can't afford to replace this horrible mattress. I wish i had never gone to dreams.

I've gone from a hard orthopaedic mattress to a soft mattress despite the sleepmatch test advising on a medium and it's the best decision I have ever made. It's not really bouncy soft like old springy mattresses but there's just enough bounce to get a comfortable night's sleep right from the very first night. I said I wanted to be sleeping on a giant marshmallow and that is exactly what I got. I won't need the 100 night guarantee. I absolutely love it and you're not having it back !

Such a comfortable mattress. A soft mattress required due to health issues. Four visits to Dreams at various times of the day to re-try the mattress. The mattress is reversible so can be turned and flipped. It is 10 inches/25 cms in depth but my sheets fitted so did not need to buy new deep ones which was a bonus! It's made in Britain and extremely well made.

The product itself is fantastic but ours was unfortunately delivered damaged with a puncture hole where one of the wool buttons should be so upset as we have no mattress and have now had to go and buy a blow up bed at 8pm at night hoping this is resolved quickly as I was really looking forward to a decent nights sleep at this price

Scrumptious soft but supportive! Best nights sleep, the natural fabrics keep our temperature regulated all evening. The cover fabric is so soft and feels really luxurious and great that's it has antibacterial to keep the mattress fresh over time. Would recommend to friends and family!

We were nervous about trying the Ashbourne to start with because it is sold as a 'soft' mattress and historically, soft mattresses haven't suited us. But having tried it in store, along with many others, we were impressed by the support it seemed to give so decided to give it a go. We have been using it for a few months now and are very impressed. The individually wrapped pocket springs mean that we are not disturbed by the other moving during the night and those, coupled with the natural fillings mean that even on the hottest nights, we stay comfortable. We have turned the mattress a couple of times already and are pleased that the fillings are settling evenly. The fact that the wool fillings were responsibly sourced was a good selling point for us, as was the addition of the antibacterial cover. All in all, we are very pleased with the Ashbourne. It's a very luxurious feeling mattress! Highly recommended.

It is very difficult to buy a mattress, as there are simply too many to choose from, having spoken with my parents, they bought a Dreams mattress many years ago and they are extremely satisfied with it, so I tried their mattress for comfort and found it very comfortable, so I went online and ordered a soft mattress similar to theirs. So far, 2 weeks in, it seems very comfortable, I am not having as many aches and pains as a nights sleep on my old mattress. The ordering was easy and efficient, the delivery was on time and the delivery men were extremely helpful, took the new mattress to the bedroom for me, don't think I could have managed that myself, as it is a good quality and a decent weight matters. It also comes with a 100 day satisfaction guarantee, so you have no worries when buying from Dreams, I highly recommend them.

Looks amazing and initially comfortable, however after a few months gets harder as it flattens. I turned the mattress every week the first 3 months, as instructed, and now monthly. The mattress is described as warm in winter and cool in the summer, due to the natural fillings. I can definitely say this is not cool in the summer, it is far too hot. I also feel the tufts are far too deep compared to others and you end up with your ankle in one or elbow and wake up aching. This may be just me and other customers may not feel the same. I should have returned after the 100 night trial. I will have to purchase something else as I cannot sleep on it. I was not offered interest-free credit either at the point of purchase; which is okay but I should have been given the choice.

I have purchased 3 of these mattresses for me and my young kids. My king size is 3years old and has dips both sides. I turn and flip it every Friday and have done since I purchased it. One side I now can't sleep on as the dips awful. It was comfy to start with but quickly flattens and the dips noticeably started at just 1.5years. I now wake up with back/shoulder & neck pain with a headache most mornings, so now need to already purchase a new mattress again. My 8y olds double just over 6m old I can also see it's starting to dip slightly. Regret buying these as looks as though I'm going to have to replace all of them in such a short period of time.

I was having trouble sleeping, waking up frequently with pins and needles in my shoulders and pain in my lower back. The very firm mattress I was using was just too hard. When I visited my sister I slept without any problem on the soft mattress there. So it seemd that the answer was obvious. I found just what I wanted at Dreams, Worcester, and at a lower price than I expected. A fortnight later I had my first night on the soft mattress, an instant improvement with an unbroken 5 hour sleep. It's actually got better with a couple of weeks' use. No more night pain, and I look forward to going to bed again, instead of dreading it.

The Matress is soft, yet gives a firm enough layer of support for myself. Especially being a front sleeper. I found it very hard to find a soft matress that would meet my needs given that Fibro Myalgia runs in the family. However I would say this has been great so far. I have noticed that my back pain has practically gone since getting this. and as someone who is on the lighter side I would say that it is definitely a good purchase if you were hesitating on trying this. you definitely should. it maybe slightly pricy for some people, however I would say that its worth it and you definitely get what you pay for

Wow! What I can only imagine is like sleeping on a cloud! This mattress was purchased for our toddler as recommended by one of your lovely store assistants! We actually came in with the intention of buying a different one, but after a quick chat the lovely lady told us the CEO also loves this one. So we gave it a try! Our toddler now sleeps all night in her own bed (which is a win in itself) but when she's not here on the odd occasion me and my husband now have to rock paper scissors over who actually gets to sleep in there as a treat! therefore I highly recommend! So glad I took your suggestions on board!

Originally bought the Tadley matress after trying it in store. It was like sinking into a cloud. However what I tried in store to what was delivered did not feel like the same matress, it was rock hard. I was told the new matresses are always harder to the ones you try in store and to give it time. So I kept fit a few weeks but couldn't cope with it. So I go into customer services who was very helpful and they changed the matress for me. So I exchanged it to the Ashbourne and I have the same problem. I'm very disappointed as I paid a lot more over my budget for this once since the last one was too hard.

I bought this mattress two years ago. It was recommended instore after using the bed machine. I explained my disabilities to the sales assistant who said this would be the best mattress to meet my needs. I sleep alone and I'm of average weight. Despite this, the mattress has sagged badly in the middle. It doesn't provide any support at all now and it is aggravating my health condition. I am not sleeping well and I keep waking up in pain. I'm bitterly disappointed with my purchase as I expected a quality product that would last longer than two years.

I bought this mattress for £899. because of so many good reviews it is getting, they have put the price up to £1599. Because of the natural wool it 1st feels amazingly, luxurious and super comfortable, but wool naturally flattens over time, this is why I have waited until my 100 night trial has finished to review. It is still a comfortable mattress but not as as luxurious as it is when new. If you can afford it at this price please don't review until you feel what it's like when the wool flattens. You will still get entered to the £1000 prize

Very comfortable. No longer getting up stiff and sore from a lack of support to the lower back through the night. Honestly, the mattress requires some 'bedding in' as the new mattress (full of natural fibres) requires some small compression from use, but rotated and turned every week we are distributing that and the result will be a brilliant uniformly comfortable and supportive mattress. I cannot highly enough recommend traditional construction like this over memory foam and modern gimmicks..

We've got this mattress in our spare room and so far had 3 different people sleep on it. All have commented how comfortable it is. It is definitely soft but still supportive. One person reported it was the best night's sleep they'd had in several years so high praise indeed! The only thing I would say is the mattress is quite deep so our standard fitted sheets don't really fit completely over the mattress so at some point I will need to probably get some extra deep fitted sheets.

Lovely soft mattress. Only used it a matter of weeks; it appears to hold its shape with 2 different sized people sleeping on it (120lbs and 240lbs) but time will tell. I find it a little warm for my liking and I finish up sweating a short time after settling in to sleep. The mattress is very thick so I have had to buy new mattress protectors and fitted sheets as my previous ones kept slipping off. Overall a good mattress, if you like a soft squishy feel to your mattress.

I had to flip it a couple of times within a couple of weeks and move to different sides as it sinks easily, and Im under 10 stone and sleep alone so im not sure how well it will cope with 2 people or heavier people. I've had it about 2 months. Im waking up a bit achey, which is why I got a new mattress in the first place. It's improved since my last mattress but I was obviously hoping to not be aching at all. I got it to try and be more environmentally friendly too

My partner and I were between this mattress and the more expensive model of the same company. We personally couldn't feel a huge difference between the two, so went for this one (the cheaper one). We've now had it a month and absolutely love it. We look forward to getting into bed as we know how comfy it is. We did the dreams machine and it said we should get medium or firm, however after trying them we instead went for soft and luckily made the best decision.

This was bought as a replacement for a gel top mattress we bought several years ago from Dreams, the problem was it was incredibly heavy so changing sheets was a two person job. This mattress is more comfortable and much lighter so my wife can change the sheets single handedly. The gel mattress it replaced was too warm and the new one breathes much more allowing air to circulate easily. We are both very happy with the new one.

After the experience, the machine suggested the sort of be that would suit us the best, we chose one of 4 beds that we were shown, and we must say that it is the best bed we have ever owned in our 50 years of marriage.

Excellent, thought it felt a little more like medium in the first week, but it's softening now at the third week as the info booklet that came with it advised, and it feels exactly right, lots of give but with lots of support at the same time. I'm fairly lightweight so it's lovely to have a mattress that feels comfortable and supports my whole body, instead of feeling like I'm lying on a hard surface.

Bought our mattress a few weeks back and do far sn excellent buy. I can sleep on a clothes line but my wife has a bad back which was troubling her before we bought the new mattress. She's now sleeping much better which is also more beneficial to me as she's not tossing and turning. Everything from visiting the store , talking to staff, delivery and advice have been five star. Can't recommend enough.

Comfy mattress for the £900 I paid for a DOUBLE. It's a shame as it WASN'T on offer when I purchased and I've gone to purchase another for my other child but dreams have put the price up by £700 in just a month!!! How do you justify this dreams? I wont be buying another due to this pure greed in a cost of living Crisis. This was once a affordable mattress which will now be off limits for many.

Visited Dreams Mansfield in December and purchased a double bed with Ashbourne Spring mattress. Absolutely perfect for our bedroom, very comfortable. The Dreams staff were professional in every way, nice warm welcome, gave us a good insight into the different mattresses, with their demonstration bed, gave us the confidence to choose that particular package. Well done Dreams Mansfield!

After months of backache after first night NO BACKACHE as get out of bed and none since. Not 5 star as this is a heavy mattress and a king size. There should be handles on all 4 sides as it has to be flipped. I might be able to manage on my own with the extra handle but having to rely on friends to come especially to help me. Not helped by having been told was a turn only mattress!!

We visited the store twice and the team were very helpful. It took a while but correctly so to find the right mattress we were looking for. The quality is excellent and the timing of delivery and the communication around the timing was all very clear and as promised in the store. I would also say that the mattress we bought was at a good and fair price. Good value for money.

Brilliant Ashbourne mattress, I was that impressed with the mattress I bought in August last year, that I decided to purchase another one. The quality is good and you will be guaranteed a great nights sleep. I opted for the soft mattress and it is perfect for my needs. I bought a double mattress for home and a kingsize mattress for my static lodge, I couldn't be happier.

Had this mattress just over 5 weeks. Initially I was worried it would be too soft. So far its been very comfortable. Side and back sleepers. I still suffer with occasional hip pain but I now believe this is not to do with any mattress. I like that the mattress is turnable as should make it last longer. Happy with our purchase and for the price we got it.

Was warmly greeted when I stepped into the store, and was shown to their 'spcial mattress' which takes analytics depending on sleeping style to offer mattresses suited to one's needs. Delivery was efficient, and the delivery men even wore disposable shoe covers and took it up a flight of stairs. The mattress itself is super comfortable, and well suited.

Best mattress ever!!! Like sleeping on a cloud. After buying a different mattress from Dreams I did have to do the swap, which I'm so glad I did.

This is such a comfy mattress! I went in store and tried the funky bed which tells you what type of mattress you should have, and was surprised when it said soft as I always go for a medium. I didn't like any other soft mattresses in store, but changed my mind as soon as I sat on this one! I've been so happy with it since I got it

Lovely comfortable mattress. Outstanding quality. Like that you can also turn it over as well as rotating, which is a real bonus and a rarity in a mattress of this price. Excellent value for money. The staff are fantastic nothing is to much trouble. Would highly recommend this mattress to anyone wanting soft to medium support.

The mattress supplied is nowhere near as soft as the showrooms mattress is. The one on the show room has a fatter wool topper. The staff has said that they are the same and that it will get softer the longer I use it? How will it get softer as there's no way it has as much wool in it. Very unhappy and I think I've been misled.

LOVE this mattress, shame to see it on clearance. I tried a silent night and tempur before getting this one. Perfect for lighter people it's a perfect softness and a great price with good materials. I think it would probably dip if you're heavier though (for reference me and my partner weigh combined 9.7 stone and 11 stone)

Bed arrived as arranged. Drivers very polite and pleasant. Carried the mattress upstairs and laid on the bed, gave clear instructions as to leaving it for an hour before unwrapping. Mattress is softer than my previous one due to the sleep test carried out in store. Am currently getting used to it but so f ar so good

Our daughter tried out the specialist Dreams machine to help get the right mattress-this was in the top 3 recommended and to our delight, she loved it. She tried about 10-12 mattresses in total but kept coming back to this one. She's had it for two weeks so far and loves it. We won't need the 100 days sleep guarantee!

Online ordering simple and easy Delivery better than expected - delivered to upstair bedroom Only took a few nights to adjust to mattress firmness (soft) compared to previous old mattress medium firm to firm. After nearly two months of use no quality issues found. Little side support but expected with softness level.

We originally purchased the Burnley firm mattress. It was awful, gave us back ache, so we exchanged it under the 100 days return scheme for The Ashbourne. Oh what a difference! Finally getting a decent night's sleep again. Admittedly it was twice the price of the Burnley but we bought it when it was on special offer

Such a beautiful mattress, it is incredibly comfortable but also very supportive. I aired the mattress with the window open for a full day and have not noticed a wool smell at all. Really pleased with my purchase, and such a great price for the quality, I have already recommended this mattress to family and friends!

Excellent service, delivery and customer care throughout. When I initially bought the mattress I got a 10% discount from my Forces Discount Card. Before delivery the mattress came down in price so I inquired if I would be eligible for this revised price. I was and recieved a further discount without any quibbles.

Great service from the moment we went to the store, from searching for the best mattress and bed for us to the delivery men that constructed the bed and made sure everything was as it should be. The old mattress was taken away to be recycled along with all the packaging. I've never slept so well in all my life!

More Medium than Soft. Body feels completely supported all over. Wake up without feeling any aches or pains anywhere. I should have invested in this mattress (and my health) years ago. As someone who is not easily impressed - this mattress is incredibly impressive. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

I'm so dissapointed with this mattress, it's so soft that we have to turn it every week just for a couple of nights comfortable sleep as it has no support and sags. The mattress now has a massive indent in where padding used to be and we can longer sleep on that side . For the price I'm shocked at the quality

This is the second Ashbourne we have brought. We both suffer from bad backs and have tried firmer mattresses, but found them uncomfortable. The Ashbourne is rated soft, but supports your body very well. It is a great mattress for a good night sleep and also seems to help with any discomfort you may have.

We have had our new mattress for a few weeks now and I must say it's superb! We had an Emma mattress before and I would wake up every morning with lots of aches and pains but those days are gone! We went into store and did the sleep match which was great and we are just so in love with our new mattress.

I have had the mattress 2 years and no matter what position I sleep in I wake up with pains or aches because the mattress is not supporting my weight correctly. It is uncomfortable and not the mixture of soft and firm I was expecting. Unfortunately for me I may have to look to replace this already.

I bought this last year after the test bed in Dreams recommended a soft mattress, and it's the best nights sleep I've ever had. An excellent purchase. So much so I'm looking to buy a second for a spare room. Delivery guys were great and the mattress was delivered on time, to the room without faff.

For my buget this is an amazing mattress couldn't find anything comparable for the price although it's a bit on the warm side but nothing is perfect and my old mattress was very cool compared to a lot of mattress I've slept on on hotels and the like. So about as warm as a premier inn mattress.

An amazingly soft, yet supportive, mattress ideal for my partner who has back challenges. We chose super king, the first bed of that size we've ever had, and it's an absolute dream. The mattress is deep, luxurious and of high quality, we can't praise it enough. For us, it's perfect.
