Tests & Verdict

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and 12+ years of industry insight.

Firm tension is ideal for back and stomach sleepers who need additional support. Be aware however that this is a particularly specialist mattress which deviates away from traditional norms in terms of support.

High quality pocket springs that work well and outperform other support layers.

All UK sizes with fairly reasonable delivery times at time of review.

Customers love this model, and it's previous design known as the Reynolds.

Not suitable for most people due to extra firm tension.

Not available same week might be an issue for those who need it in a hurry.

Why our sleep experts loved it

The Dream Team Fakenham Pocket Sprung Mattress has been a best seller of The Dreams Workshop for some time now, the basis for the Dream Team Fakenham Pocket Sprung Mattress first came in the form of an old favourite model called The Reynolds Pocket Spring Mattress. This particular mattress impresses with good quality pocket springs, of which we prefer to open coil traditional bonnell springs, and with a quantity of 1000, there is enough support and body contouring for those looking for something to help alleviate back or neck pain.

From a tension perspective, the Fakenham Pocket Sprung Mattress is considered a very firm mattress, that means it is going to be more unsuitable for those with a lower BMI than standard or for those that sleep on their side. Instead I would recommend this sort of mattress to be an ideal fit for those looking to alleviate back or neck pain who sleep mainly on their stomach or back.

With deep layers of upper fillings and strong pocket springs this mattress is an ideal fit for anyone looking for a firmer than average mattress.

Customer Feedback

For those influenced by genuine customer reviews, you are in good company. With over 600 reviews and an impressive 94% of reviewers who recommend this mattress, it's clear to see that this should be on the radar of everyone who is after a firmer than standard mattress with built in orthopaedic support. Customers who purchased this mattress were overwhelmingly pleased with their experience and had a lot of positive feedback to share. They appreciated the firm yet comfortable support the mattress provided, often noting that their sleep quality significantly improved, and they woke up feeling well-rested and free from aches and pains. Many found that the mattress's orthopaedic properties were particularly beneficial for those with back issues, making it an ideal choice for individuals seeking relief from discomfort.

In addition to the mattress's performance, customers were also impressed with the exceptional customer service and overall shopping experience at Dreams. They highlighted the polite and knowledgeable staff, who guided them through the process without being pushy, helping them find the perfect mattress for their needs. Some customers specifically mentioned that it was a great choice for a guest mattress as well, ensuring that their visitors had a comfortable night's sleep in a budget that makes sense for a spare room.

A few customers expressed initial hesitation or uncertainty about the firmness of the mattress, but ultimately found that it provided the right level of support and comfort after giving it a chance. They emphasised the importance of trying out the mattress in-store before purchasing, as individual preferences for comfort can vary. This is valid but there is also a sleep trial available with this product that might alleviate some of these concerns. 

While the vast majority of the reviews were positive, there were very few, if any, negative aspects mentioned by customers. This highlights the overall satisfaction with the mattress and the shopping experience at Dreams, leading many customers to recommend the mattress to friends and family.

In summary, the customers' reviews paint a picture of a high-quality, firm mattress that offers excellent support and comfort, particularly for those with back problems. Coupled with the exceptional customer service at Dreams, it's no wonder that customers were more than happy to share their positive experiences and recommend this mattress to others.

Suitability

*Assuming average weight, suitability will vary dependant on body type, use the quiz 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.

Brand Rating

  • Overall Brand Rating
    ★★★★★

  • This is based on community driven customer reviews tied to product reviews and grouped together at a brand level to produce a score.

We went to dreams looking for a Firm replacement mattress. We were approached by an advisor, who was polite but not pushy and showed us mattresses to try after we informed him that was what we were looking for. We tried 3 that were within our price range and type. We then identified one that we liked most, the Reynolds Orthopaedic.. Whilst with the advisor we mentioned that our daughter had previously purchased a bed from the same store, with which she was very happy. The advisor went away with our daughters details and came back, having found the order that was over 2 years ago. Ironically, we had chosen the same mattress as my daughter! We knew it would be comfy as we had slept in my daughters bed previously. We were able to negotiate a price that we were happy with, and concluded the deal there and then. We picked a delivery date at the same time. We were kept informed from that point until the mattress arrived, exactly to time and delivered by 2 friendly polite staff. They installed it on our bed and advised as to its use. The delivery was simple and without any damage or problem. The mattress is, as we expected, comfy, and the whole experience is a credit to the Company

I was looking for a replacement mattress and visited the store in Uddingston. My plan was just to have a look but from first meeting Kathleen to leaving the store it was such a positive experience that I went ahead and purchased on the day. Having done the assessment and then tested various mattresses around the store I found what I was looking for. While completing the order we were offered coffee and all staff that we encountered were very friendly and helpful. Another positive part of the experience was that there were regular updates on the date for delivery. The day before delivery I received a time slot and on the day of delivery had a phone call to confirm the time.. The delivery staff were very pleasant, arrived at the stated time and extremely helpful. All round a very positive experience.

I purchased a stiff comfortable mattress from Dreams three weeks ago, specifically to relieve my back pain. It has been a game-changer for me. The stiffness of the mattress provides excellent support and alignment for my spine, allowing me to wake up without the usual discomfort. The mattress's balance of support and cushioning is perfect, offering both comfort and relief. Additionally, the mattress has proven to be durable and still feels as firm as when I first got it. With its cooling properties, I wake up feeling refreshed and energized each morning. I highly recommend this mattress to anyone seeking comfort and relief from back pain. Thank you, Dreams, for creating such an exceptional product that has drastically improved the quality of my sleep and alleviated my back pain.

My wife and I have always preferred a firm supportive mattress, and when it came time to replace our 10+ year-old mattress we checked the local Dreams store for a suitable replacement. There were numerous products available, and we tested out a number of possibilities in the store with the help of a very helpful assistant, and we found that only the Reynolds Orthopaedic seemed to quite fit the bill for us, and we agreed on it unanimously. We have now had the mattress for 3-4 weeks and are delighted with it, and are very happy that we chose it. We were also keen to have a king-size this time, and the extra width adds greatly to the comfort and we seem to be sleeping better for it, just as we expected.

The mattress is frim yet gentle you're not laying on a stone nor a marshmallow. It supports in all the right places. the feel is of a high quality product I have yet to find any defects unlick my last mattress from another company the fell to bits in months. the store I got it from Kirkcaldy - apon entering I was welcomed by the staff who were very friendly, they had me use the mattress finder it takes about 3 minutes but worth doing. After the testing I was shown a range of mattresses and got the option to try each one. On my visit I was offered a drink when I made my purchase I was informed of additional services and products this was done without feeling like a hard sale tactic.

We bought this mattress back in December after trying it out in the showroom the day before lockdown, we bought primarily because it was on offer and were looking for a very firm mattress at a reasonable price. This mattress has not disappointed, its very firm and extremely comfortable and is as good as the Orthopaedic mattress it replaces which cost several hundred pounds more! We wanted a new mattress as my partner was suffering with lower back pain and since using the new mattress this has completely disappeared. If anyone is looking for a extra firm mattress at a reasonable price I would highly recommend.

Recently purchased this Reynolds Pocket spring mattress for my elderly parents, who kept waking up with back pain and would dread to sleep on their old mattress, since theyve had this new mattress, theyve not only had the best sleep, but almost every day I get a thank you, for buying them exactly what they needed. I went to check it out and had to buy one for myself too. Anyone who buys this mattress will be so grateful to whoever invented it. Would definitely recommend it. Thank you dreams, for having such products that give us a great night sleep.

We brought the Reynolds Orthopaedic mattress for the guest bedroom for when our parents stay over. Being older we thought it was important to have a mattress that better supports their backs yet provide them with a more comfortable night sleep. They're happy with the purchase as it helps them fall asleep quicker and they're no longer tossing and turning as much in the night. So equally, we're happy with the purchase. In addition, with the handles it makes it super easy to turn and lift the mattress for ease of tutting the sheets

I asked a colleague at work to recommend a good mattress and she told me her bf has a very good one from Dreams, so I decided to buy 1 for myself because I bought one when I moved how 3 weeks before and I havent had any good nights sleep. I decided to purchase a new mattress and I have not had any back or hip pains since I started sleeping on this! I am very pleased with my purchase! If you are pregnant and you have the same problems with your mattress, I recommend you try this out! It has made all the difference for me.

There was I, king of the mattress testers, I had the amazing experience of the Dreams analyser Telling me which mattress I should try to purchase. Gel filled, memory foam, you name it I needed to try. Bottom line this established technology with no bells or whistles suited me the best. After three weeks of amazing sleeps the old saying the best is not always the dearest had proven to be true. If you have a bad back please give this a go - I did and I saved hundreds with no pressure from the excellent staff at Burnley.

This mattress has changed my life. We have excellent quality mattresses in every bedroom, but all too soft now to support my aching bones! Decided to go for this very firm Reynolds Orthopaedic and have not looked back. If you feel you need a bit of extra support dont be put off by how firm it feels at first. It really does the job. Best sleep in years. Oh, by the way, it is great quality and brilliant value too, and the service at the Llandudno store was first class.

Hi, under Care and Usage it states double sided and to turn over regularly so I would expect layers on both sides to be the same, but the 2nd picture shows a thicker comfort layer on the upper side, so is one side softer?, or is the diagram wrong? Thanks.
