Why our sleep experts loved it

The Dream Team Maidstone Pocket Sprung Mattress is a firmer tension mattress designed to cater to specific sleeping needs. Boasting 1015 pocket springs, this mattress outperforms other support structures, such as reflex foam and open coil bonnell springs, in terms of support, affordability, and longevity. Its dual-sided design allows for rotation and flipping, doubling the surface area for sleep and settlement. Handcrafted by expert craftsmen, the mattress is an adapted and improved version of the best-selling Hudson and, before that, the Orchid mattress.

What Makes the Dream Team Maidstone Mattress Great

A key feature of this mattress is the high GSM fillings that provide a soft, comfortable layer on top of the firmer base layer. The combination of these two layers offers a fantastic night's sleep, as evidenced by the numerous positive customer reviews. The double-sided design not only adds longevity to the mattress, but also ensures better comfort for years to come.

Who the Product Will Suit

This firmer-than-average mattress is ideal for back sleepers and those who suffer from back pain, as it offers enhanced back and neck support. However, side sleepers with a smaller frame and no history of back pain might find this mattress too firm and may prefer a softer option.

What Customers Think

With an impressive 96% consumer satisfaction rate, customers have praised the Dream Team Maidstone Mattress for its value, quality, support, and comfort. Many have reported experiencing a great night's sleep, free of aches and pains. However, some customers found the mattress too firm and suggested adding a softer layer for increased comfort. This is subjective, however, there are already medium tension mattresses available from Dreams at a similar price point that would cater to this. Instead, the focus of the Maidstone is to cater to back and stomach sleepers who require additional support for their back and neck.

The Upper Comfort Layer

The upper comfort layer of the mattress is made from high GSM fillings that provide a soft, cushioned surface to sleep on. This layer complements the firm base layer, offering a balanced level of comfort and support for a restful night's sleep. This isn’t the best comfort layer you can get, but it does come at a very reasonable price that would otherwise be out of reach. This compromise on comfort layer materials does allow for more money to be invested in the support layer below, which far exceeds its cost-profile, punching significantly above its weight as a result.

The Support Layer

The support layer of the mattress features 1015 pocket springs, offering superior support compared to other support structures like reflex foam and open coil bonnell springs. This layer not only provides excellent support to the sleeper, but also helps maintain the mattress's shape and extends its lifespan. We prefer pocket springs to every other support type, they are long lasting and perform consistently and without major issues for many years often beating open coil and reflex foam counterparts.

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

(TLDR at the bottom) Bought this due to our previous mattress being made of memory foam (which I personally hated). This mattress is honestly the best decision I have made with my money so far in life, the investment for a super king size with this quality is amazing. I don't worry about my fiance coming to my side of the bed no more as I have a piece of mind that there is plenty more to go on my side and I am no longer squished in-between the wall and her. I no longer worry about being magnetized to dips in the mattress from memory foam ( really bad combination with sweaty skin if you use a memory foam mattress). I sleep 100 times better now, actually now I need to make sure I get up because of the comfort level provided from the quality of sleep. I was worried initially as I am a side sleeper most of the times but I have no issues now owning it for a while. We work nights and this mattress honestly saved our sleep. Do make sure that you have went out and tried something similar in a shopping mall to know that you are ok with firm mattresses. (Small warning) if its your first time using firm mattresses, you might, after the first few nights will wake up with pins and needles in your hands from sleeping on them which worried my fiance at first thinking we would require to purchase a mattress topper but we eventually forgot about it as we adopted to the mattress. TLDR: - Adjustment period on the first two weeks (pin and needless from first use of a firm mattress) -100 times better sleep quality in comparison to softer mattresses aka memory foam -Best investment I have ever made -No dips or soft parts where its been moulded into it due to it being a softer mattress. -Super King is the way to live, once you go super king you never go back (our room is now 90% bed but we love it) -I am a side sleeper but adjusted perfectly to the bed nonetheless P.s GET THE MATTRESS ITS AMAZING (also when you get the mattress the delivery guy was nice enough to tell us to air out mattress aka open it from the plastic protection so that our room does not end up smelling like plastic so do that if you are really bothered by smells) (added photos, a medium banana for scale and lastly sorry for the bad quality and yellow lighting)

I spent around a third of my life in bed, and getting enough sleep is more important than I had realised. My mattress was 20yrs old. I felt tired all the time, tried CPAP Sleep Apnea machines, nose strips, diets, weight loss, tests for over/under active thyroids, herbs, and even more hours in bed. A good nights rest still eluded me. When my wife convinced me to buy a new Hudson Pocket Sprung Mattress, I instantly noticed that instead of waking up 10-15 times a night and changing sleeping position I woke up maybe once and didn't need to change position. My lower back used to be in bits when I woke up and even forced me out of bed after about 7hrs due to the discomfort. Now I wake every morning wondering why my back is fine and I feel fully rested. I usually felt that work took every ounce of energy from me leaving nothing for my personal life, now work is a sinch as I feel so alert and even have energy left when I get home to enjoy sports/social occassions/family. My stress levels have dramatically reduced, and even when surrounded by sick people I don't get sick. If your mattress isnt up to scratch, it can prevent from getting that all-important good nights sleep, and can even cause you aches and pains due to a lack of support. Mattresses that arent suited to your sleep style end up not supporting your spine, knocking you out of alignment, and potentially causing long term problems. I will never again scoff at the adds on the TV, You can find the perfect mattress easily, and you might even save some money in the process. Invest in your wellbeing, you won't regret it and it won't cost you an arm or a leg to get it!

I bought this mattress recently and it was delivered about a month ago. I am very pleased with it. It has the brilliant (and slightly magical) combination of being very firm, yet still comfortable. You dont sink into it, which is great if you have a dodgy back, but also its not so firm that you feel like you're sleeping on the floor. Its nice and deep (23cm to be precise) but its not overly heavy - I turned mine over by myself no problem. It even has 2 handles on each side to make turning easier. It was actually one of the cheapest mattresses on display when we went to look in the shop, (and its currently listed at even cheaper than my purchase price of 299) but it was also the only one in the shop that met my spec - I needed a firm pocket sprung mattress for under 300. This has been perfect for me. And, the pocket sprung design means you don't get the ripple effect or roll-together issue when you're sharing with someone else. So if you roll over, your partner unaffected. Its brilliant, and I am really very pleased with it.

The new mattress was light enough that managed to slide it along the floor and into place on top of the box base by myself without too much effort. As I'm a longtime crutch user with lower back issues this was a welcome characteristic of the mattress. Having gotten it into place, I sat on the edge of it to relieve the strain off of my legs and was met with a firm, well supported, high seating position and was immediately pleased with my choice of cushioned support. Laying back to sleep over the past month since its setup has brought me some well rested nights. I turn over, carefully, many times at night to keep the pressure from becoming localised to any one area of my back and spine and have found that I've been physically supported each time and that's a huge thing for me. One bad, undersupported nights' sleep, can have a huge effect on my mobility for days to come but I'm pleased to say that the mattress has yet to let me down. Time will show how long this support will last. Tom.

Myself and my girlfriend came in looking at options to replace a very old and past its best small double mattress for a spare room were living in, while we sell up our last house and buy another. A rep named Janette greeted us at the door and recommended we try their new machine that measures our bodies and how we lay so as to find a range best suited to us. The whole process had us giggling as it was very silly but fun to do (as its not how we thought the afternoon was going to go) but the printed results led us to many mattresses we just couldnt fault, and now we know we like a firmer mattress! Because where we are at is only temporary we couldnt bring ourselves to go with anything above the budget line but even so this mattress has went above and beyond anything weve been lying on up to this point. And not only did we find a fantastic replacement on the day, but we have already made our minds that once were in our new home we will be coming back for the Therapur ActiGel

Wow, what can I say, this mattress is just perfect. If you want a great night's sleep then I recommend this mattress. I brought it for the spare bedroom, but having slept on it for a couple of nights, I have now moved it to the main room as its so comfortable. From the moment we walked into the Dreams shop in Truro, the staff were so professional and knowledgeable about everything they were selling. I absolutely hate being pushed into buying something because of a price tag, but here at Dreams you don't get that, the staff are all about getting the right mattress for your needs and budget and more importantly your upmost comfort. From the beginning to the delivery, it was pure first class customer service, and that is very hard to come by these days. Thank you Dream team, you really do live up to the name of the company you work for, and I have already been recommending you to family and friends and will continue to do so.

I bought this after constantly waking up with a sore lower back that persisted throughout the day. To be honest, I put my aches and pains down to advancing years, but as my mattress was well due for renewal, I thought I'd replace it, but really with little expectation that it would have any impact on my mobility. I was also nervous about buying online, but I had a fairly limited budget and after reading reviews, I went for the Hudson. I am so glad I did! From day one, my back has improved significantly and this has made a huge difference to everyday life. Obviously, depending on the cause of back pain, this may not be the result for everyone, but at the very least this is a very well made supportive yet cosy mattress at a competitive price. Practically, turning is only top to bottom, which I can manage very easily and quickly single handedly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Haven't bought a mattress in a long time, stayed at a friends and they had a firm mattress of another brand that i loved. After searching and seeing it discontinued, I decided to look on Dreams and see what they had to offer. I couldn't sleep properly until I had a new mattress knowing what I was missing in comfort and I was not disappointed. I chose this one due to the price and firmness and other reviews. Its very comfortable. Although more firm than the one I slept in at a friends, I know like anything that a mattress needs a breaking in period but I also want it to last a long time. Delivery took a few weeks but it was worth the wait. The delivery driver was very friendly and offered advice along with the leaflet that came with the mattress. Exceptionally pleased with this and wouldn't hesitate to order again, even in the waiting list was triple the time.

We bought our bed about 3 weeks ago and I can already massively feel the difference. I have a damaged disc in my back and sleeping was just gradually getting more and more painful and uncomfortable. The mattress has unbelievable support and it's nice and firm so I don't feel like I'm slowly getting suffocated by it. The bed frame is amazing, comes with so much space underneath and it's really easy to lift up and put back down, even has a little handle! The colour we got is utterly beautiful and really goes with our decor, our room finally looks like a room for us. It's fantastic quality, really really pleased with it. Delivery was spot on, they gave us an accurate time slot and drivers were really friendly, even offered to carry it all upstairs for us! And finally, assembly was so so easy, my partner did it all by himself in no time.

After spending months, years even, suffering with increasing worsening backache and always putting it down to both getting older and a mild scoliosis, it was decided that a new mattress might just help in some small way. Small way is definitely an understatement. I've never enjoyed being in bed as much as I do now. My sleep has improved dramatically, with no constant ache each time I roll over, and no having to wait for the ache to subside when the alarm goes off and I have to try and pick something up from the floor in the morning. There are really are no words to describe just how much of a difference this mattress has made, I really can't recommend it enough. As a bonus it comes with a returns guarantee if you're not happy within the first 40 days...which I definitely won't be needing but provides reassurance all the same.

This is the second Hudson mattress I have bought for my home in the space of a year! I tested and purchased one last autumn (between lockdowns) in the single size for my spare room. I had to use the room while my own bedroom was being decorated and was so blown away by the comfort of this mattress that I ordered one (a small double) for my own bed. After suffering with aching hips and back pain all that has disappeared since I started sleeping on a Hudson mattress. It has just the right balance of comfort and support that I need and laying in bed is a pleasure now. I also benefitted from a further reduction in the already discounted price when i ordered so this has proved to be fantastic value for money. I would have happily paid more for such a comfortable mattress but was very pleased to get it at such a great price.

I've been using the same old mattress for 15 years. I purchased other mattresses similar to this, but within the first few days I found them uncomfortable. The 15 year old mattress, even old was more supportive and allowed me to wake up less sore than the newer mattresses. However, I have had this for over 2 weeks and I have to say I haven't slept this well or woke up fresh since I checked into a hotel 7 years ago. Being only able to fall asleep on my front or side, I wake up with my back feeling strong, and my shoulder and arms not in pain. Very happy with the purchase. It is relatively light compared to my old mattress, which worried me that the bed wouldn't support my heavy weight and excessive movement whilst I sleep, but does everything it supposed to do. Finally have been able to have a good sleep.

Questions and Answers About The Dream Team Maidstone Pocket Sprung Mattress

Prospective customers had the following questions about the product

SandraB62
The best mattress I have had was a Dreams Executive Magnificent 7 range, comfort level 3 medium/firm. Is this going to be the nearest type or can you recommend something else?

Answer: I have taken a look at the specification for the Magnificent 7 range and I can see that this was a pocket sprung mattress with soft fillings encased in a Damask cover. The Hudson would be a very good choice for you although not the same as the materials have improved with the times. We would suggest you visit a Dreams local showroom and try out the SleepMatch Machine which will use scientific measurements to recommend your perfect mattress. You can then try the mattress in store to see what suits you best!.

Hudson 1000 I have back problem that needs a firm mattress but not too hard. I like sleeping on my side. Need advice if this mattress would be suitable or could you recommend an alternative?

Answer: This would be dependent on your usual comfort preference. Unfortunately we can't advise on what would be suitable for back problems.It may be best to visit one of the stores if possible to try the sleepmatch machine to see what would be the most supportive for you. Please bear in mind that as of Thursday the store opening may change, but this information will be available online.

Hi, so if this mattress is the same as the Maitland mattress (apart from the cover) why is there such a big price difference between the 2?

Answer: This mattress is currently on promotion. We do offer some excellent discounts across various products throughout the year, this may be why you see a price difference. Please take a look at the before sale price and you will see how much you are saving on such a great product..

does this mattress have a firm rod edge ?

Answer: Thanks for your question. This mattress is a firm comfort grade so offers excellent support. Though it does not have a specific edge support system, the overall feel of the mattress will be firm and supportive, whether in the centre or on the edge of the mattress.

On the description of this Hudson mattress it says just to rotate head to toe, but could you tell me how often and when to turn mattress over please?

Answer: The Hudson is a double sided mattress, therefore we recommend that it is both turned and rotated together. Rotate and turn your mattress from head to toe each week for the first 3 months after purchase, then once a month thereafter.

Does it have edge to edge support?

Answer: Yes, the Hudson mattress has a spring system that distributes weight evenly providing support and minimising partner motion. The strong edge border also helps to provide edge to edge support.
