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 will suit back sleepers nicely, and at this price point for a good quality support system is fairly unheard of.

1200 pocket springs in a king size is more than the average and contours well as a result.

All UK sizes available at time of writing and with fairly fast delivery timings.

Strong customer reviews and reclassified as a firm, up from medium a few years ago.

Possibly not going to suit dedicated side sleepers, although combination sleepers who occasionally move onto their side should be fine.

It may take a few nights for some people to adjust to the firmness of the mattress, especially if they are used to a softer sleep surface.

Why our sleep experts loved it

Introducing the Dream Team Swaffham Combination Mattress from Dreams, a fantastic option for those in search of a firmer, supportive mattress at a reasonable price. This upgraded model is a popular choice for back and stomach sleepers and those who prioritise comfort and support. As part of The Dreams Workshop, but pushed under the new Dream Team collection, this mattress comes from a trusted and well-reviewed line of products.

Starting with that support layer and the mattress features 1216 pocket springs, which provide excellent contouring and support for the entire body. These high-quality pocket springs outperform open coil mattresses, ensuring a durable and comfortable sleep surface. To maintain its performance, it is recommended that you rotate this mattress regularly which might be a bit of a pain, but does ensure better durability and lifespan.

When it comes to feedback, many customers have praised the Swaffham Combination Mattress for its impressive comfort and accurate firmness rating with a majority of people finding it to be a great choice for their needs. However, side sleepers may want to consider a mattress with a medium tension firmness rating for a compromise in support that will deliver better sinkage to assist the hips and shoulder as you sleep.

Positive reviews highlight the benefits of the pocket sprung mattress, especially in comparison to other rolled foam options. Many customers reported improvements in sleep quality and reduced back pain after switching to the Swaffham Mattress. The mattress has also been particularly well-received by teenagers upgrading from older single beds, as well as adults experiencing back pain with softer mattresses from previous. One customer mentioned that their 14-year-old son found the mattress to be extremely comfortable and it was difficult to get him out of bed.

Although many customers were happy with their purchase, a few noted that the mattress felt different than they anticipated, especially when used on a slatted bed frame. This is quite common as store models can have quite a lot of use which softens them prior to purchase and can miss-lead slightly. There were also isolated instances of the mattress arriving dirty or damaged, although this looks to be a once off. A handful of customers have also been in touch to comment that the mattress didn't quite meet their comfort expectations, with some describing it as merely average. A few side sleepers felt the mattress was too firm for their needs and opted to utilise Dreams' exchange system to find a more suitable alternative.

Despite some minor concerns, the overall consensus is that the Swaffham Combination Mattress from Dreams is a top choice for those looking for a firm, supportive, and reasonably priced mattress. With over 1400 positive reviews and a 96% consumer satisfaction rating, this mattress has proven itself to be a reliable and comfortable option for many. Just remember to consider your personal sleep preferences and requirements before making a decision, and don't be afraid to take advantage of Dreams' exchange system if needed.

I have purchased this mattress last month and Ive been using it for 3weeks now since it was delivered. After a year, I finally decided to buy my own mattress, since I am renting a room, and bed provided is not that good - which we all know. Having this mattress is worth all the penny for me, because its comfortable and suits my preference for sleeping. Whenever I wake-up, I always feel so rested and I havent experienced any back pain - which I always experience from my previous mattresses.I think the shape on top of the bed and its memory foam layer adds more comfort and support during sleep. Which is so appropriate for me since I always feel tired from working all day at the hospital. Handling wise, its easy as it have 2 handles on the side for better grip and help in rotating and moving the matress. In terms of the price, its budget friendly as its not that expensive. The initial recommended for me was so expensive, but when I saw this and asked about the mattress, its almost similar to what was recommended and its perfect because it suits my budget too! Wise decision, isnt? Comfortable and affordable! Specially for those who wants a good mattress but on a tight budget. In the future Is like to purchase the same product or even the next higher one with good comfort too. I am beyond satisfied with this product!

I've been using this mattress for just over two weeks, and before delivery i became concerned by the memory foam topping it has (3cm thick and non-removable) also because, if for any reason you don't like it, you can't turn the mattress over and sleep on the other side as i've been told that this mattress is really single-sided. well, all that concern was for nothing. it's supposed to be medium-firm, but to me it feels like it's firm, but with a soft topping layer. the combination makes for the best sleeping experience i've ever had. in truth, i had no idea that you could even be this comfortable in a bed. I tried it out in the shop of course, and you should too, because even those few minutes i spent on it were enough to convince me to buy it over two others. however, that didn't quite deliver the same experience that spending an entire night on it would, tossing and turning, and stretching yourself over it. it's expensive, there's no getting around that, but consider this: on average, you spend about 7 hours out of every day in a bed, more than on any other furniture, which justifies your investment. honestly, this is definitely some of the best money i ever spent. if you're looking for a new mattress, then you owe it to yourself to at least trying it out.

Being a former professional furniture upholsterer for 20 years in the United States, I can attest to the quality of the headboard and divan base and I am very satisfied with the purchase. I just moved from the United States to join my new British wife who has lived in England for 54 years. We had been apart for about 1 year due to Covid-19 after getting married in the US last year. Once I finally arrived here, we decided to get a new bed and decided to shop at Dreams. We didn't even need to shop elsewhere since we found the perfect divan base, headboard, and mattress. The new salesperson was great as well as the more experienced salespeople. Everything went very smooth and we absolutely love the new bed. We definitely are getting a better night's sleep...not only because we're finally together but because of the quality of the mattress. We are extremely satisfied with our purchase.

Very good mattress and superbly made but unfortunately it was too firm for my needs. I should have gone for a medium one really but i liked this one in the shop when i tried it. But when sleeping on it i found i could not relax properly for my needs as i wasn't used to a firm mattress. However that said it gave great support and would recommend Swaffham If you want a firm mattress. Dreams were very understanding and gave me a quick refund on return as i had only had it a few days and was still in pristine condition. The fees for delivery were extortionate though as i paid the delivery fee of 55 and the afternoon slot fee 29 then i had to repeat all this when i returned it as well so i paid it twice so i was a total of 170 out of pocket for the delivery fees and slots - which is outrageous!

I went through a bit of a whirlwind with Dreams. First mattress was the Flaxby, which had a weird bumpy top layer I didnt like, luckily due to mattress fault I was able to change to the Campbell. The Campbell whilst super soft like a cloud didnt offer enough support to my back. So I changed it to the Johnstone via the comfort guarantee. The Johnstone though is something else. Really comfortable, you sink into the Memory Foam layer at the top whilst feeling the support in your back which stops your hips from sinking in too far and causing back pain. Id recommend this too anyone with back pain. I only had ONE slight comment and that it seems to be slightly shorter than my bed frame which the other were not, which really isnt a big problem.

The matress seems to be fine however I have observations about how my order was managed. I placed the order on 23 November and was told - without explanation - that the delivery date would be 20 December. Is there always a 4 week delivery time on your products? I needed to be at a funeral on 20 December and phoned the local showroom to find out whether the delivery time would enable me to attend the funeral. I was astonished to learn that a specific 2 hour delivery slot would cost me 40.I had paid for the mattress in full on 23 November - the company had had my money for four weeks and yet I was being asked for more money. I suggest you review your delivery policy. Yours Katharine Rumens

I'm loving my new Johnstone mattress. I purchased a double one after having a single in another rented flat. It's perfect for my bad back and pains. I didn't get to use it for longer than a year, so I can only hope that it will last (I saw some reviews of people claiming that it tends to become to change shape after using it for a very long time). For now it seemsvto me like a very good quality product. It provides a firmer support but the memory foam still moulds to the body especially when sleeping on the side. Unlike other firm - medium mattresses than I tried over the years, the Johnstone doesn't make you feel like you sleep on the floor. I'm finally having a good night rest.

Myself and my husband bought this mattress due to a house move and owning an embarrassingly old mattress. We were desperate for an upgrade and we werent disappointed with our Dreams experience. The sales advisor was helpful and content in making sure we got exactly what we wanted. As soon as we lay on the Johnstone mattress we knew it was the one for us. Order and delivery was super fast and we ended up with the mattress before our near move date which was amazing compared to other mattress companies we had looked at. Very happy with the mattress its so comfy and makes it really hard to get out of bed in the morning and really easy to fall asleep at night. Thank you Dreams!

We've had this mattresses for about a month now and we're loving it! The OH is a very light sleeper and I'm an early starter myself so for a long time I'd always wake her up when getting up for work however now with this matress having individual pockets I can get up and she will stay sound'o The mattress it's self is on the harder side but in a good way its firm enough that you don't feel like you're on a inflatable but not so hard it feels like you're sleeping on the concrete! As you might say the "one in the middle" Super happy with the item and the sales people where fantastic and very understanding of our requirements!

A reasonably comfortable single mattress, bought as a guest bed. It is a single sided matress. It has a spring base with a memory foam top. Medium firmness. It is unexpectedly heavy for its size which makes moving it difficult. Each long side has two handles, none at the ends. It is slightly thicker than a normal mattress, so either a standard fitted bottom sheet is tight, or a tall one is a bit loose. It would be better if mattresses came in standard thicknesses to accommodate standard size fitted sheets. Overall, reasonable but perhaps rather expensive. If we had more time, i am not sure this would be my preferred choice.

We went into a dreams store to purchase this mattress, went on their test mattress thing which tells you which mattress you should have. It gave us medium mattresses as a choice but i found the memory foam layer made the medium mattresses too hard. This mattress was the perfect mattress as it was softer but with the memory foam later it makes it slightly firmer which my partner likes. When I say firm it isnt hard. I like the softest mattress in the shop but am very comfortable on this one. The other reviews worried me after we had actually tried it in the shop but I had nothing to worry about because it was perfect.

What Makes The Dream Team Swaffham Combination Mattress Great?

We've expanded on the specifications of the product to better help you understand it's benefits.

Rest easy with a 1-year guarantee

A one year guarantee is suitable for many as the vast majority of problems that may occur often do so within that first year. At the same time, more and more retailers are beginning to offer multi-year warranty and guarantees although these often come at a slightly higher price point on average.

Single-sided

Single sided means only one side is comfy. Positives are you only need to rotate the mattress occassionaly rather than the more cumbersome rotate and flip. Downside is the lifespan of the product may suffer as a result, only marginal, but worth mentioning.

Soft touch knitted cover

Soft touch covers are commonplace in the mattress industry. These covers are still hard wearing enough to last the lifetime of the product but soft enough to the touch to still be comfortable even with the thinnest of sheets on top

Deep layer of pressure-relieving memory foam

The memory foam moulds to the contours of your body, providing personalised support and adapting to your unique shape. This personalised fit creates a comfortable and supportive sleep surface tailored to your specific needs.

Comes with our 100-Night Comfort Guarantee

This can provide some peace of mind to the consumer, as it allows them to test the mattress in the comfort of their own home and make sure it's the right fit for their sleeping preferences and needs.

Firm comfort grade for superior support

A firm comfort grade typically means the mattress will provide a sturdy and supportive feel. This can be helpful for those who require more support for their back or prefer a firmer sleeping surface.

Expertly made in the UK for Dream Team
