What our reviewers found

Pros

The owner reviews date from 2016 to 2021, and comfort and support are what they praise most: "Very comfortable and supportive", one wrote, and another with a weak back found "a good balance between back support and comfort".

Good quality mattress, 31cm deep, with good components that should last for many years to come.

Owners who compare it with memory foam say it sleeps cooler ("Not as hot as memory foam in my opinion", in one owner's words), though another found it "Warmer than expected".

Soft to medium tension which will suit most people who sleep on their side.

Cons

The most common complaint is weight: "Very heavy and more difficult to move when tucking in the bottom sheet", one owner wrote, and several of the 2016 reviews add that it had no handles.

Price is the other recurring gripe: "Even with the best discount it is expensive", as one owner put it. One 2016 review also found it "Far too firm".

May not give enough support for dedicated back sleepers who typically prefer a slightly firmer base layer tension.

The Dunlopillo Royal Sovereign is a mattress I like the idea of, mainly because Dunlopillo latex tends to have that springy, supportive feel without needing a big stack of layers. It is now sold as the Dunlopillo Elite Comfort 1400 Pocket Pillow Top. Before the rename, the Royal Sovereign was a medium-tension mattress with a latex core. The listing now shows 1400 pocket springs under a Talalay latex pillow top. It also has a hypoallergenic knitted cover to help keep you allergy free. This mattress now has an overall depth of 31cm and is suitable for all types of bed base, including divan beds.

Dunlopillo use only premium quality latex in their mattresses and pillows to give a luxurious feel and the support needed for a great night's sleep. A latex core bounces back quickly and stays properly resilient, not that slow, sinking memory foam feel. Owners describe the Royal Sovereign the same way: "Supportive yet not hard", one wrote, while another praised the "great pressure relief for my hip pain". On your back, latex at this tension should keep you nicely level, but I'd expect lighter side sleepers to find the Royal Sovereign's medium tension a touch firm around the shoulder because latex pushes back rather than letting you drop in. One owner found it firm enough to buy a topper after three weeks.

The Royal Sovereign used a soft quilted cover specially designed to provide pressure relief and comfort. One owner wrote that "It is soft to the touch but supports well when you lie down", which fits: it was not a thick, pillow-top style finish, so I wouldn't expect loads of initial squish before you hit the latex. Also worth saying, at 21cm it was on the slimmer side, which is fine on a supportive base but it could look a bit lean on deeper bed frames and it wouldn't give you that big, lofty 'hotel mattress' vibe.

The mattress includes pressure relief technology, a soft to medium tension and 31cm depth. The Dunlopillo Elite Comfort 1400 is designed to be hypoallergenic and is approved by the National Bed Federation. Guaranteed for 15 years.

For me personally, the Royal Sovereign sat in the good bracket if you like a cleaner, bouncier feel and you want something that stays supportive without loads of fuss. If you're after loads of sink-in softness, or you share a bed and are sensitive to movement, latex can feel a bit lively compared to a calmer pocket spring and foam combo, and at that sort of price I'd also have liked to see a bit more depth or a more substantial comfort layer.

How it scores
of the Dunlopillo Elite Comfort 1400 Pocket Pillow Top Mattress
Scored from the build and owner reviews: each measure starts from how this construction usually performs, then moves with what owners of this mattress report against owners of similar mattresses.

Suitability

  • Back Sleepers 4/5
  • 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 4.5/5
  • 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 3.5/5
  • 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 5/5
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress 4.5/5
  • 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 3.5/5
  • 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
  • This is based on community driven customer reviews tied to product reviews and grouped together at a brand level to produce a score.

I first had a new Dunlopillo mattress (bed) in 1984 and I slept comfortably everafter. I reluctantly had to get rid in 1912 as i was downsizing and moving many miles down south taking only the two single beds in my spare room , which had nothing wrong with them but not as comfortable as I thought. I decided to return to what I knew and I'm so glad I did, my new mattress is heavenly!

For someone with a weak back and a tendency for sore joints this provides a good balance between back support and comfort. It is soft to the touch but supports well when you lie down. It needs a slatted base for ventilation.

I had one many years ago which I believe was layers of latex rubber. It was excellent. I have had this one for some weeks now and it is very satisfactory. However, I am unsure whether it is made the same way.

- Very comfortable;- High quality (seems like it will last for years and years);- Good temperature control (if you struggle with the heat from memory foam then you'll probably find latex much better).

Good Points: For someone with a weak back and a tendency for sore joints this provides a good balance between back support and comfort. It is soft to the touch but supports well when you lie down. It needs a slatted base for ventilation. Improvement Points: It is heavy and has no handles, so it is difficult to carry. Our old Dunlopillo mattress had a proper upholstered cover with handles. Even with the best discount it is expensive.
