Why our sleep experts loved it

Today we're looking at the Flaxby Natures Dawn Pocket Sprung Mattress which, as the name suggests is a high performance pocket spring mattress with some unique all-season properties that will make for a great all-year round nights sleep. Let's unpack more below.

To start, the base layer. The base layer features an impressive array of pocket springs in impressive quantities, in this instance, 2475 of them. With pocket springs it is generally a case of the more, the better with the average coming in at around 800-1000. The pocketed springs are my favourite base layer spring thanks to their impressive body contouring paired with roll together prevention and a full surface area with edge to edge support. 

The tension of the layer is a firm comfort grade which will be ideal for those who sleep on their back/stomach or are of a heavier build. We generally recommend a medium tension for those that sleep on their side but as with all mattresses, subjectiveness plays a role. One of the main benefits of the pocket spring support base is within the back pain relief offered thanks to the firmer spring tension which provides contoured and measured support across the entirety of the mattress giving great all-round support.

Onto the upper layer and as the name suggests, you have a natural and deep layer of luxurious cotton and wool, both of which are extremely soft and offset the firmer tension to give a measured response that has enough bounce back with enough sinkage. One of the key benefits of the pocket spring and natural layer is that they work hand in hand to increase breathability, this means that you won't get too warm while you sleep as airflow is massively increased. You won't be too hot, nor too cold giving you a great all-season mattress that will also be hygienic and more durable.

Much like the entirety of the Flaxby range, the Natures Dawn Pocket Sprung Mattress is produced in the UK and handmade, giving your mattress that special touch that only skilled craftsman can create.  What's more, you get a 40 night trial to see if you like it, if not you'll have the option to swap out for a different model in line with the Dreams 40-Night Sleep Guarantee and it's terms and conditions. 

The mattress is specifically produced for effective spinal alignment and pressure relief, combined with the natural and hygienic materials on offer, the product allows a comfortable nights sleep at an affordable price point.

Based on the Flaxby Nature’s Halo that we reviewed previously, this mattress is much the same but with more springs of a stronger durability for increased reliability and durability.

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.

A very comfortable & supportive firm mattress. Don't let the undulations where the 'buttons' are on the top of the mattress put you off - for me they just enhance the comfort. After nearly a month of sleeping on this mattress my early morning aches & pains in my neck & back have gone. Appears to be well made & robust and hopefully will last for some years to come. It's also quite a heavy mattress so help is needed for rotating but the handles are sturdy and easy to hold. Probably wouldn't have purchased had it not been in the sale as would have been outside of my budget. The delivery team were excellent & the mattress was placed exactly where I asked with skill and a smile - thank you. I also used the recycling service - a huge plastic cover arrived days before delivery for my old mattress with clear instructions on what to do. So I am very pleased all round. Sweet dreams!

This is the first time I invested in a pocket-spring mattress (I had foam mattresses before that) and it's like night and day (pun totally intended). This mattress is really comfortable for me who sleeps mostly on my back and a little on my side. Moreover, I had been struggling with a lingering shoulder issue for months, suspected as stemming from bad position at night; since I started sleeping on this mattress, things have improved tremendously, and the quality of my sleep as well (because I don't wane up in pain anymore). This is definitely one of the best purchases I've made in the past ten years or so.

I bought the mattress from dreams and it is the best buy I have ever made. It was a firm mattress and since having the matress, I have had no sore back. I have sciatica and this mattress has taken away all pain. Great night's sleep well worth the money and affordable. Excellent quality and service, and help from the dreams team if you need it. Quick response. On time delivery and great delivery service. I would highly recommend Dreams 100%. I'm so happy with my purchase.

Its an amazing mattress, it has cured my back problems and I am having a good nights sleep at long last. The staff member that sold us the mattress was really helpful. We had a posture test on a computer bed in the store which helped us select the right mattress! We had such good help from the staff we also purchased two memory foam pillows. Dreams . You are the best place to buy a bed and we will be back

Previously had two new beds in under four years but just could not live with both mattress being so uncomfortable that a good night's sleep was impossible, often waking up with back problems and unable to stand upright. However, at last - bliss - supreme comfort from Flaxby Nature's sprung mattress. All that dreading going to bed is a distant memory. I am a new person. So happy.

I'm hoping after settling in that it becomes softer when I tried the mattress in store seemed perfect with the new one it's far too firm unfortunately and I'm suffering with back ache. However i chose the mattress as it's made using natural materials and I think this is the best way to buy as more breathable and hopefully lasts longer than memory foam!

After getting it delivered and set up, we couldn't wait to try it out. It honestly feels like one of the most expensive mattresses ever. Had it for 1 month now, and have been rotating once a week for the first month as recommended. Can't say enough good things about it. Neither of us get too hot or cold, and you can just see the quality built into it.

My husband and I have always rolled into one another in bed and found uncomfortable. We have had the best night sleep when ever had with this new mattress and genuinely look forward to getting into bed each evening! Its firm enough that it doesnt roll, suits sleeping on front, side and back but soft enough that its nice and cosy.

This mattress is so comfortable - like sleeping on a cloud. After 4 months of broken sleep on a memory foam mattress - too hot, struggled to turn as required, constant chemically smell - I could stand it no longer and bought this mattress. Knew I should have gone to Dreams first.

We bought it second hand, so it was returned under 40 nights guarantee so we got it half price but with the risk of choosing a wrong mattress. Luckily it was perfect choice. For us this mattress is just right - medium - not too soft and not too hard.
