Pros & Cons

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 a decade of industry insight.

Ultra-premium from a exclusive range unique to Dreams comes an amazing 4450 pocket springs that will contour to each and every part of your body.

Both soft and medium options available to satisfy both markets.

Price point and delivery times both good considering the quality on offer.

All UK sizes available at time of writing.

There are those that prefer traditional toppers to pillow tops and as such pillow tops can be somewhat divisive. Personally, I find them great provided you rotate in line with manufacturer care guide instructions. Failure to follow rotation guidelines may result in uneven settlement which creates dipping. Dipping is more of a risk when you have effectively two comfort layers instead of one. There is reward, but risk too so make sure you keep on top of it.

Why our sleep experts loved it

Today we're looking at something really special. The Natures Finest 4450 Pillow Top Mattress is one of the more popular in the distinguished and well-regarded Flaxby range and made by renowned Harrison Spinks on behalf of Dreams.

When it comes to making a good mattress a few things must hold true in the support and comfort layers of a mattress, and being priced as keenly as this one, it's going to be important Flaxby get it right. So let's see what they've put together underneath that luxurious mattress cover...

Starting with the support layer and we're working with an impressive 4450 individual pocket springs, including exclusive DNAir pocket springs. This looks to be a combination hybrid between traditional pocket springs and a firm of micro spring layer that will sit above. The benefit of a model like the proposed is that you get more springs, more bounce back and more support. The slight downside to this set up may come in the form of it's weight whereby the more springs you add to the mattress the heavier it becomes. This is compounded by the recommendation to rotate head to toe regularly to help ensure adequate and even settlement of springs and fillings. That said, Flaxby have covered for this eventuality by including quality grips on both sides of the mattress to help make turning a bit easier. Definitely do not be put off by the weight, it's the price you pay for quality.

The support layer also comes in a variety of different firmness grades, ensuring that this mattress really is suitable for everyone.

Onto the comfort layer and you have a sumptuous pillow top and upper layer made up of generous helpings of Natural cotton, wool & hemp fillings. While exact quantities of each are not provided, it is clear from pictures and depth that we are dealing with generous quantities of all. Dreams do not make specific mention of anti-allergy, nor breathability but traditionally with this natural makeup it is not uncommon to find the mattress breathable and thereby cooling, preventing you from getting too hot while you sleep, and also proving to be hypoallergenic.

For the icing on the cake, this mattress comes with an impress 5 year guarantee which will help inspire further confidence for the consumer. After all, with the average life expectancy of a mattress pegged at around 7 years, you're getting near lifetime protection against defects or other issues which may crop up. That said, from a brand as reliable and well known as flaxby, the likelihood remains slim. Regardless though, the guarantee represents the confidence that both the retailer and supplier both have in what is sure to be a customer favourite.

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

    ★★★★★
  • 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.

Having tried countless mattresses in the past, nothing compares to the indulgence experienced with the Flaxby Masters Guild 4450 Pillow Top Mattress. The unique DNAir springs provide not just support but a heavenly sink-in feeling that instantly soothes any aches. However, I must admit, I did find the mattress to be a bit on the firm side initially, but it gradually adapts to your body's contours. Just don't expect instant softness!

Jolly good purchase this Flaxby Masters Guild 4450 Pillow Top Mattress The overall comfort it gives is splendid. Its the pillow top add-on that makes me feel like Im sleeping on a cloud However, it did produce a subtle farm-like smell at first due to the natural wool but it gradually faded away. Quite satisfied

I was extremely dubious about purchasing this mattress and had been looking at the reviews for a good couple of months before taking the plunge. I went in Dreams several times to lay on it and make sure I wasn't making any bad decisions. It felt like the mattress was just hugging you right back when you laid on it! Good support in the lower back area too as I have a permanent slipped disc and spinal arthritis so I had to be 110% certain I was getting the right mattress. I have now had this mattress for over two months. My patter goes like this: sleep on one side for 7 days, then sleep on the other side. Then rotate the mattress and repeat the first steps. It is quite heavy to rotate but I'm just relieved I have finally found the perfect mattress again after 13 years of agony and going through about 5 different mattresses! There is no dipping as I rotate the mattress regularly - I am only 9st just over so not really big enough to be making the bed dip. I have a mattress protector on the bed, and use medium pillows. I am sleeping like a dream. I now manage to have nights where I sleep right through without waking for the loo or with pain! I no longer wake up with back pain anymore. I really am one happy lady! Would definitely recommend this mattress to others BUT if you are on the larger side, go for a firm it will soften over time, as seen other reviews saying this mattress dips so I guess if your on the heavy side you may or may not have an issue. Have attached pictures of when I first got the mattress compared with 3 months later and as you can see, no dips and looks just as good. I also bought the bed frame from dreams too.

I did a lot of research to find the right mattress. After a lengthy period hunting, I came across this model within the Flaxby range. It has everything that my partner and I were looking for. We had put up with our previous mattress for far too long so we decided to make an investment. We have not been disappointment at all. Considering that this only comes in either a medium/firm or firm, I was surprised at just how comfortable the medium/firm actually is. We sink into it. The pillow top does help. We've only had the mattress a few nights and know that we are getting the best sleep ever as it is a world famous Harrison Spinks. The mattress is a lot taller than our old one, and I was worried that the sheets wouldn't fit as a result and we would have to by king size sheets, but everything fits perfectly. Oh, aches and pains in my neck have vanished. Suffering with pains when you wake up, then do yourself a favour and get a Flaxby. You will not be disappointed. Hand made is BEST made.

For a handmade mattress, this is an amazing mattress, unfortunately it doesn't completely fit my daughter's double bed, it's like it's slightly smaller than a double mattress, it falls slightly shorter in length and width. (By an inch or so). Also, where it has the topper part on it, the mattress protectors and fitted sheets don't fit or sit well on it. This being said, the comfort, well that is great, my daughter can finally sleep well, she suffers with hypermobility and she is finally sleeping without pain in her joints.

Very pleased with my purchase, was sceptical parting with my money especially with only trying it for a short while instore. We were sold on the mattress description and association with Harrison Spinks. The mattress was dispatched within the quoted timeframe and the delivery men were superb. Have been sleeping on the mattress for 3 weeks and have had no issues, its come exactly as described , weve rotated it weekly as per the instructions and can see us being happy for many sleeps ahead.

We tried the memory foam. They did not agree with us at all. Ordered the Flaxby - which you can customise. Not looked back. Firm mattress with a built in topper. I can sit up in bed to read AND have a hot water bottle in winter - you cant do that in a (full-on) memory foam. Slightly more transference of movement in this mattress but we had a king size made of 2 singles which has helped a lot. The mattress has also received the cats seal of approval!

Walked into the Lakeside store to see what was available and in no rush as it was for a spare room still being decorated. Sophie in the store asked if she could help and in hindsight she certainly did. I tried a good many mattresses that she suggested based on the "Test Bed" outcome. The last I tried was noticeably better than the rest. No surprise it was the most expensive but Sophie sent the details to my email and I was away to think about it. Its a spare room after all. Likely gets used once per year! A few weeks went by and a call one evening from Sophie to tell me there was an offer on this matrass. I decided to purchase and went to the store the next day to finalise and pay. I decided that it made sense to put my mattress on the spare bed, its only a couple of years old, and then have the new one on my bed. Smart thinking as it turns out. When the new mattress arrived the delivery guys were first class, helpful, care full and very friendly. I was impressed that they put shoe covers over their shoes and had the thing in place in no time. Since using it for the past 3 weeks I have to say I have slept better than ever before. I look forward to going to bed now. Its the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on by far. So thus far after a few weeks I am very pleased with the entire process and the end outcome. Perfect!

We took several months doing research and trying out mattresses before we finally chose the Flabby 4450 Pillow top mattress. We had initially avoided a pillow top because the most common criticism of these, along with some non pillow top natural fibre mattresses, is that they soon dip and cannot recover as most memory foam products do. We had also avoided the 'rotate only' one sided mattress as our last mattress deteriorated largely due to the cover fabric wearing out, so we thought if we had one that had to be turned over it might last twice as long. So having taken a very long time to decide on our preferred construction etc. we happened to try the Flaxby whilst visiting Dreams to try a completely different mattress and just fell in love with it. We've had it for 3 weeks now and have never slept better. We know that it may dip over time but we are hoping that won't affect our enjoyment of it. We can't comment at this point whether it might be too hot in summer but at the moment it is just right for us, not too soft, not too hard and very supportive. It's also noticeable that the edges are very firmly sprung so if you sit on the bed to put your socks on, you don't slip off as you do on some other mattresses. All round very happy with it so far.

I purchased this mattress in September 2021 as being fully compatible with the Sleepmotion 400i bed. I was asked by the contractor who assembled my bed why I purchased this mattress as it was not compatible with the Sleepmotion bed. I contacted Harrison Spinks, the manufacturer of this mattress and received the following response: Thank you for sending the photos, we would not recommend one of our mattresses to be raised at the foot end or in the center. We would be able to accommodate a 45% lift at the head end only. I contacted Dreams customer services back in early October with this advise from Harrison Spinks. Dreams promised to investigate. They offered for me to get a different mattress but I like this mattress and I want to know WHY they continue to sell it as fully compatible with the Sleepmotion bed when the manufacturers advise that the mattress is NOT compatible. I have tried for two solid months to get an answer from Dreams and they just ignore my emails. Please do get in touch with Dreams as using the mattress outside of the recommended usage could have an impact on any guarantee as we cannnot cover usage outside of that which we recommend.

Gone are the mornings filled with aches and pains! Since switching to the Flaxby Master's Guild 4450 Pillow Top Mattress, I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day. This mattress is a dream. The pillow top offers incredible comfort, while the supportive core ensures proper alignment. No matter how I toss and turn, I wake up feeling rested. A big win for me is the use of natural materials. Cotton, wool, and hemp keep me cool throughout the night no more waking up sweaty! Plus, the sustainable aspect makes it an even better choice. The quality construction, with recyclable Cortec springs, assures me this mattress will be my sleep sanctuary for years to come. If you're looking for a luxurious, supportive mattress that promotes cool, restful sleep, the Flaxby Master's Guild 4450 Pillow Top is the answer. It's an investment in better sleep and overall well-being highly recommended!

When I lay down on Natures Finest 4450 mattress in the store, I made the immediate decision to buy one as it was so soft and comfortable - even though it was way beyond the ceiling I had decided upon for price. I had high hopes for the wonderful nights sleep I would have, as I have been suffering from insomnia for a long time. So my first night was a great disappointment- as were the subsequent nights until after a week, I returned to the store to voice my concerns. I found the mattress very hard and uncomfortable. The sales person assured me that I was far too early in my judgement and that I should sleep on the mattress for at least a month before taking advantage of the exchange policy that Dreams have. I am very pleased to report that having had the mattress now for a little over two weeks, it has become much softer and I am enjoying a good nights sleep at last.

naming this mattress Natures finest doesn't give it enough credit i have never felt better when i wake up. I always thought i was a miserable non morning person as a personality trait, however since i have been sleeping on this mattress it turns out the last statement was correct but due to never having the right sleep. Since i have been sleeping on this mattress my back pain hasn't just improved its completely gone in just 3 months which i would have described 3 months ago as a miracle. Also to point out that i have never has a cooler sleep and no longer need to kick off the duvet and kick my wife away whilst sleeping. As i sleep on my side mostly I feel it offers superior comfort and pressure relief which i might have expected from something with foam in. well done and Thank you Flaxby and Dreams you have changed my life for the better.

Me & my husband decided to go for this mattress after some awful nights sleeping on memory foam mattresses. I was a little sceptical as I don't like the look of quilted tops and prefer the smooth look of a memory foam (but couldn't get comfortable!) So I agreed to give this a try, the first one did have to go back as one of the handles had been missed off the side when manufactured, but Dreams were great and got this sorted for us. We have now been sleeping on it for several months and I am so pleased with it, very comfortable and don't over heat in it at all, soft but still supportive. This was definitely more than we have ever spent on a mattress before but so far so good! The only thing is I do think it smells of the natural fibres (sheep!) but my husband says that he doesn't smell anything at all, so maybe it is just me!

Im a reluctant shopper , but this purchase has literally been lifechanging. My previous last two mattresses ( bad choice and then worse one), made me feel me and a comfy night would remain far apart .. till the proper advice and attention I received at the Dreams unit. I was shown patience and attention and as a disabled older women with constant pain I was crabby and disbelieving that a mattress could change that. OH HOW WRONG I WAS its brilliant ! Utterly lovely. I had not been able to sit up in bed for a read or cup of tea without pain for years and slept 4 hours on a good night. Seriously now Im sleeping 8 hours !!! I feel years YEARS younger. Best ever and Grace agrees .

Having decided to spend a lot more than any time in the past on a new mattress as I was not sleeping well or waking up stiff and sore, I was hoping that changing my mattress would result in a miraculous improvement in my sleep comfort and quality. The reality is that I am still getting used to it. The mattress is slightly more comfortable than my last one. I am concerned it may be a bit soft for me and it seems to hold the dip after I have sat up reading before going to sleep. Also I initially found the 'natural pillow top' a little warm but as the weather is chilling off I am getting more used to it.

We purchased the soft option of the Flaxby 4450 which was the comfiest mattress we tried in store - I can confirm after two weeks of usage I have never slept better - first morning I woke up with no neck, back or shoulder pain for the first time in years. I had suffered from slight pain in these areas and it just confirms that I have been using inadequate mattresses previously (a very expensive Tempur mattress which I dont rate at all, and my wife grew to dislike over the past couple of years). The Flaxby mattress is superior and worth the cost (how can you put a cost on sleep)

It's been 3 months since my purchase. I opted for the firm option as I sleep on my belly but may flip to my back. I have experienced no back pain and slept quiet comfortably since. Even though it came much firmer than the one I tried at the store, the pillow top gives it a cushony surface while still feeling dense at the bottom. I am still meant to rotate it but there are no dips. One note is that it does have an initial barn scent due to its natural fibers, so be aware if you are super sensitive. Otherwise, it looks like in magazines and feels just as premium.

We decided to purchase a new mattress from Dreams using their Sleepmatch technology, partly because our existing mattress was very old but mainly because my wife had been suffering badly with sciatica for months and nothing she had tried was improving the problem. Our new mattress was designed with different specifications on each side to suit our sleeping requirements. We can't categorically say that it is as a result of the mattress but the sciatica has completely resolved since we received the mattress and we are both sleeping soundly. Thank you Dreams!

Have chosen firm mattress, after testing a several ones in store (previous mattress I had was medium). Sleeping on it for a first few days was a bit difficult to be honest, as it was brand new, very firm and as the leaflet says- it needed to get to know me, my weight and sleeping patterns. After about a week, mattress has adjusted to my body and sleeping on it started to feel comfortable. Its been a month since purchasing, I can only say that this mattress is well designed and I dont have any issues regarding firmness or sleeping comfort.

My husband and I selected this mattress after trying Sleepmatch in-store, and it was definitely the right choice for us. We were really interested in the UK-sourced natural fillings and recyclable springs, but are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and weighty the mattress is. Its incredibly deep so you can definitely see and feel the quality. There is a slight odour from the sheeps wool - think farmyard! - but thats worn off after a few weeks. Would definitely recommend to anyone for a great all-round choice. Worth the investment!

I can honestly say 3 years I have been debating to get a new mattress and I finally took the plunge this January. I went into store and the service I received from the sales lady was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble. Talked me through everything! I was torn between two and am I glad I opted for this one. I am a long term back sufferer and this mattress has been a game changer. So comfortable and well worth every penny! Its like sleeping in a 5 star hotel every evening. Thanks Dreams one of my best purchases for a long time!

Most comfortable mattress Ive ever had, my last one was great but had a memory foam top that used to make me sweat a lot. The wool in this is comfy, supportive and cushioning but doesnt hold heat, it keeps your temperature really even at night. The fact the materials are all natural must have a lot to do with this, I like that its environmentally friendly too. At first it smelled quite strongly of sheep wool, the smell has mostly gone now and I miss it! Made me feel like a shepherd with my own flock counting me to sleep

Thrilled to bits with my new mattress. I feel my my whole body from head to toes completely supported, no more aching from sagging underneath my back. And my knees in particular feel more comfortable too. I never knew how badly I needed this until a friend recently got a new mattress and said they need changing every 8 - 10 yes. I had put my aching body down to having an 83 year old body! Thank you too Dreams for delivering my large mattress through tight corners with professional skill and your enthusiasm and care

I spent a long time deciding on a mattress, before choosing the Flaxby 4450. Took a week or so to get used to it, but now, after 4 weeks, it feels more like mine. The main pros areexcellent quality and it offers good support whilst still feeling comfy (I chose Medium). The main cons areits heavy and needs turning every week initially, and even with a mattress protector on, Im sometimes aware of the dips where the tufts are. But overall, I like the mattress, am happy with the choice I made, and recommend it.

**Subject: Regarding recent purchase** I am writing to express my satisfaction with the recent purchase. The new bed, a king size, has exceeded my expectations. I found the built-in side tables to be a very convenient addition to the product. Moreover, the comfort level has significantly improved my sleep quality. The delivery and assembly process was handled efficiently and professionally. I would highly recommend this bed to anyone seeking a good night's sleep. I am truly pleased with the overall experience.

Honest review. Absolutely fantastic, the best mattress i have ever tried, a tad expensive but honestly the price is shown in the comfort and the quality of the mattress, even the guy putting the bed up said this is one of the best mattresses we could of brought for our bed and said he has one personally and its the best sleep hes had, and he was not lying it is so comfy and it has 2 different firmnesses so if you and your partner prefer a different firmness this is the mattress for you. 100000% recommend

I bought this mattress after trying it out in store. It's a beautifully made mattress and clearly very high quality. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I made the right choice and am considering returning it. At the time of purchase I was torn between medium and soft, and went with medium. The mattress I've got feels even firmer than the medium in store. Need to give it a bit longer before deciding whether or not to return. I'm rather disappointed right now as I was so looking forward to getting this mattress.

I have had this mattress for a few months now and honestly wish I hadn't bought it. I felt amazing in the shop but as I've slept on it, an indentation of my body has quite quickly formed. Also, the more I sleep on it, the more dense and firm it feels which is just not comfortable. Also, because it has a pillow top it is not flippable. I wish I had just gone with the 500 1000 spring mattress. I think they suit me better. So if you don't want to feel like you're lying in a dip, don't buy this mattress!

Whilst the mattress is comfortable, it is a lot firmer than I had originally anticipated based on the one in the store. We ordered the medium, and were warned that the mattress would need some time to "relax" when we first receive it. However, I have found the cushioned topper has relaxed insofar as it now seems to have flattened and doesn't offer the same softness that it had done previously. The outside edges also slope outwards, making the bed feel smaller, and needing thicker pillows due to this.

Genuine review, this mattress is brilliant. Every evening and every morning I think, wow. Why did I choose it? I like the fact that it's a sprung mattress (can't be doing with memory foam) but for me it was important that this mattress uses natural materials (especially wool) for the filling. It's a small thing, but sleeping on natural materials rather than oil-based, synthetic, plastic fillings is important. I'd rather sleep on something natural than something derived from oil.

A really quality product which was purchased to complement an orthopaedic bed (also purchased in store). The mattress felt so good we bought an extra one for the spare room; after all, why should our guests not benefit too? In the Shrewsbury store, Scott was extremely helpful and by no means pushy - it really was refreshing to be given genuine advice by taking our needs into consideration. Knowledgeable staff, relaxed and informed experience - we will definitely be back.

After years of disappointing memory foam I wanted to go back to a spring mattress. I picked this as my favourite whilst trying the mattresses out in store, it then came top of the list of recommended mattresses following the sleep match test in store. The test was not wrong. This is the most comfortable mattress Ive ever owned. I start thinking about it in the afternoon at work because I cant wait to get into bed. It might be my most favoured possession.

I've slept well on this mattress so am generally happy with it. But it does have a noticeable dip where I sleep so I've tried to sleep on different sides of the mattress each night to reduce this. I've also turned it (not flipped it) each week. Maybe this is part of the 'settliing' as I've been using it less than a month. Also, be aware it is a deep mattress so you may need new fitted sheets. It's also a bit of a climb to get into bed but I quite like that.

The mattress is very comfortable and and supports my lower back well. It has the right amount of sinking feeling at the same time as being supportive. The only thing I would say is that the middle zip - where the two sides join - can feel a little like you're being pulled into the middle of the mattress if you get too close to it. If you remain on each side then this doesn't happen and it isn't a major issue. overall i'm happy with the purchase.

Bought this mattress to replace another we had bought 18mths before, which was very uncomfortable. The first night sleeping on our Fixby mattress was just bliss, like sinking into a cloud. We had used the shops equipment to tell us what mattress type we needed, although we both needed different, but we settled on a medium firmness. We were both relieved that on waking up the following morning, we had no aches or pains. A fantastic purchase.

My wife could not make her mind up soft or medium, or one half soft and one half medium, we ended up with a medium mattress, she hates it, i like it BUT i have a back condition and get out of bed every morning crippled with pain, my wife says she's not had a decent night's sleep since we got it ( and yet she snores like a hippo). We only had it 3 weeks so we will need to wait and see if the comfort level gets better.

Very comfortable pillow top mattress. Slightly firmer than another medium of the same make I have, I think, but mattresses do take a little while to settle in. Deep but not the deepest so easier to find sheets to fit. Love the brand, really high standard. You get what you pay for, not the cheapest but excellent quality and comfort, recommended to family, and between us we've bought two king-size and two singles in the last few years.

I ordered this mattress online after reading the reviews. I was looking for a soft mattress to help my back. The ordering process was easy, delivery was on time, the delivery guys were friendly and helpful, paid to have my old mattress taken away so worth it. This mattress is fabulous really comfy and helped my back pain. Only issue is i dont want to get up for work in the morning as its too comfy. Highly recommend and great value.

Weve now bought another one of these online from Dreams (after buying our first one instore) for another bedroom- the mattress is so comfy! The firm pillowtop one is a great compromise for us as I like a firm mattress and husband prefers medium- the pillowtop provides the extra softness for him. Much better sleep for me than my previous memory foam, which was too hot-this feels more breathable. Expensive-but worth it!

We purchased this mattress with the hope of getting a better nights sleep for both of us. The assistance we received instore was very helpful in deciding which mattress would be best. It was delivered on time by professional workers. Having slept on it for a few weeks we have both had a better nights sleep - myself in particular. I have been able to sleep for longer periods and no longer get up in the early hours.

after not having a very good experience with another bed company and spending alot of money, I was dubious about shopping for a matress again and so soon, however the experience with Dreams was very good, from sales & products to delivery. I am very pleased with my purchase, the matress is super comfortable and I'm finally getting some sleep at last. I wish I had gone straight to Dreams the first time round.

Quite comfortable once youve got over the first week,we had a choice of three to choose from at the Yeovil store but maybe we made the wrong choice,on the comfort scale four stars but the topper is far to hot thus waking several times a night to cool down with a walk around the room,I think we should have gone for one without a topper as this mattress has no zipper to remove it,Thinking about our options.

I have been delighted with my new bed from Dreams. I have had such a good nights rest since it was installed. My very comfortable Dreams pillow also gives me great support and so no more sore neck. The team that installed the bed were very polite and efficient. All in all I can totally recommend this particular bed and Dreams itself for all their help and advice as to which mattress to choose.

The most comfortable mattress I have slept on. Despite weight difference, my partner and I find this mattress suits us both. We were surprised that the softest mattress was most comfortable. Normally we go for medium to firm. The edges of the mattress offer great support, which is often lacking in mattresses. It has eased all our aches and pains. Would certainly buy again. Worth every penny.

Overall a comfortable mattress, the pillow top makes it extra soft. However, you have to wait a while for it to soften up, the person in the store said 3 months to get to the feel of the one in store. About a month in and still waiting to get to that point. Although, still comfortable straight away. In the summer I am finding it a little warm, especially compared to the gel tops.

Pleased with mattress and finding it very comfortable. The only negatives are that I find it quite warm (my wife is happy with this aspect!) and slightly worried that a visible ridge is forming down the middle of the bed. Haven't yet noticed it when lying in the bed, so hoping it won't become a problem, but it is a something of a worry after reading other reviews.

We really looked hard for a mattress we tried so meany in dreams but kept coming back to this one. Glad we did as it dose not jiggle when my husband gets up at night which use to wake me in our old mattress. It did have funny smell but has disappeared as the care instructions said it would but I think took a bit longer than I thought. But glad we stuck with it.

This is a pillow top mattress which is the same as my previous mattress. This is definitely my favourite type of mattress. The pillow part is slightly softer than the main mattress which makes the whole mattress more comfy. You seem to sink into the pillow top part and then are held by the main part of the mattress. I would definitely recommend this mattress!

This matters is great for hip and shoulder pain. I noticed the difference the next morning, no waking up with aches and numbness. I do feel the price is rediculous for what it is 1500 for a double mattress. It is taking a while to adjust since my previous mattress was a futon style but im listened to how my body feels. This is medium firmness.

Appears to be well made. We opted for firm and comfort is good.

Very comfortable. Spent ages agonising over a few different mattresses, but so far we've been very happy with it. Only negative is that it feels smaller than our old mattress which had no pillow top. The top is smaller than the base, and the base itself is a good cm or 2 smaller than our old one, so it did feel noticeable at first.

This mattress is great for some people but gives me a little bit of lower back pain. It seems to be too soft and too rigid at the same time (which I realise makes no sense). Not entirely uncomfortable, but nothing to write home about. I know other people who sleep on it though and seem to love it! Guess it just depends on your back.

The mattress is great, only marking it down as its about 50mm narrower than the last one - maybe the old one had spread a bit?

After previously using a form mattress for health reasons i was in a position to try a medium grade. I tried many different brands in the shop and settled with this one. Mainly chosen due to the amount of springs being higher than average for more support. It is still a little firm, even though it is a medium mattress.

The matress is lovely and comfortable. The only downside is it feels rounded at the edges and you sometimes feel you are going to topple off the edge so you tend to go towards the middle more and lose some of the space of the king sized matress as you try to stay away from the edge

What does the term 'single-sided' mean in regard to this mattress

Answer: Single-sided implies that this mattress only needs to be rotated from head to foot regularly, rather than being turned over completely. This helps prevent lumps or uneven wear from forming over time, ensuring its longevity and maintained comfort.

What is the difference between zipped and non zipped

Answer: Thank you for reaching out with your question. The difference between the two is as followed:Zipped: Two mattresses in one great if you and your sleeping partner prefer different comfort grades and like to swap sides of the bed. Reduces roll together if attached and you can also use these mattresses in separate frames if needed. Provides a practical solution for getting the mattress into a house with space constraints.Non-zipped: A standard mattress with one complete sleeping surface..

Double: min 20kg / max 40kgKing: min 25kg / max 55kgThe Double sized Flaxby 4450 is 43kg, whereas the King is 50kg, so the King would be suitable, but we would not recommend using the double Flaxby 4450 on the double Acton.Many thanks,

Does the Flaxby Nature's Finest 4450 Pillow Top Mattress have a temperature regulating system like the other cooling mattresses do? I get night sweats so I want to make sure that this is cooling and not heating BecUse it has wool in the filling.

Answer: The Flaxby Nature's Finest 4450 Pillow Top Mattress is ideal for keeping you at the right temperature throughout the night. It has a 100% natural cotton cover which is more breathable than synthetic fibres. The fillings consist of wool, natural cotton and hemp, all of which are excellent at helping to wick away moisture and keep you cool.

Response to which side is medium and firm isn't helpful as there is no way of knowing which way up the mattress is. Labels/markings face both ways and there is a large label both ends. Which is top and which is bottom.

Answer: The FR blue label should be positioned at the top of the bed, centred on the head end, and facing outward when looking directly at the bed. When standing at the foot of the bed and facing the headboard: The Medium tension label should be placed on the left-hand side.The Firm tension label should be placed on the right-hand side.Many thanks,
