What Makes It Great

I'm really quite surprised reading other reviews that say how great this mattress is. All I can say is that I was perhaps unlucky with this particular one. Initially I found the mattress really comfy - perfect support and firmness. And then after about a month, I noticed that the mattress began to dip in the middle (and at 52kg, it's hardly my weight that was the issue!). As I have the bed to myself, I tried sleeping further to the other side, but still found that come the morning, I was rolling out of a slight dip which started to bring on lower back pain. I tried turning the mattress, but still, this dip returned. I have a sturdy, quality wooden-slat bed frame, so the problem was nothing other than the mattress itself. After 3 months I could no longer stand it, and called Dreams to complain. As it's well within their 6-month return policy they agreed to send someone to inspect it (as per their policy). However, the inspector noted the concave feature as a clear fault of the product. I am now looking to select a new mattress, but I'm not sure whether to pay attention to the reviews, as the Regatta mattress couldn't have been given anything more than 1 star from me, I'm afraid!

Comfort Grade - Firm

If you find yourself suffering from back pain then you may want to look at an orthopaedic (fancy word for firm) mattress like this one here. Firmer surfaces put less stress on muscles while sleeping which might be exactly what you need to help your back

Rotate Regularly - Rotate head to toe weekly for the first three months, then every month thereafter

Your mattress should be rotated on a regular basis as this is the easiest way to prolong and increase the longevity of your mattress. The main benefits to regularly rotating your mattress is the continued support and comfort while reducing any risk of sagging that may otherwise occur

Made in the UK

These are made and manufactured in the UK, meaning that they all meet the same exceptional quality and durability that we expect from genuine UK manufacturing.

Quality soft-touch damask 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

1 year guarantee

1 year guarantee is typical for the industry. This means you are guaranteed to have a trouble free experience for the first year or have your product replaced

800 pocket springs (King)

800 Pocket springs is a compromise. It is a far better choice than an equivilent open coil product but is a little on the low end in terms of the volume of springs. Support should be acceptable, but if there is an option for 1000+ at a similar price, it is worthy of paying a little bit extra

Great bed and great service

Apart from not having a swifter delivery date for my order I am completely delighted with both the product and the service. I had problems placing the order because the website would not take my phone number. I called and had a long but very helpful conversation and was able to complete it. Dreams sent me a reminder the day before and on the day of delivery that it was coming and the driver called me to confirm that he would arrive as arranged. When he and his colleague arrived, they were great in terms of their care, friendliness and helpfulness as they man handled the old mattress out and the new one in. Much more than just delivery men. We are now sleeping sweetly on our new purchase. Thanks for a job well done Dreams!

Comfort all the way

I've used this mattress for about a week now and I must say it's really comfortable. It's really great to sleep on. For some reason even though it's the same size has my previous mattress (king size), it fitted smaller into my bed frame therefore leaving gaps at either the top or bottom of my bed frame. The only downside that I found was that the edges of the mattress weren't as firm as the rest of the mattress

5

Fantastic sleep!

I bought this during a Black Friday sale, and saved a couple of hundred off the usual price. I was made up with the price I paid, but having slept on this mattress for a couple of weeks, the quality of sleep I've been getting is worth so much more! It's been amazing to rediscover the joys of waking up in the morning feeling refreshed, with no back pain or stiff neck. Absolutely made up with this purchase! :D

5

Comfy mattress

I bought this product for a friend who was moving into a studio apartment and quickly needed a firm mattress to go with the furniture he had bought. Having now slept on the mattress for two weeks, he has said that it's the best mattress he's ever slept on and is now sleeping through the night, which he hadn't done for a couple of years.

Waste

It’s a waste of time and unhealthy I have severed back and knees pain so I need to use firm mattress only that’s why I ordered this one but unfortunately it made me worse I got more pain and I had to ask for help to get up because it’s soft not firm Very disappointed I asked to send it back The other ones firmer but soo expensive

5

EXCEDES EXPECTATIONS

Bought the Monroe mattress just over two weeks ago for a 'guest bed', thinking that its specification of pocket springs etc., would be ok for the occasional use, but was very surprised with just how firm and comfortable it is. My sister-in-law, the first user thought that it was better than her own mattress at home!

4

Good price and delivery but ....

Price couldn't be beaten and it's comfortable. However I'm disappointed by the lack of firmness at the the edges compared with the quite old one it replaced so there's a risk of slipping off the edge! This is my fault but the mattress type wasn't in the showroom so I really didn't give this aspect a thought.

5

Really good value for money

We bought a double and a single must admit it was decided on price and the telephone operative checked the measurements for us and the most economical on offer took about 5 minutes to choose! However it has been a very good choice the mattresses are so comfortable and the service and advice was first rate.

5

Great mattress

We bought this mattress a few weeks ago and we were surprised when we received it because it was a lot firmer than we expected but it is very comfortable. We have both been sleeping well on it and are very happy with the quality of the mattress. It holds up its shape and is very confortable yet sturdy.

1

Poor

I bought this mattress the other month thinking I made the correct choice. It's meant to be firm, which is the complete opposite. Yes you don't roll together but instead you roll off the edge as there is no support . Would not recommended this to anyone that's needs a firm supporting mattress.

5

Comfortable mattress

I bought this a month ago and think it’s a really comfortable and good quality mattress. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good a quality as it is. I always get mattresses from Dreams as they are long lasting. I got this when it was in the sale so a very good discount. Recommend this mattress.

4

Does the job

Does the job, it’s in our spare room and there’s been no complaints from visitors, we tried it ourselves one night and it feels a bit high in the middle, so there is a little feeling like you might roll off the side of the bed, but that will probably gononce it’s been used a few more times

4

Lovely firm mattress, good night's sleep

Had the mattress for 3 weeks and no complains. Nice firm mattress with a pleasant enough design. Bought whilst on sale, purchased at excellent value. Glad I went with Dreams as their telephone sales & delivery services were great. Would recommend product and retailer to others.

3

Softly does it ...

Mattress was a lot softer than I was expecting in light of the specification listed on the website. I bought it for its supposed supportive qualities but haven't really felt the benefit yet. It may be that my body is having to adjust to the new bed but .....

5

excellent, very happy with it

i bought this on sale as it was the lowest priced pocket sprung mattress available and i did have my doubts if it would be good or would it be too hard, but happy to say it's really comfortable and i've been sleeping soundly on it. 10/10 would reccommend

1

uncomfortable

Had for 2 weeks and it has lost its shape already. I am the only person using the mattress and I weigh less than 8 stone. I wasn't expecting it to be amazing as the mattress was cheap but I did not expect it to be so poor. I'm very disappointed.

5

Restful Regatta

I have never slept so well! The mattress is so soft and padded on the top but deliciously firm underneath that I get a deep and restful sleep. It's so comfortable that I've ordered single ones for the kids. I would recommend it to everyone.

5

Great mattress for a great price!

I bought his just under a month ago and haven't regretted it at all! I had moved house and felt like buying a new mattress as mine was getting on a bit. Super comfortable and had some of the best sleep in years. Couldn't recommend enough!

5

So Light

I am extremely happy with my new mattress. I bought the firm one which is just what I needed. The best feature is that it is light and I am able to turn it on my own. My previous mattress was so heavy that I couldn't lift it at all.

4

Comfortable mattress

I bought this a few weeks ago and it is very comfy. Brilliant communication for delivery and the man who delivered it was very helpful and friendly. My only issue is that the sides of mattress when you sit on it are not that firm.

5

5 star purchase

This mattress is extremely well made, very comfortable & I have enjoyed a good nights sleep every night since it was delivered, I chose the firm option and its perfect, thoroughly recommend, also great to purchase while on offer.

4

Very comfortable

I got this mattress last week for me and my boyfriend. We are very different weights and sizes however the mattress is comfy for us both. I have a bad back but this has been alot better for me than my previous mattress was.

4

Sweet Dreams

This is the second dreams mattress I have bought. I need a really firm mattress because of arthritis, and no other bedding company that I know of supplies really firm ones. Dreams give me "sweet dreams" every night.

4

New Mattress

My old mattress was over 15 years old! I bought this mattress 2 weeks ago and am so glad I did. It gives me all the support I need. Although slightly smaller than my old mattress, that doesn't cause any problems.

5

Great value

Bought this for spare room, unfortunately my guests didn’t arrive, so hasn’t been trialed properly yet! But I can say that I fell asleep on it after making up the bedroom and can say it was really comfortable!!!!

5

Mattress review

I brought the mattress a few weeks ago and it's the best mattress I've ever had so comfitable but firm at the same time I've slept better on this mattress I would go as far to recommend it to others thanks dream

Bought this a few weeks ago as it was advertised as a good support especially for back sufferers. My back has been worse since I had it. Good quality mattress but for me hasn't done what it said on the tin.

5

Great purchase

I am happy with the purchase of this mattress. I preferred a firm mattress, as because of my back issues I find springy mattress to leave me in slight pain in mornings. This was a good choice for me.

4

Great purchase

I brought this mattress last month and I'm very happy with it. Great quality at a good price. The only thing I'd say is that the lead times for delivery are very long, however it was worth the wait.

5

Really good product

I bought this mattress to suit the new bed that I also bought from Dreams and it fits perfectly! The mattress is so comfy and I’m really happy we managed to get a mattress this good for the price.

5

So comfortable!

We have had our mattress for a month now and what a difference it has made! It is so supportive and our aches and pains have now vanished. Worth every penny as you cannot put a price on comfort!

5

So comfy!

I chose a firm mattress this time as my old memory foam mattress caused a lot of aches and pains during the night. I am glad I did as it is super comfortable and I get a far better night's sleep.

4

Good Mattress

I bought this product about a month ago. It is quite good for I paid for it. However, The mattress edges tend to be a little soft and if you are not careful you can fall off the edge of the bed.

3

Wish I could have tried it first

Service and online purchase not a problem but think it would be wise to try a mattress before you actually buy one online. This one was a little too firm.

on line purchase

I would never buy a mattress on line again, I have no problem withn Dreams but I obviously made a poor choice
