Dreams Tempur Original mattress

Dear John and Ryan.I wonder if you can advise?

Unfortunately we have already fallen foul of the Dreams trap and only wish we had found your site earlier. We bought a Tempur Original mattress for our aching backs & from them specifically because of their comfort exchange policy since the price in a king size was some £1600.It was like sleeping on a sand bag so we had it changed to their own brand 2000 pocket sprung mattress,encased in foam and with a memory foam pillow top. The first few nights were heavenly but after only three weeks the pillow top has squashed down and feels uncomfortable. It's called a Resplendant mattress and is apparently made by Nestledown who we've never heard of but cost £1400.We're told it can't be faulty so therefore not entitled to a refund & should choose something else. I don't know where to start and not sure I can trust the sales team for reliable advice as we've already been told quite conflicting things. I am 5ft 1 and weigh 7 stone,hubby is 6ft 4 and weighs 13 stone. We would prefer some type of springs/" title="pocket spring">pocket spring mattress,either with traditional fillings or perhaps with latex as superior to memory foam. We have the Tempur Aubergine base which we separately from Lee Longlands since Dreams did not have the bases in stock at the time to go with the mattress. It's essentially a platform base but with wooden slats ( so I'm told because I can't see or feel them) underneath the fabric covering. Any ideas,we have the £1800 in our minds budget wise,there are some around the price sold by Dreams which are Hypnos or Staples or Sleepeeze but am finding it difficult to find out what's actually in them since they them something different. Would be very grateful for any advice so as not to choose another disaster!

Thanks in anticipation, Sue. .

Hi Sue.

So sorry to hear of your experience.

If I read your comment correctly - are you saying that after three weeks the pillowtop on your comfort exchange mattress flattened and they refuted your complaint?

Personally, I would not accept this.

Write to Nick Worthington (MD) to express your concerns.

Dreams PLC, Knaves Beech, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire HP10 9YU.

I would be concerned that your complaint was dismissed as faultless without inspection.

If this proves fruitless or falls on deaf ears I would make arrangements to have your own independant inspection carried out ( Dancor UK) obviously if found in your favour you will be able to recoup all costs.

Although this is too late for you, we have over the years been writing about the sheer nonsense of the pillowtop design.

There is no mistaking that when new and tried in store the comfort and feel can be deemed as glorious!

In practical every night use they just do not work.

Every mattress needs the use of a topper - for protection from the bucketloads of sweat (sorry) we all perspire through the night, and to take the brunt of our weights night after night.

Changing your topper every two years or so will ensure your mattress beneath will be as good, comfortable and as clean as the day you bought it (more or less)!

For your new mattress i would recommend the Artisan Naturals.

John Ryan By Design Artisan Naturals Vi Spring Regal Superb
1 1200gsm Blended British Fleece Wool and Cotton. 900gsm Blended real Shetland Isle Fleece Wool and Cotton
2 Hairproof Cambric Cover Hairproof Cambric Cover
3 1250gsm Rebound Poly Cotton 1200gsm long stranded Horsetail blended with British Fleece Wool
4 1500gsm 100% Pure Mohair 1000gsm Bonded British Fleece Wool and Cotton
5 1600 Calico encased Pocket Springs [ 49mm ] [1.28mm ] 1720 Calico encased Pocket Springs [48mm ] [1.28mm ]
Total GSM 3950gsm 3100gsm

For your body weights you will need a soft/medium split, this can be done in kingsize and above.

There are numerous comments and replies throughout this site as to why.

If you are not happy then our guarantee is exactly as it says - from what you've experienced so far, using our guarantee if you have to will be a walk in the park.
