About Dreams 1600 pocket mattress
Hello, After trying many mattresses, I’ve concluded that one of the preferred options is the Macmillan 1600 pocket sprung from Dreams. Clearly it’s one that they’ve branded as their own from a different type as I can’t find anything other than Dreams-related about the mattress. From what I can see it’s a 1600 pocket spring dual sided mattress. Do you have any thoughts on what other makes may align to this mattress?
Many thanks. GOAS .
Hi GOAS.
Thank you for your question. The Macmillan is currently £899 (KS – Jan 2012) I would say that our Artisan Naturals at £895 (KS – Jan 2012) is a considerably better buy. Even the quality of our spring unit alone should be enough to convince you of this (ours being hand formed calico encased pocket springs). Everything else is a bonus. As a side note, Dreams tells you that the Macmillan KS has an RRP of £1149. Read this post on Sale Prices and RRPs. Where on earth this figure came from and how it can be justified to this particular mattress I do not know and I would hazard a guess that no-one in Dreams will be able to warrant it either.
In order for you to do a direct comparison between ours and The Macmillan you really do need to know the answers to the following two questions: 1. Is it Hand Side Stitched? 2. What are the fillings breakdown by component and GSM (grams per square meter)? We take it for granted that the spring unit will be a mass produced unit and certainly not hand formed / calico encased. You would also need to know the spring tension, this should be based on your body weight(s) to give you the correct level of support.
| Bodyweight | Spring tension |
|---|---|
| Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kg | Medium (1.4mm) |
| 16 Stone / 101kg Upwards | Firm (1.6mm) |
| Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call) | Soft (1.2mm) |
We also list our component parts in great detail – you are welcome to print these off and ask the salesman at Dreams if they have a comparable model – assuming they actually understand what it is you are showing them.
If you would like to discuss the suitability of any of our mattresses please do not hesitate to contact our friendly team on 0161 437 4419 who would be happy to help. Our office hours are 8 am – 8 pm Monday to Friday and 10 am – 4 pm Saturday and Sunday.
