Massive hole formed in our pillow top mattress from Dreams
I had purchased a pillow top mattress from Dreams about 5 years ago ( Solstice D Mattress – no longer able to find this on their website ) but we recently had a look at the mattress after me and my other half have been suffering bad backs and it looks like a hole / massive dent has formed in the mattress – also just seen your review about the pillow tops so will be staying away from these now
However are you able to advise on which mattress would be suitable for us ?
We are two large people – approx 17 stone each – we are about 5ft 7 – I can see recommendations of a mattress that are approx 13-14 inchs deep
We are looking for a double mattress
We don’t like the mattresses that heat you up as we prefer a cooler bed.
We are willing to spend in the region £1000 for a good mattress – ideally one with a warranty incase the mattress collapses again as thought the solstice would give us a good 10 years
Any advise would much appreciated ?
Many thanks

Hi Chelsey,
Thanks for getting in touch.
The main objection to pillow tops come into what you are expected to pay for them and the lifespan you will get out of them. Just like a one sided mattress, you will be unable to turn it so when the pillowtop layer becomes indented and worn, you will eventually have to replace the entire mattress even though the spring support will be sufficiently OK. At this point, I must admit that Pillowtops with a Natural Latex comfort layer do not fall into this argument although price wise you will be expected to pay a lot more than for a non-pillow top version.
The Natural fibres that we use to construct our Artisan range will provide you with a cool sleep surface.
The Artisan Naturals is our most popular, unbeatable model with 85% natural fibres. Containing a huge GSM of fillings, including wool and mohair, on a Calico Pocket spring unit. This medium feel handcrafted mattress is where we stake our reputation as ‘The Mattress Specialists’. However, this model fall slightly out of your budget at £1120.00 for a Double.
The Tailored Pocket 2000 model is quite simply based on our Artisan Naturals. In order to keep the majority of natural fillings, we could only compromise on the spring unit. In this case we use an above average spunbond encased premium pocket spring unit over two tiers, coupled with the benefit of having a choice of three spring tensions to suit of Soft, Medium or Firm. Even though The Artisan Naturals is superbly priced (and of course unbeatable for quality and price ) it did fall outside many peoples budget. This Tailored Pocket model becomes the next best option. This model suits your budget at £950.00 for a Double.
The models in the Artisan range can be paired with either a soft, medium or firm spring tension. The correct spring tension is determined by the individual’s body weight.
| 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) |
If you would like to discuss the suitability of our products or if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419 to speak to one of our friendly advisors.
Kind regards,
John & Ryan
