Dream Team Fakenham Pocket Sprung Mattress

Assessed from Dream Team's published specification for this mattress, captured November 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.

The main draw is the extra-firm feel, which gives a flat, solid surface with very little sink. The individually wrapped pocket springs mean each one moves on its own, so the support follows your body rather than working as one sheet. The soft-touch damask cover is pleasant against the skin, and the fully antibacterial finish is handy if you like a cleaner-feeling bed. Traditional tufting and UK manufacture point to a carefully made mattress. It suits back sleepers and anyone who likes a hard bed, although you should be sure you want that much firmness.

Back sleepers

Budget buyers
Described as an affordable option, it pairs individually wrapped pocket springs with a soft-touch damask cover, so you get a traditionally made UK mattress without a high outlay.

Allergy sufferers
The fully antibacterial finish suits those who like a cleaner-feeling bed, and the soft-touch damask cover feels pleasant against the skin.

If you prefer sleeping on a soft or medium mattress, this might not be the best choice. It's rated extra firm, so side sleepers and lighter people may find it hard at the shoulders and hips. At 22cm it's also not especially deep, and Dream Team doesn't publish a layer breakdown, so you can't check what sits above the springs.

How firm is the Dream Team Fakenham Pocket Sprung Mattress?

It's rated extra firm, and Dream Team's own page calls it very firm. That suits people who want a hard, flat surface. If you like a bit of give, a medium mattress is a safer choice.

Is the Dream Team Fakenham Pocket Sprung Mattress good for side sleepers?

Probably not for most. An extra-firm surface leaves little room for your shoulders and hips to sink in, so side sleepers, especially lighter ones, may find it uncomfortable. Back sleepers are the better match.

How deep is the Dream Team Fakenham Pocket Sprung Mattress?

It's 22cm deep. That's a fairly slim profile, so it should sit comfortably on most bed frames, though you should check your frame's recommended mattress depth before ordering.

How many springs does the Dream Team Fakenham Pocket Sprung Mattress have?

The king has 1015 individually wrapped pocket springs. Dream Team doesn't state counts for the other sizes, so don't assume the same number applies to a single or double.

Does the Dream Team Fakenham Pocket Sprung Mattress come with a trial?

Yes. Dreams offers a 100-night comfort trial on it, so you can sleep on it at home before deciding. Check Dreams' own terms before you order, as they set the conditions.
