Why should you choose this mattress?
The hourglass open coils are designed to promote airflow and full-body support, which means a firm, steady feel that stays fairly breathable. The Platinum 3D filling is described as ultra-durable and 100% recyclable, so there's a hard-wearing comfort layer without a foam top. Traditional tufting and a soft-touch damask cover give it a classic look and feel. It's made at Birmingham Bed Factory. It suits sleepers who want a firm, traditional mattress, although anyone wanting plush cushioning may find it too unyielding.
Key features & layer details
Platinum 3D filling
An ultra-durable, 100% recyclable filling that Dreams says feels like a million tiny springs. It gives a springy, hard-wearing comfort layer on top of the coils.
Open coil springs
Hourglass-shaped coils that promote airflow and full-body support. You get a firm, supportive base that lets air move through the mattress.

Best suited for?
Back sleepers
The firm rating and hourglass open coils give full-body support, which means a solid, steady feel that suits anyone who likes to lie flat.
Warm sleepers
Open coil springs are designed to promote airflow, so air can move through the mattress and it stays fairly breathable through the night.
Eco-conscious buyers
The Platinum 3D filling is 100% recyclable and ultra-durable, giving a hard-wearing comfort layer without a foam top.
Couples
Sizes run from UK double up to super king, and the firm, supportive coil base gives two people a steady, solid surface.
If you prefer sleeping on a soft or medium mattress, this might not be the best choice. It's rated firm, and a traditional open coil build with a filling layer won't offer the deep cushioning of a thick foam top. Side sleepers who want extra give at the shoulders and hips may find it unforgiving. Dreams doesn't publish a spring count.
Save on an earlier or ex-display model
Some retailers still sell the earlier version of this mattress, or ex-display and returned stock at a lower price. These are the sizes where it costs less than the current model's best price.
