Flaxby Natural Hempstead Dual Season Mattress

Assessed from the specification published by dreams.co.uk, captured November 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.

The main draw is the two-sided design. The British wool side regulates temperature, and the cotton side is breathable and wicks moisture, which means you can flip it to match the weather rather than putting up with one surface all year. It's also made without glue, chemicals or foam, woven with fine British wool and built from natural fibres, so it suits anyone who wants a foam-free bed. At 35cm deep, it's a substantial mattress, and it's recyclable at the end of its life. It suits people who like the idea of a natural mattress, although you'll need to be happy flipping it with the seasons.

Allergy sufferers
Natural fibres and a build without glue, chemicals or foam suit anyone who wants a simpler, more natural bed to sleep on.

If you want to know the firmness before you buy, this might not be the best choice, as it isn't published. It's also not for anyone who wants the slow, hugging contour of memory foam, because there's no foam in it. And if you'd rather never flip a mattress, a one-sided model will be easier to live with.

How firm is the Flaxby Natural Hempstead Dual Season?

Flaxby doesn't publish a firmness for this mattress, so it's hard to say whether it will feel soft or firm to you. If firmness matters to your choice, compare it with a similar mattress whose feel is stated.

What sizes does the Flaxby Natural Hempstead Dual Season come in?

It comes in a UK single, UK small double, UK double, UK king, UK super king and UK emperor. That covers most adult beds, including the larger sizes some couples choose for extra space.

How deep is the Flaxby Natural Hempstead Dual Season?

It's 35cm deep. That's a fair amount of mattress, so check that your bed frame and any fitted sheets will cope with the height before you order.

Is the Flaxby Natural Hempstead Dual Season good for hot sleepers?

It should help, as the cotton side is breathable and wicks moisture, while the British wool side regulates temperature. You flip it to suit the season, so you can use the cotton side for warm nights.

Does the Flaxby Natural Hempstead Dual Season come with a trial?

Dreams offers a 100-night comfort guarantee on it. That's the retailer's own offer rather than Flaxby's, so check Dreams' terms for the details before you buy.
