Why should you choose this mattress?
The gel-infused layer is designed to dissipate excess body heat, which makes it a sensible pick if you tend to sleep warm. The pillowtop adds extra upholstered filling, so the surface feels softer than the medium-to-firm rating suggests. Underneath, individually wrapped pocket springs give the support, and a high-density foam border runs round the edge for edge-to-edge support, so sitting or sleeping near the side should feel steadier. It suits most back and combination sleepers, although very light side sleepers may want something softer. Archers Sleepcentre also offers its own comfort trial, with conditions to check.
Key features & layer details
Pillowtop
Additional layers of upholstered filling that create a softer, more comfortable surface. It takes the edge off the medium-to-firm feel without changing the rating.
Gel layer
A cooling gel-infused layer designed to dissipate excess body heat. That should help you stay more comfortable if you sleep warm.
Pocket springs
Rows of small-diameter pocket springs, each wrapped in its own cloth sleeve. Each spring works independently, so the support follows your body more closely.
Foam encapsulated border
A high-density foam border around the edge of the spring system. It gives edge-to-edge support, so the sides feel steadier when you sit or sleep near them.

Best suited for?
Warm sleepers
The gel-infused top layer is designed to dissipate excess body heat, which should help you stay more comfortable if you tend to sleep warm.
Back sleepers
Individually wrapped pocket springs give support that follows your body, while the pillowtop adds a softer surface over the medium-to-firm feel.
Combination sleepers
Pocket springs that work independently let the support follow you as you change position, and the pillowtop keeps the surface comfortable whichever way you turn.
Couples
A high-density foam border gives edge-to-edge support, so the sides feel steadier when you sit or sleep near them, and it comes in king and super king.
If you prefer sleeping on a very firm mattress, this might not be the best choice. It's rated medium to firm, and the pillowtop is there to soften the top. It also can't be flipped, only rotated head to toe, so if you like turning a mattress over for even wear, this one won't allow it.
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.

FAQ's
How firm is the Sweet Dreams Lumina Gel Pocket 1000 Pillowtop?
Sweet Dreams rates it medium to firm. The pillowtop makes the surface feel softer, so it suits sleepers who want firm support with some cushioning, but not anyone after a very firm or very soft feel.
What sizes does the Sweet Dreams Lumina Gel Pocket 1000 Pillowtop come in?
It comes in a UK small double, UK double, UK king and UK super king. There's no UK single option, so it won't suit a single bed.
How deep is the Sweet Dreams Lumina Gel Pocket 1000 Pillowtop?
Archers Sleepcentre gives a depth of 32cm for the UK small double. It doesn't state a depth for the other sizes, so check before buying if your bed frame or fitted sheets are depth-sensitive.
Is the Sweet Dreams Lumina Gel Pocket 1000 Pillowtop good for hot sleepers?
It's a reasonable choice. The gel-infused layer is designed to dissipate excess body heat, although that's a design aim rather than a promise you'll stay cool all night, especially with a pillowtop on top.
Does the Sweet Dreams Lumina Gel Pocket 1000 Pillowtop come with a trial or guarantee?
It has a 5-year guarantee, and Archers Sleepcentre offers its own comfort trial. The trial has conditions, including using a mattress protector, so read Archers Sleepcentre's terms before you buy.
