The Simmonds Traditional Spring Mattress by Dreams Workshop is a medium comfort grade mattress designed to offer all-round support and featuring 288 traditional springs that have been layered with comforting fillings, all encased in a soft-touch damask cover. The mattress is part of the Dreams Workshop Collection and is made in the UK with a 100-Night Comfort Guarantee and a 1-year guarantee. Priced at a much lower point than competing products, this mattress has received a 4.7 out of 5-star rating based on 738 reviews. Let's dive in and see if this would be suitable one for you.
The mattress is made with traditional springs, which are generally less durable than pocket springs or reflex foam. However, the damask cover adds a layer of durability that should offer some degree of wear and tear prevention. The mattress also comes with a 1-year guarantee, which is standard but not exceptional although should offer a relative good degree of confidence.
The medium comfort grade makes it versatile for different sleeping positions. It's an all-rounder, suitable for side, back, and stomach sleepers. However, it may not offer specialised support for those with specific needs, such as back pain relief. Again though, being suitable for all sleepers of average BMI should give it a wider appeal than the average mattress in the range.
The soft-touch damask cover adds a touch of luxury to the mattress. It's not just about the feel; the look of the damask can also elevate the overall bedroom aesthetic (ish, it will still be covered most of the time), that said, it's deeper than comparable mattresses which will help make your bed look more plush and inviting.
The mattress comes with a 100-Night Comfort Guarantee, which is a good indicator of its quality. However, it's a no-turn mattress, meaning you can only rotate it from head to toe, which might affect its lifespan negatively. Ultimately double sided comfort layers give you more surface area which means better lifespan overall.
I find the Simmonds mattress to be a solid choice for those who are looking for a budget-friendly yet comfortable option. The traditional springs and medium comfort grade make it a versatile choice, but it may not be the best for those seeking specialised support. The damask cover is a nice touch, adding a bit of luxury to an otherwise standard mattress. For the price, consider this one suitable for children's rooms and guest beds.

Specifications without the jargon, easy to understand and digest.
Traditional open spring mattresses have all the qualities necessary in order to provide a decent sleep experience. This support layer will typically be accompanied by a comfort layer above it that will offer the softness, while the springs offer body contouring support to help support your back and neck while you sleep. There are better support layers out there, typically in the form of pocket springs, however, the price point of traditional open spring mattresses relative to the quality of sleep you get makes them an ideal choice in the mid-tier arena.
A 1 year guarantee is considered fairly standard for the industry. While consumers may agree that a larger and further reaching guarantee would ensure additional consumer satisfaction, the result more often than not is that problems in mattresses tend to rear their head in those initial 12 months, at which point claim drop off is typical across many manufacturers.
Crafted from soft-touch damask, the mattress cover promotes a luxurious sleeping experience by providing a smooth and gentle surface your body can melt into. Yet, despite its plush feel, its hardy fabric construction ensures lasting durability, offering an ideal balance between comfort and longevity.
Designed to cater to a wide range of sleep preferences, the medium tension provides a versatile level of firmness that suits the needs of many individuals. We typically recommend this firmness for those who sleep on both their back and side and are of average weight.
This 100% UK made product is the perfect choice for a home with a sense of individuality. Sleep in comfort with the knowledge that you'll waking up refreshed and ready for another day.
If for any reason it doesn't meet your needs, you have the assurance of the guarantee to fall back on. It's a risk-free commitment to your comfort and satisfaction.
