Dormeo Mattress Buying Guide for UK Shoppers

Dormeo mattress buying guide: the short answer

Dormeo sells memory-foam, hybrid and Octaspring products in the UK. The range includes complete mattresses and toppers in sizes such as single, double, king and super king.

The Octasmart Hybrid Mattress is a 22 cm-deep double mattress with positive Argos feedback for comfort and support, although some reviews mention excessive firmness, odour, side collapse and durability concerns. The Memory Plus is a widely reviewed memory-foam option, while the Octaspring Hybrid Plus is a higher-priced model using Dormeo’s spring-style memory-foam technology.

Dormeo describes Octaspring as a patented memory-foam spring technology. The manufacturer also claims that its toppers are eight times more breathable than traditional memory foam; this is a manufacturer claim rather than an independent test result.

Dormeo mattresses and products to consider

The following products have published specifications, prices or customer-review information from Dormeo and Argos.

1. Octasmart Hybrid Mattress – Double: Argos lists this hybrid mattress as 135 × 190 cm and 22 cm deep. Review summaries praise comfort, support and perceived pain relief, while some customers report excessive firmness, side collapse, odour and concerns about durability.
2. Memory Plus Mattress: Argos lists single and king-size versions, with the double size measuring 135 × 190 cm. It has a rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 908 reviews, and 85% of reviewers recommend it. Customers commonly praise comfort and support; some describe it as too firm or too thin.
3. Silver Plus Memory Foam Double Mattress: This model has a 4.6 out of 5 rating from 185 reviews, with 91% recommending it. Review summaries include praise for comfort, support and quality, alongside comments about firmness, odour and expansion.
4. Comfort Memory Foam Mattress – Double: Its Argos listing shows 4.5 out of 5 from 97 reviews, with 88% recommending it. Reviewers mention comfort, support, perceived back-pain relief and value, while some say it feels thin or firm and mention a chemical smell.
5. Octaspring Hybrid Plus Mattress: Dormeo advertises this mattress from £599, reduced from a previous price of £1,289, with a displayed saving of £690. The advertised starting price does not establish the price of every size, so select the required size before ordering.

The retailer ratings are customer-review evidence rather than independent durability testing. They help identify recurring experiences, but do not establish that one mattress will suit every sleeper.

Dormeo mattress sizes and how to choose one

Dormeo lists a single at 90 × 190 cm, a double at 135 × 190 cm, a king at 150 × 200 cm and a super king at 180 × 200 cm. Its UK range also includes European king mattresses.

Measure the frame and compare its internal dimensions with the exact product listing. Argos lists both the Memory Plus double and the Octasmart Hybrid double as 135 × 190 cm.

Dormeo mattress topper or a new mattress?

Choose a Dormeo topper when the existing mattress is still in acceptable condition but you want to change its surface feel. Choose a complete mattress when the support system is damaged, uncomfortable or no longer suitable. A topper cannot correct every problem with the mattress underneath.

Dormeo’s Octaspring topper range covers single, double, king and super king sizes. Its listed starting prices are £229 for the Body Zone Mattress Topper, £499 for the Pure Memory Classic Mattress Topper, £299 for the Body Zone Cooling Mattress Topper and £570 for the Deluxe Cooling Mattress Topper. Dormeo advertises free UK delivery on Octaspring topper orders over £79.

The king-size page lists the Octasmart Deluxe Mattress Topper at £319, reduced from £659, the Octasmart Plus Mattress Topper at £259, reduced from £329, and the Octaspring Body Zone Cooling Mattress Topper, King at £399. Dormeo’s TV-offer page lists the Octasmart Plus Mattress Topper from £179, reduced from £229.

Dormeo mattress reviews, complaints and guarantees

Argos reviews show positive feedback for comfort and support across several Dormeo models. The recurring model-level criticisms include a firm feel, thinness, odour, slow expansion, side collapse and concerns about durability. The balance differs between products: Memory Plus reviews mention firmness and thinness, Silver Plus reviews mention firmness, odour and expansion, Comfort reviews mention thinness, firmness and chemical smell, and Octasmart Hybrid reviews mention firmness, odour, side collapse and durability.

Dormeo advertises a 200-night comfort guarantee with every mattress and mattress topper on its “As Seen on TV” sale page. Separately, its king-size topper page states that selected mattresses have a 200-night trial and selected mattresses have a 20-year warranty.

Is a Dormeo mattress worth the money?

A Dormeo mattress can be worth the money when the model provides the size and feel you want at the advertised price. Argos ratings are strong for several products, but recurring comments about firmness, odour, expansion, thinness and durability mean that the individual model matters more than the brand name alone.

Before ordering, use this checklist:

• Measure the frame and match the listed dimensions.
• Decide whether you need a complete mattress or only a topper.
• Read reviews for the exact model, especially comments about firmness, smell, expansion and durability.
• Check whether the 200-night guarantee or a longer warranty applies to that product.

Frequently asked questions

Are Dormeo mattresses worth the money?

They can be, provided the model suits your preferred feel and the price is acceptable. Several Dormeo products have strong Argos ratings, but the reviews also contain recurring concerns about firmness, odour, expansion, thinness and durability. The trial, guarantee and return conditions form part of the purchase value.
