Frequently Asked Questions
What size is this double mattress?
It is a UK standard double (4ft6), about 135 x 190cm, and roughly 26cm deep (10.2 inches). That fits standard double frames and divans. Measure the inside of your frame before ordering, and check headboard height for a 26cm deep mattress.
What is a memory foam and pocket sprung hybrid mattress?
It has independent pocket springs for support and a memory foam layer for cushioning. Each spring moves on its own, so the mattress follows your shape more precisely than linked springs, while the foam softens the surface and contours gently.
Does it reduce partner disturbance?
Pocket springs move independently and the foam layer absorbs movement, so one person turning over is less likely to wake the other. No mattress removes motion entirely, but this build helps limit it on a shared double.
Is it a good double bed mattress for side sleepers?
Yes. The foam layer cushions the shoulders and hips, while the springs stop the hips sinking too far. A medium feel suits many side sleepers, but comfort is personal, so check the product page for the full description.
How firm is it?
Medium: supportive and responsive without feeling hard. The pocket springs give a lively base and the memory foam adds cushioning. If you prefer a firmer or plusher feel, compare other double mattresses in our range and check the product page.
What sheets fit a 26cm double mattress?
Standard deep fitted double sheets (25cm or more) fit comfortably, though a pocket of 26cm or more helps them stay in place. Check the pocket depth on the label, and choose double bedding made for 135 x 190cm mattresses.
Can I use it on a divan or slatted bed?
Yes, both work. On slats, keep gaps to roughly 7cm or less so the base supports the mattress evenly. Check your frame's instructions, and make sure the base is flat, in good condition and firmly fixed.
Is it heavy to move?
A double hybrid is heavy, so plan for two people when moving it through doors and up stairs. Clear the route to the bedroom, measure stairs and doorways before delivery, and unwrap it in the room where it will be used.
How do I look after it?
Rotate head to foot every few months, air the room regularly and keep it on a supportive, ventilated base. Spot clean only, using a damp cloth with mild soap, and let the mattress dry fully before making the bed.
How long does a pocket sprung double mattress last?
Typically several years with proper care. Look out for sagging, lumps or a mattress that no longer feels supportive as signs it is time to replace it. Lifespan depends on use, sleeper weight and care, so take this as a general guide.
