Frequently Asked Questions
What size is this double mattress?
It is a UK standard double, 4ft6 or about 135 x 190cm. It fits any standard double bed frame or divan with an internal sleeping space of that size. Measure the inside of your frame before ordering, and allow a small gap so the mattress sits flat.
What is a memory foam sprung hybrid double mattress?
It has a spring base for support and airflow, with a memory foam layer on top for cushioning. It sits between an all-foam and a traditional spring mattress, so you get some contouring comfort with a more responsive, breathable feel underneath.
Is this a good double bed mattress for couples?
Yes. The 135cm width and balanced medium feel suit most couples, and the foam layer helps absorb movement. Each person gets roughly 67cm of width, so couples who want more space may prefer a king. Comfort is personal, so check the product page.
How deep is a 10.3 inch mattress?
A 10.3 inch mattress is about 26cm deep, a comfortable mid-depth that suits most standard double frames. Check your headboard and side rail height before ordering, and use fitted sheets with a pocket deep enough to cover 26cm.
How firm is it?
Medium: supportive from the springs with cushioning from the foam. It should feel neither hard nor overly soft. If you prefer a firmer or plusher feel, compare other double mattresses in our range and check the product page for the full description.
Does it sleep warm?
Springs allow airflow, which usually helps it sleep cooler than an all-foam double mattress. The foam layer can still hold some warmth, and bedding and room temperature matter too. Breathable bedding and a ventilated room help if you tend to sleep warm.
What sheets fit a 26cm double mattress?
Standard deep fitted double sheets with a pocket of 26cm or more fit best, because this mattress is about 26cm deep. Check the pocket depth on the label, and choose double bedding made for 135 x 190cm mattresses so the corners stay in place.
Can I use it on a slatted bed?
Yes, with slats spaced no more than about 7cm apart, so the base supports the mattress evenly. Check your frame's instructions, and make sure the slats are flat, in good condition and firmly fixed before the mattress goes on.
Is there a cheaper double mattress?
Yes, see our cheap double mattresses and budget range. Compare depth, firmness and construction as well as price, so you choose a double mattress that suits your bed and how you sleep. This hybrid has a spring base and a memory foam layer.
How do I look after it?
Rotate it head to foot every few months, air the room regularly and keep it on a supportive, ventilated base. Spot clean spills with a damp cloth and mild soap, and let the mattress dry fully before making the bed. Avoid soaking it.
