Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 10.6 inch 9-zone hybrid mattress in 4ft6 double?
It is a double hybrid mattress about 10.6 inches deep with a nine-zone spring unit. The zones are tuned to give varying support across the body, with comfort layers on top for a smoother feel.
How wide is a 4ft6 hybrid mattress double?
A 4ft6 double is about 135cm wide and 190cm long. This hybrid mattress double suits couples who prefer a more compact bed and single sleepers who want a wider space to stretch out.
How do I check this mattress fits my double frame?
Measure the inside of your frame for a sleeping area of about 135cm by 190cm. Take both measurements at several points, and make sure the frame has no slats or sides that reduce the usable space.
Who is a 9-zone hybrid mattress suited to?
It is suited to sleepers who like precise support, including side sleepers and couples of different builds. Nine zones can give a more tailored feel than a simple spring unit without any change to the overall comfort.
What does a 9-zone design do differently?
Nine zones means nine areas of the spring unit have their own tension. This lets the mattress support heavier parts of the body firmly while allowing lighter areas to sink a little, for a more even sleeping posture.
What firmness is a 10.6 inch 9-zone hybrid?
Zoned hybrids generally feel medium to medium firm, but the product page lists the firmness for this mattress. Use that, along with how you sleep, to decide whether it matches the feel you are after.
Is a zoned hybrid cooler than an all-foam double?
Typically yes. The spring unit leaves space for air to flow, so heat escapes more readily than from a dense foam block. That is why many warm sleepers choose a hybrid over a foam-only mattress.
Is 10.6 inches deep enough, and how does it suit my headboard?
At about 27cm it is a mid-to-deep mattress. It works with most frames, but you should still check your headboard is tall enough to sit comfortably above the mattress and pillows.
What bedding fits a 4ft6 double mattress?
Choose double bedding for a 135cm bed. With a depth of about 27cm, a deep fitted sheet is best, because standard sheets can be too shallow and may come off the corners during the night.
How is it delivered, and should I choose it over memory foam?
Hybrid mattresses are heavy, so ask someone to help with carrying and unwrap it flat. Choose a hybrid over memory foam if you want more bounce and airflow. Rotate it head to foot every few months.
