Frequently Asked Questions
How deep is a 10.6 inch orthopaedic mattress in centimetres?
10.6 inches is roughly 27cm deep, a substantial depth for a double. It leaves room for gel memory foam layers without being awkward to climb onto. Check your frame's side height so the mattress sits comfortably above the rails.
What does an orthopaedic gel memory foam mattress feel like?
It aims for a supportive, firm-leaning feel, with gel memory foam adding some contouring comfort on top. Orthopaedic describes the style of mattress. Expect more support and less sink than a soft mattress, and check the 10.6 inch depth against your frame.
What size is this 4ft6 gel foam orthopaedic double?
It is a 4ft6 UK double, usually 135 x 190cm. It fits standard double bed frames and divans of that size. Measure your frame's internal dimensions and compare them with the size on the product page before ordering.
What is an orthopaedic bed mattress?
An orthopaedic bed mattress is a firm, supportive style that some people find comfortable. It gives less sink than a soft mattress, with gel memory foam on top for gentle contouring. Compare firmness and depth on the product page with other orthopaedic mattresses here.
How does gel improve a memory foam mattress?
Gel in the foam adds comfort and helps the surface feel less warm than standard memory foam. It is a comfort feature rather than a guarantee of a cool night. Room temperature and bedding also affect how warm you feel.
Is this a hard mattress or a very firm mattress?
Orthopaedic styles lean firm, but with gel memory foam on top it is not designed to feel like a hard mattress. If you want a very firm mattress, check the product description and compare with other firm listings here.
Who might find a gel foam orthopaedic mattress too firm?
Lighter side sleepers who love deep, plush cushioning may find an orthopaedic style firm. Back, stomach and heavier sleepers often like the support. If you are unsure, compare it with medium and soft mattresses in the collection.
Does an all-foam orthopaedic mattress sleep warm?
Dense foam can hold more heat than a spring-based mattress, although gel helps the surface feel fresher. Keep the room ventilated and bedding light. If you sleep very hot, a hybrid with springs may feel airier.
How do I unwrap, rotate and care for a gel foam double?
Unwrap it in the bedroom on a clean, supportive base and allow it to settle. Rotate it head to foot every few months, spot clean with a damp cloth and let it dry fully. Check delivery details on the product page.
Is this the best orthopaedic mattress for a double bed?
Best depends on how you sleep. This 10.6 inch gel foam orthopaedic mattress gives a deep, supportive double. Compare it with other orthopaedic mattresses here and check the size against your frame before buying.
