Frequently Asked Questions
How thick is a 10.6 inch mattress in centimetres?
10.6 inches is roughly 27cm deep, which is a fairly substantial mattress for a standard double. That depth leaves space for foam comfort layers above the pocket springs. Check your bed frame's side height so the mattress sits comfortably above the rails.
What does a medium feel mean compared with a firm mattress?
Medium sits in the middle of the firmness scale, with more cushioning than a firm mattress and more support than a soft one. It suits people who want some give at the shoulders and hips. If you want a hard mattress feel, look at firmer listings.
What are pocket springs and why combine them with memory foam?
Pocket springs are individually wrapped coils that respond independently, so one side moves less when the other does. Memory foam above them adds contouring comfort. Together they give a supportive base and a cushioned surface, with better airflow than all-foam.
Is this a firm orthopaedic mattress for back support?
It is described as medium, so it is not an extra firm mattress. Orthopaedic usually means a firm, supportive style, and this one leans a little softer. If you want a firmer feel, compare it with the orthopaedic listings in this collection before you decide.
What size is a 4ft6 double and which bed does it fit?
4ft6 is the standard UK double size, 135 x 190cm. It fits double bed frames and divans of that size. Measure the internal sleeping space of your frame and compare it with the mattress size before ordering to make sure it fits properly.
Will I feel my partner move on a pocket spring mattress?
Because each spring works on its own, movement is usually less noticeable across the bed than on a linked-coil design. The foam layer also softens motion. This can help couples sharing a double bed, though no mattress removes movement entirely.
Does combining foam and springs help airflow?
Springs leave open space inside the mattress, so air can move through more freely than in a solid foam block. That generally helps heat escape. The foam layer on top will still hold some warmth, so keep your bedroom well ventilated.
Who is a medium memory foam pocket spring mattress best for?
It suits sleepers wanting balanced comfort, such as side sleepers wanting cushioning and back sleepers wanting support. Heavier sleepers or those wanting a very firm mattress may prefer something firmer. Think about weight and sleeping position, as feel varies from person to person.
How do I care for and rotate this pocket spring mattress?
Rotate it head to foot every few months to even out wear, and keep it on a supportive, ventilated base. Spot clean with a damp cloth and allow it to dry fully. Avoid soaking the foam, and only flip it if the product details say so.
Is a 10.6 inch medium mattress a good choice for a double bed?
It offers a deep, mixed-construction double with medium comfort at a standard 4ft6 size. It works best for those who want comfort with support rather than a hard feel. Compare depth, firmness and size with other mattresses in the collection before deciding.
