Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pocket sprung hybrid mattress?
It combines individually wrapped pocket springs with comfort layers above them. The springs respond independently to give support and airflow, while the upper layers add cushioning. A medium firm rating means a balanced feel with a supportive lean.
How thick is a 10 inch double mattress in centimetres?
10 inches is about 25cm. That is a good all-round depth for a 4ft6 double, leaving space for comfort layers while still fitting most standard frames. Check the height of your bed's sides to ensure a comfortable fit.
Is medium firm the same as a firm double mattress?
Not quite. Medium firm is a little gentler than a firm double mattress but more supportive than a medium or soft mattress. If you want a firm mattress or extra firm mattress, check the orthopaedic listings in this collection.
What size is this double and which frames does it suit?
It is a 4ft6 UK double, usually 135 x 190cm. It suits standard double bed frames and divans. Measure your frame's internal sleeping space and compare it with the size on the product page before you order.
Can I use a medium firm pocket sprung mattress for back support?
Many back sleepers like the supportive feel of medium firm. Orthopaedic styles are firmer, so if you prefer a flatter surface, compare those listings in this collection. Comfort is personal, so check the firmness and depth on the product page against how you like to sleep.
How does pocket sprung compare with open coil?
Pocket springs move independently, so they tend to contour better and transfer less motion than linked open coils. Open coil designs are usually simpler and feel bouncier. Pocket sprung is popular for couples and for those wanting responsive support.
Will this hybrid mattress sleep hot?
Spring-based hybrids let air circulate inside the mattress, so they generally feel less warm than dense all-foam designs. Bedding, room temperature and personal body heat still play a part, so keep the bedroom ventilated.
What should I do when my double hybrid arrives?
Unwrap it in the bedroom, lay it on a clean, supportive base and allow it time to settle into shape. Open a window to help any new-mattress smell fade, and check the delivery details on the product page for dispatch information.
How should I turn and clean a pocket sprung hybrid?
Turn it head to foot every few months so wear is spread across the springs and foam. Vacuum lightly and spot clean with a damp cloth, then let it dry fully. Keep it on a ventilated, supportive base.
Is a 10 inch medium firm hybrid a good double mattress?
It is a well-rounded choice if you want a balanced, supportive double with pocket springs and cushioning layers. Check the 4ft6 size against your frame and compare firmness with other medium firm and firm mattresses before you buy.
