Frequently Asked Questions
Will a 10 inch 4ft6 double mattress fit my bed frame?
It will fit any frame made for a standard UK double, which takes a 135 x 190cm mattress. Measure the inside of your frame before ordering and allow a small gap. At 10 inches deep it suits most frames and standard fitted sheets.
Who is a 10 inch pocket sprung double mattress suited to?
It suits couples and solo sleepers wanting a dependable spring mattress that is not too thick. A 10 inch depth works well for most bed frames and divans. If you prefer a very deep, plush mattress, you may want to look at thicker options.
What is the advantage of pocket springs in a double bed?
Pocket springs move independently, so when one partner turns over the other feels less of it. They also help the surface follow your body rather than dipping as one piece. This is why pocket sprung mattresses are popular for shared double beds.
How firm is this 10 inch pocket spring mattress?
Please see the product page for the feel of this mattress. A pocket sprung build generally feels supportive and responsive. Firmness is personal, so consider whether you prefer a springy surface or something softer before deciding.
Does a spring mattress allow good air circulation?
Spring mattresses have space around the coils, so air can pass through more easily than in dense foam. This helps the mattress feel fresher. Your bedding and room temperature also affect how warm you feel during the night.
How deep is 10 inches in centimetres?
Ten inches is about 25cm, a medium depth that suits most standard fitted sheets and bed frames. Check the exact depth in the product listing and make sure your headboard leaves enough height for the mattress to sit neatly.
How much room do two people get on a 135cm wide double?
Two people have roughly 67cm each on a 135 x 190cm double, which is slightly less than a single bed. Couples who want more space often move up to a king size. For a smaller room, a double is a practical choice.
What should I do with the mattress when it arrives?
Unwrap it on a flat surface and lift it onto your base, taking care not to cut the cover. Two people should carry a double. Allow a few hours for it to settle fully. A faint smell when unwrapped is normal and tends to fade.
How do I care for and rotate a double sprung mattress?
Rotate it head to foot every few weeks at first, then every two to three months to even out wear. Keep it on a firm, ventilated base and vacuum the surface lightly. Avoid standing or jumping on the mattress.
How does this compare with memory foam or open coil mattresses?
Open coil springs are linked and move together, while pocket springs work independently. Memory foam feels slower and more enclosed, with less airflow. A pocket spring mattress sits in between, offering support, bounce and ventilation for a double bed.
