Frequently Asked Questions
Will a 1000 pocket sprung mattress in 3ft single fit my frame?
Yes, a 3ft single is the standard UK size of 90 x 190cm, so it fits frames made for a single bed. Measure the inside of your frame before ordering and allow a very small gap so the mattress sits flat.
What does 1000 pocket sprung mean?
It describes the number of individual pocket springs in the mattress, in this case 1000. Each spring is sewn into its own fabric pocket and moves independently, which allows the surface to adapt to your body and give steady support.
Who is a 1000 pocket sprung single mattress good for?
It suits children moving up to a single, teenagers, students and guest rooms, as well as adults wanting a dependable spring mattress. If you want a very plush or very firm surface, check other mattresses in the range for a better match.
How does a 1000 pocket sprung mattress feel?
See the product page for the exact feel. Pocket sprung mattresses generally feel supportive and responsive, because the springs move independently rather than dipping together. Comfort is personal, so think about how firm or soft you like your bed.
Is a pocket spring mattress breathable?
A pocket spring mattress has open space around the coils, so air can move through it more freely than through solid foam. That helps it feel fresh. Bedding choice and room temperature will also affect how warm you feel overnight.
What bedding fits a 90 x 190cm single mattress?
Standard single sheets and duvets are made for 90 x 190cm mattresses, so they fit this sprung mattress. Check the listing for the depth, and choose fitted sheets with pockets deep enough for the mattress.
Is a 1000 pocket sprung mattress better than an open coil single?
Open coil springs are joined together and tend to adapt less to your body. A 1000 pocket sprung mattress uses separate springs, so it follows your shape more closely and limits motion. Many people see it as a worthwhile step up.
How do I set up my single mattress on delivery?
Unwrap the mattress on a flat surface, taking care not to cut the cover, then place it on your base. Leave it a few hours to settle into its full shape. A slight smell on unwrapping normally fades once the room is aired.
How often should I rotate a pocket sprung single mattress?
Rotate it head to foot every few weeks during the first months and then every two to three months. This spreads wear evenly. Keep it on a supportive base and vacuum lightly. Avoid standing on the mattress.
Is this a good pocket spring mattress to buy for a single bed?
If you want a supportive spring mattress in a standard single size, it is a sensible choice. Compare depth, feel and your frame before ordering. People who prefer a deep sink-in feel may find memory foam suits them better.
