Frequently Asked Questions
Will a 1000 pocket sprung small double fit my 4ft frame?
A 4ft small double measures 120 x 190cm and fits frames made for that size. It will not fit a 135cm double frame. Measure the inside of your frame before ordering, and allow only a small gap at the sides.
What does a 1000 pocket spring count mean in a small double?
It is the number of pocket springs in the mattress, here 1000. Each is housed in its own fabric pocket and moves independently, so the surface can follow your body and support you across the 120cm width of the bed.
Who would choose a 4ft small double sprung mattress?
It suits single sleepers wanting extra width, and couples in compact rooms who are happy with a snug fit. Small doubles are also a good choice for box rooms or guest rooms where a standard double would feel crowded.
How firm will this 1000 pocket sprung mattress feel?
Please see the listing for the exact feel. Pocket sprung mattresses generally feel supportive and responsive. Firmness is personal, so consider whether you like a springy surface or a softer, more cushioned one before you decide.
Does a 1000 pocket sprung mattress have good airflow?
Spring mattresses have space between the coils, so air passes through more freely than in dense foam. This helps the mattress stay fresh. Room ventilation and breathable bedding also play their part in a comfortable night.
What is the difference between a small double and a standard double?
A small double is 120cm wide and a standard double is 135cm, both 190cm long. The extra width suits two sleepers better. A small double is ideal if space is limited or you sleep alone and want a bit more room.
How does a 1000 pocket sprung mattress compare with memory foam?
A pocket sprung mattress feels more responsive and lets air pass through, while memory foam has a slower, sink-in feel. If you like to be supported by springs rather than wrapped in foam, this 1000 pocket sprung mattress may suit you.
What should I do when my small double mattress is delivered?
Unwrap it on a flat surface, taking care not to cut the cover, then lift it onto your base. Allow a few hours to settle into shape. A faint smell when unwrapped is normal and usually fades after airing the room.
How should I rotate and look after my small double mattress?
Rotate it head to foot every few weeks at first, then every two to three months. Keep it on a firm, ventilated base and vacuum the surface lightly. Avoid standing on it, which can strain the springs and edges.
Is a 1000 pocket sprung mattress in small double worth buying?
If you want a supportive spring mattress in a compact size, it is worth considering. Compare depth, feel and your bed frame before buying. People who want a more luxurious feel might look at higher spring counts or added comfort layers.
