Frequently Asked Questions
Will a 1000 pocket sprung mattress in 4ft6 double fit my frame?
It will fit a standard UK double frame, which takes a 135 x 190cm mattress. Measure the inside of your frame before ordering and allow only a small gap at the sides, so the mattress sits flat and can be rotated easily.
What does 1000 pocket sprung mean for a double bed?
It refers to the number of individual pocket springs, in this case 1000. Each one sits in its own fabric pocket and moves independently, giving support that adapts to your body and helps limit movement between two sleepers.
Who is a 1000 pocket sprung double mattress suited to?
It suits couples and solo sleepers who want a dependable spring mattress in a standard double size. If you want a very plush or very hard surface, or a high spring count, compare other mattresses in the range before deciding.
How firm is this 1000 pocket sprung double?
Please check the product page for the exact feel. Pocket sprung mattresses generally feel supportive and responsive. Firmness is personal, so think about whether you prefer a springy surface or a softer, more cushioned one.
Is a 1000 pocket spring mattress breathable?
Spring mattresses leave space around the coils, so air can move through more freely than in dense foam. This helps the mattress feel fresh. Room ventilation and bedding choice also affect how warm you feel during the night.
What bedding should I buy for a 4ft6 double mattress?
Choose standard double sheets and duvets, as a 4ft6 double is 135 x 190cm. Check the mattress depth on the product page and pick fitted sheets with pockets deep enough for it, so the sheet stays in place.
Should I choose a 1000 pocket sprung mattress over open coil or hybrid?
Open coil mattresses link the springs together and tend to adapt less to your body. Hybrids mix springs and foam layers. A 1000 pocket sprung mattress offers independent springs for support, and suits those who like a springy, breathable feel.
How should I handle my double mattress on delivery?
A double mattress is heavy, so have a second person to help carry it. Unwrap it on a flat surface, lift it onto your base and allow a few hours to settle. A faint smell on unwrapping is normal and usually fades.
How often should I rotate a 1000 pocket sprung double?
Rotate it head to foot every few weeks in the first months, then every two to three months. This spreads wear evenly across the surface. Keep it on a firm, ventilated base and vacuum the surface lightly.
Is this the best pocket sprung mattress for a main bedroom double?
The best pocket sprung mattress depends on your size, feel and budget. This 1000 spring double is a sensible, supportive choice for many bedrooms. Compare depth, firmness and construction with other options to find the right fit for you.
