Frequently Asked Questions
What bed size is a 160 x 200cm pocket sprung mattress?
A 160 x 200cm mattress is the UK super king size, wider than a standard 150cm king. It only fits frames made for super king, so measure the inside of your bed frame before ordering and check the room has space for the extra width.
Who should choose an 11 inch medium super king mattress?
It suits couples wanting plenty of room, and anyone who simply likes a large bed. A medium feel offers a balanced surface that is neither soft nor firm. The 11 inch depth gives a substantial look, so check it works with your frame and bedding.
How do pocket springs help two people sharing a wide bed?
Each pocket spring moves independently, so when one person turns over the other feels less disturbance. On a 160cm wide bed this separate action is helpful, as the surface follows each sleeper rather than dipping across the whole mattress.
What does medium firmness feel like on this sprung mattress?
Medium firmness feels supportive but not hard, with a little give from the surface. It is a middle option between soft and firm, which many sleepers find comfortable. Because comfort is personal, think about whether you prefer a gentler or a stiffer surface.
Does a pocket spring mattress sleep cooler than other types?
Spring mattresses leave space around the coils, so air can move through more freely than in solid foam. This helps airflow, though room temperature, bedding and your own body heat all affect how cool you feel overnight.
Is 11 inches deep enough, or too deep, for my bed frame?
Eleven inches is about 28cm, which is a fairly deep mattress. Most modern frames cope well, but check the headboard height and that your fitted sheets have deep enough pockets. Always confirm the exact depth in the product listing before you order.
What bedding do I need for a 160 x 200cm mattress?
You need super king bedding, not king, so choose sheets and duvets labelled for 160 x 200cm. Super king duvets are larger than king duvets, so check sizes carefully. A fitted sheet should also be deep enough for the 11 inch depth.
How do I get a large mattress into the bedroom?
Measure stairs, doorways and corners before delivery day, and arrange for someone to help you carry it. Unwrap it in the room where it will be used, lift it onto the base and allow a few hours for it to settle into full shape.
How should I rotate and look after a super king mattress?
Rotate it head to foot every few weeks at first and then every couple of months so wear is spread evenly. Use a firm, well supported base, vacuum the surface lightly and avoid standing on it. Ask for help when lifting as it is large.
How does a pocket sprung mattress compare with memory foam or hybrid?
A pocket sprung mattress feels springier and more breathable than memory foam, which has a slower sink-in feel. Hybrids mix springs and foam layers. If you prefer support from springs with a medium feel, this sprung mattress is a good option to consider.
