Frequently Asked Questions
How deep is an 11 inch pocket sprung double mattress in cm?
Eleven inches is roughly 28cm, which is a generous depth that gives the mattress a substantial look on the bed. Check that your headboard and frame sides suit a taller mattress, and choose a fitted sheet with a deep pocket.
What is the exact size of this 4ft6 pocket sprung mattress?
It measures 135 x 190cm, the standard UK 4ft6 double size. It will fit a double bed frame or divan with the same internal dimensions. Measure your frame before ordering so the mattress sits snugly without leaving gaps at the sides or foot.
What is the advantage of a pocket sprung mattress for a double bed?
Each spring is wrapped in its own pocket and moves independently, so support follows your body more closely and less movement passes across the bed. The spring structure also lets air flow through, which helps keep the mattress feeling fresh.
How does medium feel compare with a firm double mattress?
Medium sits in the middle, offering some give under the shoulders and hips with a supportive base. A firm mattress feels flatter with less sink. If you like a gentle cushion rather than a hard surface, medium is a sensible starting point.
Is a pocket sprung double mattress good for couples who sleep differently?
Pocket springs move independently, so a partner who tosses and turns is less likely to disturb you. A 135cm width gives about 67cm each. Medium feel suits many different sleepers, though very different preferences may call for a king size bed.
Does an all-spring double mattress sleep cooler than foam?
A sprung mattress generally has more air space inside than dense foam, so air can circulate and heat escapes more easily. Upholstery layers on top still hold some warmth, so breathable bedding and a ventilated bedroom remain helpful on warm nights.
Which fitted sheet suits an 11 inch double mattress?
Choose a double fitted sheet with a pocket depth of at least 30cm so it grips a 28cm mattress properly. Standard sheets can slip off the corners, so check the depth printed on the packaging before you buy.
How should I plan for delivery of a deep double mattress?
Delivery details are shown at checkout. A deeper sprung mattress is heavier and less flexible than foam, so measure stairs, corners and doorways beforehand. Once indoors, unwrap it in the bedroom, lay it flat and let it settle for a few hours.
How often should I turn a pocket sprung mattress?
Rotate it head to foot every few weeks in the first months, then every three months or so, unless the care label says otherwise. Vacuum gently, spot clean with a barely damp cloth and allow it to dry fully before putting bedding back on.
Is a pocket sprung or a memory foam mattress better for a double bed?
Pocket sprung feels bouncier and more breathable, while memory foam feels slower and more body hugging. Neither is better for everyone, so pick by feel. Compare both types across the Double & Small Double Mattresses collection to find your match.
