Frequently Asked Questions
What are the measurements of this 11 inch orthopaedic medium-firm 5ft king mattress?
It is a 5ft king size, measuring 150 x 200cm, and is 11 inches deep, which is roughly 28cm. It suits a standard UK king bed frame. Measure the internal frame size to confirm the fit before you buy.
What does orthopaedic medium-firm mean on a king size mattress?
It describes a supportive style that sits between plush and hard. Orthopaedic here refers to firm, stable support only and makes no health claim. Compare the firmness notes on the product page with softer and firmer king size options to decide what suits you.
How are foam and pocket springs combined in this king size mattress?
Layers of foam sit above a pocket spring unit. The foam softens the surface and eases pressure on the body, while the individually wrapped springs underneath provide support and bounce. Together they deliver a medium-firm feel with some cushioning.
Who suits a medium-firm king size mattress?
Medium-firm is a popular choice for back and combination sleepers and for couples who want support without a hard feel. Side sleepers who like deep cushioning may prefer something softer. It is a sensible starting point if you are unsure.
Does this foam and pocket sprung king mattress sleep warm?
The pocket spring layer lets air move through the mattress, which helps keep it fresher than an all-foam design. The foam layers can still hold some warmth. Breathable bedding and a well-ventilated room will help you stay comfortable.
Is an 11 inch mattress a good depth for a king size bed frame?
Eleven inches, about 28cm, is a comfortable, popular depth that works with most king frames and headboards. If your frame has very low sides, check the rim height, so the mattress is held in place and looks neat.
What sheet and duvet size goes with a 150 x 200cm king mattress?
Choose king size fitted sheets for 150 x 200cm mattresses and a king size duvet. For an 11 inch mattress, a pocket depth of 30cm is ideal so the corners stay firmly in place through the night.
What is it like moving and unpacking a king size mattress with pocket springs?
It is heavy and bulky, so measure doorways and stairs and ask someone to help. Open the packaging in the bedroom, place the mattress on the base and let it settle. Do not drag it by the handles, which can cause damage.
How do I look after and rotate a foam and pocket sprung mattress?
Rotate head to foot every couple of months so the foam and springs wear evenly. Air the mattress when you change the bedding and keep it on a supportive base. Spot clean spills right away and let it dry fully.
Is this a better choice than a firm king size mattress?
Medium-firm gives you support with a touch more comfort, while a firm king size mattress has less give. If you like a very flat, solid feel, go firm. If you want some cushioning at the shoulders and hips, medium-firm is usually kinder.
