Frequently Asked Questions
What does 11-zone mean on an orthopaedic pocket spring mattress?
Eleven zones means the spring unit is divided into sections, so different areas of the body meet slightly different support. It is a comfort design feature. This mattress is a 4ft6 double with a firmer, supportive orthopaedic-style feel, so check the product page for its depth.
What is motion isolation and why does it matter for couples?
Motion isolation means movement on one side of the bed is less likely to travel across the mattress. Pocket springs react independently, which helps keep partners from disturbing each other. It reduces rather than eliminates movement.
What does orthopaedic mean for this double mattress?
Here, orthopaedic describes a firmer, more supportive style of mattress. It suits people who like a flatter, less sinking surface rather than a plush, cushioned one. Compare the firmness and depth on the product page with other mattresses in the range to find the right feel for you.
Does an 11-zone pocket spring mattress fit a standard double frame?
Yes, 4ft6 is the standard UK double size, typically 135 x 190cm. Measure the inside of your frame to be certain. Check the product page for the exact depth, so you can compare it with your headboard height.
Is a pocket spring mattress warm or cool?
Pocket spring mattresses leave room for air to move, so many people find them fresher than dense foam. Temperature still depends on your bedding, room and body heat. Natural, breathable fabrics help keep things comfortable.
Who should consider an orthopaedic-style pocket sprung double?
It suits sleepers who like a firm, supportive feel, often back or stomach sleepers, and couples who want less movement transfer. It is a comfort preference. Side sleepers who want plush cushioning might prefer something softer.
What should I prepare before mattress delivery?
Measure doors, stairs and corners, and clear the route to the bedroom. Delivery details and timings are on the product page and at checkout. Spring mattresses are bulky, so plan where it will be unpacked.
How do I rotate and care for a zoned spring mattress?
Turn it head to foot every few months so wear is shared. Keep it on a solid or slatted base and ventilate the room. Clean spills with a lightly damp cloth and allow the mattress to dry before using bedding again.
How do I choose between zoned and unzoned pocket spring mattresses?
Zoned mattresses vary support along the length, while unzoned ones feel more uniform. Neither is better for everyone. Consider how you sleep and whether a consistent feel or a zoned design appeals more.
What mattress should I buy for a light sleeper who shares a bed?
No mattress is best for everyone, but pocket springs and motion isolation can help limit disturbance from a partner. This 11-zone double is worth comparing if you share a bed and prefer a firm, supportive feel.
