Frequently Asked Questions
How thick is a 12.6 inch memory foam hybrid mattress?
12.6 inches is about 32cm, which makes this a very thick mattress. It combines memory foam with a sprung base in a 4ft6 double. Because of the height, check your frame sides and headboard before you buy.
Does a 32cm deep mattress suit a standard double frame?
The footprint is the usual 4ft6 double, but the extra depth changes how high you sit. Measure from the floor to the top of the base, add 32cm, and compare with the headboard. Platform beds with low rails may need extra care.
What is a memory foam hybrid sprung mattress?
It layers memory foam over a spring base, so you get contouring on the surface and the lift of springs underneath. This mix is popular with people who find all-foam mattresses too slow or all-spring mattresses too firm.
Is this a good deep mattress for couples?
A deep mattress with foam and springs can feel roomy and cushioned, which many couples enjoy. The double size is 135 x 190cm, so each person has a little under 68cm of width. If you want more space, consider a king size instead.
Will a thick memory foam hybrid make me too warm?
Foam layers can retain some body heat, but the sprung base allows air to pass through the mattress, which helps balance it. Individual sleepers vary, so choose breathable bedding if you tend to overheat. No claims are made for active cooling.
What sheets do I need for a 12.6 inch deep mattress?
Look for double fitted sheets labelled extra deep, with a pocket of at least 32cm. Standard fitted sheets will tend to pull off the corners on a mattress this tall. Double bedding covers the 135 x 190cm size.
Does this mattress come in a box?
Packaging and delivery format are described on the product page, along with timings at checkout. Many memory foam and hybrid mattresses travel in a box, which helps with narrow stairs. Measure your access route, and unpack the mattress in the bedroom itself.
How often should I rotate a memory foam hybrid mattress?
Turn it head to foot every two to three months at first, then as often as suits you. Because it is thick and heavy, ask someone to help. Keep it on a slatted or solid base that supports the whole surface.
Is a hybrid better than memory foam alone for a double bed?
It depends on preference. A hybrid tends to feel springier and more breathable, while pure memory foam feels more enveloping. If you like to move around easily on the surface, a hybrid is often the more comfortable of the two.
Which mattress is best if I want the most comfortable, plush feel?
No mattress is best for everyone, but depth and memory foam suggest a plush feel. This 32cm hybrid leans towards luxury mattress comfort. If you sleep on your back and like a flatter bed, consider a firmer or shallower alternative.
