Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions of this 12.6 inch 9-zone orthopaedic super king mattress?
It is a 6ft super king, 180 x 200cm, with a depth of 12.6 inches, which is roughly 32cm. Check that your bed frame has an internal sleeping area of 180 x 200cm and that the frame sides suit a mattress of this height.
What does orthopaedic mean for this super king memory foam mattress?
Here, orthopaedic describes a firmer, more supportive style of mattress that keeps the body in a level, stable position. It is a feel description only and makes no health claim. Compare the firmness notes on the product page to check it suits how you sleep.
What do the 9 zones in this mattress do?
Zoning means the support is arranged in sections along the length of the mattress, so areas such as the shoulders, hips and legs can be supported differently. Nine zones aims to give a more tailored feel from head to toe than a single uniform surface.
Is this orthopaedic super king mattress firm or soft?
It is designed as a firmer, supportive orthopaedic style, with memory foam adding a layer of contouring comfort on top. If you prefer a very soft, sinking feel it may be too supportive, but many people who like a steadier surface find this style comfortable.
Does a super king memory foam mattress this thick trap heat?
Foam tends to hold more warmth than open spring constructions, and a deeper mattress has more foam in it. Good bedroom ventilation, breathable sheets and a base that lets air move beneath the mattress will help keep you comfortable through the night.
Will a 12.6 inch mattress fit my super king frame and headboard?
The width and length will fit a standard 180 x 200cm frame, but the extra depth matters. Make sure the frame sides are not too low, and check how far the mattress will rise against your headboard, particularly if the headboard is slim or sits close to the top.
Which sheets suit a 6ft super king mattress that is 12.6 inches deep?
Choose super king fitted sheets for 180 x 200cm mattresses with a deep enough pocket, ideally 30cm or more, so they stretch over the full height without lifting at the corners. A snug fit keeps the sheet flat and the bed looking tidy.
Can a big super king mattress be delivered compressed and how long does it take to expand?
Many large foam mattresses arrive compressed for easier handling. Open it in the room where it will be used, remove the packaging and let it expand. It is usually fine to use quite soon after unboxing, though full shape can take a little longer to settle.
Do I need to turn this memory foam mattress, and how often?
Turning head to foot every few weeks at first, then every couple of months, helps spread wear evenly across a super king mattress. Memory foam mattresses are normally not flipped, so check whether a comfort side is intended and keep the correct side facing up.
Should I choose a firm super king mattress like this or a softer one?
If you like a steady, supportive surface and tend to sleep on your back or front, a firmer super king mattress can suit you well. Side sleepers who prefer to sink in may like a softer feel. Think about how you sleep most nights before deciding.
