Frequently Asked Questions

Orthopaedic describes a firm, supportive style of mattress. This king size combines spring support with comfort layers in a deep 12.6 inch build. Check your frame and headboard for clearance, and compare firmness with other orthopaedic mattresses in this collection before you buy.
How deep is a 12.6 inch mattress in centimetres?
12.6 inches is about 32cm, a very deep mattress. Check your king size frame and headboard for enough clearance, and think about fitted bedding depth. A deeper mattress can look striking but needs a frame with generous sides.
What size is a 5ft king size orthopaedic hybrid?
A UK 5ft king size mattress generally measures about 150 x 200cm. It fits king size frames and divans of that size. Measure your frame's internal sleeping space before ordering, as dimensions can differ slightly.
Is an orthopaedic hybrid a firm or extra firm mattress?
Orthopaedic styles lean firm, giving a supportive surface. An extra firm mattress or very firm mattress is harder still. Check the product description for the exact feel, and compare with other orthopaedic mattresses in the collection.
Who suits an orthopaedic hybrid king size mattress?
Back sleepers, stomach sleepers and heavier sleepers often like a firm, supportive feel. Couples wanting a deep king size bed may also like it. Side sleepers who want a plush surface may find it too firm.
Does a deep hybrid king mattress have good airflow?
The spring core leaves open space so air can circulate, which generally helps heat escape better than a solid foam block. The comfort layers add cushioning and some warmth. A ventilated base and breathable bedding help further.
How does an orthopaedic hybrid compare with a soft or medium mattress?
An orthopaedic hybrid feels firmer, with less sink and more support under the hips. A medium mattress balances support and cushioning, and a soft mattress feels plush. Choose by how you like to feel when lying down.
How do I handle and set up a very deep king size mattress?
A deep king size mattress is heavy, so get at least one helper and measure doorways and stairs first. Unwrap it in the bedroom, place it on a clean, supportive base and let it settle. Check delivery details on the product page.
How should I rotate and care for a 12.6 inch hybrid?
Rotate it head to foot every few months to keep wear even across the springs and layers. Vacuum lightly and spot clean with a damp cloth, letting it dry fully. Keep it on a supportive, ventilated base.
