Frequently Asked Questions
What size is this 5ft king mattress and which frames does it fit?
It is a 5ft king size mattress, measuring 150 x 200cm. It is made for a UK king size bed frame with an internal sleeping area of the same size. Measure inside your frame before ordering, since small differences can affect how neatly it sits.
What does 7-zone pocket sprung mean on a king size mattress?
The pocket springs are arranged in seven zones along the mattress, so different areas such as the shoulders, hips and legs receive different levels of support. Each spring is individually wrapped, so it moves independently and helps the surface follow your body shape.
Is this king size memory foam mattress medium or firm?
It is listed as a medium feel. That usually means a balance between cushioning and support, not too soft and not too hard. Many sleepers find a medium king size mattress comfortable, though very firm or very soft preferences may suit other options.
How deep is a 12 inch king size pocket sprung mattress?
Twelve inches is roughly 30cm. That is a comfortable, generous depth that gives room for the spring unit and foam layers. Check that your frame and headboard work with this height, especially if your bed has low sides.
Does a king size pocket sprung memory foam mattress sleep cooler than all foam?
Generally the spring layer allows more air to move through the mattress than solid foam, so it often feels fresher. The memory foam on top can still hold some warmth. Breathable bedding and a ventilated bedroom make a noticeable difference.
Who is a medium king size mattress best suited to?
A medium feel suits many people, including couples with different preferences who want a compromise. Side, back and combination sleepers often get on well with this type of king mattress. If you strongly prefer a firm or plush surface, consider other firmness levels.
What bedding fits a 5ft king mattress that is 12 inches deep?
Use king size fitted sheets for 150 x 200cm mattresses, with a pocket depth of at least 30cm. A shallower sheet may spring off the corners. King size duvet covers are the usual match for this bed.
How should I plan for delivery and unboxing of a king size mattress?
Measure doorways, stairs and corners so a large boxed or rolled mattress can reach your bedroom. Unpack it where you will use it, cut away the wrapping carefully and allow it time to take its full shape before dressing the bed.
How do I keep a king size memory foam and spring mattress in good shape?
Rotate it head to foot regularly, air the bed when changing sheets and keep it on a solid or slatted base with sensible slat spacing. Avoid sitting heavily on one edge and keep liquids away, so the filling and springs wear evenly.
Is a king size pocket sprung mattress worth choosing over a standard open coil one?
Pocket springs move independently, which tends to give more targeted support and less motion transfer than linked open coils. That can matter when two people share a king size bed. Pocket sprung mattresses usually cost more, so weigh comfort against budget.
