Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 12 inch 9-zone hybrid pocket spring mattress?
It is a hybrid mattress about 12 inches deep, built on a pocket spring unit divided into nine support zones. Comfort layers sit on top, and the result is a mattress designed to support different body areas in a more targeted way.
What size is a 4ft6 double hybrid pocket spring mattress?
It is the standard UK double, around 135cm wide by 190cm long. As a double hybrid mattress it works for couples who do not need king width and for single sleepers who like a roomier bed.
How do I check this double mattress will fit my bed?
Measure the inside of your bed base from head to foot and side to side. You are looking for roughly 135cm by 190cm. A tight fit is better than a loose one, because a mattress that is too small can slide around.
Who will like a 9-zone pocket spring hybrid?
It suits sleepers who like extra detail in their support, including side sleepers who want pressure relief at the shoulder and hip. Couples with different body shapes often like zoned springs as each area responds separately.
What do nine zones change compared with a standard spring unit?
A standard spring unit gives the same feel from head to toe, while a 9-zone unit divides the springs into areas with different tension. This lets the mattress feel supportive under the heavier parts of the body and softer elsewhere.
How firm is a 12 inch 9-zone hybrid?
Zoned pocket spring hybrids are typically medium to medium firm, but the feel depends on the comfort layers. Check the product page for the firmness listed and think about your usual sleeping position before choosing.
Is a pocket spring hybrid cooler than a foam mattress?
In general, yes. The pocket springs let air flow through the middle of the mattress, which supports temperature regulation. All-foam mattresses can retain more heat, so a pocket spring hybrid is often preferred by warm sleepers.
Does a 12 inch depth work with a low or fixed headboard?
A 12 inch mattress is roughly 30cm tall, so it can sit above a low headboard. Compare the headboard height against the combined height of your base and mattress to ensure the top edge is not too close to your pillows.
What sheets and duvet size suit a 4ft6 double?
Choose double-size fitted sheets and duvets labelled for 135cm beds. Because this mattress is deep, pick a sheet with a deep pocket so it stays smooth and tucked in. Standard king bedding will be too large for this size.
What should I know about delivery and looking after this mattress?
The mattress arrives rolled or compressed in packaging, so open it flat in the room and allow time for it to expand. Rotate it every few months and keep the bedroom aired to help preserve its comfort.
