What is a 12 inch memory foam spring hybrid mattress?
It is a mattress about 12 inches deep, which is roughly 30cm, that pairs a spring unit with memory foam. The springs supply support and airflow while the foam adds contouring comfort, giving you the benefits of both constructions in a hybrid double mattress.
What size is a 4ft6 double hybrid mattress in centimetres?
A 4ft6 double is a standard UK size of about 135cm wide by 190cm long. This hybrid mattress double suits couples who like a compact bed and is a very common size for main bedrooms and guest rooms alike.
Will a 4ft6 double hybrid mattress fit my existing double bed?
If your frame has an internal space of around 135cm by 190cm, it should fit. Measure the inside of the frame, not the outside, and allow a small gap so the double hybrid mattress can be laid flat without forcing.
Who should choose a memory foam and spring hybrid double?
It suits sleepers who want the cushioning of foam without losing the lift and bounce of springs. Couples, side sleepers and anyone moving on from an old spring mattress often like this blend, as it feels familiar yet a little more comfortable.
How do the springs and memory foam work together here?
The springs form the supportive base and respond to movement, while the memory foam layers above soften the surface and contour to your shape. This stack is why a hybrid often feels both supportive and comfortable compared with all-foam or all-spring designs.
How firm will this hybrid mattress feel?
Comfort is personal, but hybrids of this type usually sit around a medium feel, firmer than pure memory foam yet softer than a bare spring bed. The product page lists the stated firmness, so check it against how you like to sleep.
Is this hybrid more breathable than all-foam mattresses?
Typically it is. The open spring layer lets air circulate through the mattress, which helps dissipate heat, whereas a solid memory foam block tends to trap it. If you sleep warm, that airflow is one of the main reasons to choose a hybrid.
Will a 12 inch deep mattress clear my headboard?
At about 30cm deep it is a taller mattress, so it rises higher above the frame. Check that your headboard and frame sides are tall enough, and that you can still get into bed easily, before you order a 12 inch hybrid.
What bedding size do I need for a 4ft6 double?
Buy double bedding, which is the standard size for a 135cm wide bed. Because this mattress is deep, choose fitted sheets that state a deep or extra deep pocket so the corners stay in place and the bed looks tidy.
How is it delivered, and how should I look after it?
Hybrid mattresses are heavy, so have a second person help carry it and unwrap it flat in the bedroom, letting it settle for a day. Rotate it head to foot every few months, and air the room regularly to keep it fresh.
