Frequently Asked Questions
Will a 20cm medium firm mattress suit my 4ft6 double divan or bed frame?
It is cut to the standard UK double size of 135 x 190cm, so it suits most 4ft6 divans and frames. At 20cm deep it sits a little higher than slimmer mattresses, so check headboard and side rail height before ordering.
Who is a medium firm memory foam mattress for double beds aimed at?
It suits sleepers who like some cushioning but dislike sinking in too deeply. Couples with different preferences often find a medium firm feel a sensible middle ground. It is a comfort choice, so consider your sleeping position and how firm you like your bed.
What is the difference between firm and soft memory foam mattresses?
A soft memory foam mattress lets you sink further into the surface, while a firm one feels more supportive and flatter. Medium firm sits between the two, giving gentle contouring with a more stable feel when you turn over.
How does medium firm feel on a 20cm foam mattress?
Expect a balanced feel: the foam still moulds around your shoulders and hips, but you should not feel swallowed by it. Everyone's preference differs, so consider how you usually sleep and whether you favour soft or firm beds.
Will a thick memory foam mattress make me too hot?
Memory foam can retain body heat more than a sprung mattress, and a deeper build can add to that. This mattress is not sold as a cooling model, so choose lighter bedding and keep the room ventilated if you tend to run warm.
Is 20cm a deep mattress, and what does that mean for bedding?
20cm is a fairly generous depth that gives a substantial, plush look and feel. When buying fitted sheets, choose ones with a pocket depth of at least 25cm so the corners stay secure around the whole mattress.
Which bedding size matches a 135 x 190cm double mattress?
Standard UK double bedding is made for 135 x 190cm mattresses. Pick a double duvet cover and a double fitted sheet, and always compare the sheet depth against the 20cm mattress to avoid it pinging off the corners.
Does a 20cm foam mattress arrive rolled, and how long until it is ready?
Foam mattresses typically ship compressed in a box. Cut the wrapping carefully, lay the mattress flat and allow around 24 hours for it to reach full shape. Opening a window helps any slight new-foam smell disappear.
Do I need to flip this memory foam mattress?
Mattresses with a set comfort side are generally not flipped. Instead, rotate it head to foot every few months to even out wear. Keep it on a ventilated base and spot clean gently with a damp cloth when needed.
Is a medium firm foam mattress better than a hybrid or pocket sprung one?
It depends on preference. Foam gives close contouring and quiet movement, while pocket sprung and hybrid mattresses feel bouncier and more open. If you want a steadier feel with a little cushioning, medium firm memory foam is worth considering.
