Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact measurements of this 22cm pocket spring double mattress?
This mattress is 135 x 190cm and 22cm deep, which is the standard UK 4ft6 double size. It suits any double bed frame with an internal space of the same size. Measure inside your frame before ordering so the mattress sits neatly without gaps.
Who is a hybrid pocket spring double mattress best suited to?
It suits sleepers who want a supportive base with a layer of comfort on top, including couples sharing a 4ft6 bed and single sleepers who like extra width. It is a good all-rounder if you cannot decide between a foam mattress and a traditional sprung one.
What do pocket springs do in a double mattress?
Pocket springs are individually wrapped, so each one moves on its own rather than pulling on its neighbours. This helps the mattress support your body evenly and reduces the movement you feel when a partner turns over. It also lets air flow through the mattress.
Is a pocket sprung double mattress good for couples?
Because each spring works independently, a pocket sprung double mattress tends to limit motion transfer, so one person moving disturbs the other less. At 135cm wide, each sleeper has about 67cm. Couples wanting extra room may prefer to look at king size mattresses.
Will a 22cm double mattress fit a divan base or bed frame?
Yes, 22cm is a common mattress depth and fits most divan bases and bed frames of 135 x 190cm. If you have a low-sided frame or a short headboard, check that the mattress will not sit too high above the frame once it is in place.
Does a pocket spring hybrid mattress keep you cool?
The spring layer gives the mattress more breathability than dense solid foam because air can move through the gaps. Comfort layers on top still retain some warmth, so a ventilated bedroom and lighter bedding help. It is a sensible option if you often feel warm at night.
How does a pocket spring hybrid compare with a memory foam double mattress?
A hybrid usually feels more responsive and airy, while a full memory foam mattress feels slower and more body hugging. If you like a closer, sink-in feel, look at memory foam. If you like a supportive, lively feel with some cushioning, a hybrid is a good choice.
What double bedding fits this mattress?
Use standard double bedding and a double fitted sheet. With a 22cm depth, choose a fitted sheet with a pocket of around 25cm or deeper so the corners stay tucked in. Always check the pocket depth on the label before you buy.
What happens when my mattress arrives and how long before I can use it?
Delivery information is shown at checkout. When the mattress arrives, check the packaging for damage, then unwrap it in the bedroom and lay it flat. Allow a few hours for it to settle and reach its full shape before you make up the bed.
How often should I rotate a pocket spring mattress?
Rotate it head to foot every few weeks for the first couple of months, then every three months or so, unless the care label says otherwise. This helps wear spread evenly. Vacuum gently and spot clean only, letting the surface dry fully.
