Frequently Asked Questions
What does a 22cm medium firm memory foam double mattress feel like?
A medium firm feel sits between a hard mattress and a soft one. The memory foam eases into your shape while the base stops your hips sinking too far. It is a supportive middle ground, closer to firm than plush, which many sleepers find comfortable.
What size is this 4ft6 double mattress and which bed frames does it fit?
It measures 135 x 190cm, the standard UK double size. It fits any double bed frame or divan base with an internal sleeping space of the same size. Measure your frame before ordering and allow for a small tolerance at the sides.
Is 22cm deep enough for a firm mattress on a double bed?
At 22cm deep, this is a mid-depth mattress that suits most standard double frames and sits comfortably above the side rails. The depth leaves room for comfort layers and a supportive base without making the bed feel too high or hard to get into.
Is this a good orthopaedic mattress for back support?
Orthopaedic here means a firm, supportive style. This medium firm foam mattress aims to give a steady, comfortable sleeping surface, with foam that eases into your shape. It is a comfort choice, so check firmness and depth on the product page against how you sleep.
How does medium firm memory foam compare with a very firm mattress?
A very firm mattress or hard mattress feels flat and unyielding, with little cushioning at the shoulders and hips. Medium firm memory foam adds contouring while staying supportive, so it often suits people who want firmness without the hard feel. Side sleepers usually prefer this middle option.
Who might find this medium firm foam mattress too firm or too soft?
Lighter side sleepers who like a plush, cloud-like feel may find medium firm a little too supportive, while heavier sleepers may find it just right. If you are used to an extra firm mattress, it may feel softer than expected. Comfort is personal, so think about your usual sleeping position.
Does a memory foam mattress sleep warm and how is the airflow?
Memory foam can hold more body heat than open-coil designs because dense foam has less airflow. Keeping the room ventilated and letting the mattress air after unwrapping helps. If you tend to sleep hot, a hybrid with springs may feel airier than an all-foam design.
What should I do when my foam mattress is delivered?
Unwrap it in the room where it will be used and lay it on a clean, supportive base. Allow time for it to settle into its full shape and for any new-mattress smell to fade. Check the delivery details on the product page for dispatch information.
How should I care for and rotate a foam double mattress?
Rotate the mattress head to foot every few months to spread wear evenly. Keep it on a supportive, ventilated base and avoid folding it. Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and let it dry fully, and only flip it if the product details say it is two-sided.
Is a 22cm medium firm memory foam mattress a good buy for a double bed?
It is a sensible choice if you want a supportive foam mattress without a very hard feel, in the standard 4ft6 double size. Compare the depth, firmness and size with your bed and sleeping position, then choose the option that matches how you like to sleep.
