Frequently Asked Questions
What are the measurements of this 22cm pocket sprung hybrid king mattress?
It is a 5ft king size at 150 x 200cm, with a depth of 22cm, which is about 8.7 inches. It suits a standard UK king bed frame. Measure your frame inside the rails and check it matches.
Is a 22cm mattress a good depth for a king size bed?
Twenty-two centimetres is a sensible mid-range depth. It gives room for a pocket spring unit and comfort layers without looking too tall on the frame. It is a good fit for a wide range of king size bed frames and headboards.
What advantages do pocket springs give in a king size hybrid mattress?
Each spring is wrapped in its own fabric pocket, so it compresses on its own. This supports your body more precisely and helps reduce movement passing across the bed. It also leaves gaps for air to move through the mattress.
Is this king size mattress right for people who share the bed?
With 150cm of width and independent springs, it is a reasonable choice for couples. Each person gets about 75cm, so very tall or restless sleepers may want a 6ft super king instead. Independent springs also help limit disturbance.
Does a pocket sprung hybrid king mattress run warm or cool?
Pocket sprung hybrids tend to be breathable because the springs create channels for air. This can make them feel fresher than dense foam. Actual comfort depends on the top layers, your bedding and the temperature of the bedroom.
How do I check a king size mattress will work with my headboard?
Measure from the base of the frame to the top of the mattress and compare it to the headboard height. A 22cm mattress usually leaves enough headboard visible. Also check that the headboard is not set so close that it traps the mattress edge.
Which sheet and duvet sizes go with a 150 x 200cm mattress?
Buy king size fitted sheets and a king size duvet. A standard pocket depth fits a 22cm mattress easily. Avoid mixing with double or super king bedding, as sizes that are close can still look untidy or slip.
What should I do when my king size hybrid mattress is delivered?
Check the packaging for damage, then carry it to the bedroom before unwrapping. Remove the plastic and let the mattress settle on the base. Mattresses can take a little time to reach full shape, so be patient before judging the feel.
How should a pocket sprung hybrid mattress be cleaned and rotated?
Vacuum the surface gently and spot clean with a damp cloth when needed, then let it dry. Rotate head to foot every couple of months so the springs and fillings wear evenly. Keep the mattress aired and avoid soaking it.
Is a king size pocket sprung mattress better than a memory foam one?
Neither is better for everyone. Pocket sprung mattresses feel more bouncy and breathable, while memory foam is more contouring and quiet. A hybrid like this tries to blend both, which suits many people choosing a king size mattress.
