Frequently Asked Questions
Is this 25cm memory foam and pocket spring mattress a standard 3ft single?
Yes, a 3ft single is the standard UK size of 90 x 190cm, so it fits frames made for a single bed. Measure the inside of your frame to be sure, and check that the sides are high enough for a 25cm deep mattress.
Who should consider a memory foam and pocket spring single?
It suits single sleepers who want springs for support and memory foam for cushioning, such as teenagers, students or guests. If you prefer a purely springy feel with no foam layer, a standard pocket sprung mattress may suit you better.
What do pocket springs add to a memory foam mattress?
Pocket springs add responsive support, because each spring moves independently under your weight. The memory foam above adds a soft, contouring layer. Together they give a mix that feels less like a flat foam block and more like a layered mattress.
How soft or firm will this single mattress feel?
Please see the product page for the feel of this mattress. A spring base with a foam layer usually gives support with some cushioning. Firmness is personal, so think about whether you like a gentle sink-in feel or a more responsive surface.
Does a memory foam and spring mattress get warm in bed?
Springs let air move through the mattress more freely than solid foam, but the memory foam layer can retain some warmth. We cannot promise a cool night, so breathable bedding and a ventilated room can help you stay comfortable.
How deep is 25cm, and will it look right on my single bed?
Twenty-five centimetres is about 10 inches, a medium to deep mattress. It looks substantial on most single frames. Check that your headboard and frame sides leave enough height, and that fitted sheets are deep enough for the mattress.
What is the difference between this and an all-memory-foam single?
An all-foam mattress feels slower and softer throughout, with less airflow. A memory foam and pocket spring mattress adds an independent spring layer for bounce and support. If you like to feel held up rather than wrapped, springs plus foam may suit you.
What should I do with the mattress when it is delivered?
Unwrap it on a flat surface, being careful with the cover, and place it on your base. Leave it a few hours to settle into its full shape. A faint smell when first unwrapped is normal and generally fades after airing the room.
Can I flip a memory foam and pocket spring mattress?
No, the foam layer is meant to face upwards, so do not flip it. Instead rotate it head to foot every few weeks at first, then every couple of months. Keep it on a supportive base and vacuum the surface lightly.
Is a pocket sprung memory foam mattress a good buy for a spare room single?
It can be, because it combines support with a cushioned feel that suits many different guests. Check the depth, size and comfort level on the listing. A standard 90 x 190cm size also means bedding is easy to find.
