Frequently Asked Questions
How deep is a 26cm hybrid mattress and will it suit my bed frame?
At 26cm, this is a deep, substantial mattress. It suits most modern double frames, but check that the side rails or headboard leave enough clearance. Deeper mattresses can also affect fitted bedding choice, so measure your bed before ordering.
What does medium firm mean on a 26cm hybrid mattress?
Medium firm sits just above the middle of the firmness scale. You get firm support from the spring unit with a little cushioning on top. It is a good option if you want a firm mattress feel without going as far as an extra firm or hard mattress.
Is the 4ft6 double size 135 x 190cm?
Yes, this mattress is a 4ft6 UK double measuring 135 x 190cm. Check the internal dimensions of your bed frame or divan base against these measurements. If your bed is a different size, such as a small double or king, choose the matching mattress size instead.
How is a hybrid mattress built?
A hybrid pairs a spring base with comfort layers above, usually foam or fibre. The springs provide support and airflow, while the upper layers add cushioning. This combination is popular with people who want a supportive firm mattress that still feels comfortable on the surface.
Is this an orthopaedic mattress UK sleepers can use for back support?
Orthopaedic describes a firm, supportive style of mattress. A medium firm hybrid like this offers a steady, comfortable surface, with a spring base and cushioning layers above. If you want a firmer feel, compare the orthopaedic listings here and check the 26cm depth suits your frame.
Does a deep hybrid mattress sleep cooler than foam?
Spring-based hybrids generally allow more air movement than solid foam because of the space between the coils. That can help the mattress feel less warm overnight. Room temperature, bedding and your own body heat still matter, so results differ between sleepers.
Who may find this medium firm mattress too firm?
Lighter sleepers and side sleepers who like a soft, sinking feel may find medium firm quite supportive. Heavier sleepers and back sleepers often like it. If you are unsure, think about how your current mattress feels and whether you want more or less give.
What is the difference between medium firm and soft mattresses?
Soft mattresses let your body sink in further, giving a plush, enveloping feel. Medium firm keeps you more level and supported, with less sinking at the hips. If you often wake feeling stuck in a hollow, a firmer feel may be worth trying.
How do I look after and rotate a 26cm hybrid mattress?
Rotate it head to foot every few months to spread wear, and use two people when moving it as it is deep and heavy. Keep it on a supportive base, vacuum lightly and spot clean with a damp cloth. Let it dry fully.
Is a 26cm medium firm hybrid worth buying for a double bed?
It suits anyone wanting a deep, supportive double with a firm-leaning feel. Make sure your frame has enough depth clearance, confirm the 135 x 190cm size and consider your sleeping position before you buy. Compare it with the other firm mattresses in this collection.
