Frequently Asked Questions
What does 4000 pocket sprung mean in a small double mattress?
It refers to the number of pocket springs in the mattress, here 4000. Each spring sits in its own fabric pocket and moves on its own, so a high spring count means many springs shaping the surface to your body across a 120cm width.
Will this 120 x 190cm mattress fit my small double frame?
A 120 x 190cm mattress fits frames made for a 4ft small double. It will not fit a 135cm standard double frame. Measure the inside of your frame carefully and allow only a small gap at the sides so the mattress sits flat.
Who is a 4000 spring mattress best suited to?
It suits people who like a layered, springy build and want a small double for a compact room or a guest bed. The title describes it as natural, so check the product page for details. Comfort is personal, so consider your preferred firmness.
How does a 4000 pocket spring mattress feel underneath you?
Check the listing for the feel of this mattress. With thousands of individual springs it should feel supportive and responsive, adapting to your shape rather than dipping as one piece. Firmness is personal, so compare it with how firm you like your bed.
Does a high spring count mean better airflow?
Not necessarily, but spring mattresses generally allow more air to pass through than solid foam because there is space around the coils. Comfort layers on top can still hold warmth, so bedding and room ventilation also matter for a comfortable night.
What is the difference between a small double and a double mattress?
A small double is 120cm wide, while a double is 135cm wide, and both are 190cm long. The extra width makes a double roomier for two people, but a small double is ideal where space is tight or for one sleeper.
How does a 4000 spring mattress compare with a 1000 pocket sprung mattress?
A 1000 pocket sprung mattress is already supportive, while 4000 springs means more, smaller springs working across the surface. It can give a more detailed feel, but depth, comfort layers and firmness matter just as much as the number itself.
What should I do when this mattress arrives?
Unwrap it on a flat surface, being careful with the cover, then lift it onto your base. Allow a few hours for it to settle into its full shape before sleeping on it. Any slight smell from packaging normally fades once the room is aired.
How often should I rotate my small double mattress?
Rotate it head to foot every few weeks in the first months and then every two to three months. This spreads wear evenly. Keep it on a firm, ventilated base, vacuum lightly and avoid standing on the mattress.
Is a 4000 pocket sprung natural mattress a good value buy?
It may suit you if you like many fine springs and the small double size. Value depends on depth, feel and your own needs, so read the full listing. Compare it with other pocket sprung mattresses on firmness and spring count before deciding.
