Frequently Asked Questions
What does 7-zone mean on this pocket sprung double mattress?
Seven zones means the spring unit is arranged in sections along the mattress, so different areas can respond a little differently. It is a comfort design feature. This mattress is a 4ft6 double with a medium firm feel and a 10.2 inch depth, so check that depth against your bed frame before ordering.
How thick is a 10.2 inch mattress in centimetres?
10.2 inches is roughly 26cm. That puts it comfortably in the thicker range without being extreme, so it works on most double frames. As always, measure your headboard and frame sides to be sure it will sit neatly.
Is a pocket sprung mattress better than an all-foam mattress?
Neither is better for everyone. Pocket springs usually feel more responsive and let more air move through the mattress, while foam tends to feel quieter and more cushioned. If you like a lively, supportive surface, a sprung mattress like this is worth considering.
Who is a medium firm sprung double mattress for?
It suits back, side and combination sleepers who want a balanced feel, neither too hard nor too soft. Couples with different habits often settle on medium firm as a compromise. Comfort is personal, so think about how you usually sleep and how much cushioning you like.
Will a 4ft6 sprung mattress fit a standard UK double bed frame?
Yes, 4ft6 is the standard UK double size, normally 135 x 190cm. Confirm the internal measurements of your frame, especially if it is an older or imported design. A snug fit helps keep the mattress in place.
Does a pocket sprung mattress sleep cooler?
Springs leave small air gaps through the mattress, which many people find helps it feel fresher than dense foam. Room temperature, bedding and your own body heat still play a large part. Natural-fibre bedding can add to the breathable feel.
What should I know about mattress delivery before ordering?
Delivery details and timings are on the product page and at checkout. Measure doors, stairs and tight corners, because a sprung double is bulkier than foam. Plan where it will be unpacked and keep the route clear for whoever brings it.
How do I look after a zoned pocket sprung mattress?
Rotate it head to foot every few months so the springs wear evenly. Keep it on a firm, ventilated base and air the room regularly. Clean spills with a lightly damp cloth, then let the surface dry before putting bedding back.
Which mattress should I choose if I share a bed?
Sharing usually means balancing two preferences, so medium firm is a common starting point. Pocket springs tend to limit how much movement travels across the bed, though no mattress removes it entirely. Check size and depth first, then think about feel.
What mattress should I buy online if I cannot try it first?
Start with the correct size, then decide on firmness and construction. When you buy a mattress online, descriptions matter, so compare depth, firmness and type. There is no best mattress for everyone, but medium firm is a sensible, widely liked middle ground.
