Frequently Asked Questions
Will this 5ft king size mattress in a box fit my bed frame?
A 5ft king size is the standard UK king size, 150 x 200cm. Measure the inside of your frame before ordering and allow only a small gap around the mattress. Remember the box is only for delivery, the finished mattress will expand to full size.
Who is a 9 inch pocket sprung mattress best for?
A 9 inch depth suits people who like a mid-depth mattress and sleepers with a lower bed frame or divan where a very thick mattress would feel too tall. It works for couples and single occupants wanting a spring mattress for a king bed.
How do pocket springs work in this mattress in a box?
Each spring has its own fabric pocket, so springs compress separately under your weight. This helps the surface follow your shape and keeps movement from spreading across the bed, which is helpful for couples sharing a king size sprung mattress.
How firm will this pocket sprung mattress feel?
Please check the listing details for the feel of this mattress. As a pocket sprung design, it should feel responsive and supportive rather than sink-in. Firmness is personal, so consider whether you like a springy bed or a softer, hugging surface.
Is airflow good in a pocket spring mattress?
Spring mattresses leave space between the coils, so air can move through the mattress more freely than through dense foam. That helps keep it feeling fresh. Bedding choice and room ventilation also affect how warm or cool you feel overnight.
How deep is a 9 inch mattress in centimetres?
Nine inches is about 23cm. That is a moderate depth, easy to fit with most standard fitted sheets and suitable for many bed frames. Check the product page for the exact measurement before you order.
What should I do when a mattress in a box arrives?
Place the box where you want to use the mattress, then cut the packaging carefully and let the mattress expand. It can take several hours to reach its full shape, and sometimes a day or so. Do not sleep on it until it has fully expanded.
Does a spring mattress in a box feel different from one delivered flat?
Once it has fully expanded, a boxed mattress should feel like any other pocket sprung mattress of that build. Allow enough time for it to expand and settle, since sleeping on it too early can make it feel firmer or uneven for a short while.
How often should I turn or rotate a king size sprung mattress?
Rotate the mattress head to foot every few weeks in the first months and then every two to three months. This spreads wear evenly. Use a supportive base, keep the room ventilated and avoid standing or jumping on the mattress.
How does a pocket sprung mattress compare with memory foam or open coil?
A pocket sprung mattress is more responsive and breathable than memory foam, and individual springs adapt better than the linked springs of an open coil mattress. If you want a deep sink-in feel, foam may be a better match for you.
