Frequently Asked Questions
Does this breathable memory foam mattress fit a standard 4ft6 double frame?
Yes, it is made in the 4ft6 double size of 135 x 190cm, the standard UK double. Measure the inner width and length of your bed frame before ordering so you know it sits snugly without gaps or overhang.
Who should consider a breathable double memory foam mattress?
A 4ft6 double suits couples who like a cosy bed, single sleepers who want room to spread out, and spare rooms. It is a good fit if you want the contouring feel of a memory foam mattress in the most common UK bed size.
How does memory foam respond to body shape and movement?
Memory foam softens with body warmth and slowly moulds around you, then returns to shape when you move. This helps spread weight and can reduce how much you feel a partner turning over, which many couples appreciate.
Is this a soft or firm memory foam mattress?
Memory foam tends to feel softer and more cushioned than a sprung mattress. This one is not described as firm or orthopaedic, so expect a comfortable moulding feel. For a firmer feel, browse our medium firm memory foam mattresses instead.
What does breathable mean for a foam mattress, and will it sleep cool?
Breathable describes a design intended to let air move through the mattress more freely. Even so, foam can retain some warmth compared with sprung mattresses, so it is not a guarantee of cool sleeping. Airy bedding and a ventilated room help.
How deep is this double foam mattress?
Mattress depth is listed on the product page, so check it against your bed frame and bedding before buying. Deeper foam mattresses usually feel more cushioned, while slimmer ones suit divan bases and bunk-style frames with limited clearance.
What size bedding do I need for a 4ft6 double?
Choose standard double bedding, which is made for 135cm-wide mattresses. Check the fitted sheet depth against the mattress depth on the product page so the corners stay tight and the sheet does not slip off the foam.
What should I expect when the double mattress arrives in a box?
Foam mattresses are usually rolled and compressed for delivery. Carry it to the bedroom, remove the packaging, and let it expand for 24 hours or more. Some new foam has a mild smell at first, which fades in a well-aired room.
What is the best way to care for a foam mattress long term?
Rotate it head to foot every few months, keep the bed base slatted or ventilated, and spot clean spills with a lightly damp cloth. Avoid heavy soaking and strong heat, as both can affect how the foam feels over time.
How do I choose the best memory foam mattress UK shoppers can buy for a double?
Match size to your frame, then think about firmness, depth and how warm you sleep. A memory foam mattress suits people who like a cushioned feel, while pocket sprung or hybrid options feel bouncier. Read the full product details before you decide.
