Frequently Asked Questions
What does cool blue gel memory foam mean on this king mattress?
It describes a blue-coloured gel-infused memory foam layer over a spring base. The aim is a fresher, more breathable feel, but it is a comfort feature rather than a guarantee. Individual experience will vary.
What size is this 5ft king gel foam spring mattress?
It is a 5ft UK king, usually 150 x 200cm, with a depth of 9 inches, or about 23cm. Measure the inside of your bed frame before ordering to confirm that the size is right.
Is 9 inches deep enough for a king size mattress?
Nine inches, about 23cm, is a comfortable mid-depth that suits most king frames and headboards. It is not as thick as the deepest mattresses, so it keeps a more modest height on the bed.
How does a gel memory foam spring mattress feel?
The gel memory foam on top contours softly, while the spring base underneath adds lift and airflow. It generally feels more responsive than all-foam mattresses. Exact firmness is shown on the product page.
Will a cool blue gel mattress stop me getting hot at night?
It may feel fresher than plain foam, but no mattress can guarantee a cool night. Spring construction helps air move, and gel is a comfort feature. Bedding, room temperature and personal heat levels still play a big part.
What king size sheets fit a 9 inch mattress?
Choose king fitted sheets for 150 x 200cm. At about 23cm deep, most deep-fit sheets work, but check the pocket depth on the label to make sure the corners stay snug.
What should I know about king mattress delivery?
King mattresses are long and heavy, so measure stairs, landings and doors before ordering. Delivery details and timings are on the product page and at checkout. Clear the route and unpack in the bedroom.
How often should I rotate a king gel foam spring mattress?
Turn it head to foot every few months, ideally with a helper. Use a base that supports the full width and air the room regularly. Spot clean with a lightly damp cloth and let the mattress dry fully.
Should I pick gel foam or standard foam on a king?
Gel foam is an extra comfort feature that some people like for a fresher feel. Standard foam can be just as comfortable. Compare depth, firmness and size first, and consider the gel a bonus rather than the deciding factor.
Which mattress should I buy for a king bed if I tend to run warm?
No mattress is best for every sleeper. A spring-based king with gel memory foam is a sensible option to consider, because the spring layer helps airflow. Pair it with breathable bedding for the best chance of a comfortable night.
