Frequently Asked Questions
Does this 12 inch cooling foam and sprung mattress fit a standard 4ft6 double bed?
It is made for 4ft6 double frames, which are normally 135 x 190cm in the UK. Measure your bed before ordering. At 12 inches, around 30cm, it is a tall mattress, so check the height against your headboard.
Who suits a memory foam and spring mattress in a double size?
It suits people who like the cushioning of memory foam but also want the more open, supportive feel that springs can bring. It works for couples in a standard double and for anyone who finds pure foam too sink-in.
What does the memory foam layer add to a sprung mattress?
The foam on top softens with body heat and moulds around you, adding a cushioned, pressure-spreading surface over the sprung layer. The result feels less bouncy than springs alone and less sink-in than all-foam.
How firm is a foam and sprung double mattress likely to feel?
Combining foam with springs usually gives a feel between plush all-foam and a bouncier sprung mattress. The listing does not claim a specific firmness grade, so expect a balanced comfort and check the product page for details.
Is this cooling mattress really cooler than all-foam?
The spring layer lets air move more freely than solid foam, and the cooling design aims to keep the surface fresher. Memory foam can still hold some warmth, so it will not feel icy. Breathable bedding helps further.
Is a 12 inch mattress too deep for my bed?
Twelve inches is about 30cm, a substantial depth. It sits well on most divans and frames, but a bed with low side rails or a short headboard may look unbalanced. Measure the height before you buy.
What bedding do I need for a deep 4ft6 double mattress?
Standard double bedding fits the 135 x 190cm size, but choose fitted sheets with an extra-deep pocket of at least 30cm because of the 12 inch depth. Thin, shallow sheets will slip off the corners.
How is a foam and sprung mattress delivered and set up?
Delivery details are on the product page. Sprung mattresses are heavier and often arrive in a different way to rolled foam, so plan a clear route to the bedroom. Allow time for any foam layer to settle once unwrapped.
Should I rotate or flip a cooling foam and sprung mattress?
Rotate it head to foot every few months so wear stays even. Mattresses with a foam comfort layer on one side are generally not flipped. Keep the base ventilated and spot clean marks with a lightly damp cloth.
Is this better than a pure memory foam mattress UK sleepers choose?
It depends on feel. A pure memory foam mattress hugs more closely, while a foam and sprung design feels more responsive and airy. If you like some bounce with a cushioned top, this style is worth comparing.
