Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact dimensions of this gel and charcoal foam double?
It measures 135 x 190 x 20cm, the UK 4ft6 double footprint with a 20cm depth. Check the inner dimensions of your bed frame before ordering so the mattress sits snugly without leaving large gaps.
What does bamboo charcoal foam mean in a mattress?
Bamboo charcoal is an ingredient blended into the foam, and it is usually included to help the mattress feel fresher. It is a comfort feature rather than a guarantee of results. The mattress also uses gel foam.
How firm is a medium gel and charcoal foam mattress?
Medium means a balanced feel between soft and firm, with gentle contouring from the foam. It suits a wide range of sleepers, including those who change position. How it feels will also depend on your weight and sleeping style.
Is a 20cm foam mattress deep enough for a double bed?
Twenty centimetres is a moderate depth that works on almost any standard double frame and leaves plenty of headboard clearance. It is slimmer than deep or luxury mattresses, so it suits a simple, lower profile.
Will a gel foam mattress sleep cool?
Gel and charcoal are often added for a fresher feel, but foam can still hold some body heat. No mattress guarantees a cool night. Lighter bedding, a ventilated base and a cooler bedroom all help.
What bedding fits a 135 x 190 x 20cm mattress?
Double fitted sheets made for 135 x 190cm will fit. At 20cm deep, most standard fitted sheets cope, but check the pocket depth on the label. Duvets and pillowcases are chosen separately.
Can I buy a foam mattress online and have it boxed for delivery?
Yes, you can buy it online. Packaging format and delivery timings are listed on the product page and at checkout. Foam mattresses are often supplied boxed, which can ease access up stairs. Unpack in the bedroom.
How do I care for a gel and charcoal foam mattress?
Rotate it head to foot every few months so the foam wears evenly. Keep it on a slatted or solid base with airflow. Blot spills with a lightly damp cloth, avoid soaking the foam, and dry it fully.
Who suits a medium foam double mattress?
It suits sleepers who like gentle contouring and a balanced feel, including couples with different preferences. If you prefer a very firm, bouncy or very plush surface, it is worth comparing other types before you decide.
Which mattress is best for a good value everyday double?
No single mattress is best for everyone, but a 20cm medium foam double is a practical choice for everyday use. When you shop for a good mattress UK-wide, compare size, depth and firmness rather than relying on one feature.
