Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this 28cm medium firm hybrid pocket sprung mattress different?
It combines a pocket sprung core with foam comfort layers in a tall 28cm build and a medium firm feel. That depth gives it a generous, premium look on the bed, while the pocket springs provide supportive, responsive sleeping.
What size is a 160 x 200cm hybrid mattress?
This is the UK super king size, 160cm wide by 200cm long. Many retailers label it as a super king hybrid mattress. It gives each sleeper more width than a standard king, so it suits couples who like space to spread out.
Will a 160 x 200cm mattress fit my bed frame?
Your frame needs an internal sleeping area of about 160cm by 200cm. Measure inside the frame at the head, middle and foot, because some frames vary. Also check the room can take the extra width, including space to walk around the bed.
Who is a medium firm hybrid mattress right for?
Medium firm is a popular all-rounder. It suits back and combination sleepers who like support, and many side sleepers find it comfortable too. If you prefer a very soft or very hard bed, it may be worth trying a different firmness.
What does pocket sprung mean in a hybrid mattress?
Pocket springs are individual coils, each sewn into its own fabric pocket. They work independently, so one side of the bed moves less when the other sleeper turns over. Foam layers on top add cushioning to this supportive spring core.
How does medium firm compare with soft or extra firm?
Medium firm sits in the middle of the range. It gives more support than a soft mattress but still has enough cushioning to feel comfortable at the shoulders and hips, and it is less rigid than an extra firm bed.
Does a pocket sprung hybrid keep you cooler than memory foam alone?
Often it does. Pocket springs leave air channels through the core, so heat can escape more easily than from a dense foam block. The foam layers still add some warmth, but the overall feel is usually fresher than an all-foam mattress.
Is a 28cm deep mattress too tall for my headboard?
At 28cm this mattress is quite tall, so check the clearance on your headboard and the height of your frame sides. A deep mattress on a high divan can look imposing and make getting in and out of bed harder.
What bedding fits a 160 x 200cm super king mattress?
Choose super king bedding and fitted sheets with a deep pocket suitable for 28cm depth. A standard king sheet will be too small, so check the size label on both the sheet and the duvet before you buy.
Is this hybrid worth buying over a memory foam or plain pocket sprung mattress?
It is worth considering if you want both support and comfort. Memory foam feels more enclosing, while plain pocket sprung is bouncier with less cushioning. A hybrid sits between the two, and it should be rotated every few months to wear evenly.
