Frequently Asked Questions
Does this king size memory foam mattress fit a 5ft bed frame?
It is made for 5ft king size frames, which measure 150 x 200cm in the UK. Check the inside dimensions of your frame, headboard and footboard before ordering, as a snug fit stops the foam edges shifting or overhanging.
Who is a medium firm king size mattress best for?
The 150cm width gives couples comfortable space, and a medium firm feel suits partners who want gentle contouring without feeling stuck in the foam. It also works for a single sleeper who enjoys a large bed.
How does memory foam help when two people share a bed?
Memory foam absorbs movement rather than passing it across the surface, so you are less likely to feel a partner turning over. It also moulds to each person's shape, which helps both sleepers feel comfortable on the same bed.
What does medium firm mean for a king size foam mattress?
Medium firm sits between plush and very firm. You get cushioning at the shoulders and hips with a steadier base underneath. It is a popular choice if you cannot decide between a soft memory foam mattress and a firm one.
Can a large king size foam mattress feel warm to sleep on?
Memory foam can hold body heat more than a sprung mattress, and two sleepers add to that. This model is not sold as cooling, so use breathable bedding and good ventilation if you or your partner sleep warm.
How deep is this king size memory foam mattress?
The depth is shown in the product details, so check it against your frame and fitted sheets before buying. Deeper mattresses usually feel plusher, while slimmer ones sit lower and suit frames with high sides.
What bedding is right for a 5ft king size mattress?
Choose king size bedding, designed for 150 x 200cm mattresses. A king duvet cover and king fitted sheet will fit well. Compare the sheet depth with the mattress depth so the corners stay firmly in place.
How will a king size mattress be delivered and set up?
Foam mattresses usually arrive compressed in a box, which makes handling easier than a bulky sprung model. Take it to the bedroom before unwrapping, then allow around 24 hours for it to expand fully and air the room.
How do I keep a king size foam mattress in good shape?
Rotate it head to foot every few months to spread wear, and keep the base ventilated. With two people on a large bed, check the foam regularly for dips. Spot clean spills with a lightly damp cloth.
Is the best memory foam mattress UK couples can buy always better than a pocket sprung?
Not always. Foam offers contouring and motion absorption, while pocket sprung and hybrid mattresses feel bouncier and more airy. For a king size memory foam mattress, think about how you like to feel when you lie down.
