Frequently Asked Questions
Will this 13cm orthopaedic memory foam mattress fit my 5ft king size bed?
It is made for the 5ft king size of 150 x 200cm. Measure the inside of your frame to confirm the fit. At 13cm deep it is a slimmer mattress, so it sits lower on the bed than deeper king size models.
Who is an orthopaedic king size memory foam mattress suited to?
It suits sleepers who like a firmer, more supportive feel with a touch of foam cushioning on top. Couples who want a steady surface across a wide 150cm bed often find this style appealing.
What does orthopaedic mean when buying a memory foam mattress?
In bedding, orthopaedic is a name for a firm, supportive mattress style. It describes a firmer feel than a soft, sink-in memory foam mattress. Check the 13cm depth on the product page and compare firmness with other options before you buy.
How firm is a 13cm firm memory foam mattress?
Expect a firmer, flatter feel than a standard plush foam bed, with only a little contouring on the surface. With 13cm of depth, there is less foam to sink into, which suits people who dislike a soft, hugging mattress.
Does a firm foam mattress sleep hot?
Memory foam can retain body heat, although a firmer, slimmer build means you sit more on top than in it. This mattress is not sold as cooling, so breathable bedding and a ventilated room remain useful.
Is 13cm enough depth for a king size mattress?
13cm is a slim depth that gives a firm, low-profile bed. It suits sleepers who want less cushioning and a lower height. If you want a plusher feel on a king size, a deeper mattress will give more cushioning.
What king size bedding fits a slim 13cm mattress?
Standard king size bedding, made for 150 x 200cm beds, fits well. Because the mattress is slim, regular-depth fitted sheets will usually be enough, so you do not need to buy extra-deep ones.
How is an orthopaedic foam mattress delivered and when can I use it?
It is normally delivered compressed and rolled in a box. Unwrap it in the bedroom and let it expand for around 24 hours before sleeping on it. Ventilate the room to help any slight new-foam smell fade.
How do I look after a firm king size foam mattress?
Rotate it head to foot every few months to even out wear, and keep it on a solid or slatted, ventilated base. Spot clean marks with a lightly damp cloth, and avoid soaking the foam.
Should I choose firm foam or an orthopaedic pocket sprung king size?
Firm memory foam gives a quiet, steady surface with slight contouring, while a pocket sprung orthopaedic style feels bouncier and more open. Choose by the feel you prefer, and think about your room, frame and budget.
