Frequently Asked Questions
What size is this pocket sprung and memory foam hybrid mattress in 5ft king?
It is a king size mattress, which is 5ft wide and measures 150 x 200cm. It fits a UK king size bed frame with the same internal size. Always measure your frame inside the rails before ordering.
How are pocket springs and memory foam combined in this king size mattress?
A layer of memory foam sits above a pocket spring unit. The foam shapes itself around your body for pressure comfort, while the individually wrapped springs below respond to your weight and give support. The result is a blend of cushioning and bounce.
Is this king size hybrid a good choice for side sleepers?
Side sleepers often like a bit of cushioning at the shoulders and hips, and the memory foam layer can provide that on top of a supportive spring base. Firmness is not stated in the title, so check the listing details too.
Will a king size pocket sprung mattress disturb my partner when I move?
Pocket springs are wrapped individually, so they react to movement locally rather than across the whole bed. That generally means less motion passes across the mattress than with linked springs. It is a helpful feature for couples sharing a king bed.
Does memory foam on a spring base make a king mattress hot?
The spring layer encourages airflow, which helps offset the warmth foam can hold. Some people still feel a little warm with any memory foam. Choose breathable bedding, keep the room cool and let the mattress air when you strip the bed.
How do I check my king size bed frame is the right fit?
Measure the internal length and width between the frame rails and headboard. For a 5ft king you want about 150 x 200cm. Also check slat spacing and side height so the mattress is properly supported and held in place.
Which duvet and sheets match a king size mattress?
King size fitted sheets and a king size duvet suit a 150 x 200cm mattress. Check the fitted sheet depth against the mattress height listed on the product page. A mismatch in sheet size is the most common cause of corners slipping off.
What happens when my compressed king size mattress arrives?
Carry it to the bedroom before opening, then cut off the outer wrapping and unroll it on the base. It expands over the following hours, and may keep settling for a day or two. Open a window if there is any initial smell.
How do I care for a memory foam and pocket spring mattress?
Rotate it head to foot every couple of months and let it air when changing the bedding. Keep it dry and on a solid or well-slatted base. Spot clean marks gently and do not saturate the foam, which can be slow to dry.
Is this a better buy than a plain memory foam king size mattress?
It depends on what you value. A plain memory foam mattress is quiet and very contouring, while a pocket sprung and memory foam mix adds bounce, support and airflow. If you want a balanced king size mattress, the combined design is a strong choice.
