What types of double size mattresses are available? >
Double Memory Foam Mattresses Experience complete and personalised support throughout the night with a memory foam mattress. These mattresses use your body heat to conform to your unique shape, providing customised support before returning to their original form in the morning.
Double Size Pocket Sprung Mattresses Perfect for solo sleepers or couples who move frequently at night, double pocket spring mattresses feature thousands of individually wrapped pocket springs that operate independently, minimising motion transfer.
Double Orthopaedic Mattresses Ideal for those with lower back pain or achy joints, a double orthopaedic mattress promotes healthy spinal alignment while you sleep, relieving pressure on your body without sacrificing comfort.
Double Size Latex Mattresses Our double latex foam mattresses provide the same customised support as memory foam but are also hypoallergenic due to their latex construction, making them ideal for those with allergies or asthma.
Double Hybrid Mattresses A double hybrid mattress combines the support of foam and springs, offering the best of both worlds. These mattresses can feature pocket springs or open coil springs, paired with layers of comfortable memory, latex, or reflex foam.

Is a double mattress suitable for couples? >
Yes, a double mattress can be suitable for couples, especially if space is limited. However, it may feel a bit cramped for some, as a standard double mattress in the UK measures 135cm by 190cm (4ft 6 inches by 6ft 3 inches). For more spacious comfort, many couples prefer a king size mattress, which offers additional width. If you and your partner prefer more room to move, upgrading to a king size mattress or even a super king size mattress might be a better option.
Can a child use a double mattress? >
Yes, a child can use a double mattress. In fact, a double mattress can provide ample space for a growing child, allowing them to move around comfortably during the night. It also offers extra space for parents to join their child for bedtime stories or comforting during the night. Additionally, a double mattress can be a long-term investment, accommodating the child through their teenage years and even into adulthood.
