Total mattress depth

Mattresses are available in a variety of depths but deeper does not always equate to better
Consider the size of any existing fitted sheets you are planning on using
Consider the total height of your bed and mattress to ensure it is easy to get in and out

  • Regular: 20cm (8 inches)
    By far the most popular depth and can provide ample support and comfort for the majority of customers
     
  • Deep: Over 20cm (8 inches)
    A deeper mattress is often considered a more luxury mattress which tend to be slightly softer depending on its construction. This will affect the overall height of you bed
     
  • Shallow: Under 20cm (8 inches)
    Usually a budget or children’s mattress

 

Memory foam depth

Memory foam mattresses are manufactured using layers of foam
Memory foam is used for the top or upper layers
Reflex or high density (HD) polyurethane foam is used for the support or base layer

  • Memory foam tends to be of a higher density than the support foam.
  • As a rule of thumb the deeper the memory foam the firmer the mattress
  • Premium mattresses use multiple layers of memory foam with the top layer being 'super soft' which creates less overall firmness whilst reducing pressure on the body

 

Number of springs

The number of springs a mattress is stated as having is based on a 5' or king size mattress.
The higher the number of pocket springs the smaller each spring

  • Smaller springs contour round the sleeper more efficiently
  • Reduce rolling toward each other or disturbing your partner
  • The more springs the softer the overall feel tends to be

 

Mattress cover type

Mattress covers can change the overall feel and performance of the mattress dependant on the materials used and the way the cover is constructed.
