I have a 4ft 6 in double bed where the mattress drops in to a recess about 4 cm deep. Can you supply a mattress to suit this?
Hi Ian,
Thank you for your enquiry. The depth of our mattresses is between 27 cm and 37 cm. I am correct in assuming that you have a wooden bed frame with slats that the mattress sits inside the frame? If the inside measurements are 137 cm x 190 cm then a standard double mattress will fit inside the recess. If the space between the slats is more than 7.5 cm we would advise boarding over the slats to give a mattress a uniform surface. If the gap is less than 7.5 cm then an old or cheap duvet will protect the underside of the mattress from indentations.
| Bodyweight | Spring tension |
|---|---|
| Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kg | Medium (1.4mm) |
| 16 Stone / 101kg Upwards | Firm (1.6mm) |
| Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call) | Soft (1.2mm) |
When purchasing a new mattress there are a few things to consider. The bodyweight of the sleepers will determine which spring tension will give you the correct level of support. Your comfort preferences and sleeping habits determine how the mattress should feel to give you a comfortable nights sleep.
| How much to spend on a double mattress? | What can I expect for my money? |
|---|---|
| Under £500 | Will not get you much at best a 13.5 gauge open coil/cage sprung with a thin polyester layer or a solid foam mattress. |
| £500 | Entry level spunbond springs with some form of synthetic upholstery. Usually one sided mattresses. |
| £750 | The beginnings of a basic pocket springs unit with 800 – 1000 count. No substantial amount of filling other than foams and synthetic materials. Two sided models. |
| £1000 | Should get you away from most low ranges and into the mid-range pocket spring models. |
| £1250 | Should get you a decent pocket sprung mattress with some Natural Fibre content. |
| £1500 | Should get you many manufacturers mid-range models with Natural Fibres |
| £1500-£2000 | Should get you a Hand Made primarily Natural Fibre Quality Mattress |
| £2000+ | You should expect 100% Natural Fibres and Traditional Hand Made Construction Method. |
| £5000+ | A Bespoke Hand Made Sleep System, High-end Spring Units & Featuring the Worlds Most Luxurious Natural Fibres. |
Budget is a main concern for most customers, determining this before you start looking a mattress will help you get the best mattress you can afford.
