Do you sell continental double sized mattresses?

We’ve had a nightmare trying to find a decent mattress to fit our Ikea double bed frame. Do you have any guidance on comparisons to Ikea mattresses?

Hi Julia,

Thank you for your enquiry on our website.  We can make the size of mattress you refer to in our the Artisan range which is constructed with predominantly natural fibres. Having said that, there is a cost implication as the size is not a standard UK size which would be 10% per 6-inch increment.  Another thing to consider is that there is no ’60 day love it or return it’ guarantee with any bespoke item.

I am not able to make a specific recommendation without knowledge of your body weights, preferred feel and budget.  Your body weight(s) will determine the spring tension, this ensures you get the correct support.

BodyweightSpring tension
Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kgMedium (1.4mm)
16 Stone / 101kg UpwardsFirm (1.6mm)
Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call)Soft (1.2mm)

Different fibres are used in the upholstery layers to give different ‘feel’ and as comfort is subjective to each individual, your preferences and sleeping habits would determine which model would be suitable for yourself. If you’re looking for direct comparisons to IKEA mattresses there’s a handy guide we’ve written here.
