Mattress and Mattresses
With us spending so much of our lives in bed, it is worth thinking seriously before committing to a mattress, especially as there is so much to think about before buying.
The first, and in many ways easiest decision is the size of mattress you need.
Single Mattresses
Single mattresses are, as the name suggests, ideal for a person on their own, or a child. Measuring 3 foot in width (or 90 cm) and 6 foot 3 long (190 cm) they are used either in small bedrooms or as part of a pair in a twin room.
Double Mattresses
The classic and most popular size of mattress, double beds have been the standard in the UK for many years. They are four foot six wide (135cm) and six foot three (190cm) long and provide space for two people to sleep.
King Size Mattress
Gaining in popularity all the time is the king size mattress, common in luxury hotels they provide extra space both horizontally and in length. They measure a generous 5 foot (150cm) by six foot six (200cm) and are commonly called Queen size in the USA.
Super King Mattress
Boasting a huge width of 6 foot (180cm) and a length of 6 foot 6 (200cm) these truly are the kings of beds and the largest size available without going in for a custom made mattress.
Build
We sell mattresses in a variety of builds, fillings and designs. Memory foam is one of the most popular fillings. Either used exclusively throughout the mattress or just over the surface, memory foam moulds to the shape of the body, supporting you where you need it most. Pocket springs are another popular mattress construction. These great springs are housed in their own, individual fabric tubes so that they react to the individual pressure points of your body. Whether you choose a sponge mattress or a pocket sprung mattress, or a combination of the two, we are certain to have plenty to chose from here at Mattressman.
