Double Mattresses

Collection: Buy Double Mattresses on Sale

Choosing the right double mattress comes down to three things: firmness, fill type, and depth. Pocket sprung double mattresses use individually wrapped springs that move independently, which reduces motion transfer and gives more targeted support at different points along the body. Memory foam and hybrid double bed mattresses contour to your body shape and are particularly good at pressure relief for side sleepers or anyone with hip or back pain. Depth matters too, a mattress under 20cm tends to feel less supportive over time, while anything from 25cm upwards generally holds its shape and comfort level for longer. Whatever you pick, fitting a mattress protector from day one keeps the mattress hygienic and extends its lifespan without affecting how it feels to sleep on.

How firm should a double mattress be?

Firmness is personal, but there are useful rules of thumb. Side sleepers mainly do better on a medium to soft mattress, as softer foam allows the hips and shoulders to sink in slightly and keeps the spine aligned. Back sleepers tend to suit medium to firm, which supports the natural curve of the lower back without letting the hips drop too far. Front sleepers usually need a firmer surface to stop the midsection from sinking and putting strain on the lumbar. If two people share the double bed with different preferences, a medium feel is typically the safest compromise. Once you have the mattress sorted, a mattress topper can fine-tune the feel without replacing the mattress entirely. For a complete sleep setup, our memory foam mattresses, pillows, and double bedding all pair well with a new double mattress.
