Double Mattresses 4ft 6in

A standard double mattress measures 4ft 6 inches (135 cm) in width and 6 feet 3 inches (190 cm) in length. This option is a popular size for couples and even solo adults who love stretching out as they sleep. You can complete your sleep set-up by choosing from a range of double ottoman beds and divan beds to make your space feel decluttered and more relaxing! 

We sell a wide variety of mattresses to help accommodate your sleeping styles and preferences, all available in the 4ft 6 inch size. Let’s take a look at which one might be best for you. 

Orthopaedic Mattresses

Orthopaedic mattresses are designed with many pocket springs inside. They provide a firmer sleeping foundation that helps improve spinal alignment which can help with back and hip pain. By relieving pressure on the joints, many people feel more refreshed after sleeping on an orthopaedic mattress! 

Memory Foam Mattresses  

Created with dense, spongy materials, a memory foam mattress gets to know your body’s shape and contours as you sleep. As you sink into the mattress, the heat for your body makes the memory foam adapt to your sleeping style, which is great if you’re someone who has a preferred sleeping position. 

Pocket Spring Mattresses

Designed with thousands of individually enclosed pocket springs, a pocket spring mattress is designed to decrease noise and motion transfer. This means you’re less likely to hear or feel your partner’s movements as much during the night when they change sides. It can be a great option for couples who’d like to enjoy many nights of uninterrupted sleep! 

So many people can benefit from a 4ft 6 in double mattress. It’s a versatile size that suits many standard master bedrooms, but it’s also a good size for solo adults to stretch out and enjoy more space. Let’s take a look at who’ll benefit the most: 

Couples 

A standard double mattress provides enough room for two adults to sleep comfortably, making it a popular choice for couples. While those who prefer extra personal space may opt for a king size, a double mattress is ideal for smaller bedrooms.

Solo Sleepers 

Many of us love to stretch out while we sleep, and that’s exactly why a double 4ft 6 In mattress is just right if you love starfish. They also really benefit those who are taller, providing more space to relax and get comfy. 

Teenagers & Young Adults 

A double 4ft6 inch mattress is a great investment for teenagers and young adults who need all the room they need to get great sleep for their development. Providing a bit more room than a single mattress, the 4ft6 inch mattress is a great investment for first homes, student accommodations and much more. 

The firmness of your mattress all depends on personal preferences, but there are some things that you could look out for if you’re unsure. While some sleepers prefer a softer feel that cushions pressure points, others benefit from a firmer sleeping surface that offers greater support and spinal alignment. Let’s find out which one might be best for you:

Orthopaedic

Our orthopaedic mattresses are designed with a firmer foundation to provide more support across the body. They help improve spinal alignment and they’re a popular choice for those who prefer a firmer sleeping surface. 

Memory Foam 

Memory foam is one of the softest mattress choices. It moulds to your body’s shapes as you sleep on it, making it feel really sumptuous when sinking into it. Generally, softer options are often ideal for side sleepers, while medium and firm memory foam mattresses are better suited to back and combination sleepers looking for additional support.

Pocket Spring

Pocket spring mattresses are available in a range of firmness types, depending on their materials. Some mattresses are right in between soft and firm, providing you with the best of both worlds. For example, our 4ft 6 in double Silk Pocket Sprung Mattress  features 2,000 individually nested springs, luxury cashmere, wool and silk fillings and a deep comfort layer. It’s a great blend of softness and support, making it an excellent choice if you’re looking for a premium, hotel-inspired feel.

Our mattresses are designed to last for many years to come, but with a few useful tips and tricks, they can last even longer, so you’ll be sure to get your money’s worth. Let’s take a look at how you can care and maintain them: 

Rotate Your Mattress Regularly 

Every 3-6 months, we recommend that you rotate your mattress. This helps to evenly distribute the weight that’s spread across the mattress where dips and sags could otherwise form. If your mattress is double-sided, you could also turn it over according to the care instructions.

Use A Mattress Topper 

A mattress topper is one of the best things you can use to create an extra layer between your bedsheets and your mattress. A quality mattress protector helps shield your mattress from spills, stains, dust mites and everyday wear. 

If you’re using an electric blanket during the winter months, it’s generally recommended to place it on top of the mattress topper but underneath your fitted sheet. Always follow the care instructions for both your mattress and electric blanket, as some mattress materials and heated bedding may have specific usage recommendations.

Use A Soft Brush Attachment 

Strip your bedding and use a soft brush attachment at the end of your vacuum cleaner to remove any dirt, dust and allergens. If you find yourself sneezing often, this is a really good tip to potentially reduce your allergy symptoms.

Treating Stains 

If you need to tackle a stain, blot it gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent rather than soaking the mattress, as excess moisture can damage the internal fillings. We always recommend that you don’t scrub the area, blot it instead as abrasive chemicals and scrubbing can cause further damage. 

Avoid Excess Weight 

Putting too much pressure on the mattress can damage the springs and foam layers. Ensure that it’s used with a compatible, high-quality bed frame, such as our divans and ottoman beds, and prevent children from jumping on it.

Allow Your Mattress To Breathe 

Stripping your mattress can help promote better airflow, helping moisture to evaporate and keep your sleeping environment fresh. This is a good way to reduce the build up of odours and humidity.
