Double Mattresses

Choosing the right double mattress

It’s important to find the right mattress for you and your sleeping position, as this will give you the best chance for achieving deep, refreshing sleep, night after night. You’ll probably have the same mattress for many years, and that’s a lot of sleep! Therefore, it’s important to take the time to research what type of 4ft 6in mattress is most suitable to your individual needs and sleeping style.

For instance, softer comfort grades are best for side sleepers, as these grades respond to pressure points, and help to keep your spine as straight as possible. For front and back sleepers, a double bed mattress in a firmer comfort grade is best, as these grades keep your body aligned in a natural position.

Check out our guide on the best mattress for your sleeping position if you're unsure which comfort grade would be best for you.
