Double Mattresses

Choosing the right double mattress

The right mattress helps provide you with a deep, refreshing sleep night after night. Therefore, it is important to take the time to research what type of double mattress is best for you:

Double Mattresses for Spinal Support

Memory Foam mattresses contain viscoelastic materials which respond to your body heat, embracing every curve to help keep your spine aligned while you sleep. If you sleep in various positions, or you only occasionally share your bed with a partner, then a memory foam double mattress can be a great purchase.

ActiGel mattresses will respond to the body throughout the night and move in accordance with the sleeper. This means an ongoing approach to keeping your spine aligned, ensuring any health problems are minimised.

Latex mattresses combine traditional mattress materials, such as foam, with latex to improve push-back and support for the sleeper. The natural elasticity of the latex material helps to keep the spine in the right position throughout the night, by responding more accurately to the sleep position. With quick response properties, any movement is accounted for, meaning you can move around and still be supported. For those who frequently wake up with a sore-back, a latex double mattress can really make the difference.

The best double mattress for your sleeping position

With approximately two thirds of people sleeping on their sides and the rest either preferring to sleep on their stomachs or backs, it is important to understand how your sleeping position relates to the type of support you need.

If you sleep on your side, you’ll most likely require a soft mattress that responds to pressure points, such as a pocket spring mattress. The soft double mattress technology alleviates any strenuous pressure created by your shoulders and ensures your spine is kept as straight as possible.

For people who sleep on their back, we recommend a medium-to-firm mattress that provides enough back alignment support. The sturdy structure of a traditional spring mattress ensures you won’t dip into the mattress and keeps your body healthily aligned – all this while still offering substantial levels of comfort.

If you sleep on your stomach, a firm double mattress is ideal. They prevent your hips and upper body from being at an unnatural angle and ensure you get the best night’s sleep possible.

And remember, our 40-night guarantee means you can swap your mattress for another if it doesn’t feel quite right. If you would like any further advice on finding the best double mattress, speak to us on 0800 652 5090.
