Full details
This Starlight Beds Hybrid Memory Foam and Spring Mattress in Double size and Grey colour is designed for adults and children seeking restful nights on a budget. Its key benefit is the combination of memory foam and a spring unit for pressure relief and support, offering a cool-touch sleeping surface. A potential caveat is its 18cm depth, which might make it unsuitable for bunk beds. Key features include a 13.5 gauge spring unit, generous padding, memory foam layer, cool-touch fabric, and mattress-in-a-box convenience.

Is this mattress suitable for a bunk bed?
Due to its 18cm depth, it may not be suitable for all bunk beds. Please check the specific height restrictions and safety guidelines of your bunk bed before purchasing.
How long does it take for the mattress to fully expand?
The mattress typically takes 24-48 hours to fully expand after unboxing and removal of packaging.
What safety standards does this mattress comply with?

How should I clean the mattress?

Troubleshooting
Mattress not fully expanding
Ensure the mattress has had at least 48 hours to expand in a well-ventilated room. Check that the protective plastic has been fully removed and there are no obstructions preventing expansion.
Noticeable odour after unboxing
This is common with vacuum-packed mattresses and is usually due to off-gassing of materials. Ensure the room is well-ventilated by opening windows. The odour should dissipate within a few days.
Uneven surface or dips
Rotate the mattress head to foot. If the issue persists, ensure the bed base is providing adequate and even support. An uneven base can cause the mattress to sag.
Feeling the springs
This may occur if the mattress is used on an unsuitable base or if the comfort layers have compressed over time. Rotate the mattress and check the base. If the mattress is older, consider if it has reached the end of its lifespan.
