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.

FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the double mattress?

The mattress dimensions are 135cm in width and 190cm in length.

What is the depth of the mattress?

The mattress has a depth of 18cm.

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?

The mattress is designed and manufactured in the UK and complies with BS 7177:2008 regulations for domestic use.

Can I use this mattress on any bed base?

It is suitable for most standard UK double bed bases, including divan and slatted frames. For slatted frames, ensure the slats are no more than 7-8cm apart for proper support.

How should I clean the mattress?

Clean spills immediately with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Using a mattress protector is recommended for easier care.

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.
