How to choose a double mattress

Construction

Mattresses here use foam, pocket springs or both. Memory foam moulds to your shape and absorbs movement. Pocket spring mattresses have individually wrapped coils that give bounce and airflow. Hybrids combine springs with foam or latex comfort layers. Some have zoned springs for extra support at the shoulders and lower back.

Firmness

Medium firm is a popular choice and suits many sleepers. Side sleepers often prefer something a little softer for their hips and shoulders, while back and stomach sleepers usually prefer firmer. Check the stated firmness on each listing.

Thickness

Depths in this range run from about 20 cm to over 30 cm. Thicker mattresses usually have more comfort layers, but check your bed frame and sheets can handle the extra height.

Covers and heat

Covers include bamboo and charcoal fabrics, and some foam mattresses add gel to help with heat. If you sleep hot, a pocket spring or hybrid generally breathes better than solid foam.

Bed in a box and price

Many arrive vacuum packed in a box. Give them time to fully expand before sleeping on them. Mattresses start from about $125, with most around $450 to $500. Hybrids with zoned springs cost more. See the Bedra and Dreamz ranges, or compare memory foam mattresses.

Double Mattresses: common questions

What size is a double mattress?

A standard Australian double mattress is about 138 x 188 cm. Depths vary from about 20 cm to over 30 cm. Check the exact dimensions on the product page and make sure your sheets fit the depth.

Is a pocket spring or memory foam mattress better?

Pocket springs give bounce and airflow, while memory foam contours closely and reduces movement between partners. Hybrids combine both. If you sleep hot, springs or a hybrid usually breathe better than solid foam.

How firm should my mattress be?

Side sleepers usually suit a softer or medium feel to cushion the shoulders and hips. Back and stomach sleepers often prefer medium firm to firm. Check the stated firmness on each listing.

How does a mattress in a box arrive?

Many mattresses arrive vacuum packed and rolled in a box. Carefully remove the plastic, lay it on the bed base and let it expand. Allow time for it to reach full size and air out before sleeping on it.

Is a double mattress suitable for children?

A double mattress suits older kids and teens who want extra room. Choose a supportive, medium firm feel and check the listing for any age guidance. A waterproof mattress protector is worth adding for younger kids.

Will a double mattress sleep hot?

Foam can trap heat, so some mattresses add gel or breathable covers like bamboo to help. Pocket spring and hybrid mattresses usually allow more airflow. Check the materials on the listing if you tend to sleep warm.
