Is a Double Mattress Right For You?

Double mattresses are a winning choice, whether you’re a singleton or a couple.

If you sleep on your own and like the idea of having space to stretch out, you’ll fall head over heels for a double mattress. Instead of a single bed; enjoy some extra space. Choose a double mattress and enjoy a good night’s sleep every night.

If you’re a couple, the two of you can cosy up on a double mattress, or sleep side by side, with plenty of space! Doubles are ideal for shared rooms where space is at a premium.

Which is the Best Double Mattress?

Memory foam, natural fillings, latex foam… which is the best filling? And, what about springs? Well, the best double mattress for you will depend on your specific needs.

Sprung double mattresses are the most common as they tend to be more affordable and adapt well when two people of different weights lay on top. They’re supportive and comfortable.

Latex and memory foam mattresses adjust to the shape of your body and react well to temperature, so are a popular choice among those looking to take the pressure of their joints or get hot during the night.
