Premium Gold 2000 Pocket Extra Firm Mattress

The benefits of a double sided mattress are that you get twice the surface area of comfort layers. The real-world practicality of this means that you flip the mattress as well as rotate allowing for better settlement of fillings which increases longevity, while reducing the chance of dipping or spring problems that may otherwise occur. Ultimately the mattress will likely last longer and remain comfortable for a greater duration.

32cm is considered deep for a mattress and is more than enough room to house good quality components and spring systems, along with generous amounts of comfort layer materials. You may find you require deeper sheets than standard with this type of mattress however, the cost for these in negligible.

The mattress comes with breathable side vents that allow the mattress to remain cool while you sleep. Another benefit to being breathable is that you naturally sweat during the night and the cool and breathable nature means that your mattress will remain hygienic for many years to come.

Fabric pockets surround individual springs, allowing each to move under pressure without pulling directly on its neighbours. These form the support system, per the listing.

Orthopaedic is billed as a firmer, more supportive feel, but it is a marketing term with no standard behind it, so compare the stated firmness and materials instead.

Extra firm is billed as allowing little sinking. Buyers wanting strong resistance to sinking can use this rating to compare alternatives from the same manufacturer.

Tufting secures the fillings through the mattress depth to limit movement between layers, and the brand links that to durability without saying how long it lasts.

UK handcrafting is the maker's own claim, while National Bed Federation approval is a membership scheme auditing fire safety, clean fillings and honest labelling.

Handles offer a grip for repositioning. Follow the handling instructions, as these turning handles are not necessarily designed to carry the item's full weight.

Orthopaedic has no regulated medical meaning. The brand says these builds are usually firmer, so compare the stated firmness and construction before choosing.

National Bed Federation approval means the maker belongs to a scheme audited on fire safety, clean fillings and honest labelling, not comfort or firmness.

Each spring has its own fabric wrapping and compresses independently, a construction billed as reducing movement compared with springs wired together.

Made in the UK gives the country it was built in and little about quality on its own, so judge the materials, construction and guarantee separately.

Measuring 32cm deep (about 12.6 inches), the mattress adds substantial height above the base, so consider the combined height when choosing a bed.

Depth measures 29cm, about 11.4 inches, affecting mattress sheet fit and bed height; frame measurements need checking against the full dimensions.

A 1 year guarantee applies. Check the retailer's conditions for the manufacturer's coverage and the procedure to follow when reporting a fault.

Extra firm tops the maker's firmness scale and suits heavier people and back or front sleepers; lighter side sleepers often find it too hard.

The materials are pitched as less likely to trigger allergic reactions, so their composition is worth comparing with any known sensitivities.

Sold as fire resistant, not fireproof, with no test standard or testing conditions specified, so keep it away from flames and heat sources.

Double-sided construction provides two usable sleeping surfaces, allowing flipping to spread wear, though the sides may not feel identical.

UK handcrafting is the brand's own description, and the share done by hand differs between makers, so weigh the materials alongside it.

Only one side is intended for sleeping, so rotate it end to end every few months without flipping it over.

Extra firm, by the brand's own description, means less give than its softer models.

Tufts secure soft polyester comfort fibres and prevent the filling from shifting.

Side panel air vents let air move into and out of the fillings.
