FAQs

How long does the mattress take to fully expand?

While it will unroll quickly, full expansion can take anywhere from 48 to 72 hours. You can generally sleep on it after 4-6 hours, but optimal comfort is reached after full decompression.

Do I need to flip this mattress?

No, this hybrid mattress is designed to be used on one side only. We recommend rotating it head-to-toe every 3-6 months to ensure even wear.

What type of bed base is best for this mattress?

This mattress is suitable for most standard double bed frames, including divan bases, slatted bases (with slats no more than 7cm apart), and platform frames.

How do I clean my Rackhams Hybrid Mattress?

For spills, spot clean immediately using a mild soap and a damp cloth. Avoid saturating the mattress. Allow it to air dry completely. We recommend using a mattress protector for added protection.

Is there a 'break-in' period for the mattress?

Yes, like most new mattresses, there can be a 'break-in' period where your body adjusts to the new support and comfort, and the mattress materials settle. This typically lasts a few weeks.

What does 'hand-tufted' mean?

Hand-tufting is a traditional mattress-making technique where skilled craftspeople pass ribbons or twine through the entire mattress, securing all layers together. This prevents the internal fillings from shifting or clumping, ensuring long-lasting durability and consistent support.

Troubleshooting

Mattress has an odor after unboxing

This is common with vacuum-packed products. Allow the mattress to air out in a well-ventilated room for 24-72 hours. The odor will dissipate naturally.

Mattress doesn't seem to fully expand

Ensure you've given the mattress at least 48-72 hours to fully decompress. Sometimes, light use (walking on it gently or sleeping on it) can help aid the final expansion. Verify the room temperature is not excessively cold, as this can slow expansion.

Mattress feels softer/firmer than expected

Your body needs time to adjust to a new mattress, and the mattress needs time to 'break in'. Give it at least a few weeks of regular use. The initial feel can change slightly as the materials settle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent pressure relief and support from hybrid design
  • Luxurious soft-touch quilted surface for enhanced comfort
  • Hand-tufted construction ensures long-term durability and prevents sagging
  • Certified for safety and quality (BS7177:2008, NBF)
  • Convenient, easy setup with compact packaging

Cons

  • Soft feel may not suit individuals preferring a very firm mattress
  • Specific 4ft6 Double size may not fit all bed frames
  • May require several hours to fully expand after unboxing
  • Hybrid design can be heavier than all-foam alternatives, making repositioning difficult
  • Not typically designed for flipping, requiring specific rotation for maintenance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Rackhams Hybrid Mattress arrives vacuum-packed, rolled, and boxed for ease of transport. To set it up:

  1. Transport: Carefully move the boxed mattress to your bedroom or desired location.
  2. Unbox: Remove the mattress from its outer box and place the rolled mattress on your bed frame.
  3. Unroll: Carefully cut open the plastic packaging, making sure not to cut the mattress fabric. The mattress will begin to unroll.
  4. Expand: Allow the mattress to decompress and expand for at least 4-6 hours, though full expansion can take up to 48-72 hours. During this time, it's common to notice a slight 'new mattress' odor, which will dissipate as it airs out. Opening windows in the room can help.

Compatibility

This 4ft6 Double mattress (135cm x 190cm) is compatible with most standard double bed frames, including divans, slatted bases, and platform frames. For slatted bases, ensure the slats are no more than 7cm apart to provide adequate support and prevent sagging.

Care

To prolong the life and maintain the performance of your mattress:

  • Rotation: Rotate your mattress head-to-toe every 3-6 months. This helps to distribute wear evenly and maintain its shape. This mattress is generally not designed for flipping.
  • Cleaning: Spot clean any spills immediately with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid saturating the mattress. Allow it to air dry completely before replacing bedding.
  • Protection: Use a mattress protector to shield against spills, dust mites, and general wear.
  • Ventilation: Ensure good air circulation around your mattress, especially if placed on a solid platform base. Occasionally remove bedding to allow the mattress to breathe.
