Materials & Construction

Every UK made rolled mattress from Mattress Depot is built using high-grade materials that are specifically tested to withstand the compression process.

The Support Core: We use high-density reflex foam or individual pocket springs. Unlike open-coil systems, our pocket springs are designed to be compressed and rolled without losing their tension or structural memory.
Cushioning Layers: Depending on the model, we integrate memory foam or "cool blue" breathable foam. These layers provide the essential pressure relief required for a restful night.
The Cover: All our mattresses feature hypoallergenic and breathable fabrics. Our covers are designed to stretch and move with the mattress during the unrolling process.
Safety Standards: Every material used is BS7177 certified for fire retardancy and OEKO-TEX® certified, ensuring no harmful chemicals are present in your sleep environment.

How to Care for Your Rolled Up Mattress

Unpack Immediately: We recommend unboxing your roll up mattress within 4 weeks of delivery to ensure the foam and springs recover to their full height optimally.
Allow for Expansion: After carefully cutting the vacuum seal, allow the mattress to sit in a well-ventilated room for at least 4 to 24 hours before use.
Regular Rotation: To ensure even wear, rotate your mattress 180 degrees every two weeks for the first three months, and then once every three months thereafter.
Keep it Dry: Always use a mattress protector to shield the foam layers from moisture and spills, which can degrade the materials over time.
Proper Support: Ensure your bed base is in good condition; slats should be no more than 7.5cm apart to provide the necessary support for a rolled mattress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a roll up mattress as good as a regular mattress?

Yes, a high-quality roll up mattress provides the same level of support and durability as a non-rolled version. The vacuum-packing process only works with high-grade foams and pocket springs that have "memory," meaning they are designed to return to their original shape without any damage to the internal structure.

How long does a vacuum packed double mattress take to expand?

Most of our mattresses will be ready to sleep on within 4-6 hours of unboxing. However, for a 4ft6 rolled double mattress to reach its full height and for the internal layers to settle completely, we recommend waiting a full 24 hours.

Can you re-roll a rolled mattress in a box?

No, once a rolled mattress in a box has been unpacked and expanded, it cannot be re-rolled by hand. The initial rolling is done using heavy industrial machinery that removes all air; however, the mattress remains highly portable and can be moved easily while flat.

Does a rolled pocket sprung mattress feel different?

A rolled pocket sprung mattress feels exactly like a traditional pocket sprung bed once it has fully expanded. You will still enjoy individualised support and motion isolation, as the springs are pre-tensioned to survive the compression process without losing their bounce.

What is a hybrid mattress in a box?

A hybrid mattress in a box combines layers of foam (such as memory foam or reflex foam) with a pocket sprung core. This offers the best of both worlds, the contouring comfort of foam and the active support of springs, all delivered in one convenient, compact package.

Are your mattresses UK made?

Every UK made rolled mattress in our collection is designed and manufactured in our British workshop. This allows us to maintain strict quality standards, including BS7177 and OEKO-TEX® certifications, while ensuring a lower carbon footprint for our UK customers.

Is the roll up mattress for easy storage and portability?

The primary benefit of a roll up mattress for easy storage and portability is the initial delivery and setup. Because it arrives in a box roughly the size of a tall person, it can be easily stored in a hallway or cupboard until you are ready to move it into the bedroom.

Which is the best roll up mattress for studio apartments?

A single rolled mattress or a hybrid model is often considered the best roll up mattress for studio apartments because they maximize space. The easy-to-carry box means you can move the mattress around tight corners or up narrow stairs without needing a multi-person delivery team.
