Basics Series Mattress - King
About this mattress
The Basics Series Mattress in King measures 165 cm x 203 cm x 15 cm. Support comes from a 13 cm pocket spring coil unit on 2.0 mm wire, six turns to the coil, under 25 mm of high-density foam on a non-woven backing, quilted under a knitted polyester ticking, which sets the feel at Medium. It is finished as a tight top.
Who this mattress suits
- Two adults who want 14 cm more width than a queen.
- Main bedrooms with room to spare at the sides.
- Households where a pet or a child ends up on the bed.
Why choose the Basics Series
The Basics Series is the entry mattress in the range, and the specification is stated rather than glossed over: a 13 cm pocket spring coil on 2.0 mm wire with six turns to the coil, 25 mm of high-density foam above it, and a soft knitted polyester ticking quilted over the top.
Six turns and a 2.0 mm gauge is what gives a coil its springiness and its staying power, and the gauge is printed here so it can be compared against anything else at this price. The quilt holds the foam evenly in place so the padding stays where it was sewn.
The starting point of the Betalife range. Everything above it adds depth, extra comfort layers or zoning; the Basics gives you a stated coil spec and a quilted surface at the lowest price we sell.
Feel and support
| Comfort level | Medium |
| Typically suits | Most sleepers, and combination sleepers who change position overnight |
| Support system | 13 cm pocket spring coil, 6 turns, 2.0 mm gauge |
| Comfort layer | 25 mm high-density foam on a non-woven backing, under a knitted quilt |
| Top style | Tight top, one even surface across the mattress |
| Cover | Soft knitted polyester ticking |
Firmness is felt, not measured. Body shape, weight and sleeping position all change how the same surface reads, so use this level to compare our mattresses with each other rather than as a promise of how it will feel to you.

Frequently asked questions
How firm is this mattress?
It is rated Medium on our five-level scale. That level is for comparing our mattresses with each other; body shape, weight and sleeping position all change how the same surface reads.
What is inside it?
13 cm pocket spring coil, 6 turns, 2.0 mm gauge, under 25 mm high-density foam on a non-woven backing, under a knitted quilt, finished as a tight top. Total height is 15 cm.
What is the cover made of?
A soft knitted polyester ticking. The cover comes off — an L-shaped zip runs around two sides — so it can be washed and put back on.
How does it arrive, and how long before it is at full height?
It arrives roll-packed in a sealed 26 x 26 x 173 cm carton weighing 35.5 kg. Unroll it on the base and it is typically at full height within 72 hours.
How heavy is it to move?
The king ships at 35.5 kg including the carton. It is compressed for delivery, so getting it into the room is easier than moving it once it has opened out.
What sheets will fit it?
Standard New Zealand king fitted sheets. At 15 cm this sits inside the depth ordinary fitted sheets are cut for.
