FirmNest Plus Double Mattress
About this mattress
This double mattress runs 137cm x 188cm, the New Zealand standard double footprint, and is listed as the LivingTopia FirmNest Plus Double Mattress. The comfort stack is 3cm of high-density foam under an anti-pill knitted cover, which resists the small bobbles a knit picks up from bedding, and it sits on 1.8mm wire wound into 20cm pocket springs, with three perimeter rows stepped up to 1.9mm; that is where the Medium Firm, 4 out of 10 where 10 is softest rating comes from. The outer face is anti-pill knitted fabric, tested to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, and the foams below it are CertiPUR-US® certified. Total height is 23cm with a tight top, and the mattress weighs 25.3kg. Delivery is roll-packed, so it ships in a 28cm x 28cm x 147cm carton, which lets 137cm of mattress through a standard internal door on the way in, and after unrolling it is typically at full height within 72 hours.
Who this mattress suits
- A single adult who spreads out and wants the whole 137 cm to themselves across a 23 cm build.
- Couples who want 4 out of 10 rather than something that cradles.
- Rooms where 188 cm of length is enough and the extra 15 cm of a king single is not needed, but the reinforced perimeter is.
Why choose the FirmNest Plus
Take the foam away and what is left is 20 cm of pocket springs wound from 1.8 mm wire, with a 1.9 mm reinforcing rail on all four sides. On a 137 cm double two people share one unit, and each pocket compresses on its own rather than the whole 23 cm build tilting toward the heavier sleeper.
What you actually touch is a 3 cm high-density foam pad under an anti-pill knitted cover, kept simple on purpose. Two people on a 137 cm double load the comfort layers unevenly, which is why the foam is the same density right across a Medium Firm surface.
Where this sits in the range: this is the second-softest of the four, on a ladder that runs Classic 5, Plus 4, Pro 3 and Prime 2 out of 10 with 10 as softest. The Plus double sits between a softer Classic and a zoned Pro: it gains height and edge reinforcement over the Classic, while the Pro above it adds three zones and a 1 cm gel memory foam layer. On a 137 cm double two people have to agree, and 4 out of 10 is the number they are agreeing to.
Each spring sits in its own pocket, which keeps more of a movement local to where it happens. Use standard New Zealand double fitted sheets to clear the 23 cm sidewall, and rotate head to foot a few times a year so the two sleeping spots wear at a similar rate.

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.

Two things to have ready. You do not need deep-wall bedding here: 23 cm suits standard New Zealand double sheets. It comes roll-packed in a 28 cm x 28 cm x 147 cm carton, which is the difference between a double fitting through the hallway and not. Give it time to open out, as it is typically at full height within 72 hours.

Frequently asked questions
How firm is the FirmNest Plus Double?
Medium Firm, 4 out of 10 where 10 is softest. Two people on a double will describe the same surface differently; the number is there for comparison.
How does the FirmNest Plus compare with the Classic and the Pro?
The Plus is 4 out of 10. The Classic below it is 5 out of 10 and so slightly softer, 19 cm rather than 23 cm tall, and has no reinforced perimeter. The Pro above it is 3 out of 10, 26 cm tall, and adds three-zone springs and a 1 cm gel memory foam layer. All numbers are on a scale where 10 is softest. On a double both sleepers get the same number, so pick the step you can both live with.
What does the reinforced edge do?
Three extra rows of thicker 1.9 mm wire run right around the perimeter of the 20 cm spring unit. The edge keeps more of its shape when you sit on it to put shoes on, and more of the width stays usable for sleeping. On a 137 cm double, sleepers who lie toward the outside notice it most.
What certification does this mattress have?
The cover is certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 and the foams are CertiPUR-US® certified. Certificate numbers are available from our team on request.
What sheets do I need for this mattress?
A 23 cm sidewall works with standard New Zealand double fitted sheets, and a deep-wall sheet will sit loose. Double sheets are widely stocked; the depth is the part people get wrong, so look for at least 23 cm.
Will I feel my partner moving?
Less than on an open-coil mattress. Each spring is pocketed on its own, so a movement compresses the springs under that person first and reaches the other side reduced. On a 137 cm double you are close together, so some movement will still carry.
