The Giselle Alanya 34 cm euro top pocket-spring queen suits Australian shoppers who want thicker cushioning and medium-firm support without jumping to a full king footprint — confirm bed-frame depth for a 34 cm mattress, allow expansion time after unboxing, and upsize to king only if room width allows.

Who this is for
This guide is for couples and solo sleepers replacing a tired queen who like a plush euro-top surface over pocket springs. It suits side sleepers who want extra comfort layers and households that cannot fit a king beside wardrobes. If your frame is shallow or your fitted sheets are shallow-pocket, plan upgrades before the mattress arrives.
Darrah Opens lists Giselle Bedding Alanya euro top pocket-spring mattresses at 34 cm thick with bamboo charcoal knitted cover notes, medium-firm positioning, and side handles — confirm coil counts and care on each size page.
Specs and measuring checklist
Queen listing: about 203 × 153 × 34 cm; firmness noted around medium-firm (listing references firmness level guidance); pocket springs with euro top. King listing: about 203 × 183 × 34 cm. Follow the product page for coil counts and cover details.
| Check | Action | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Frame depth / rails | Confirm 34 cm mattress clears side rails | Thick euro tops can sit high |
| Sheet pockets | Deep fitted sheets | Shallow sheets pop off |
| Room width | Queen vs king footprints | Aisles to wardrobes |
| Unboxing space | Clear floor for expansion | Vacuum-packed mattresses need room |
| Headboard shelf | Clearance if you store books | Extra height matters |
Comfort checklist
- Confirm bed-frame depth for a 34 cm mattress.
- Euro top adds plushness — side sleepers often prefer the extra surface cushioning.
- Allow expansion time after unboxing before judging firmness.
- Upsize to king only if room width allows.
- Use a waterproof protector under sheets.
- Rotate per care guidance on the listing (do not machine wash the mattress).
Step-by-step setup workflow
- Measure the frame internal size against 203 × 153 cm (queen).
- Clear the bedroom for carton and roll-out.
- Unbox and position with handles; start expansion flat on the frame or clean floor per instructions.
- Wait — give foam and cover time to settle for many hours (follow the listing) before final firmness opinions.
- Fit deep sheets and a protector.
- Sleep trial nights in your usual position (side/back/stomach) before deciding on king upsizing.
Who needs the extra 34 cm euro top comfort
| Sleep pattern | Queen Alanya 34 cm often suits | Consider instead |
|---|---|---|
| Side sleeper wanting plush surface | Yes | Softer topper only if core is fine |
| Couple in a tight room | Queen footprint | King if width exists |
| Hot sleeper | Breathable cover + sheets | Topper with cool gel if surface heat persists |
| Guest room shared | Queen | King for guest couples |
| Very tall headboard cubby | Measure height | Lower-profile mattress |
Common mistakes and care
- Judging firmness in the first hour after unboxing.
- Shallow sheets on a 34 cm body.
- Forcing a queen onto a king frame (or the reverse).
- Machine washing — care notes say do not machine wash, bleach, iron or dry clean.
- Skipping a protector in family homes.
Spot-clean only as directed. Air the room during expansion. Keep sharp objects away from the cover.
Frame and sheet planning for 34 cm queens
Thick euro tops change how a bedroom feels at the edges: side rails may sit lower relative to the sleep surface, and shallow sheets pop off corners overnight. Before delivery, check whether your frame’s mattress stoppers and side rails still make sense at 34 cm, and order deep-pocket sheets with a protector in the same shipment. If you store books on a headboard shelf, measure the new stack height so novels do not scrape the ceiling bulkhead.
FAQ
How long to expand?
Follow the listing — typically allow many hours (and up to the timeframe stated on the page) before judging firmness and loft.
Is medium firm enough?
Alanya is positioned for supportive medium-firm comfort. Match to your sleep position; there is no single firmness for every body.
Queen or king Alanya?
Stay queen if aisles are tight. Choose king (203 × 183 × 34 cm class) when partner space matters and the room allows.
Will it fit an Artiss bed frame?
Only if the frame is sold for the same mattress size and can handle the height. Do not force sizes.
Do I need a box spring?
Most modern platform and slat frames are mattress-ready — confirm your frame type. Follow the mattress listing for foundation guidance.
How many coils?
Coil counts differ by size on the listings (queen and king pages list different counts) — read the SKU you are buying.
Deep sheets — how deep?
Measure mattress height at 34 cm and choose fitted sheets with pocket depth that exceeds that height comfortably.
Can kids jump on it?
Discourage jumping — it stresses springs and edges. Use a protector for spills.
