Layer Details
- Made for typical UK bedrooms: At 135 x 190cm it leaves space for wardrobes and drawers where a UK king would dominate, and we suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m.
- Room for bedside tables on both sides: In an average sized room the UK double usually leaves enough wall either side for a table and lamp each, which larger sizes often sacrifice.
- Cooling where two bodies share: Two sleepers generate more heat than one, so the gel foam layer matters more in a double than it would in a UK single.
- Medium firm across the shared surface: The medium firm feel suits most back and combination sleepers, which helps when two people with different habits share one mattress.
- Easy to dress and to move: Double sheets and 200 x 200cm duvets are sold everywhere, and this size is easier to turn up the stairs of an older terrace than a UK king.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your bedroom is an ordinary UK size, where a bigger mattress would leave you squeezing past the footboard. It also fits if you're furnishing a guest room for visiting couples on a budget, or you sleep alone but want space to spread out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner.
Consider another size if...
You both like room to stretch and your bedroom measures at least 2.7m x 2.9m. In that case we'd recommend the UK king instead: it's 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double.

What are the dimensions of the Arthur Sleep Cool Memory Mattress in a UK double?
The UK double measures 135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in. Arthur Sleep publishes little detail beyond the basics, so depth isn't confirmed, but the footprint is the standard UK double and any double bed frame, sheets and 200 x 200cm duvet will fit it.
How much space does each person get on this UK double?
Two people sharing get 67.5cm each. That's enough for most couples to sleep comfortably, though it's slightly less than a single bed's width per person, so if one of you sprawls or you're both broad shouldered, the UK king gives you 15cm more width between you.
What size room do I need for the UK double version?
We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That allows walking space on both sides and, in most layouts, room for bedside tables each. This is our guidance rather than the brand's, so measure your own room before ordering.
Is the UK double a sensible choice for a solo sleeper?
Yes, if you like room to spread out. It's 45cm wider than the UK single at the same length, which is a noticeable upgrade if you share with a pet or simply move around at night. The cooling gel layer is a bonus for warm solo sleepers too.
How much bigger is the UK king than this double?
The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double, and we suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it. If your bedroom clears that comfortably and you share every night, sizing up is worth considering; otherwise the double keeps the room usable.
