Layer Details
- Two sleepers, one manageable footprint: At 135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, it holds two adults without dominating a typical UK bedroom the way a UK king can.
- Pocket springs suit shared beds: Individually pocketed springs compress separately, which means less of your partner's tossing and turning reaches your side of a bed you're sharing every night.
- Bedside tables stay in play: Allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space and most rooms will still take a table on each side, so nobody loses their lamp.
- Bedding is cheap and everywhere: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet are stocked at every price point, a quiet saving when you're kitting out a first flat or a guest room.
- A safe guest room choice: Visiting couples can share it comfortably, and 67.5cm each for two people sharing is the accepted standard rather than the squeeze a UK small double can be.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want the traditional couples' size that still leaves room to walk around it, or you sleep alone and like space to spread out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner. It also fits if you're furnishing a guest room and want a size any visiting pair will find familiar and comfortable.
Consider another size if...
Your room is comfortably larger than 3m x 3m and you'd both appreciate more width. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m and we'd recommend sizing up.

Is the Graphite Arthur in a UK double big enough for a couple?
Yes, for most couples. You each get 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the pocket springs respond to each of you separately, which helps when one partner moves more than the other. Taller or broader couples with the room space may prefer the extra width of a UK king.
What room size do I need for the Graphite Arthur UK double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That's our guidance rather than Arthur Sleep's, and it allows for bedside tables on both sides plus a wardrobe. Measure your usable floor, not the wall-to-wall figure, before committing.
Should I get the Graphite Arthur in a UK double or a UK king?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king. If your bedroom offers at least 2.7m x 2.9m and you both like space, the UK king is the better shared bed. In a typical UK room, the UK double leaves you space to actually live in it.
Is the UK double Graphite Arthur good for a guest room?
It's a practical guest room pick. Solo visitors get generous space, couples fit comfortably, and double bedding is inexpensive and easy to find. One caveat: Arthur Sleep doesn't publish a firmness rating for this mattress, so you can't guarantee it matches every guest's preference in advance.
What bedding do I need for this size of the Graphite Arthur?
Standard double fitted sheets, made for 135 x 190cm, and a 200 x 200cm double duvet. Because the double is the most common UK size, you'll find bedding at every price, which helps if you're spreading a budget across a whole home at once.
