- The classic shared size: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double gives two people a familiar, workable amount of space in a footprint most bedrooms can take.
- Springs that suit sharing: Pocket springs respond to each sleeper separately, which means less disturbance when your partner turns over on a bed you're sharing every night.
- Room for furniture too: We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which in most homes still leaves space for a wardrobe and bedside tables on both sides.
- Easy to dress: Double sheets and 200 x 200cm duvets are sold everywhere at every price point, handy if you're kitting out a whole home on a stretched budget.
- Generous for one: For a solo sleeper, or one who shares with a pet that claims a corner, 135cm of width is a genuinely comfortable amount of space.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed most nights and your room sits around the typical UK bedroom size, you sleep alone but want space to spread out, or you're furnishing a guest room that needs to take visiting couples. Allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space; around 3m x 3m is the comfortable norm, with room for bedside tables on both sides.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like room to sprawl, since 67.5cm each for two people sharing is snug for restless sleepers. We'd recommend the Ice Arthur in a UK king instead; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

Is the Ice Arthur in a UK double big enough for a couple?
For most couples, yes. The UK double is 135 x 190cm, which works out at 67.5cm each for two people sharing. The pocket spring construction helps here, as each side responds independently to movement. If either of you is tall or a restless sleeper, the UK king adds 15cm of width and 10cm of length.
What room size do I need for the Ice Arthur UK double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That usually leaves enough clearance for a wardrobe, drawers and a table each side of the bed. If your room is smaller, the UK small double is 15cm narrower and the same length; allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m for it.
Should I buy the Ice Arthur in a UK double or a UK king?
It comes down to your room. The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king, so it fits comfortably where a king would dominate. Choose the UK double if your room is near our 2.6m x 2.8m minimum; choose the UK king if you have at least 2.7m x 2.9m and both want more space.
Will the UK double Ice Arthur fit up a narrow staircase?
Arthur Sleep doesn't publish a weight or handling guidance for this mattress, so we can't say for certain. A 135cm wide pocket spring mattress will flex a little but won't fold like foam, so measure any turning stairs or a tight landing before ordering, and check the retailer's delivery notes for access requirements.
How big is the Ice Arthur double in feet and inches?
The UK double measures 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, or 135 x 190cm. It takes standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet, both stocked widely at every price. It shares its 190cm length with the UK single and UK small double; only the UK king and UK super king are longer.
