Layer Details
- Reflex Foam. A soft, flexible reflex foam layer that supports spinal alignment. In practice, this means your back stays in a more neutral position as you sleep.
- High Density Memory Foam. A layer of high density memory foam for added support. It contours gently to your shape, easing pressure at the hips and shoulders.
- Pocket Springs. 1,000 sturdy pocket springs with a unique curvature, each sat in its own individual pocket. The high-tensile springs react independently to movement, which means less disturbance when a partner turns over.
- Foam Encapsulated Border. A reinforced perimeter made from durable, sturdy foam. This firms up the edges, so sitting on the side of the bed or sleeping near it feels stable.

- A footprint most bedrooms can take: At 135 x 190cm, this size leaves space for a wardrobe and bedside tables on both sides in an average UK room, where a UK king often wouldn't.
- Less partner disturbance in a shared width: With 67.5cm each for two people sharing, the 1,000 independent pocket springs matter, because movement on one side is less likely to travel across to yours.
- Edges you can actually sleep on: The foam encapsulated border firms up the perimeter, so neither of you gets that rolling-off feeling when you drift towards the edge of a shared bed.
- Support that suits mixed sleeping styles: The medium firm tension works for back and stomach sleepers and most side sleepers, useful when two people with different habits are choosing one mattress.
- Easy to dress on a budget: UK double sheets and duvets are stocked everywhere at every price, and the 20cm depth means standard fitted sheets go on without a fight.
This size suits you if...
You're a couple after the traditional shared size and your bedroom is closer to average than generous, or you're kitting out a first flat or a guest room and want a supportive hybrid at a modest spend. It also suits a solo sleeper who likes room to spread out, or who shares with a dog or cat that claims a corner every night.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both want more personal space than 67.5cm each, and your room measures at least 2.7m x 2.9m. In that case we'd recommend the UK king instead, which is 15cm wider and 10cm longer.

Is the Bodyshape 1000 Pocket Hybrid in a UK double big enough for a couple?
For most couples, yes. The UK double is Britain's long standing standard for two sharing, and it gives you 67.5cm each. That's workable rather than roomy, but the 1,000 pocket springs limit how much you feel a partner moving, which makes the shared width easier to live with. Restless pairs, or anyone broad shouldered, may want more space.
Will a UK double fit my bedroom with bedside tables on both sides?
Usually. We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, and around 3m x 3m is the comfortable norm. The 135cm width leaves enough clearance in most UK bedrooms for a table each side and a walkway around the bed, which is where the UK king starts to feel like a squeeze.
Is the UK double a good size for a guest room?
It's the safest choice. At 135 x 190cm it accommodates visiting couples as well as solo guests, and the medium firm tension is a sensible middle ground when you can't ask everyone their preference. The firm foam encapsulated border also helps guests who perch on the edge of the bed to get dressed.
Is the Bodyshape 1000 Pocket Hybrid double easy to get upstairs?
It should be more manageable than most hybrids. At 20cm deep it's shallower than many competitors, which helps on turning stairs in older terraces or a tight new build landing. Bodyshape doesn't publish a weight for this size, so if access is genuinely awkward, check with the retailer before ordering.
