Layer Details
- Gel Memory foam. A 3cm layer of gel memory foam with a fast bounce-back rate and strong air circulation, which means it sleeps cooler than traditional memory foam. You get the contouring comfort without so much of the heat.
- Reflex foam. 3cm of reflex foam adds durability, helping the mattress keep its shape for longer. In practice, that means consistent support over time rather than early sagging.
- Pocket Springs. Rows of 2000 pocket springs sit in individual fabric pockets that move independently and together, giving a responsive bounce-back feel. Because each spring reacts on its own, your partner's movements are less likely to disturb you.

- Motion isolation matters most at this width: With 67.5cm each for two people sharing, you sleep close together, so the independent pocket springs limiting your partner's movement is genuinely useful here.
- Fits typical UK bedrooms: We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space, which most British doubles bedrooms and older terraces can manage without squeezing out the wardrobe.
- Room for bedside tables both sides: At 135cm wide, the UK double usually leaves space for a table on each side in an average room, something the UK king often sacrifices.
- Cooler sharing: Two bodies raise the temperature under a duvet, and the gel memory foam's air circulation helps this shared size run cooler than traditional foam.
- Easy to dress and move: Double sheets and duvets are stocked everywhere, and a 135 x 190cm mattress turns tight stairs and landings more easily than the larger sizes.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want the traditional couples' size that leaves your bedroom feeling like a room rather than a mattress with a border, you're furnishing a guest room and want visiting couples properly catered for, or you sleep alone and fancy real space to spread out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming their usual corner.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like space 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 than the UK double.

Is the Bodyshape Gel 2000 UK double big enough for two adults?
It works well for most couples. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the 2000 pocket springs react individually, so one of you turning over is less likely to wake the other. Taller sleepers should note it's 190cm long; if either of you is over six foot, the UK king adds 10cm of length.
What room size do I need for the Bodyshape Gel 2000 in a UK double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That allows walking space on both sides plus room for a wardrobe and drawers, which matters if this is going into a first flat or a second bedroom where furniture competes for floor space.
Should I get the Bodyshape Gel 2000 in a double or a king?
If your bedroom comfortably exceeds our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king and you both like room to sprawl, size up. If you'd lose your bedside tables or the door would clip the bed, the UK double is the sensible call. The mattress itself feels the same in both, so it's purely a space decision.
Will the UK double Bodyshape Gel 2000 fit up a narrow staircase?
It's one of the easier sizes to deliver. At 135 x 190cm, a UK double turns the tight stairs of older terraces and narrow new build landings more readily than a UK king or UK super king. Measure your stairwell and any awkward corners before ordering, and check the retailer's delivery notes for access requirements.
Is the UK double a good guest room size for this mattress?
Yes, it's arguably the ideal guest size. Visiting couples can share it comfortably, solo guests get plenty of room, and the medium feel suits a wide range of sleepers you can't predict in advance. Double bedding is cheap and easy to find, which keeps a guest room simple to keep dressed.
