Layer Details
- Comfort Layer. Soft white synthetic fibres create a cosy feel at the surface, which means a little cushioning before you reach the firm support beneath. They're durable and resilient, so the layer should hold its shape over time.
- Support System. 1500 individual pocket springs, each encased in its own cloth pocket, adapt to your movement independently. In practice that means personalised support for each part of your body and less disturbance from a partner shifting in the night.

- Sensible width for two: At 67.5cm each for two people sharing, couples get the traditional shared footprint, with the extra firm surface keeping you supported at the edges as well as the middle.
- Springs that ignore your partner: Each of the 1500 pocket springs moves independently, which means one of you turning over at 3am is far less likely to wake the other.
- Fits the rooms most of us have: We suggest a minimum room of 2.6m x 2.8m, which leaves space for bedside tables on both sides in most UK doubles bedrooms.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet fit this size, and both are stocked everywhere at every price point.
- A firm option for the guest room: An extra firm double suits a spare room for visiting couples, since a sturdy surface tends to divide guests less than a very soft one.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want the traditional couples' size, your bedroom sits around the 2.6m x 2.8m minimum we suggest and a bigger bed would crowd it, or you sleep alone, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner, and want firm support with room to spread out.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like space and your room can take 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 Ultra Ortho 1500 in a UK double big enough for a couple?
For most couples, yes. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the 1500 pocket springs respond to each sleeper independently, so movement transfers less across the bed. Broader couples, or anyone who sprawls, may find the width a little snug; the UK king is 15cm wider if your room allows.
What room size do I need for the Bodyshape Ultra Ortho 1500 in a UK double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That allows walking space and bedside tables on both sides in most rooms. This is our guidance rather than Bodyshape's, so measure your own layout, including wardrobe and drawer clearance, before committing.
Should I buy the Bodyshape Ultra Ortho 1500 in a double or a king?
It comes down to your room. The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king, so it suits rooms where a king would dominate. If you have at least 2.7m x 2.9m and share every night, the extra king width is usually worth having. Tighter than that, stick with the UK double.
Will a UK double mattress get up narrow stairs?
Usually, yes. At 135 x 190cm with a 25cm depth, a double is easier to turn on tight landings and terraced staircases than a king or super king, and pocket sprung hybrids flex a little on the turn. Measure your narrowest point, including any low ceiling over the stairs, before ordering.
