Layer Details
- Bamboo Cover. A gentle bamboo fabric cover made from clean, high quality fibres with a hypoallergenic finish. That means less irritation for sensitive skin and allergy sufferers.
- Soft White Fibres. A layer of soft synthetic white fibres that is notably breathable and comforting. It helps air move through the top of the mattress, which you'll feel as a slightly cooler sleep surface.
- Memory Foam. A 2.5cm layer of high density memory foam that adapts around your body. It's a fairly slim layer, so expect a gentle contouring hug rather than a deep sink-in feel.
- Traditional Open Coil Springs. Interlaced springs joined in a lattice design, which distribute your weight evenly to relieve built-up pressure and support spinal alignment. Because the coils are connected, movement does transfer across the bed more than it would with pocket springs.
- Wire Frame Border. A wire frame around the border of the mattress. This helps the edges keep their shape over time.

- Room for two, space left over: At 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in it fits comfortably in rooms where a UK king would crowd the walkways and furniture.
- 67.5cm each when sharing: Two people get 67.5cm each, enough for most settled couples, though the open coils do pass some movement across the bed.
- Sensible pick when money is spread thin: If you're furnishing a whole home at once, this budget-friendly mattress in the most common UK size keeps one big decision simple.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet are stocked everywhere, so bedding costs stay low too.
- Edges that hold their shape: The wire frame border keeps the sides firm, useful on a shared bed where someone always ends up sleeping near the edge.
- A good fit for guest rooms: Visiting couples can share it properly, and the hypoallergenic bamboo cover is a kind touch for guests with sensitive skin.
This size suits you if...
You're a couple in a typical UK bedroom and want a shared bed that still leaves space for wardrobes and bedside tables on both sides, you're kitting out a guest room that needs to sleep visiting couples, or you sleep alone and want spreading-out room, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner. Allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space.
Consider another size if...
You share with a restless partner, since the open coils transfer movement and 67.5cm each leaves little escape room. The UK king, 15cm wider and 10cm longer, would suit you better; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

Is the Bodyshape Vitality Bamboo double big enough for two adults?
Yes for most couples. At 135cm wide you each get 67.5cm, roughly the width of a cot each. Because this mattress uses connected open coil springs rather than pocket springs, you will feel some movement when your partner turns, so lighter sleepers sharing with a fidgeter may prefer sizing up to the UK king.
What room size do I need for the Bodyshape Vitality in a UK double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That leaves room to walk round the bed and open drawers. If you want bedside tables on both sides, the double is often the largest size a typical UK bedroom will take gracefully.
Should I buy the Bodyshape Vitality Bamboo in a double or a king?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king. If you share with a restless partner, that extra width helps offset the open coil movement transfer, but you'd need a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m. In an average bedroom the UK double leaves noticeably more living space.
Is the double a good choice for a guest room?
It's a sensible one. A UK double sleeps visiting couples properly, and this mattress's budget price suits a bed that's used a few weekends a year rather than nightly. The bamboo cover's hypoallergenic finish is a bonus for guests with allergies, and standard double bedding is cheap and easy to find.
Would the UK small double be enough instead of the double?
For a solo sleeper in a tight room, possibly. The UK double is 15cm wider than the UK small double and both are the same length, so you're trading width alone. For two people sharing this mattress we'd stay with the UK double, since the open coils already transfer some movement and narrower beds make that more noticeable.
