Layer Details
- Reflex Memory Foam. A 15.5cm layer of Reflex Memory foam that adapts to changes in weight, pressure and activity, which means you get targeted support that responds as you shift position through the night. This is the bulk of the mattress and where its firm, supportive character comes from.
- High Density Memory Foam. A 2.5cm layer of high density memory foam sits within the core, moulding around your body for a weightless feel. It adds a touch of cosy comfort to soften the firm base beneath.

- The classic shared size: At 135 x 190cm you get 67.5cm each for two people sharing, enough for most couples who sleep reasonably close.
- Fits typical UK bedrooms: We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which means most doubles-by-name bedrooms take this size with space to walk around.
- Firm support for two: The firm memory foam build resists sagging toward the middle, so a heavier partner is less likely to pull you into their side.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and duvets fit straight away and are stocked everywhere, so there's no hunting for odd bedding sizes.
- Room for bedside tables: At 4ft 6in wide, a double usually leaves space for a small table on each side where a UK king would crowd the walls.
This size suits you if...
You're a couple wanting the traditional shared size in a room where a UK king would feel cramped, you sleep alone but like space to stretch out or share with a pet, or you're furnishing a guest room that needs to take visiting couples without much fuss.
Consider another size if...
Your room comfortably exceeds 2.7m x 2.9m and you both want more space, or one of you is a restless sleeper. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double.

Is the Bodyshape Vitality double big enough for two adults?
For most couples, yes. The UK double gives you 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the firm foam build keeps each side stable rather than dipping toward the heavier sleeper. If either of you is tall or spreads out in the night, the UK king adds 15cm of width and 10cm of length.
What room size do I need for the Bodyshape Vitality in a UK double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That allows the door and drawers to open properly and, in most rooms, leaves space for bedside tables on both sides. Our guidance, not the manufacturer's, so measure your own room before committing.
Is the UK double Bodyshape Vitality a good guest room mattress?
It's a strong candidate. The UK double takes visiting couples as well as solo guests, and the firm feel suits occasional use where you can't tailor the mattress to one person. Guests who prefer a soft, deep-cushioned bed may find it a little unyielding, but for a spare room that's a fair trade.
Should I choose the Bodyshape Vitality in a double or a small double?
The UK double is 15cm wider than the UK small double, and they're the same length. For two people sharing every night, that extra width matters, so take the UK double if your room allows it. The UK small double suits solo sleepers in tighter rooms, where we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m.
Is a double too big for one person?
Not with this mattress. A solo sleeper on the UK double gets the full 135cm width to stretch out, and the firm surface stays consistent edge to edge, useful if a dog or cat claims a corner each night. If your room is small, the UK single is 45cm narrower at the same length.
