Key benefits
- Shared space without crowding the room: You each get 67.5cm of width, which means two people can share comfortably while a modest bedroom keeps room for a wardrobe and a chest of drawers.
- Fits most UK main bedrooms: We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m more comfortable, so most typical bedrooms can take a UK double with a bedside table on each side.
- Two sides, two pairs of hands: Turning a two-sided mattress in a UK double is easiest with two people, and the border handles give you both a grip so you can spread wear evenly.
- Bedding is simple to buy: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet fit, which means you can keep the bedding you already own or replace it cheaply from almost any shop.
- A sensible guest room choice: The firm, traditional feel suits back sleepers well, so a UK double gives visiting couples a supportive night without committing a spare room to a larger bed.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night in a typical UK bedroom and want to keep space for bedside tables, or you're kitting out a guest room for visiting couples who like a firmer, more traditional feel.
Consider another size if...
You're both tall or like plenty of personal space, as 67.5cm each can feel snug. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 7.5cm more each; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.

FAQ's
Is a UK double Contract Hotel Rest Deluxe big enough for two people?
For most couples, yes. A UK double gives you 67.5cm each, which is enough for two average sleepers who don't sprawl. The firm surface also means you stay where you are rather than sinking towards the middle. If one of you moves a lot at night, the extra width of a UK king may suit you better.
What size bedroom do I need for a UK double mattress?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double. That leaves room to walk round the bed and open drawers. If you want bedside tables on both sides plus a wardrobe, around 3m x 3m feels more comfortable. Measure from the walls, then allow a little extra for the bed frame itself.
UK double or UK king for a couple: which should I choose?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king, so you each get 7.5cm less width. In return it fits smaller rooms: the UK king needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m by our guidance. Choose the UK double if floor space is tight, and the UK king if either of you is tall.
Do standard double fitted sheets fit the Hotel Rest Deluxe UK double?
Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet fit the UK double. The mattress is 26cm deep, so check the pocket depth on any fitted sheet before you buy. A deep pocket fitted sheet will stay put better, especially since you'll be flipping this two-sided mattress from time to time.
Should a solo sleeper choose a UK double or a UK small double?
The UK double is 15cm wider than the UK small double and the same length. That extra width is welcome if a dog or cat claims a corner, or if a partner stays over sometimes. If your room is small, the UK small double needs at least 2.4m x 2.8m by our guidance, compared with 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.
