- Room for two without crowding the bedroom: At 135cm wide, the UK double gives a couple genuine sharing space in a footprint that leaves room to walk around the bed.
- Pocket springs matter more when you share: Individual springs move independently, which means a partner shifting position at 3am registers far less on your side of the bed.
- 67.5cm each when sharing: Two people sharing get 67.5cm each, enough for most couples, although restless sleepers or those who spread out may want more.
- Bedding is easy and cheap to find: Double sheets and duvets are stocked everywhere at every price, so dressing this mattress never involves hunting for an unusual size.
- A sensible guest room choice: A double comfortably hosts visiting couples, and this size keeps a spare room usable for other furniture too.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want the traditional couples' size that still leaves space for a wardrobe and drawers, your bedroom is around the 2.6m x 2.8m mark where a bigger bed would feel cramped, or you sleep alone and want space to stretch out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like room to spread, and your bedroom measures at least 2.7m x 2.9m. We'd recommend the UK king instead: it is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double.

Is the Heritage 2000 UK double big enough for a couple?
For most couples, yes. Two people sharing get 67.5cm of width each, and the pocket spring design helps here, since each spring compresses on its own and limits how much movement travels across the bed. If either of you is broad shouldered or a restless sleeper, the UK king adds 15cm of width and 10cm of length.
What size room do I need for the Heritage 2000 in a double?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That leaves enough clearance to open drawers and change the sheets. If you want bedside tables on both sides, measure the wall the bed sits against: the mattress is 135cm wide, so check what remains either side.
Should I buy the Heritage 2000 in a UK double or a UK king?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king. Choose the UK double if your room is close to our 2.6m x 2.8m minimum, or if you want the bed to feel proportionate rather than dominant. Sharing every night with space to spare between you? The UK king needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m.
Is the UK double Heritage 2000 a good choice for a guest room?
It works well. A double hosts visiting couples comfortably, and at 135 x 190cm it leaves room in a typical spare bedroom for a wardrobe or a desk. The pocket springs are a quiet bonus for guests who share, since one person moving disturbs the other less than on a connected spring unit.
Will a double Heritage 2000 fit up a narrow staircase?
Pocket spring mattresses like this one usually arrive flat rather than rolled, and at 135 x 190cm a double needs careful handling on turning stairs in older terraces or tight new build landings. British Bed Company doesn't publish weight or delivery dimensions for this size, so measure your tightest turn and check with the retailer before ordering.
