Layer Details
- Soft damask cover. A soft woven damask cover that promotes breathability, which means heat can escape rather than build up around you. The patterned finish gives it a traditional look.
- 25mm memory foam layer. A 25mm layer of body-moulding memory foam sits above the springs, with small holes that seep out air under pressure. In practice, that means the foam moves with the contours of your body rather than trapping you in one spot.
- 1000 pocket spring unit. 1000 independently moving pocket springs respond to your movement individually. That helps prevent roll-together, so a partner shifting position is less likely to disturb you.

- A footprint most bedrooms accept: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double allow us to suggest a minimum room of just 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm.
- Room for bedside tables both sides: Where a UK king can push furniture out of the room, the UK double usually leaves space for a table and lamp each side of the bed.
- Pocket springs matter more when you share: With 67.5cm each for two people sharing, the 1000 independent pocket springs limit roll-together, so one partner turning over is less likely to wake the other.
- Easy to dress on any budget: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet are stocked everywhere, useful if you're kitting out a whole home at once.
- Kind to guest rooms too: Medium tension and gentle memory foam contouring suit visiting couples with different preferences, which makes this size a safe spare room choice.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your room sits around the typical UK size, roughly 3m x 3m or a little under. Or you're furnishing a first flat or a guest room and want a size that visiting couples, future housemates and standard bedding all fit without fuss. It also suits a solo sleeper who likes space to spread out, even with a dog or cat claiming a corner.
Consider another size if...
You're a taller couple or you both like room to stretch, since 67.5cm each is workable rather than generous. We'd recommend the UK king instead: it's 15cm wider and 10cm longer, and needs a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

Is the Memory Pocket Deluxe 1000 double big enough for two adults?
For most couples, yes. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the 1000 pocket springs move independently, so you feel less of your partner's movement across that shared width. Broader or taller couples may prefer the UK king, which adds 15cm of width and 10cm of length.
What room size do I need for this mattress in a UK double?
We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That usually leaves space for a wardrobe, a chest of drawers and bedside tables on both sides, which is why the UK double remains the default in typical British bedrooms.
Will the UK double version fit up a narrow staircase?
At 135 x 190cm it's the widest size that still moves fairly easily through older terraces and tight new build landings, and the border handles help when turning it on stairs. Measure your tightest corner before ordering, since this is a 26cm deep hybrid rather than a roll-packed mattress.
Is a double a good choice for a guest room?
It's arguably the ideal guest size: big enough for visiting couples, small enough that the room still functions between visits. The medium tension is a safe middle ground for guests with different preferences, and double bedding is cheap and easy to find, handy if the spare room budget is limited.
