Key benefits
- Room for a visiting couple: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double gives two guests 67.5cm each, which is comfortable for a weekend stay without the bed taking over the spare room.
- Leaves space for other furniture: We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, so many second bedrooms can still take a wardrobe and a chest of drawers alongside it.
- Bedside tables on both sides: In a room of around 3m x 3m, there's usually space for a table on each side, which means neither guest has to climb over the other at night.
- Bedding that's easy to find: Double sheets are stocked almost everywhere and a 200 x 200cm double duvet fits, which keeps dressing a guest bed simple when you're furnishing several rooms at once.
- Two sides to share the wear: Because it's double-sided and turnable, you can flip it over rather than letting two people press into the same spots on one side every night.
This size suits you if...
You're setting up a guest room where couples stay for a few nights at a time, or you sleep alone, like a firm bed and want space to spread out in a typical UK bedroom.
Consider another size if...
You and a partner share every night and want more than 67.5cm each. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

FAQ's
Will a UK double Spare Room Ortho Plus fit in a small second bedroom?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, with around 3m x 3m feeling comfortable. If your room is tighter than that, the UK small double would suit you better: it's 15cm narrower, the same length, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m.
Is the Spare Room Ortho Plus double big enough for two adults?
Each sleeper gets 67.5cm in a UK double, which works for couples who don't mind being close, particularly guests staying a few nights. If two adults will use it every night, the UK king gives 7.5cm more each and is 10cm longer, which taller sleepers tend to notice.
What size is the British Bed Company Spare Room Ortho Plus double in feet?
The UK double measures 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, or 135 x 190cm. Older terraces with turning stairs and new build landings can both be tight, so measure the stairs against those figures first, then compare the retailers listed on this page.
What bedding fits a UK double Spare Room Ortho Plus mattress?
Standard double sheets fit, and a 200 x 200cm double duvet covers the bed. The mattress is 28cm deep, so check that any fitted sheet you buy is made for a mattress of that depth before ordering.
Is a UK double or UK king better for a guest room?
For most spare rooms, the UK double is the easier fit: we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, against 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer, so it's worth the extra space if your regular guests are tall.
