- The classic shared size: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double is the long-established choice for two people, giving 67.5cm each for two people sharing.
- Fits most UK bedrooms: Allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m and you should still have space for bedside tables on both sides, which the wider UK king often rules out.
- Two feels, one footprint: You pick Medium or Firm when ordering, so a couple can match the mattress to how they sleep without changing the size.
- Eight layers of cushioning: The Elite's layered build, including 2500 mini pocket springs over 1000 larger ones, means a taller, more contoured feel than a basic double.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet fit, and both are stocked everywhere at every price point.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want a premium mattress in a size your bedroom can comfortably absorb, or you sleep alone and like room to stretch out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner. It also suits a guest room that regularly hosts visiting couples, where a UK king would crowd the space.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both want more personal space than 67.5cm each, and your room measures at least 2.7m x 2.9m. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which is 15cm wider and 10cm longer.

Is a UK double Brook + Wilde Elite big enough for two adults?
For most couples, yes. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, which has been Britain's standard shared width for decades. If either of you is broad, tall or a restless sleeper, the UK king adds 15cm of width and 10cm of length, provided your room allows at least 2.7m x 2.9m.
What room size do I need for the Elite in a UK double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That smaller footprint is the UK double's real advantage: it leaves room for a wardrobe and drawers in a first flat or second bedroom, where a UK king would leave you squeezing past the bed frame.
Will the UK double Elite fit up narrow stairs?
Brook + Wilde don't publish delivery dimensions for the rolled mattress, so check with the brand before ordering if you have a turning staircase in an older terrace or a tight new build landing. A UK double is generally easier to manoeuvre than a UK king, which helps in awkward hallways.
Can each side of the double be a different firmness?
No, you choose one feel for the whole mattress, Medium or Firm. Side sleepers and lighter bodies tend to prefer Medium, while back and front sleepers usually get on better with Firm, so couples who split on this may need to compromise. Split firmness isn't offered in any size of the Elite.
