- A footprint most bedrooms can take: At 135 x 190cm it leaves room for a wardrobe and drawers where a UK king would start to dominate.
- Space for bedside tables on both sides: In an average room, the UK double usually still allows a table each side of the bed, which sizing up can quietly take away.
- A sensible shared width: Two people sharing get 67.5cm each, enough for most couples who sleep reasonably close, though restless pairs may want more.
- The smallest, and least expensive, way into the Ultima: With no single or small double in the range, the UK double is the most affordable route to the Ultima's spring-and-foam build.
- 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 your room sits around the typical UK size, so a UK king would eat too much floor space. It also suits a guest room that hosts visiting couples, or a solo sleeper who likes to spread out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner. Allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m of room, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both want more personal space and your room can spare the floor. We'd recommend the Ultima in a UK king instead: it's 15cm wider and 10cm longer, and we suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

Is the Brook + Wilde Ultima in a UK double big enough for a couple?
For most couples, yes. Two people sharing a UK double get 67.5cm of width each, which suits pairs who sleep fairly close or keep still. If one of you is broad-shouldered or a restless sleeper, the Ultima in a UK king adds 15cm of width and 10cm of length.
Is the UK double the smallest size the Ultima comes in?
Yes. Brook + Wilde make the Ultima in UK double, UK king and UK super king only. There's no single or small double, so if your room can't take a 135 x 190cm bed, you'll need to look at a different mattress rather than a smaller Ultima.
What room size do I need for the Ultima in a UK double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That's our own guidance rather than the brand's, and it assumes you want to open drawers and walk around the bed without shuffling sideways. Bedside tables on both sides usually still fit at this size.
Will a UK double Ultima get up narrow stairs?
The mattress measures 135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, and its sprung construction means it can't be folded like an all-foam roll-up. Measure any turning stairs in older terraces and tight new build landings before ordering, and ask the retailer about access requirements if you're unsure.
Should I buy the Ultima in a double or a king?
Choose the UK double if your room is around the typical UK size, or if you want the least expensive way into this mattress. Choose the UK king if you both want more space and your room measures at least 2.7m x 2.9m: it's 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double.
