Layer Details
- Cover. A damask fabric cover, hand-tufted for breathability. Tufting anchors the fillings in place, which means the surface stays even rather than shifting into lumps over time.
- Spring system. A 1,000 pocket spring unit providing support all night long. Each spring works independently, so the mattress responds to a lighter body rather than staying rigid beneath it.

- A shared size that fits ordinary rooms: At 135cm wide, the UK double gives two people space to share while leaving room for a wardrobe and drawers, which most UK bedrooms can accommodate.
- Springs that suit lighter sleepers: The 1,000 pocket springs move independently, which means a lighter body sinks in and gets support rather than lying on top of a firm slab.
- Easy to dress: Double sheets and duvets are sold everywhere at every price, and the 23cm depth sits comfortably within standard fitted sheets.
- Sensible for a guest room: A double takes visiting couples without dominating a spare room, and this mattress's affordable positioning suits a bed that isn't slept on every night.
- Room to grow into: For an older child or teenager who has outgrown a single, the extra width means the mattress can last through years of growth spurts.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a teenager or older child who has outgrown their single and has the floor space for something wider, you need a guest bed that can take visiting couples without a fuss, or you're furnishing a first flat or second bedroom on a budget and want a proper pocket sprung mattress in the classic shared size.
Consider another size if...
Your child's room is on the smaller side and a 135cm wide bed would leave no space for a wardrobe or desk. The UK single would suit you better: it's 45cm narrower, the same length, and we suggest a room of at least 2.1m x 2.8m for it.

How big is the Capsule Elite mattress in a UK double?
It measures 135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, and stands 23cm deep. That's the standard UK double footprint, so any double bed frame, fitted sheet or 200 x 200cm duvet will fit it without any adjustment.
Is the Capsule Elite double big enough for two adults?
It gives two people sharing 67.5cm of width each, which is workable but snug. Bear in mind this mattress is designed with children in mind, so it suits occasional adult use, a guest room say, better than a main bedroom slept in by a couple every night.
What size room do I need for the Capsule Elite 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 smaller figure leaves walking space but little else, so if you want bedside tables on both sides plus a wardrobe, measure carefully before you commit.
Should I choose the Capsule Elite in a UK single or a UK double?
The UK double is 45cm wider than the UK single, and both are the same length. For a younger child in a compact room, the UK single is usually the sensible pick. The UK double suits a teenager with the space to spread out, or a spare room that hosts couples.
Does the Capsule Elite double work as a guest bed?
Yes, and arguably better than as an everyday adult bed. The 1,000 pocket springs move independently, so two guests sharing won't feel every turn the other makes, and the double footprint fits most spare rooms. For a bed used a few weekends a year, its affordable positioning makes sense.
