Layer Details
- Cover. The top cover of the mattress.
- Airgocell foam layer. Emma's Airgocell foam sits beneath the cover, which means a cushioned, pressure-relieving surface where your body first meets the mattress.
- SupportBase foam. A supportive foam layer that sits between the comfort foam and the springs, helping to keep your spine aligned.
- 3-zone pocket spring core. A pocket spring core divided into three zones, with a wraparound comfort foam edge. The zoning means support is tailored to different parts of your body, while the foam edge keeps the perimeter feeling stable.
Layer details from emma-sleep.co.uk product page, September 2026.
- A shared bed that leaves room to live: At 135cm wide the UK double gives couples 67.5cm each for two people sharing, while still fitting comfortably in an average British bedroom.
- Zoned support for two different bodies: The 3-zone pocket spring core adjusts support across the mattress, which means each of you gets firmer support where you carry more weight.
- Edge support matters more when sharing: The wraparound comfort foam edge keeps the perimeter stable, so on a 135cm width neither of you feels perched when sleeping near the side.
- Easy to move in and dress: The 22cm profile is slimmer than many hybrids, which helps on turning stairs in older terraces and means standard double fitted sheets go on without a struggle.
- Bedding costs stay low: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet are stocked everywhere at every price, useful if this bed is one line on a long furnishing list.
This size suits you if...
You're a couple in a typical UK bedroom, where a UK king would crowd the walk-around space, or you're kitting out a guest room that needs to sleep visiting pairs comfortably. It also suits solo sleepers who like to spread out, and anyone furnishing a whole home who wants a shared-size bed at a modest price. Allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both toss and turn, or one of you is broad shouldered, because 67.5cm each can feel snug. The UK double is 15cm narrower than the UK king, so we'd recommend the UK king if your room allows it.

Is the Emma Original Lite double big enough for two adults?
For most couples, yes. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the 3-zone pocket springs support each sleeper independently. The foam edge helps too, since it keeps the sides usable rather than soft. That said, restless sleepers or larger builds may prefer the extra width of a UK king.
What room size do I need for the Emma Original Lite in a UK double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. The mattress itself is 135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, so in a typical room you should still fit bedside tables on both sides plus a wardrobe without squeezing past the bed.
Will the Emma Original Lite double fit up narrow stairs?
It's one of the easier mattresses to move. At 22cm deep it's slimmer than many hybrids, which helps on the tight turns you get in older terraced houses and compact new build landings. It arrives boxed too, so you carry it upstairs compressed rather than wrestling a full-size mattress round the bannister.
Should I get the Emma Original Lite in a double or a king?
The UK double is 15cm narrower than the UK king, and 10cm shorter too. If your bedroom is on the smaller side or you want cheaper bedding, the UK double is the practical pick. If you share every night and have the floor space, the UK king is the more comfortable long-term choice.
