Key benefits
- Room to share, room to walk around: At 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, the UK double leaves space for wardrobes and drawers in a typical bedroom, where a UK king often would not.
- A shape two sleepers can agree on: The 5-zone pocket spring core adapts to each body separately, useful when 67.5cm each for two people sharing puts you fairly close together.
- Firm edges make the width go further: The comfort foam edge support means you can sleep right to the border of the 135cm width without feeling you might slip off.
- Bedside tables on both sides: Allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m and most rooms will still take a table each side, which a wider size can rule out.
- Easy to dress, easy to wash: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet are sold everywhere, and the removable washable cover is simple to care for.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want the traditional couples' size in a room where a UK king would crowd everything else. It also suits you if you sleep alone and like space to stretch, or a pet insists on a corner, or you're furnishing a guest room that visiting couples will use.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like to sprawl, or one of you is a restless sleeper. The UK king gives you 15cm more width and 10cm more length, and we'd recommend it if your room allows.

FAQ's
Is the Emma Original double big enough for two adults?
For most couples, yes. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the Emma Original's edge support firms up the perimeter so you can use all of that width. Larger or restless sleepers may prefer the UK king, which is 15cm wider and 10cm longer.
What room size do I need for the Emma Original in a UK double?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That leaves space to walk around the bed and, in most rooms, to fit bedside tables on both sides. This is our guidance rather than Emma's, so measure your own room before ordering.
Will a double Emma Original fit up narrow stairs?
It arrives rolled and boxed, which makes the turn on the stairs of an older terrace or a tight new build landing far easier than a rigid sprung mattress of the same 135 x 190cm size. Once unrolled it expands, so get it to the right room first.
Should I get the Emma Original in a double or a king?
Choose the UK double if your room is close to the 2.6m x 2.8m minimum we suggest, or if you want floor space left over. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer, so sleepers over 6ft or couples who both spread out will feel the difference.
What bedding fits the Emma Original double?
Standard UK double bedding: fitted sheets sized 135 x 190cm and a 200 x 200cm double duvet. Both are stocked everywhere at every price, which makes this the cheapest size to dress well. Check the sheet's depth allowance covers the mattress, and remember the cover itself is removable and washable.
