Key benefits
- Space for two, and for your furniture: At 135 x 190cm it leaves floor around the bed, and in a room of around 3m x 3m you can usually keep bedside tables on both sides.
- One flip suits you both: When you turn it to match the weather, you both move to the same wool or cotton surface, which keeps a shared bed consistent from one side to the other.
- Bedding that's easy to find: Standard double sheets fit, along with a 200 x 200cm double duvet, so kitting out a first flat or a whole new home is simpler.
- Foam-free for both sleepers: It's made without glue, chemicals or foam, which suits couples where one or both of you would rather avoid a foam bed.
- Plan the route in: It's 35cm deep and the full double width, so measure tight landings and turning stairs in older terraces before you order.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night in a bedroom of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, you'd like a bedside table each without the room feeling crowded, and you're both happy to flip a two-sided natural mattress together when the weather changes.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than 2.6m x 2.8m, so a double would leave little floor. We'd recommend the UK small double instead, for which we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Is the Flaxby Hempstead UK double big enough for two people?
For most couples, yes. The UK double gives you 67.5cm each, the traditional shared allowance in Britain. If one of you sprawls or you're both broad across the shoulders, the UK king gives 75cm each, which is 7.5cm more per person, although it needs a larger room.
What size bedroom do I need for a UK double Flaxby Hempstead?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m. Around 3m x 3m is more comfortable, as it leaves space to walk round both sides, open a wardrobe and fit bedside tables. In a smaller second bedroom, the UK small double may be the better fit.
Should I get the Flaxby Hempstead in a UK double or a UK king?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king. Choose the UK king if you want more room each and your bedroom allows at least 2.7m x 2.9m. Choose the UK double if floor space is limited or you'd like your bedside tables to fit comfortably.
What bedding fits a Flaxby Hempstead double mattress?
Standard double sheets fit the 135 x 190cm surface, and a 200 x 200cm double duvet gives good coverage for two. The mattress is 35cm deep, so look for fitted sheets made for deeper mattresses and check the pocket depth before buying.
How big is the Flaxby Hempstead UK double in feet?
The UK double measures 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, which is 135 x 190cm. It's the same length as the UK single and UK small double, so taller couples who want extra length would need to size up to the UK king or UK super king.
