Key benefits
- Fits the bedrooms most couples have: At 135 x 190cm, it sits in a room of 2.6m x 2.8m or more, which means a wardrobe and a chest of drawers can usually share the space.
- Space for bedside tables: In a room of around 3m x 3m, a UK double normally leaves space for a bedside table on each side, so nobody climbs over their partner to switch off a lamp.
- One seasonal side for both of you: You turn the whole mattress together as the weather changes, so you both sleep on the summer side or the winter side without arguing over extra blankets.
- Bedding you can buy anywhere: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet are sold almost everywhere, although at 39cm deep you'll want fitted sheets with generous pockets.
- Easier on tight stairs: A UK double is 15cm narrower than a UK king, which can help on the turning staircase of an older terrace or a cramped new build landing.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner and want a proper couples' size that still leaves room for a wardrobe and bedside tables, or you sleep alone, like to spread out and have a cat or dog that claims the foot of the bed most nights.
Consider another size if...
One of you is tall or you both move a lot in your sleep, and 67.5cm each feels tight. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

FAQ's
Is the Flaxby Silkstone UK double big enough for two people?
For most couples, yes. A UK double gives you 67.5cm each, which suits partners who sleep fairly still. If either of you sprawls, the UK king gives 75cm each, so the UK double offers 7.5cm less per person. Its 190cm length also suits most adults, although taller sleepers may prefer the extra length of the UK king.
What room size do I need for a UK double Flaxby Silkstone mattress?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double. Around 3m x 3m is more comfortable, because it usually leaves room for bedside tables on both sides and space to open a wardrobe. In a smaller second bedroom, measure where the door swings before you commit.
What bedding fits a 39cm deep UK double mattress?
Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet fit the 135 x 190cm surface. The 39cm depth is the part to plan for: choose fitted sheets with extra-deep pockets, and check the elastic grips well, especially if you remove the cashmere pillow top and refit sheets often.
Should we choose the UK double or the UK king of the Flaxby Silkstone?
Choose the UK double if your room is around 2.6m x 2.8m and you want space for furniture. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer, giving 75cm each, but we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it. Couples who sleep restlessly usually notice the extra width.
Will a UK double mattress fit up narrow stairs?
Often, but check first. A UK double is 135cm wide and this one is 39cm deep, so measure the tightest turn on the stairs and the landing against both figures. Older terraces with winding stairs are the usual problem. Measure the stairs first, then compare the retailers listed on this page.
