Layer Details
- Built for two in a normal room: At 135 x 190cm it gives a couple a shared bed without swallowing the floor space of a typical UK bedroom.
- 67.5cm each for two people sharing: That's the width each of you gets, which most couples find workable, although restless or broad-shouldered pairs may feel the squeeze.
- Pocket springs help in a shared bed: Individually wrapped springs flex where you press, which means you feel less of a partner shifting than you would on open coils.
- Room for bedside tables: Allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m and most rooms will still take a table on each side, which matters more than a wider bed for many couples.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet are sold everywhere at every price, handy if you're furnishing a whole home at once.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want the classic couples' size that leaves your room usable, or you sleep alone and like space to spread out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner. It also suits a guest room that regularly hosts visiting couples, since a UK double is what most guests expect to find.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both want more personal space and your room measures at least 2.7m x 2.9m. In that case we'd recommend the UK king instead, which is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double.

Is a UK double big enough for the Ortho Plush 1500 to suit a couple?
For most couples, yes. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the pocket spring construction reduces how much you feel a partner moving. That said, if either of you is tall or sleeps sprawled, the UK king adds 15cm of width and 10cm of length, provided your room can take it.
What room size do I need for the Ortho Plush 1500 in a double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. Our guidance, not the manufacturer's. That usually leaves space for a wardrobe and drawers too, which is why the UK double remains the default for second bedrooms and first flats.
Should I get the Ortho Plush 1500 in a double or a king?
Choose the UK double if your bedroom is on the smaller side or you want bedside tables on both sides without the bed dominating the room. Choose the UK king if you share nightly and value personal space; it's 15cm wider and 10cm longer, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.
Will the double get up the stairs in an older house?
Harrison Spinks doesn't publish a weight for this mattress, and pocket spring models generally shouldn't be folded, so measure any turning stairs or tight landings before ordering. The UK double's 135cm width is more forgiving on awkward staircases than a UK king, which is one quiet advantage of this size.
