Layer Details
- A fit for typical UK bedrooms: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double leaves walking space and room for furniture in bedrooms where larger sizes start to feel tight.
- Less partner disturbance where it matters: With 67.5cm each for two people sharing, the independent pocket springs mean one of you turning over is far less likely to wake the other.
- Firm support for two, side by side: The firmer feel holds both sleepers level rather than rolling you towards the middle, useful when partners differ in weight.
- Room for bedside tables both sides: In most rooms meeting our suggested 2.6m x 2.8m minimum, a UK double still allows a bedside table on each side of the bed.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet are sold everywhere, so replacing bedding is cheap and simple.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want a firm, supportive surface without giving up floor space, or you sleep alone and like room to spread out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner. It also makes sense for a guest room that hosts visiting couples, where a firm pocket spring mattress will suit a range of unknown sleepers reasonably well.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like space and your room can take a bigger bed. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer, and we'd recommend it instead if your room allows at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

Is the Silver 6500 in a UK double big enough for a couple?
Yes, for most couples. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the firmer pocket spring build keeps you both supported on your own side rather than sinking towards the centre. Taller or restless couples with a bigger room may prefer the UK king, which is 15cm wider and 10cm longer.
What are the dimensions of the Silver 6500 UK double?
It measures 135 x 190cm, which is 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in. That is the standard UK double footprint, so it will fit any standard double bed frame and take ordinary double sheets with a 200 x 200cm duvet.
Will the Silver 6500 double fit with bedside tables on both sides?
In most rooms, yes. We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, and at that size there is usually enough width for a bedside table each side plus space to walk around. In a small second bedroom already holding a wardrobe and drawers, measure carefully first.
How much smaller is the UK double than the UK king?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king. That 15cm is roughly the difference between a comfortable shared bed and a generous one, but the UK king needs more room: we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it, against 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.
Is a firm UK double a good choice for a guest room?
It works well. Visiting couples fit comfortably on a UK double, and a firm pocket spring surface suits back and front sleepers of varying weights. The one caveat is lightweight side sleepers, who may find the firmer feel a little unforgiving at the shoulder and hip for longer stays.
