Layer Details
- Damask Cover. A breathable Belgian damask fabric cover. It lets air move through the sleep surface, which helps you stay cooler through the night.
- Natural Silk Layer. A soft, lightweight natural silk layer sitting near the surface. It adds a gentle, comfortable feel over the firmer materials below.
- Authentic Traceable British Wool. Wool from British Cheviot sheep, traceable from farm to shop, chosen for a fleece that's strong yet soft. It provides a natural bounce and helps regulate your temperature, so you're less likely to overheat.
- Cashmere. A rare filling that's softer and finer than wool, typically reserved for higher quality mattresses. It adds a touch of surface softness to what is otherwise a firm mattress.
- 2000 Pocket Springs. Each spring sits in its own fabric pocket, which means they work independently and respond to your body's shape rather than moving as one unit. That gives better pressure relief and less motion transfer between partners.

- Fits the typical UK bedroom: At 135 x 190cm (4ft 6in x 6ft 3in), it leaves room for wardrobes and drawers where a UK king would dominate.
- Room for bedside tables on both sides: In most rooms meeting our suggested 2.6m x 2.8m minimum, a UK double still allows a table and lamp each side.
- Sharing without waking each other: You each get 67.5cm of width, and the 2000 pocket springs move independently, so a partner turning over disturbs you less.
- Two sleepers, less trapped heat: Sharing a bed adds warmth, and the breathable damask cover and temperature-regulating British wool help keep the surface from getting stuffy.
- Bedding is cheap and everywhere: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet are stocked at every price point, which matters if you're furnishing a whole home at once.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your room sits around our suggested 2.6m x 2.8m minimum, so a UK king would crowd it. It also fits if you're setting up a guest room for visiting couples, or you sleep alone and want space to stretch out on a firm surface without giving the bed the whole room.
Consider another size if...
You or your partner keep waking pressed against the edge, or a dog or cat claims a corner most nights. We'd recommend the UK king instead: it's 15cm wider and 10cm longer, and we suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

What are the dimensions of the Highgrove Ashbourne Ortho 2000 in a UK double?
The UK double measures 135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in. It's 33cm deep, which is substantial, so allow for that when buying a fitted sheet. Deep or extra-deep double sheets are the safer choice for a mattress of this depth.
Is the Highgrove Ashbourne Ortho 2000 UK double comfortable for a couple?
Yes, with a condition. You each get 67.5cm of width, and the 2000 pocket springs respond independently, so you'll feel less of a partner's movement. It's a firm mattress though, so it suits couples who both like solid support. If one of you is a lightweight side sleeper, the feel may be a little unyielding.
How much bigger is the UK king version than the UK double?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king. That extra width is noticeable for two people sharing, but the UK king needs more floor space: we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it, against 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.
Will the UK double Highgrove Ashbourne Ortho 2000 fit up a narrow staircase?
Usually, but measure first. At 135cm wide and 33cm deep, it's a bulky item to turn on the tight landings of older terraces and some new builds. Pocket spring mattresses can't be rolled or folded, so check your stairwell's tightest turn against 135cm before ordering, and check the brand's own delivery guidance.
What size room do I need for this mattress in a UK double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That's our guidance, not Highgrove's. At the minimum you can still walk round both sides; the roomier figure gives you bedside tables on each side plus a wardrobe without squeezing past furniture.
