- Room for two, space left over: At 135cm wide, the UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, in a footprint that leaves most bedrooms feeling like rooms rather than mattress storage.
- Fits guest rooms and first flats: If you're furnishing a spare room for visiting couples, or a first flat where the bed shares space with a wardrobe, this size is the sensible default.
- Bedside tables on both sides: Allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m and most rooms will still take a table each side, which a UK king often makes tight.
- Easy bedding: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet are sold everywhere at every price point, so dressing the bed costs less than the larger sizes.
- Generous for one: A solo sleeper gets 45cm more width than a UK single, which is welcome if you spread out, or share the bed with a dog who claims a corner.
This size suits you if...
You're a couple in a typical UK bedroom and want the traditional shared size, you're kitting out a guest room that needs to take visiting couples, or you sleep alone and want more spread-out space than a UK single offers. It also suits anyone furnishing a whole home at once, since double bedding and frames are the cheapest and easiest to find.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like space and your room comfortably exceeds 3m x 3m. The Highgrove Aspen Memory Pocket 1500 in a UK king gives you 15cm more width and 10cm more length, and we'd recommend it if the room allows.

How big is the Highgrove Aspen Memory Pocket 1500 in a UK double?
It measures 135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in. That's the standard UK double footprint, so it will fit any UK double bed frame. Two people sharing get 67.5cm of width each, a little less than each person would have on a UK single to themselves.
Is the UK double Aspen Memory Pocket 1500 big enough for two adults?
For most couples, yes. The UK double has been Britain's standard shared size for decades, giving 67.5cm each for two people sharing. If either of you is tall, or you both sleep spread out, the UK king adds 15cm of width and 10cm of length, provided your room can take it.
What room size do I need for a double Highgrove Aspen mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That leaves walking space on both sides and room for bedside tables, which is often the deciding factor in older terraces and new build second bedrooms where a UK king would dominate.
Should I get this mattress in a UK double or a UK small double?
The UK double is 15cm wider than the UK small double, and they're the same length. For a couple, that extra width matters night after night, so we'd lean towards the UK double unless your room genuinely can't take it. Solo sleepers in a compact room may find the UK small double the better fit.
How does the UK double compare with the other sizes of this mattress?
The UK double is 45cm wider than the UK single at the same length, 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king, and 45cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK super king. It sits in the middle of the range: the biggest option that still fits comfortably in a typical UK bedroom.
