Key benefits
- A genuine two-person footprint: At 135cm across, a UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, which means a couple can sleep side by side without negotiating every inch.
- Fits the rooms most of us actually have: We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which many second bedrooms and first-flat bedrooms manage, often with space left for a wardrobe and drawers.
- The safe pick for a guest room: A double works for visiting couples and solo guests alike, so if this bed has to serve whoever turns up, this size covers most of them.
- Practical for furnishing several rooms at once: For landlords or anyone kitting out a whole property, a contract mattress in the standard couples' size is an easy line to repeat across bedrooms.
- Bedding is cheap and everywhere: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet are stocked at every price point, which keeps the total cost of setting up the bed down.
This size suits you if...
You're a couple in a typical UK bedroom where a UK king would crowd the walls, you're furnishing a rental or guest room and want the size that suits the widest range of occupants, or you sleep alone and want proper space to spread out. The double is the default shared size for a reason, and a contract mattress in this footprint is a sensible workhorse choice.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like room to move, or one of you is a restless sleeper. The UK king is 15cm wider than the UK double, and if your room allows it, we'd recommend the UK king instead.

FAQ's
Is the Highgrove Brighton in a UK double big enough for a couple?
Yes, for most couples. The UK double is 135cm wide, giving 67.5cm each for two people sharing. That's the long-standing UK standard for couples, although broader or restless sleepers may prefer the UK king, which is 15cm wider. For a guest room that hosts couples occasionally, the double is comfortably adequate.
What room size do I need for the Highgrove Brighton UK double?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That's our guidance rather than the manufacturer's. In a room near the minimum you may need to choose between bedside tables on both sides and a full wardrobe, so measure before you commit.
How big is the Highgrove Brighton Crib 5 in a UK double?
It measures 135 x 190cm, which is 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in. That's 45cm wider than the UK single and 15cm wider than the UK small double, so it's a proper two-person size rather than a snug compromise. Highgrove doesn't publish a depth for this mattress, so check with the retailer if that matters.
Is the double a good size for a rental or guest bedroom?
It's usually the sensible choice. A UK double suits visiting couples and solo guests alike, fits most second bedrooms, and bedding for it is cheap and easy to find. If you're furnishing several rooms at once, standardising on doubles also simplifies buying sheets and duvets in bulk.
Should I buy the Highgrove Brighton in a UK double or a UK king?
It comes down to your room. The UK king is 15cm wider than the UK double and worth having if two of you share every night and the space allows. In a smaller bedroom, or a guest room used occasionally, the UK double leaves more floor for furniture and easier movement around the bed.
